    Cooper after his old friend and secretary ms. Blankenship passed away: "She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the thirty-seventh floor of a skyscraper. She's an astronaut." Cooper died watching the moon landing. So many details. Beautiful sendoff for the creator of the original agency.

      Etana Edelman Not only that, but it seemed to be a more subtle allegory of what Don and the agency represents. Throughout his whole career, he had been convincing himself that these material things fill the void of our unhappiness. I think it was trying to lead up to Don's breakdown and that he was finally starting to accept that his whole philosophy is hinged upon a lie.

You can so clearly feel the writers' love for both Bert and Robert, and I'm glad he was alive to be a part of his own tribute, kind of like attending your own funeral to cheer everyone up and remind us that the little things in life are the most valuable.

      I agree with the commenter above me, due to Don's turbulant childhood, he has multiple father figures. Bert I think was one that was always assumed, but never shown in depth, as contrast to Freddy Rumsen, Roger Sterling, and a few others.

    • @Unownshipper
      @Unownshipper 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @Serena Z Interesting. I don't want to say your interpretation is incorrect (no one can say for sure except Matt Weiner), but the age difference keeps me from being able to see Roger see Don that way. Definitely right about the "curious child" remark (doesn't Roger call himself something similar?), but while Roger and Don can go toe-to-toe with each other and play off each other well, Roger is privately envious of Don's youth. In the LSD scene Roger looks at the Time Magazine cover then sees himself with half his silver hair, half black hair. Roger is very nearly Don (he's got the confidence, the business savvy, the success, etc.) but Don will always be younger than him and he's always comparing himself to him in that way. Rather than looking up to Don, I'd argue that means he's just comparing himself to what he was 15/20 years ago when he was at his self-described "prime."
      Again, I think Don might view Roger as a bit of a father figure (definitely a mentor), but Roger views Don as more of a brother/drinking buddy.

      He spent all those years selfishly, only thinking for himself and chasing wome. He didnt care about people around him, people who love and care for him.
      He was spoiled, people always came to him first and gave him things unconditionally. Both Roger and Bert was on his side everytime he wanted to jump ships even if it meant taking unecessary risks, ran the company around him. But he still always took it for granted. He never gave them the credits nor treated them with more respect. Roger was alsolutely right about Don, he "doesnt have many relationships because he doesnt value them". That was after Don turned his back on Roger and got kicked around by Conrad Hilton.

    As a musical theatre person, and an improviser at 49 years old? I cannot stop watching this amazing performance.
    How to Succeed in Being A Musical Theatre Actor With Not Really Trying (because you are so damn talented).
    This is a tribute. It even fit into the madmen story.
    I have and always will be a fan of Robert Morse.
    If you are even reading this sir, I'm a Second City Alumna and had the distinction of being around Del, Mina and Harris.
    You are of that generation I stand in awe of.
    This was wonderful.
    Thank you.

    I've been watching MAD MEN for the first time, and by some eerie coincidence, the episode I got to on the day Robert Morse's death was announced was...this one. Certainly painted this scene in an even more bittersweet light.

    You can just tell how the realization of it all hit's Don near the end. That look of "don't go away yet" almost like when a child is watching TV and their favorite character exits the scene for the last time.

    For me, this scene always will be the series finale. So much better than the actual one, and the only scenes I need from the whole back half of season 7 are a pair: Peggy and Roger bidding farewell to SCDP/SC&P with liquor and roller skates, followed by Peggy striding into McCann like a boss.
