I wanted to see Don and the ghost of Bert Cooper talk more about books. I was imagining a book club the two of them had back at SCDP, where Don told Cooper about On the Road and Cooper, finally done with his Ayn Rand bender, told Don he wasn't into that hep trash. And then Pete Campbell walks in and is like,
"Good day…

We also got confirmation of one last vaguely Pete-centric episode, and scenes with Sally! Count me the hell in. I can't wait to see why exactly Pete is screaming into a hole in the wall, other than to express his existential fear of the looking into the abyss.

HOBS: Where the hell is Don? He walked out of a meeting Wednesday
and hasn’t come back.
ROGS: …He does that.

I came to this conclusion as well. But goddamn, her refusal to back down to Hobart was one of the most satisfying scenes.
Edit: I also didn't want to spend the last two episodes on a plot about Joan's lawsuit. But that's just selfish.

That drunken roller skating with Roger playing the organ. BRILLIANT, give us a spinoff of just that for an hour each week.

The buzzing of the office response to Don's "speech," intensifying, Harry Crane's loyally misplaced, "This is good news!" and that slow pull back from the partners felt like the Don Draper bubble finally popped, and his control of the universe slipped slowly away. It was awesome.

Ever since John Slattery directed 'Signal 30' back in Season 5, I can't help but check who it's going to be. I was afraid this episode might not be that good once I saw his name, but I forgot about it completely until the Pete punch. The episode was stellar, and I saw on his Twitter that it was his debut director…

And he landed a freaking punch without getting beaten to submission! The fact that Jared Harris directed this episode was just icing on the cake.

"The king ordered it!"
I love how Pete knew all the details of what the administrator was talking about, even though he initially played it off as something only a crazy person would consider.

Yeah, I was confused about this, because I wasn't posting with any rancor intended, not at all. I can't wait for someone to invent a way for people to type in a specific tone. Right now there's just /s.
Like when I said ElDan was a d-hole, I meant it as completely harmless. And the 'Internet facts' was just a dumb…

It was new to me too when I saw it last week, but I thought it was plausible that he could have accidentally said something to the wrong person, and it ended up getting back to Weiner.
A violation makes more sense since he's famously secretive of every detail until the episode airs, and the Glen thing could have been a…

Wow, I have never read anything about that. I'm curious about this arguable worst human, but it's better kept a mystery.

I don't really know what that means. I posted and acknowledged that it was a rumor from the comments last week that I believed was the most likely to be true since I can't find any other sources. Maybe my posts are not being read as playful/sarcastic as I mean them, my mistake. I'm not trying to argue about anything,…

Did you think of Sal when Mathis started yelling at Don about Lucky Strike and Lee Garner Jr. wanting to jack him off? Cause I completely thought of Sal when he said that.

An interview after 'Waterloo' aired had him saying something like, "I didn't even know Megan and Don were going to get divorced until the writers this season told me," so I doubt he planned it out that far. And he's also said so many times that he tries to make each season finale a possible series one.
So I think when…

EDIT: "I can't believe you guys had the balls to come back after the way you embarrassed yourselves last time."

I know you're just being a sarcastic d-hole, but I'm not a Hollywood insider with contacts to verify something like that, and could find nothing about Sal's firing. If Weiner won't explain why he wrote Sal off the show after their argument, it's likely a reason he doesn't want anyone to know.

It was a very interesting scene, because Sally knows of the infidelities, now she understood how he acts and allows those events to come to pass. Plus it had just happened with Betty.
I don't think Don did anything wrong either, Alan Sepinwall's review mentioned him going "over the line," but I didn't get that. He was…

Well, I'd read about the rumor of him doing something to piss Weiner off enough to kick him off the show, but last week that rumor surfaced and since there's no official explanation to find, I'm going to believe that until it's refuted. It at least makes sense out of that decision. Even though it is petty and kind of…
