That's not a bad thing, exactly. It's going to be ****ing awesome to watch, and it will still operate as one of the supreme character studies in the history of television.
I just think this direction, if followed through, will cement Mad Men (and probably The Sopranos and Deadwood) ahead of it in terms of lasting artistic merit.

To me, the Sopranos tailed off, and Deadwood felt incomplete at the end. I think it definately has a chance to surpass those. I just started watching Mad Men so my opinion would be uninformed on that one.
