TV Matthew Weiner on the Season Finale of Mad Men
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 11:05 AM
It's right here at the Daily Beast. Interesting, ya'll!
Plus! Jon Hamm answers viewers' questions HERE, and the always brilliant Footnotes of Mad Men season finale wrap up is HERE.

"She might not even be able to express it, but what she wants is for all of her needs to be met, with anticipation."
God. If only more men would *get* this.

Lol, horse kicked a drunk man. I enjoyed the madcap caper-esque wrap up to the episode. I just wished they'd have pulled Sal in the starting group at the new agency. Sal is SO dreamy.

Side note: My sister-in-law refuses to watch Mad Men, because of all the sexism, smoking, domestic violence, racism, etc. "Why would I want to watch something that glorifies what I detest?"
Discuss.
Discuss.

For the same reason everyone should read Updike or Richard Yates. It's a brutally honest look inside the pre and post Camelot American psyche.
I just used all my smart words. Lying down now.

Jesus, has your sister-in-law then not watched any TV over the past 40 years?
I missed Sal and the other secondary fellas this past season. More of them, less of Betty, please. Her selfish, woe-is-me, bratty shit's been grating on me since season 2.
Please lay off Sally, Hump! So she's got a lisp. So she's not a polished, disney-fied and precocious kid actor. She acts like a real kid who's not trying to act beyond their years. I kinda dig her.

1)Sally is a Goddess
2)Check out the Comments section on the Daily Beast interview with Matthew Weiner...there's a couple of asshats on there whining because the article writer didn't post SPOILER WARNINGS on the article...which is quite clearly labeled as a season finale post-mortem with Weiner.
Dear Shitheads: Spoiler Warnings (for TV shows) are a moot point after the show has aired nationally. If you choose not to watch the initial airing, that's your choice...quit sucking up all the oxygen in the room and leave some for people who have a brain...thanx!
