I don't know about all of that, it probably depends on the person. I had to really force myself through the first season and I was only :ehh: on the second season, but from the third season forward I've fukked with this show heavy.


But SMH @ this clown Pete. How bad must that feel? You try to get "rough" and disrespect a dude about his wife and proceed to (deservedly) get smacked up. Then after that's broken up, you try to get disrespectful to an employee on some of that ol' "We pay your salary" bullshyt and get smacked up again. Serves that smug fukker right.

Pete. :wow:


Beth :to:


That dude Howard is foul for erasing his wife's head when ever it pleases him. This dude is Pete is clinically depressed. So, we can assume that when Beth gets really depressed she has an affair and her husband proceeds to wipe her brain? The thing I've noticed is that Meagan's mother has a grip on reality than anyone I've seen on the show.

Almost all the foriegn based characters on the show are like that, which is what I dig. They're not into the pandering of the American child emotions nonsense and deal with reality. Lane's wife tore Don down with the vigor only a blunt Brit could throw at you. I felt like I was watching Hell's Kitchen or an old episode of American Idol with Simon the way she left Don speechless.

Maybe not their most explosive finale but without doubt their best season to me.

I sorta liked that the finale was a little more laid back (or whatever) after the heaviness of the past two episodes (even with that shock deal). I mean I was dreading this shyt like who's getting it now :why:

Megan's mom is the classy slore we all want :sadbron:

Good points, but how does this explain why he chose Megan over Faye?

I think it WAS deeper than that.

He married Meagan on a whim at a very weak point in his life (after closing a chapter that was a main storyline for the previous seasons). He rushed into that marriage; it should've never happened.

Don may like fukking powerful, assertive, ambitious women, but that's not who he marries. He married Betty Draper...a useless model/actress(?) and then Meagan...a useless secretary with dreams of acting.

Rich powerful men are often threatened by powerful women, so I understand why Faye didn't work, even though I liked her.

Don's just a spoiled rich white guy at the top of the world, he doesn't know what he wants. Ironically, so is Pete. Pete's just a melodramatic lame while don is swagged out.
