He's Matthew Weiner's (creator of Mad Men) son. Always found his character a blatent case of neopotism and a small blemish on an otherwise fantastic show.

The bad acting just multiplies the cringe-factor. It's genius, admit it.
Horrendous acting coupled with weird love, those are the parts I will skip over when I inevitably re-watch the whole series.
He's a fat head.
Don's assistant is brilliant by the way. And the estate agent reminded me of a chubby Amy Adams.
Very funny episode!
Two things stood out amongst the creepiness/hilarity - Joan willing to give up her son so easily and Don's descent continuing.

I think that was more deadpan sarcasm towards the guy since that was essentially what he was implying she do. While she's clearly unhappy and the need to care for her son is contributing to that, I don't ever think she'd actually give him up.
Yeah that's what I thought, but was second guessing because of the delivery and the shot where she said goodbye to him whilst walking out of the door.
I wish I could ooze.
You ooze Nilssy. You ooze all over the place.
I've enjoyed the episodes, such a great and watchable show. Well, except for Glenn's face.

4 episodes left 
Glenn, what on earth? Every scene he's in is so weirdly bizarre, funny and cringe inducing all at once.
I also thought the dinner table scene with Sally's friend was hilarious too, especially Sally's reaction, she's a great young actress.
It's hard to imagine ever seeing another show as well written as Mad Men. One of the best shows ever.

Banshee.
Don't mock Banshee you dick.
Just the worst.
I can't decide if it's deliberate awkwardness which the character is supposed to have, or if he's just a terrible actor.
Yeah he really is a horrendously bad actor. It makes any scene he is in very difficult to watch.
TBF if I had to do a scene like that with January Jones I'd be a bit shit and awkward

Dinner conversations in the family must be awkward sometimes.
I know Eboue reads this thread so it was worth it.
My thoughts:
Glenn is no longer a fat head but he is a fecking terrible actor.
Who gives a shit about Mathis?
Bruce Greenwood has gotten old.
Don looks terrific in blue and with four episodes left seems more aimless than he's ever been.

Good episode this week...not sure where Don's heading but he has had some body blows...half expecting he doesn't make it out alive.
I think suicide is an option sadly. You see the final shots of the last 4 episodes have all been Don on his own looking at the loneliness around him. He took some major body blows the last few episodes from Cooper dying, Mathis, Sally, Meagan, Peggy, the waitress and even his realtor.If Don is killed off I'll cry
Not really sure how it'll end up either though.
Going further back his worlds been falling around him for years, his brother dying, Anna dying, 2 divorces, his strained relationship with his kids, the responsibility he feels over Prices suicide - throughout which advertising has become something that keeps him sane and on a level. I think as we have moved on he is becoming more aware that he put his work first for all these years and that's now coming back to haunt him as he realises he is alone and not even advertising can save him.
I'm not sure I see Mad Men is the type of show to kill off its main character at the end though, plus it seems to happen in every big drama that ends nowadays.
Agree which is why I'm not so sure but I think they could go down the route of having it end with him stood on the window ledge of his office about to jump. Either that or he rides off into the sunset but the last 4 episodes have ended with him being alone and lonely, which is why I can't see it ending in just a long drawn out shot of Don.
Just thinking maybe the final will revolve around a major event in 1970? What happened around that time that could play into it?
Not a lot, be funny if they incorporated this in though:
Although they don't have any cigarette brands anymore, shame.
Hmmmm there was talk about having a lasting impact but doubt they would play dons letter into this, especially as he went back on it in the end.
I suppose that not being sure how or where it will end is a good thing, May as well just enjoy the last few episodes - not many programs of this quality will be made again.
Kinda wish this was the final scene of the show..
I think that would have been a great ending.Kinda wish this was the final scene of the show..
This season feels like a broken record, endless repetitive episodes basically shouting at the same thing. Very disappointing IMO
They wouldn't...would they?
Still 4 episodes left for him to take even more body shots and you never know if they will go back to his identity thing catching up to him, but right now I don't think they will kill him off or have him top himself.....yet.
What would be a fitting closing theme? I'm thinking The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel.
I seen the suggestion of Oh! Sweet Nuthin' by Velvet Underground one time since it was released somewhere around very early 70's, where the show is roughly now, and they often like using music from the time period.
Nah, I don't think so.
Apparently they originally wanted Harry Crane to do it at the end of Season 1 when he cheats on his wife, but they decided against it. I wouldn't completely rule out a major character death, but they've already done suicide with Lane Pryce, so to have another suicide could perhaps seem a bit cliche.
If any major character's going to die though, then it could be Roger's old heart attacks catching up with him.
And if they do go for a suicide, Pete Campbell's gun hasn't appeared in a while.

Dpnt think Campbell's in a ad frame of mind and don't find Rodger to be stressed enough to have another heart attack.
Think the focus has been and will continue to be on Don for the final few episodes, how it ends for him is the biggest question.

Him committing suicide would actually make a lot of sense and would be a logical ending to the show. Maybe not the most satisfying, but it would be pretty understandable.
Don wouldn't commit suicide IMO
