It's as if you're new to Mad Men. Characters just exist, they pop up, and it's not explained quickly as to how they got there. Lane Pryce was just there one day, at the beginning of season three. As with Stan in season four. Or Megan. Or any number of other characters. Remember Joey Baird?

You've missed it. He's Ken Cosgrove, a squeaky clean account man. Juxtaposing the rotten account men like Sterling and Campbell. Similar to a sober Duck Phillips, as well. Thus, the butting of heads earlier in the season between Ken and Bob, Ken can see right through his act, because he's been that guy before. Ken…

Lastly, does anyone else see in Chaough, the younger brother than Don turned his back on? Because that appears to be their relationship, although Don doesn't seem warm to it yet. The way they were interacting in Chaough's (Roger's) office, seemed brotherly. Then again in the plane, the two of them together. We've…

Chaough trying his best to keep up with Don's drinking, meanwhile I'm shouting "CHAOUGH'S GAME! HE'S SO GAME!" at my television set. I swear Mad Men is more entertaining than sports.

My favorite part of this season is just the constant lurking of Bob Benson around the office. If anything is being said, he's nearby holding two coffees.

Roger Sterling's intentional mispronunciation of Chaough was golden.

Bob Benson amuses me to no end. I hope he's not a one-off character for this season.

I just don't like the tone of the show.

This takes me back to high school, I listened to this like crazy in 9th grade.

Jon Hamm and Don Draper just aren't the same person.

"Her face goes through about 15 emotions in the space of five or six seconds."

Week after week after week how is it that I constantly thing, "Well that was the best episode of Mad Men I've ever seen". It was so rich with stuff to chew on.

The way Hannah says, "You're here" to Adam when he gets there.

Two seasons in, if you're not invested in Hannah and Adam's relationship, I don't know what to tell you. To me, Adam's the glue that holds the whole show together. Their relationship was the underlying thread to everything.

Words can barely express the emotions felt while he was running to her. Just the spiral he's been on in the last two episodes. This was a guy who was going to AA to try and better himself, so Hannah might want him back. That's why last episode I was practically bawling when Hannah and Adam met outside, and Adam came…

Rewatched it a few times over, he's most definitely saying Lena.

Perhaps Apatow's influence, given that he was listed as a writer for this specific episode, and his history with TV finales. With them not knowing whether Freaks and Geeks' finale would be season or series, they shot it as both. Perhaps applying that rhetoric here as well. It worked!

In any other show, that ending would've been so corny. But it just worked, it hit, it landed, and it tugged at my fucking heart.

Brick has become my go-to recommendation if someone wants a movie to watch.
