Mad Men : Season Finale Next Week

Mad Men has a way of lulling you to sleep and then bang doing something to shock you. Last night's episode was that. Lane's death is just one more piece of very heavy baggage for Don to carry. With his loss and Peggy's leaving the firm due to the way he treated her it seems clear that in Don's path is a lot of human wreckage.

Too bad Don, what we all really wonder is if this French girl can hurt him the way he hurts everyone else.

I cannot help it, I love Roger. His tone and wry sense of humor such as when he told Don, after a fierce sales presentation last night, to " wipe the blood off his mouth."

Roger's LSD trip, needling of Pete, his divorce and his dating of the hat check girl for the disappointing sex as he calls it makes him the indispensable character in this show.

We all look forward to next week's finale.
