So this season of Mad Men ends with mixed emotions for me. First of all let me say that I'm happy with how the company ended up, everyone back together working for themselves & each other the way they used to. It's good to have Joan back with the guys, Peggy standing up for herself, Don realizing what a prick he'd been, and him & Roger repairing their bond. I will say that Don & Betty actually splitting up doesn't sit well with me...sure he's a lying cheating son of a bitch though almost all of the guys were & their wives just looked the other way but even though he had affair after affair I still always loved the way he loved her. If I were her I'd leave him too, given not only the infidelity but more so his lies about who he really is, not emotionally but literally...that would really bother me to be married to someone & not even know their real name!! Still, for shows sake, I prefer them together dammit probably because I don't like this other guy (Henry) she's about to shack up with & though I don't like kids I feel bad for them. Speaking of kids, can I just say that their kids are so well behaved the majority of the time, they listen when spoken to, do what they are told & don't talk back...you know why? Spanking & honestly, I really wish people still practiced it because too many kids know there are no actual consequences to their actions so they just behave however they want & mom can shake a finger & say no but I'll bet if she slapped them upside the head they would actually stop. Kids no longer fear their parents! Anyway, that's off topic but I needed to make the point.
So, do we think that Roger & Joan will hook back up? Do we think that Betty will actually Henry? Does anyone else have a sneaking suspicion that Henry is abusive? Do we think that Don will get back with Miss Farrell? Is anyone else pissed that they didn't leave Pete Campbell behind on the new firm deal? Oh man, how am I going to make it until next season? I'm already going crazy & it just ended last night!!
