I’m glad I saw all the other episodes of Mad Men first, because if I had started with the finale I’d have never watched another.

And I would have been very confused.

Actually, I’ve seen all the earlier episodes and I was still confused.

Surreal, bizarre, and just plain weird would be a few ways I’d describe last night’s episode, and while other weird things on the show have worked, this did not. Though I did appreciate the final joke (which did clear up a thing or two), there was just too much buildup for a gag that was only marginally clever. I expected more.

Kudos, Mad Men, for a great run. As a total package, you’re still one of my favorites. Mad Men ’70s reboot? Think about it.
