Somehow I thought we had one more episode for this half-season. I love how this season started up and worked - it was so refreshing to see Don working for something as opposed to just coasting and bossing people around - it did a lot for regaining sympathy for him with his head between his heels. I loved the way his relationship with Peggy has changed in all the years we’ve known them - it’s pretty amazing and staggering. If you’d told the Don of season 1 that he’d one day be answering to the girl who gets his coffee he’d have laughed you out of his office.
I have to say that with the exception of Sally, I could do without ever seeing the adventures of Betty and family for the rest of the series. No offence to those cast members involved, it just feels like such a wasted amount of time especially given that we’ve got so precious few episodes left. It really feels like everyone is getting a chance to shine - Roger visiting his daughter on a commune, co-workers going, literally, insane. The company coming into it’s own, and Joan finally getting the financial wealth she’s only ever dreamed of. It was actually sad to see Don and Megan’s relationship disintegrate and I wonder what they’ve got planned for him in the final eight when it comes to romance. I doubt they’d have him and Peggy hit the sheets, but stranger things have happened… Looking forward to the final episodes when it returns.
