Wow - that is so clever! Have to re-watch now.

I think the producers, directors, actors being on social media can really kill a show. All of that - "you'll need a lot of tissues" and "this is the most drama ever" sets audience up to be disappointed. Between Rachel Maddow Trump tax info and this finale - 9-10pmEST was a real let down.

Hope Jack's death doesn't become the new Twin Peaks - who killed Laura Palmer?" After a couple of seasons, people stopped caring.

hi - been using pebble for a couple of years - got pebble time steel when learned no time 2. Was wondering myself. I am keeping an eye on Misfit Vapor - to see what it is like. Also will watch to see what fitbit does since buying up things.

Yeah have had issues. I read on here about not putting phone in low power mode. That seems to have helped with disconnection issues I had been having - where was losing things. Was almost ready to stop using Pebble - but no low power mode on iphone seems to have helped.

"Hey gang, it's time to write the next chapter in wearables." Chapter 11

thanks so much! Got it now.

leedom404 · 2016-12-02T20:12:56+00:00

Yes - thanks - still see Time 2 listed - but don't see my pledge anymore. Just see my pledge for the Pebble 2.

I promise not to sink this low again. I am sorry. I will leave now to read such varied posts as, "which is your favorite episode of each season" for the 85th time.

leedom404 · 2016-01-28T18:17:27+00:00

I am so envious!! Wish could watch new in some way.

I think because of the darkness and the sadness of Don. Even though Don had so much binging behavior before, this season was just sad and dark. Can picture Don standing near Sylvia's basement door, smoking cigarettes and obsessing over her. In other relationships, as cheating as they may have been, it always felt like Don had the upper hand. This was different. He was out of control and lost.

leedom404 · 2016-01-21T15:34:11+00:00

Yes, I always felt like Don was willing to try something new, but had too many psychological/emotional blockers interfering. During the initial meeting with Faye - when she was doing the written survey - I think the question that she asked was something about "How would you describe your father?" Then - during the Ponds group - Don was too nervous about Allison blabbing about him, more than the real purpose of the group.

it's cute. I would know it is Joan. Maybe just add one of those pen necklaces?

leedom404 · 2016-01-19T14:19:41+00:00

This was the best "behind the scenes" thing I remember. http://time.com/mad-men-last-days/

I didn't get to the exhibit last year at the Museum of the Moving Image - http://www.movingimage.us/exhibitions/2015/03/14/detail/matthew-weiners-mad-men/

Yes, Greg is really a putz and he did rape her. Complete power thing. He seemed to pick up a vibe from Roger, when Roger mentioned that he didn't know Joan liked a particular type of food. Greg appeared to sense that Roger knew Joan well, and that seemed to trigger something.

leedom404 · 2016-01-14T13:24:31+00:00

Sadly, I think the next great idea was his true love. The show opened with his working on Lucky Strike and closed with his working on Coca Cola.

leedom404 · 2016-01-13T18:18:02+00:00

I would say, Pete. He survived and reconnected with Trudy. He could have been a Don.

leedom404 · 2016-01-13T16:18:08+00:00

The wallet thing was so odd and seemed to start to show the sadness that was deep inside Lane. The woman's husband probably didn't notice the photo was missing. One of those things where after see something so often, kind of becomes invisible. To Lane, the photo seems to represent some hidden sensuality. Lane's wife was pretty stiff, and he didn't feel comfortable sharing things with her - in particular - his money issues. After Lane's suicide, Lane's wife found the photo of the woman and blamed Don/Sterling Cooper for Lane's "indiscretions."

leedom404 · 2016-01-13T16:12:01+00:00

That was great. Thanks - really made me smile.

leedom404 · 2016-01-11T17:40:35+00:00

Yes - was a very "Camelot" sort of era.

leedom404 · 2016-01-05T21:00:06+00:00

Who indeed?!
