6 things from the Mad Men TCA panel

I think all the really avid Man Men folks around here know that Weiner is usually super tight lipped about upcoming episodes. So there's not a lot of info at the link, but some little tidbits for the last half of the final season.

—While Weiner didn’t talk about what happens during the homestretch of the show, he did tease their tone. "The last seven episodes, each of them feels like the finale of the show," he said.

"I am extremely interested in what the audience thinks," he said. "I’m trying to delight them … not frustrate them. I don’t want them to walk away angry." This doesn’t mean there won’t be the equivalent of a fade-to-black ending, or a key character or characters meeting a grim fate. "I don’t want to pander to [fans], either," Weiner explained. "I know this sounds patronizing … but as the person telling the story, [sometimes] people need to be protected from they want to see. You just can’t give them everything they want. And sometimes audiences have to expect what they don’t want to see … Bad things happening can be good entertainment."
