Is The Killing an ongoing story or does each season focus on a new murder or what?

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

In my view, Justified eclipsed Mad Men in 2013.

I just watched that final scene again. It's such a perfect scene. With one line of dialogue and a look, Don reveals more about himself to Sally than he ever has. Combined with the perfect use of the song Both Sides, Now, I never get tired of watching it.

I just wish AMC was smart enough to let that sink in with the song and the credits rather than busting in with promos for The Killing.

I'm thinking that maybe the way this show ends is Don moves to LA to marry Anna, the real Mrs. Draper.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Mad Men’ to Split Final Season Into Two Parts
By BILL CARTER
Published: September 17, 2013

AMC is having a hard time separating from its hit series. On Tuesday the network announced that instead of a final season of “Mad Men,” as was planned for next spring, the much-acclaimed series will divide in two, pushing off the finale for another year.

A day earlier, the network announced it would spin off a new series from its hit zombie show “The Walking Dead” and last week it made a deal to spin off a show from “Breaking Bad.”

In the case of “Mad Men,” AMC is following the strategy it took with “Breaking Bad” in dividing up a planned final season into two installments, but in this case it will be waiting a full year between seven-episode arcs. That means the final season is really two entirely separate ones, at least in terms of scheduling.

The first seven shows will be shown next spring under the title “The Beginning.” The second group will be shown in 2015 and will be called “The End of an Era."’ The show’s creator, Matthew Weiner, will shoot all the episodes in one production cycle, so in effect, AMC will simply be storing away the last seven episodes for a year.

The decision seems to underscore AMC’s concern about losing its two original blockbuster dramas within a year of each other. The network shattered almost every television precedent by developing and showing two prominent and highly successful television dramas over the same time span. “Breaking Bad” is ending in two weeks in a flurry of rapturous praise. “Mad Men” was scheduled to conclude next spring.

That would have left AMC with only “The Walking Dead” as a breakout hit. Its other current dramas, “Hell on Wheels” and this year’s “Low Winter Sun,” have not remotely approached the level of success that “Breaking Bad” or “Mad Men” did. AMC canceled “The Killing” (for a second time) earlier this month.

So the network will now get two more chances, instead of one, to try to introduce new shows using “Mad Men” as a springboard. But in doing so, it will ask more patience from the show’s fans. The one benefit is the addition of one episode beyond what had been originally planned.

In a statement, Mr. Weiner said, “We plan to take advantage of this chance to have a more elaborate story told in two parts, which can resonate a little bit longer in the minds of our audience.”

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Well that sucks. On the other hand, this prolongs the end of the show.

Sunday nights are gonna suck when both Breaking Bad & Mad Men are gone.

I actually go to Albuquerque to watch Breaking Bad.

Because I'm a fan.
