My goodness! Matthew Weiner & Co. are, as ever, on top on their game. Astonishingly, Mad Men's fifth season seems poised to continue the show's streak of each season surpassing the one that preceded it. I'm going to write something at length after next week's season finale. In the meantime, Grantland is the place to go for the best in Mad Men coverage. See: Molly Lambert's thoughtful recap piece, "Guilt and Aftermath.". And: Andy Greenwald's "The Alien Mystique: Megan Draper and the Upending of the Mad Men Universe."
R.I.P. Lane Pryce. We'll miss you, Jared Harris. Also, my show-geek t-shirt is now dated.
