Another really good season for Mad Men, with a few absolutely great episodes. 

This show is exhausting. It's considered one of the two best shows on television by most people I know, and seemingly all critics, for good reason. It is often fucking masterful.

But it's shit like Don seeing his dead brother that I can't stand. Weiner seems to love his symbolism, and he's often less than subtle. Don has an ache from a rotten tooth, Don sees Adam Whitman, Don's tooth isn't what's rotten. I get it!

Anyway, that's from the finale, and the finale might be the worst episode of the season.
