Last Night's Mad Men
By
I imagine that there is some consternation of Peggy sleeping with Duck. Not in these parts--at least not yet. I need to see where all of this goes. I think there's a deep point they're making with Peggy's trysts, but one I can't articulate.
One thing I love about the show is that they've widened the lens of infidelity. Don is obviously profligate, but there's something stultifying (and likely dishonest) about these reveling in their conquest, while the women stew and take it. There are a lot of dudes on Mad Men. But, from Betty masturbating on a dryer to banging some dude she just met (after being told she was pregnant), I think the show does a decent job of not making women into objects who are simply acted upon.
But then, I'm not the one who will ultimately judge that.
