<\/p>I have not had this feeling for two or three years. I don\u2019t have an episode of \u201cMad Men\u201d awaiting me. I didn\u2019t get into the show until a few years ago and slowly worked my way through the catalog. I watched the final episode of the most recent season earlier this week.\n

\"\"<\/a>Oh, since I\u2019m talking about something that has aired on television, you bet your bottom dollar I might \u201cspoil\u201d it. So if you think I need to write on your viewing schedule, stop reading now.<\/p>\n

I know a new season will come soon enough, but I can\u2019t stand the wait after Don Draper paused before answering the question \u201cAre you alone?\u201d while he sat in a bar with a drink during his wife\u2019s commercial shoot.<\/p>\n

Part of me wants him to say he\u2019s married because that would show emotional growth, but that would ruin all the fun unless he says he\u2019s married and hooks up with someone from the bar anyway. Part of me wants him to lie and be the old Don, the one Roger saw getting mad about business. Even though I know that is the likely scenario, I would be bummed because that\u2019s kind of what we expect.<\/p>\n

In short, I don\u2019t know what I want and really don\u2019t know what to expect. That\u2019s why I yelled at the TV when the credits started to roll. I usually had another set of DVDs, another season lined up on Netflix, but now I actually have to (shudder) wait until the Season 6 starts.<\/p>\n

I followed this season via Amazon\u2019s streaming video. I wanted the freedom of watching whenever I wanted, plus had some discount codes so didn\u2019t have to pay full price. Some friends asked me why I didn\u2019t just watch them OnDemand, which is another good option. I didn\u2019t want to have to rush to watch them before they disappeared from OnDemand, wanted the flexibility to watch on my computer and also just wanted to try out the service. I also didn\u2019t want to hog up DVR space.<\/p>\n

I might do it again for a drama like this where I will watch a bunch of episodes at a time, but I might also pass if I know the show will end up on Netflix eventually. That\u2019s how I watch \u201cLouie.\u201d I just started Season 2 since it just hit Netflix and won\u2019t watch the current season, most likely, until next summer. I don\u2019t mind waiting for shows I know I won\u2019t make room for in my weekly viewing.<\/p>\n

The reality, however, is that I could never wait for \u201cMad Men\u201d next season after the way they left us hanging. I\u2019m a sucker. Other thoughts on the season:<\/p>\n
