DD,

I did like the episode before last too. It WAS the best of the season so far. I'll likely finish this season but unless it takes a turn for the better I might not tune in next season. I don't hate it, I just don't like it as much as I once did. It's getting dry for lack of a better word.

This is Season 6, there will be a final Season 7.

"Mad Men Season 5 proved to be the most polarizing in the show’s history to date (it even failed to snag a Golden Globe nod for Best TV Drama), but its themes of social, political and cultural upheaval – coupled with the emergence of modern domestic dissatisfaction – resonated with even the more critical viewers and fans.

Thus, anticipation remains high for the return of the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce staff, following the S5 finale – and its ominous conclusion - but proceeding what has been acknowledged as the penultimate season, before we learn Don Draper’s (Jon Hamm) ultimate fate in the seventh season."

The "social, political & cultural upheaval" backdrop during that time is one thing I like very much about the show.

"Don Draper's ultimate fate?" Hmmm sounds intriguing.

Great episode last night. I immediately noticed that Betty was no longer looking all bloated/fat which had been the case in recent memory. Once that was apparent, it was only a matter of time before her and Don hit the sack together once again.

She was only fat because January Jones was pregnant so the writers made the eating disorder storyline.

I WAS surprised at Peggy accidentally stabbing Abe. Ouch!!

Last night's really sucked in my opinion. My wife will no longer watch it. Don Draper is getting very weird as are some of the "Kids" who work there

Finally got around to watching Sunday's episode. Not a bad one. Love Joan's spunk and especially that it pisses off Pete so much. Never thought about it but got a chuckle when the Avon rep said to Joan & Peggy "Hippies don't wear make-up." Ah yes, all plain & natural look.

Background of the political atmosphere is always an authentic touch that adds to the feel of the time also.

The Draper hallucinations caught me off guard especially when I see Megan there. Seeing him face down in the pool was a surprise but confirmed what was going on. He obviously was doing more than smoking pot.

I would be surprised if Megan is really dead but who knows. They never did show her in the episode. Last reference to her was when Don asked his secretary to get a hold of his wife.

Finally caught it last night. Yea, good episode with Sally walking in on her "cheating" father being the shocker. Don is such an asshole. He seemed more embarrassed he was caught then even caring about the affect on his daughter. Oh, and he tells Sally he was just "comforting Sylvia?" Ha ha ha..yea, the old comforting a friend line. LMAO

Oh, and Peggy and the rat. Ewwww That's me. I'd be freaking out majorly. I'd move. LOL Tho, I doubt I'd proposition an ex boyfriend telling him "I'll make it worth your while" if he comes over and gets the rat. BUT I get her drift. LOL

I read something just a bit ago about Megan & Manson murder connection. The article said she was wearing a T-shirt that Sharon Tate wore? Not sure what they are talking about.
