The show is lacking subtlety these days.

It’s a short season, so the plot needed to start moving. And it did.

The episode had more than a few shining moments.

This isn’t really an episode review, or a multi-episode review, exactly.

And now we seem to have entered late Sopranos territory. But I didn’t like it as much.

Fine, I’m a little behind.

Mad Men closed out its fifth season with a hodgepodge of an episode that misfired in several significant ways.

There is one brilliant scene and several good ones in an episode that follows through on the tradition of second-to-last episodes containing a dramatic event.

The show’s most important female characters took center stage in what could turn out to be the pivotal episode of the series.
