BOYHOOD
Not officially.
Basically Don called her from New York when he thought he was about to be fired and he came clean about all the issues he had been having at work (since she had never known he was on a leave of absence). He said it would finally allow him to move out to LA for good with her, but Megan was just sort of silent (I think part of it was her being upset about Don hiding all this from). There was some awkward silence I think and then they basically said goodbye.
It seemed really final. I thought there was a good chance that was the last scene Jessica Pare would ever do on Mad Men.
Brilliant.
I've got a fever.
And the only prescription
is more Glen

BRB. Gonna make a Boyhood/Glenn trailer mashup.
More like Boyhood meets slasher film

I mean, I don't think it'll have a huge boost in ratings ala Breaking Bad, for the exact reasons you mentioned, but I think if marketed properly it could lead to an uptick in the ratings over the first half of the season and also a resurgence of the Mad Men Hype during awards season and such.

He's turning into Harry Crane.
You forgot prep school Glen
I just hope Hamm gives a good performance and finally gets the Emmy he deserves. And I would love for at least some consideration for like a Christina Hendricks best supporting. I know Emmy's aren't the most important thing ever, but I love all of MM's performances so much. Will be a shame to not even see Hamm get one.
Hopefully it's different from last year. If I recall correctly Mad Men got shutout.

Yeah, but I feel that a properly marketed complete season 7 would've done better both in terms of audience and awards. The truncated 7a season had the lowest ratings of the entire series and the least amount of Emmy nominations. The split season just is a format that suits Mad Men extremely poorly. Sure I could be wrong and 7b turns into a smashing success (and nothing would make me happier because Mad Men is everything) but I doubt it.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
That teaser is so stylish. I'm going to miss this show so much.
And I'm personally not reading too much into the song choices. They used an Edward Sharpe song a few years back...

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Jessica Pare (Megan) looks downright stunning in that teaser trailer and pics. Her body is amazing.
First half of Season 7 also had a promo (the first shots I believe) of Don hailing a taxi cab in front of The Algonquinthis of course was featured in the episode where Don crashes Lou&Cutler's Philip Morris pitch.
The pics you're refering to (the plane/Pan-Am cast shots) were very stylized and much different than the ones that were recently released.
I originally thought they would be at a funeral but nobody is dressed appropriately for such an occasion.
Very true, he always misleads and tortures fans with his trailers/teasers. But, there's something interesting about the setting in this trailer. I'm just an obsessed fan (I watch the show every single day) and I love reading closely into things.

Mad Men's presence at the Emmys has waned the last few years, so I wouldn't say it's likely. Pretty insane that Hamm will likely not win for this role, but that's just how it goes sometimes. (Noms are the real recognition imo, there's usually several worthy winners especially in today's TV landscape)

I think he'll get it this time - not specifically for his performance in 7.B - but for his work across the entire series. Kyle Chandler got a pity Emmy and so will Jon Hamm!
I'd love to see the rest of the cast get some Emmy love too though. (Elizabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, and Christina Hendricks in particular, although almost anyone on the show could get one and I'd be thrilled just the same)
That was simply absurd. :/
It would have still gone up against the final half season of Breaking Bad and also True Detective (which didn't end up winning anything major lololol) and it would have lost to both.
It was actually higher rated than the first three seasons.
In terms of L+SD ratings:
1 < 2 < 3 < 7.A < 4 < 6 < 5
I guess we'll see!

Some friends and I made a short list of essential episodes to re-watch on the run up the to the finale.
We made the list of the top of our heads, and then took a look at a few critics' lists to see what we wanted to add. Here's what we've watched so far, and some reactions:
The Carousel
Just great. Interestingly, the performances are more mannered, the tone is more bottled up, and there's not a lot of surface emotion.
Shut the Door, Have a Seat
This was a bit of a disappointment on rewatch. Not that it wasn't funny and great, but taken out of context and in hindsight, it loses a lot of what made it so much fun. It's a very plotty episode, and my group tends to focus more on the character stuff, which we only get a little of. That which we get--- Roger and Don getting along again, Don and Peggy starting to seriously rift-- is great though.
The Suitcase
What can I say? Best episode of the series, completely stands up on rewatch. One thing that's really clear that I didn't quite get the first time-- all of the pitches that Don rejects are pretty good to great, one of them is even a later, iconic actual campaign in real life. It underscores just how out of it he is, with the emotional stress he's under about Anna, and the drinking. In the end, it's not about the actual ads though, it's about him and Peggy bonding over doing hard work together. Even knowing that their relationship is destined to have some pretty big future lows, it's very poignant.
Coming up, The Summer Man and The Beautiful Girls (and I forget what exactly is on our list after that, pretty sure The Strategy is in there).
Suitcase, Summer Man and Beautiful Girls are all in a row, and to me is the high point of the series so far. Three of the best episodes of the entire run all together. They were on fire. I don't think the show has every gone awry or leapt over any predatory sea creatures, but they haven't rivaled this peak, either.

Of course it's not wrong.
Well, okay wait, what's WRONG is that you reminded me we're never going to get see what happened to Sal. So that sucks. Thanks for that.

I laughed out loud fo' real.
Hmm I see you point re: Breaking Bad & True Detective, and I must admit that I wasn't that thorough in looking at the ratings so thanks for correcting my faulty recollection of things. I still think that the split season won't pan out as a brilliant strategy, but yeah we'll see about that.
Now for a somewhat related question, has there been any talk about what Matthew Weiner is up to next?

I saw the Whose Line is it Anyway live (tour) show the other day and Joel Murray who plays Fred was one of the cast members. Guy was surprisingly funny and a little weird.

Wow, I had no idea Jon Hamm had revealed the ending in this interview ;
Crazy. I like it. Very unexpected.

"Don ends up changing identities again and running an artisanal ice cream shop in Vermont. So he changes his name to 'Ben & Jerry.' Which I don't think anybody would really see coming, and this won't air till it already airs, but really, I think it works
it just works for the character."

NO! He's old, he's gray, and he's trying to recapture "The Carousel" moment by pitching Mcdonald's the Arch Deluxe. That is the only true canonical ending.
And then he falls down an elevator shaft while Pete shoots up the place and jumps out the window.
Jon Hamm never lies.
