Re: Mad Men (madmen) Season 5
Draper's back and I'm glad. Hopefully it means a lot less Megan next season. Don and Peggy running into each other was very nice and I love how her managing style is basically Draper 2.0.
Pete's story this season I saw as an extension of Don. Its basically the same feelings Don has had in the past and some of which are the same feelings that have been building up to that little eye glance and smirk at the end of the show. I forget the exact wording, but Pete going on about trying to put a band-aid on a large open wound was basically describing Don. He keeps going and doing things he thinks will satisfy him, but they only satisfy him in the short term (hence the fondness for new beginnings). Its clear he is alone because he fails to grasp other people's emotions much less empathize with them, which is pretty much illustrated whenever he is giving money away to someone.
Roger on LSD at the end had me cracking up.
