Meagon is a terrible woman. Hate bytches like that. The world owes you nada. That walk @ the end was symbolic as fukk. He seemed disgusted with her. That's not the woman he wanted. The Don is back though

haven't caught up with the thread yet.

interesting although quite anti-climatic finale.
felt like the episode was going nowhere but Pete's speech and the kind of Soprano's-esque ending (season 2 opener to Sinatra's song) were great.

i liked Meagans mothers advice to Don...probably the best bit of the quite boring arc until the fantastic shot of Don walking away from Meagans shoot and to the bar and the little end bit was nice.. also though the shot of them looking out the window was great.

great season.

basically. i really liked her too but it was a shame.

aint even gonna break it down

 

[Roger Sterling]

Yeah, Meagan made herself much less sympathetic with that c*nt move. fukking over a "friend" like that.

And Don is done with Megan.

He's always been attracted to and respected women with ambition, women that didn't need his help. The artist, the Jewish chick that ran that department store, the teacher, the agent, Faye.

He became interested in Megan when she said she was interested in the ad agency and she was actually good. Don was after she came up with a tag and wanted to impregnante her for how she handled the dinner with Heinz.

Even when she wanted to leave and do the acting thing, it was something she wanted to do, something she wanted to work at.

All that respect left when she begged Don for the commercial. She wasn't doing it for the art or the money, she just wanted to be put on without working for it. She went from someone complaining about not wanting to see success because of who her husband was, to begging for favors.

Don left her at the studio where she was preparing for an ad, which is how he met Betty, the woman he stepped out on seeking the strong women that didn't need his help. Even though he helped her to make her happy, he's helped facilitate her turning into the woman he wanted to escape from.


Cliff notes: He fukked them two chicks from the bar.

edxactly why i didnt break it down. knew somebody would have already done it

The Don is back

That last scene was superb

 

[jwinfield]

Friend pointed out to me the difference in Don from the start and end of the season.

At the rock concert, young chicks thought Don was a narc.

Last scene, chick walks up to him with the
