For a series that is hailed as "the greatest show on television right now", I would have thought I would've gotten at least one response by now.
Alright, I'm giving this another go. Last night, I just finished watching season 1, episode 11 (I know, I'm slow, so slow); I believe it was "Indian Summer". I have to say, out of the fifteen episodes of the series I've seen thus far, (11 eps., first season, & past 4 weeks of the the third season) this was my favorite thus far. I'd rather not give too many details about what goes on, but it really took the plunge head-long into nearly everyone's character heading into the final two episodes of the season. After so much dalliance and air of branched storylines, it is finally piecing together quite nicely. The shroud around Don's past is seen both at the beginning and at the end of the episode; Roger Sterling's health woes from his extravagant lifestyle forces a few hands at the agency; Joan for once, seems genuinely capable of caring, Pete Campbell is still skulking around and kissing up to Don, while plotting against him still in some manner, and Peggy's "changes" are becoming more apparent, yet as to why is still not fully revealed to anyone at this point; not even she knows yet, but it makes sense to those keenly aware of what follows in the next season and the fractured relationship she shares with Pete.
