I'm going to be traveling and will miss it when it airs but hope that the ever-unreliable iTunes version will download.<br /><br />Flavia, thanks! I try not to repeat Sepinwall or anyone, but I really like to put those thoughts down and hope that others enjoy them, too. You're right: he does seem happy and upbeat. He wants to be doing this, as you say, but it's not what we (okay, I) want him to do, which is what makes Diana and the rest so frustrating. <br /><br />Speaking of frustrating: I could make a study/do a post about the recap world of MM. They all start to blend in, and some make some funny mistakes. Daily Beast seemed to think that Don had confessed to MURDER until it took down the post, and Vanity Fair's Katey Rich thinks that Don, in Alva, Oklahoma and Pete, in Wichita, Kansas are "in the same state." undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-48934365717955846012015-05-11T22:11:56.293-07:002015-05-11T22:11:56.293-07:00(Also, I too really enjoy your updates--just haven...(Also, I too really enjoy your updates--just haven't been commenting because until this episode I've been watching 5-6 days late, in order to watch with my spouse!)Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-50819273096350714732015-05-11T22:03:40.505-07:002015-05-11T22:03:40.505-07:00I think Don seems totally happy--he's seemed o...I think Don seems totally happy--he's seemed oddly upbeat all this half-season, actually (not particularly depressed by the divorce, just ready for it to be over; not happy at work, but actively searching for something else), and with the exception of being smacked in the face with a phone book, pretty content all this episode. Whatever he's doing, he seems to want to be doing it.<br /><br />(And he's left McCann, right? Duck asks Pete about whether Don really left a million dollars on the table, and though Pete doesn't confirm it, my sense is that Don's departure is well-known.)Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22001031.post-36826543159309527762015-05-11T13:11:44.015-07:002015-05-11T13:11:44.015-07:00I cannot believe how this show is ending.

But I do know that I'll have a drink in hand and will be happy that I don't have to go into the office the next day. :) Thanks for your ever-helpful analysis. :) Fie upon this quiet life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12047096700049201873noreply@blogger.com
