You've all (I assume) watched the slow play for years now but NOW THAT THERES 4 EPISODES LEFT THINGS AREN'T HAPPENING FAST ENOUGH FOR ME AND I'M TYPING FURIOUSLY TO SHOW MY DISPLEASURE.
People that are still following the show know exactly what to expect. Compare the first 3 episodes of the season to the first three of any other. It's been shite.

I'm actually tired of Joan's big tits
There I said it!!! I cant fricking concentrate on anything going on when they pop up on screen. I've been dealing with this for 7 seasons now.

just this weekend my MIL made a facebook comment about how tour guide on vacation was a hot guy who was 18. shes 61!
It blows my mind that older women like that cream over 18 year olds. jesus, when I was 18 girls that were 22 were telling me I was too young, lol

No. I just want dialogue between actually important characters. These three episodes have had hardly no memorable scenes between essential characters. Every character is either not on screen at all or wasting all of their lines on some extra we just met. This season has had absolutely nothing that made me enjoy the show in the first place. I was entertained enough by episode 1, but it has gotten old. It's crazy, but part of me is starting to believe that Burt Cooper was more essential to the show than I thought. At least he seemed to be able to keep all of the characters in the office. And I miss partner meetings, even when they were short and in the fricking hallway. Why in the world have we not had a partner meeting? I literally have no idea what is going on with the company. That has never been the case.
I never understood how people could say that this show is slow. But this season is absolutely slow in the most painful way I could ever imagine.

Aren't they all just employees of Mcann Erickson now?
I know they are technically just a subsidiary, but I thought part of the deal was that Roger became president of SCDP

Because they aren't partners anymore. They're a subsidiary of McCann Erickson, with Roger as President.
Although, I didn't really understand it when Joan told Richard that she was a partner. Kind of how I didn't get the whole divorced-twice thing. You'd think that if she had been married prior to Dr. Greg the rapist, it would have come up at some point.

Joan still called herself a partner. And the structure of the company really hasn't changed much. Basically, Roger took Bert's spot. They should definitely need to have meetings.

Yeah, I was editing my post to reflect that when you replied. It had me scratching my head. McCann Erickson made Joan a millionaire for her partnership shares. Not too terribly bad for having screwed some fat slob one time.

I can't believe we've had a scene with Lou fricking Avery but no Cutler yet 
I'm hoping we get one more Duck scene before the series ends. I want to know what that crazy bastard is up to

I hope they fire that insecure bastard for neglecting his work to work on "Scout's Honor" while Hanna Barbera laughs his goofy arse out of their offices.

False. McCann only bought 51% of the company. The partners of old SCDP still own 49% of the company.
Posted on 4/20/15 at 8:47 am to LeonPhelps
I did the math when Roger announced the buyout offer for 51%. I forgot the exact number they valued the company at, but it was around $65M. 51% is $33.15M. So Joan's 5% netted her $1.66M, Pete's was $3.32M.
Keep in mind this was before the oil embargo in the 70's that led to huge spikes in oil causing the federal reserve to raise interest rates to double digits. So that $1.66M in 1969 is probably worth about $10M in today's money. Not a bad payday for whoring herself out for just one night.

And yet she still lives in that crappy apartment.

I also thought that was strange. But maybe she is going the Carson Palmer route and saving as much as possible for retirement.

Joan said she was married twice. Who was her other husband, other than the doctor?

will say that Weiner's son (Glenn Bishop) actually seems to have figured out this acting thing. That was the least terrible he's ever been.
I rank Glenn as one of the worst actors ever on a major tv series. Or he is actually a creeper in real life and in that case he nails the part.
Also the past 3 episodes have not had enough Cosgrove or Pete.

Holy shite Glenn turned into Greg Brady 
Posted on 4/20/15 at 10:10 am to Fewer Kilometers
Joan worked there for like 10 years before the show started. I'm sure there is plenty we don't know about her.
Posted on 4/20/15 at 10:24 am to Fewer Kilometers
Someone told me that she was married to a guy named Greg and that she mentioned it in season six. I can't verify that though becausebshebis se I don't have season six on bluray.

Also, examining the vending machine offerings, I had never heard of the "snik snak". Looks like it wasn't introduced until 1973:

Weiner is just getting lazy now.
