New This Week

2015’s final seven “Mad Men” episodes were some of the series best. Spoilers ahead.

* Enough time will have passed since Bert Cooper’s demise to allow Roger Sterling to grow a sizeable mustache.

* And we’ll learn enough time has passed for Ted Chaough and Pete Campbell to have relocated back to New York following their adventures in California.

* Don Draper, richer than ever, will still be back on top at Sterling Cooper. The episode will begin with him coaching a hot blonde model to disrobe for a fur coat campaign.

* We will learn the former Megan Calvet’s marriage to Don is over, but Don is still living in the fabulous New York highrise apartment they once shared.

* We will learn also that Don has leapt back into promiscuity with two feet, indulging sex with women in public and/or outdoors. Don will meet a pretty, 40ish and troubled waitress.

* Sterling Cooper will remain firmly in the hands of former rival McCann Erickson, which bought 51 percent of SC because it coveted the agency’s Chevrolet account.

* Joan Harris will implore a client to accede to consumer demand and start producing cheaper pantyhose to compete with L’Eggs (which Hanes began marketing in 1969). Joan’s new bosses at McCann will prove less than helpful to her quest. An unwelcome joke will be made referencing the size of Joan’s mammoth breasts.

* Peggy Olson will witness Joan’s frustration and drink too much wine on a blind date with a good-looking lawyer.

* There will be a lot of time with Ken Cosgrove on Sunday as the account executive reconsiders his decision to end his literary career. He contemplates quitting Sterling Cooper to write a novel about an ad agency, but ends up doing something else.

* The hot blonde from Fox’s “Last Man on Earth” announced she would pursue a masters in psychology.

* Photographer Pima came on to both Peggy and Stan. (For somebody who doesn’t look like Joan, Peggy sure has attracted her share of suitors over the years.)

* An elevator-riding Sylvia Rosen pleasantly bid Don a good evening.

* Roger assigned Don to golf with Pete.

* Megan learned Roger is boning her mom.

* Don got a “date” with Diana the Waitress, confessed he was “ready” for her, then discovered he made her too happy.

* Harry Crane offered his help and his penis to Megan Draper.

* Don gave Megan a million dollars. The date on the check was May. 27, 1970.

* Amy Ferguson, who played Joan’s hot hippie babysitter, was also in “Inherent Vice,” also set in 1970.

* We learned Lou Avery is running Sterling Cooper West between visits to Hanna Barbara.

* We learned Don’s Manhattan penthouse was on the market for $85,000.

* Thirtysomething Joan Harris hooked up with St. Elsewhere’s Bruce Greenwood, 58.

* Don fired Peggy’s schlubby copywriter John Mathis.

* Glen Bishop joined the army and almost kissed Betty Francis.

* Don ignited a cigarette for one of Sally’s friends.

* Betty trashed her son’s toy machine gun.

* Don learned he’ll soon no longer be neighbor to Dr. and Mrs. Rosen.

* While waiting for his Cadillac repair, Don watched an episode of “The Flip Wilson Show” that originally aired Oct. 1, 1970.

* Max Gail’s character beat Don with a phone book in Alva, Okla., because a 1/8-Camanche maid took money intended for a kitchen.

* Drunk Duck Phillips got Pete a job with Learjet.

* Trudy Campbell was invited to move to Wichita.

* Henry told Betty she would be fine, just before he ripped the cigarettes from her hand.

* Betty skipped over denial, anger, bargaining and depression and went straight to acceptance.

Inspired by "Twin Peaks" but really more of a cross between “The Prisoner” and “Lost,” “Wayward Pines” The pilot was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, and it’s the best thing he’s helmed in a decade.

The big Shyamalan-y reveal comes with episode five. Because the series is based on novels, it's easy to discover what that reveal is. But don’t look. This is one of year’s best series.

Syfy’s six-hour miniseries “Ascension” tells the tale of hundreds of Americans who in 1963 were secretly cut off from humanity for a 100-year space-ark journey to a new planet their descendants would inhabit.

So the United States had the wherewithal to create and launch giant interstellar ship at the same time it was struggling with putting Gemini capsules into Earth orbit? And 1960s scientists found a habitable planet that a ship with 1960s propulsion technology could reach in 100 years? And a way to provide this ship with 100 years worth of fuel?

Leaving aside these improbables, the idea of a “generation ship” whose journey would last multiple lifetimes is an interesting one, but the soapy onboard characters and tired plotlines engineered by writer-producer Philip Levens (“Smallville,” “Knight Rider”) may leave viewers feeling like they’ve been watching this miniseries for 100 years.

If viewers can tough out the first two hours of nonsense, clichés and bad dialogue, they will be rewarded with quite an interesting twist. But I doubt many will find it worth their time and trouble.

The New York Times says:

... The main problem with “Ascension” is that its best feature — the promise of a succinct three-part story that ends — is something of a myth. There is already talk of making it a series. The opening installment is sharp over all but has squishy spots; that makes you wonder if the premise and the execution are up to the challenge of a series run. …

The Washington Post says:

... I’d be happy to watch a thoughtful, Ridley Scott-style drama about all this, but “Ascension” is unfortunately hidebound to its network’s soap-opera instincts. … The poor citizens of Ascension flew all this way and yet cannot escape the gravitational pull of Syfy’s tractor beam of the banal. …

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says:

... There are several intriguing concepts built into Syfy’s “Ascension”, but the execution is not quite up to snuff in the first episode and infuriating by the conclusion. …

The Boston Herald says:

... The direction, at times, has a jerky feel. The dialogue is riddled with cliches. The metaphor to society at large is heavy handed. The have-nots are, for example, “lower deck trash.”…
