roginHere, finally, watch me crosspost, even if it's just incoherent squeeing:
Ok, now that has to have been the best episode of Mad Men ever!
I'm still swooning with all the love I have for it!
I love the relationship Peggy and Don are having in this was like the ultimate Peggy/Don fest. I loved every little bit of it, the angry working together in the beginning. The Dinner. How drunk Don went on drunk Duck, how he slept on her lap, how he made the phonecall in the morning. And finally how in the end the door was this time left open.
The way he even admitted to feeling somewhat threatened by her youth in the beginning. The way he's the only one she can really be honest around without facing a cloud of judgement and how she's in turn becoming the one person who really knows Don.
This kind of relationship, a man and a woman having each other's back and being the closest of friends without romantic involvement, it might be one of my favourite constellations.
Mad Men is brilliant!

Date: 2010-09-06 08:43 pm (UTC)I lost the first two seasons in a harddrive crash, but now I feel that when this season is over I'll miss it so much that I'll have to watch it all over again.
Peggy and Don are fantastic. I love it that the person Don sees himself in the most from all the upstarts in his firm is the girl. I loved it how he feels slightly threatened by her but still she's the one he truly relies on.
And vice versa, they are both so guarded that they could never built that kind of trust with a lover. Since they are so convinced they can't really be themselves to be attractive. They can't start relationship without pitching themselves and the fact that they can be honest to each other almost makes it easier to lie to everyone else.
And lately it looked like him feeling threatened and her feeling overlooked might lead to that trust being broken, but instead they give us this Don/Peggy fest! *Loves*
(and yes, I thought that about the suitcase too :) )
