Let's talk about the latest episode here! I thought this was the best episode of the season so far. I was cringing while watching Don at that Life meeting.... also, I was so relieved that he didn't have to give a speech. He might be going to AA meetings with Freddie before long.
So, Don lied to get his foot into the door at Sterling Cooper? That's how I took that ending and it was hilarious. Oh, and what about that art director Peggy was stuck with? The guy was a sociopath.

I know I'm a year or so late in watching this, but am new to the show in general.
I'm not usually so moved by television, but I had to watch this episode several times. Then I watched this montage from the episode and balled my eyes out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f2Of7lXpnU
It feels to me like this is such a penultimate scene in so many ways.
To me, when Anna appeared, she gave the nod of approval to Don for some sort of relationship with Peggy. Definitely a maternal one in a sense. It's heartbreaking to see in a way, her being naturally maternal and needing that outlet after what happened with giving up the baby, and him being so vulnerable and an orphan in one sense, needing the love of a mother figure.
I love the contrast with Peggy and the other women in Don's life leading up to this point. We've never seen him cry in front of any of the others, hardly even Betty? That he can be so vulnerable with her is a huge thing. By the end of the episode, with the 'door open or closed' comment, it's like he may finally be open to the possbility of something with Peggy in the future. The conversation in the diner, about hitting her head against a brick wall is exactly what she has done with Don for years, but finally seems to breakthrough in this episode. (Remember the comment, 'there's a way in/out that we don't know about'.) I also love Peggy's comment about not knowing whether something is good or awful, how this could really relate to Don too.
She truly is the one that he can open up to and who understands him the most, despite not knowing his true identity. They are also obviously mirrors of each other in many ways, even down to their sense of morality. I think that a possible relationship would make sense between these two characters, because they do have a deep bond, based on mutual admiration, respect and intimacy. Great episode.

Wow! This was a doozy! Was Don already looking out the window hoping for escape in the end? Loved the little bonding smoke break between Peggy and Joan... who apparently decided to keep Roger's baby. Amazing!

I think Betty's intentions were partially admirable. Glenn is clearly a very damaged boy and not the best influence on Sally. On the other hand, I think Betty is jealous of the attention Sally receives from Glenn, the attention and affection that was once hers. She is back to where she was when she gave him that lock of hair; alone, unhappy in marriage and in life.

So what do we think about there being only three more seasons? Is it too much or not enough. (I think it is about right.)
Also I heard that two characters are to be dropped in the next season - any guesses?

They haven't started writing yet because Lionsgate and AMC have dragged on the negotiations for another season.
And if they don't finish up soon, there will be no Mad Men in 2011: which is why we began this petition to remind them that they shouldn't take Mad Men fans for granted.

I'm hesitant to make any predictions, as this show almost never does what you expect. They could make it work whatever way they go - whether the agency dies or survives. I can't believe it's already the season finale, though.

RE: Episode 4.11 "Chinese Wall"

Oct 8 2010, 8:50 PM EDT
My first thoughts on this episode (a bit late).
At the risk of stating the obvious - this episode is called “Chinese Wall” following an expression Faye made in the last episode when she was referring to the separation of work and personal life.
The episode does seem to look at work and personal lives of the characters – but then, what episode does not?
I guess the main relevant plot point is that Don shocks Faye by asking her to abandon her professional confidentiality and that eventually she does so out of love for him.
However there are other breaches in the wall. Pete has his father-in-law as a client, Don accuses him of being distracted by his baby, and there is the usual array of office romances. You might stretch the point and see that Stan’s choice to not tell Peggy about the lipstick on her teeth was a case where personal feelings interfered with work.
Finally, at the memorial service, we get to see what happens when work dominates over family live. The eulogists are trying too hard to tell the widow and child how the Company Man was thinking about his family. From the look on their faces they were not buying it!

"Pete did take a bullet for Don and I believe Don realizes his debt to Pete based on how Don spoke up during the last shareholders meeting when Roger was lambasting Pete. The question is, will Don ever repay Pete for his sacrifice? Only time will tell." Don's used to this kind of treatment. I bet he probably just thinks it's something he's owed, and won't consider it something to be repaid. Pete could have tried a bit harder on his lie, though. What he came up with seemed pretty lame. He should have asked Don, an expert - almost sociopathic - liar, for his advice.

This site is very difficult to access. And now that I finally found the discussion part I find I need help in navigating. Will I get an email when there is another post after post #11 or 12? I will bookmark this page, just in case I lose access.
I thought Megan was quietly introduced in this episode as the possible new secretary to Don and also a non-Betty type who might make a difference in Don's life, romantically. She showed compassion to Sally, where Faye was too self-absorbed. I am hoping...
I'll miss Blankenship - she added a needed touch of comedy to the show. Her doing the crossword with Bert was priceless.
Good job, Mad Men!

"Bethany is basically a younger version of Betty. "
I noticed that as well. In terms of the reaction, I think Beth was taken a back by Betty's good looks.
Don seems to go for blondes, when it comes to partnership and matramony. However, he fools around with Brunnets.
He seemed more at ease with Faye, and of course she closer to his own age. He showed restraint and good judgement at the end, it really seems like the man is determined to get his life back, avoid impulse, and repeating mistakes.
I enjoyed the journal naratives, it was something we've never seen before on this series and was a pleasant creative surprise, It adds yet another dimention to what is allready riveting veiwing.
The previous Suitecase was a landmark episode, and diffficult to follow, yet they've done a very fine job.
Also, in this episode, it appears that Jon Hamm is an excellent swimmer.

So, who do you usually side with when these two ladies are at odds? I felt just awful for Peggy when she took charge of the Joey / drawing situation and was chewed out by Joan for doing it. I could see why both of them were upset at the moment, but Peggy was truly defending Joan's honor IMO!

I wonder if we can say that Don loves Anna unconditionally, there are things Don has not told Anna. He didn't tell Anna that after he rejected his brother he killed himself, he only told her about rejecting him. She believes to know everything about him, but she doesn't.
Nonetheless, Anna is like the mother he never had, spiritual, but not religious, apparently free of judgment. I wonder if we will learn more about their relationship. Was it ever romantic?
BTW, Dr. G should have been a pediatrician.
