Professional and personal. If your life is entrenched in the workplace you may understand. On the finale of Mad Men everyone was making them but they were much more dramatic than mine. Pete gives in to fatherhood for a heavyweight account. Peggy gives up motherhood for her burgeoning career in advertising. Betty gives up on Don and intimacy with him to sustain her pride. And Don gives up intimacy with everyone to stay completely sane.
Oh man, at the end where Don gives his Kodak Carousel presentation, it was just too much. This poor man! And then when he imagines a hero’s welcome at home and doesn’t get it- did your heart break too? Or were you glad hoping that Don would just get it some time!?
This brilliantly written episode set the groundwork for an excellent 2nd season. I can’t wait until June 2008!
