Hey fellas - Mad Men is back.

Thoughts? It's kinda feeling like Wiener may be pushing this ever so gently down the path of a fairly happy ending for most parties, which surprises me a great deal.

I mean hell, Don's unlikely to ever really have an epiphany and become an upstanding family man, but really - that's probably not happy for Don. Honestly, he looks to be heading down the same path as Roger Sterling. He's avoiding a fair number of purely self-destructive tendencies at this point and has re-established himself as a critical part of the agency. His talent wouldn't have vanished so he'll likely occupy that corner suite for as long as he can keep from blowing himself out of the water.

At this point it just looks like Don's gonna Don. I still can't stand Peggy - uptight, militantly unhappy shrew is pretty much gonna be an uptight militantly unhappy shrew. Whatever.

I feel like this season is pretty much going to be an episode to episode 'wrapup' of various characters/storylines. Wiener has put too much thought/artistry into these characters to simply drop a bomb with a couple episodes left and walk away. Perhaps someone will fall out of that window still but I don't see it and frankly would be a little disappointed by it.
