Who is watching Mad Men? [View all]

This final half-season makes me think the series should have ended last season. I have no interest in following Don's continued sexual exploits and angst about the past anymore (are we to see each of his past flings in some farewell tour?). And I was hoping Weiner would explore the Women's Lib movement but it appears he'll ignore it. Joan and Peggy are two characters approaching feminist issues from different perspectives; it would be fantastic to explore them.

Last night's episode makes it look like the series has just gone on too long.

Mad Men always starts out really slow and boring, and then gets cooking Sheldon Cooper Apr 2015 #5

I want to see Don fall out the window of a tall building in the final episode. valerief May 2015 #17

None of my predictions about Mad Men have come true so far. Sheldon Cooper May 2015 #18

I think I'd rather take in what's happening now rather than make predictions Novara May 2015 #19
