"Over your life, you will become many different people, and the journey from one person to another is one of discovery and excitement. But there are also moments and places where you'll long to return, memories you'll wish to fold up and place in a bag next to each other. And then someday, you'll find yourself no longer who you were, really, and that bag of what you wished to hold on to will be all you have left. And you, too, will head off into the unknown."Mad Men recaps are the best part of my Mondays. The A.V. Club's is usually very good; Slant Magazine's blog The House Next Door also puts out a good one, but usually a little later in the week. NYMag's is a crapshoot; this week it was just crap. I couldn't help myself and skimmed it before I had seen the episode and freaked out when I read the commentary (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!) about Don and Peggy beginning a romantic relationship. I think they were way off the mark and thank god for that. D/P sex would not only cheapen their friendship...it's also fucking weird.
Sidenote - stumbled on this Sad Don Draper meme before watching the episode tonight and as a result started cracking up when Don Draper burst into tears. Damn you internet. You have to admit this one is pretty damn amazing though.
