I will not be convinced that you intended otherwise. Paul, I’m reading “BRA-vo” as a Joan Holloway pun and loving it. I will not be convinced that you intended otherwise.

Previously, it had been going through a stretch of Sopranos-like pretentiousness I was getting really fed up with. And they brought Joan back. Bra-vo.

After all, the essential elements driving the plot are corporate skull-duggery and a divorce. That's it. Who cares about whether or not Don and co. work for Sterling Cooper or Sterling Cooper Draper Price? And was the divorce really such a surprise? And yet, so well-written, and so compelling. It was a surprise to me when I took a step back and thought about what I had just seen that I enjoyed it so much. I loved this finale, but I also found myself asking why I should.
