"Mad Men" returned last night for its final run of episodes, and naturally everyone took to Twitter to share their feelings in real-time, which included grief about Rachel's passing, excitement about an unexpected "My So Called Life" casting crossover, and a mixture of fear and delight and Roger Sterling's new mustache.
