hand holding
Can we please talk about the callback to the pilot? Where on her first day, Peggy put her hand on Don's, and he rejected her? And in tonight's final scene, he put his hand on hers? Beautiful. It made my heart hurt.

Why, Lisa why why?
You are tearing me apart Lisa!

I am excited for this
aw, thanks av club. So cool of you guys.

yes. go badgers.

Yeah, Fleet Foxes should have been squeezed in somewhere. Absolutely flawless album.

"Well, I may be a genius, but I'm not a lesbian"
"All dogs are blue now"

I'm just saying…it spoke highly of the advertising world? That's your complaint? At least give it credit for taking a more interesting stance on the field then the public apparently has.

don't hate
could we have gotten someone who doesn't hate advertising and respects its creativity and social impact to review this film?

question
Did whats-her-name who lost remind anyone else of Watts from Some Kind of Wonderful?

I got the idea that Sal and Don were helping each other out. You could tell Sal was a little blown away by how easily Don became this other persona and how quickly his lies came to him. Back at the office, the guys were begging him for details about his night on the town with Don Draper, and he said something about…

Poor, poor Kings
NBC kicked it around, and now the AV Club won't even review it. Sad.
