    Mad Men: Final Season

    Joan's ending also completes the Joan-Peggy parallel storyline, with Joan going from '50s holdover to full-on modern businesswoman, choosing the career she was never supposed to have over the man who would have kept her from it. In that sense, she out-Peggys Peggy. Go, Joan!

    Mad Men: Final Season

    The guy who plays Stan was good too. His may not have been the most showy role, but he was entirely believable -- and likable -- as that character. Made more of Stan than existed on the scripted page.

    Mad Men: Final Season

    Thinking about Peggy for a moment, I liked that the show led us to believe that she would end up wedded to her career, but then, at the last second, pulled the rug and gave her a shot at happiness outside the workplace as well. Probably says something that Don's protege found all her forms of...

    Mad Men: Final Season

     That's one thing I like about it. It's so cynical but also kind of beautiful. Like the carousel ad, it's Don channeling his own suffering and emotional journey into the work. That's his culmination -- in the end, it's about the work. By returning to New York after Anna abandons him, his...

    Mad Men: Final Season

    You guys have more faith in Don's ability to change than I do. How many weepy epiphanies have we seen from him in just the last two episodes, only for him to end up where he was? How many before that? And if you buy that he goes right back to his old life in NYC and creates the Coke campaign ...

    Mad Men: Final Season

    Oh yeah, the knowing bit about Stan and Peggy's phone calls was also nifty. Fan service, sure, but I, like Don, appreciate a proper servicing.

    Mad Men: Final Season

    Honestly, I thought they were going out on the shot of Don's face, with the smile suggesting Dick Whitman had found some small measure of peace in his spiritual home of California. That would have been a huge disappointment. But to subvert that kumbayah moment and connect it to a pinnacle of...

    Mad Men: Final Season

    Remember how incredulous Don was when Peggy told him that she wanted to create something of lasting value? In advertising? The Coke commercial was a real-world intersection far better and smarter than the goofy D.B. Cooper business. Perfect mix of answers and ambiguity.

    Mad Men: Final Season

    I thought the commune scenes were tedious ... until the Coke commercial. One last twist, and it might just be genius. I can't say I loved the finale, but I admired it. I think.

    Mad Men: Final Season

     I don't see how it would make sense. Don doesn't seem to care about money (he just threw away a million on Meghan), has essentially no possessions now and just sold his old apartment, so he's not hurting for cash. Why would he skyjack a plane and demand some relatively petty amount of...

    MC General Chat

     I actually thought it has been getting a little better. Sometimes there are discussions -- whole threads, even -- about topics other than how great an affiliate's merch is. For a while, it just seemed like endless sponsored/appreciation threads. That said, I don't visit much anymore, so I...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I don't care for either of those. But setting that aside, it seems like the yellow cast could be treacherous for some complexions.

     Manton sure loves drape.

    whnay.'s good taste thread

    I have a dotted knit that I bought years ago and have worn relentlessly that still looks new, I have a couple of others that I bought more recently, not seeing an obvious difference, and the dots have already started to surrender. So there's some difference, though I can't say whether that...

    whnay.'s good taste thread

    Conversely, that Trad stores sell something doesn't make it nice. Most of the things in many such stores these days aren't very nice at all. I would not have thought a knit could hold permanent wrinkles until I bought one that did. Regardless of whether it's made in England, Italy or China...

    whnay.'s good taste thread

     I'd have agreed with you a few years ago, when knits were somewhat rare specimens, but their boom in popularity has been accompanied by a boom in cheap, poor-quality ones. As you might expect. The are all sorts of thin, flat, limp, dead ones out there now, sometimes with dots that can't...

    Dare I suggest it often works best with a white OCBD? I'll wait till someone foolishly disagrees and then tell you why.

    gennaro paone: former head tailor of rubinacci

     This business card is in desperate need of a bespoke stylist who understands inset.

    That might be my favorite patterned tie. Simple stripes don't get the love they deserve on SF.
