I’m maddened. MadMen’s Season 5 is over. Word of this season- ‘dirty’. Advertising, dirty business. Dirty dealings. Joan’s pimp-out, Lane’s bookkeeping. Dirty city. Zoobeezoo women, philandering men. Megan’s dirty double-cross.
Megan employed her pouty charm to get Don to marry her, then promote her. Tonight Don said, “You want to be somebody’s discovery, not somebody’s wife.” Yet, she begged. The screen test confirmed her transparent neediness. He lost respect, disappointed that she was not ashamed to use him. Her betrayed friend may have the last laugh. Oh, Matt Weiner. A season so evil. A finale so sweet. Peggy and Joan strong and triumphant in the end.
This photo tableau says it all. ByeBye, ZooBeeZoo. See ya next season.

Once again Matthew Creamer gets it right. The theme of the season revolved around the 3 women and their complicated work/personal conflicts reflecting the times. I missed the Sylvia Plath electroshock allusion. He didn’t think it was the friend at the bar. Will have to watch again. Either way, delicious.
