Content - specifically, their own. If you have sole rights to stuff people want to watch, what else are they going to do? Not saying I'm in favor of ads, but if it's either a choice between getting the content you want with ads or not getting the content you want… are you really going to let the ads stop you?

For advertising their own shows, they should find a way to push content the user might be interested in without forcing them to watch an ad. An example would be when you click into a series and are browsing episodes to watch. There could be a link at the top for the show recommendation. Or perhaps they could adjust

But that's not Jeff. His character has almost always been about taking shortcuts and the easy way out. If he can kick his feet up and crack wise, he'll do that. Putting a lot of effort into anything isn't his MO. I felt like this episode actually explained why he's still there. It's easy. He's always going to be king

Me too. I love reading a review where the show is mercilessly ripped.

That was a great episode, especially the producer's extended cut.

Senor Chang was such a good character in seasons 1 and 2 when he was actually a sane person. Remember when his ex-wife showed up to dance with him? Or the keytar and the busted windshield? Ever since they sent him off the deep end in season 3 things haven't been the same.

Alison Brie, and it's not even a discussion.

Not sure if you're trolling, but it just isn't true. Jeff in the pilot was an asshole who didn't care about anybody but himself. Over the course of the first few seasons, we saw him grudgingly start to care about the people in the study group. Remember when Pierce and Troy danced with Chang in their ladies'

I could absolutely buy that. I know it's stereotypical and not always the case, but I feel like female writers are going to push the show in a direction that cares more about the characters, and that's what's missing. It feels like a bunch of dudes writing this who think the only point is to come up with wacky

Kind of damning with faint praise, isn't it? The sitcom format seems to be more or less dead to me.

It was unwatchable for me the whole way through. It reminded me of "Basic Rocket Science" from season 2, another episode that centered on the gang being in a bus/RV for most of the episode, but this was just unfunny and not interesting.

Nothing that's led up to this point would explain Don leaving his kids with Henry. Even in this episode, he's calling Sally from the road and doing Dad things. I don't think there's even a question.

There's no way Don doesn't take his kids. He's stayed on the outside out of respect for Betty and Henry. It was the right thing to do. Now that Betty's gone, he'll step back into the father role.

I think that shot actually proves the counter. Don desperately wants that life because it's the one he never had as a child. He's sad because he could have had that with Betty but he screwed up.

Don's a great dad. Of course he's going to come back and raise his kids.

I feel like Peggy's story closed when she moved in to the McCann building with her cool outfit and cigarette. Maybe there's a personal aspect - still think she and Stan would make a good couple - but otherwise, I think her course is set. She's going to work at McCann for a few years before moving on to bigger and

Someone below theorized Betty's funeral would be the central event of the finale, which would make a lot of sense. It would bring a lot of the main characters together and make it easy to resolve a lot of characters quickly, which they need to do with only an hour and change. Not sure how far forward they'd need to

Someone below theorized it was a ruse on Duck's part so he had a plausible reason to be in the building.

Re: Don and Megan - really? I couldn't disagree more. You're right that he could have moved out to CA while he was suspended, but it wasn't the work, per se, that kept them apart - it was his idea that somehow he was building something that mattered. I think season 7 has been all about tearing apart that idea for

I'm not sure how much there is to fit. Aside from Don, I feel like each main character's story is more or less wrapped up.
