i like how this season don's character is a complete 180 than the years before but i also dont like it cause i feel he's lost his bossness a little. he woulda never let peggy talk to him like that before but he lettin her get away wit shyt and megan gettin away with shyt. its odd sometimes.
and peggy still sour that don never got at her

Ya, the elevator thing went over my head.. I'm guessing it's foreshadowing for something that happens later???

scust at this fakkit pete. its always somethin to bytch about with him. he fukks the girl at that party, he cries. he fukks another mans wife and cant get her, he cries. dude takes his losses so damn hard... i mean you got the puzzy breh damn just fall back. i was thinkin this was about to be his moment where he finally starts becomin like (the old) don. this nikka hits once and done fukked around and fell in love just turrible. imma have to watch the whole series over sometime though, i'm just now really startin to understand how to watch it with this one. anybody know what the elevator scene meant though???

The elevator scene mos def has a meaning, I just havent figured it out yet..I'm gonna listen to this weeks Mad Men podcast (the same dudes that break down Breaking Bad) and see if they have any insight...

Matt Weiner keeps everything close to the vest and no leaks or spoilers have been coming out...He's post show "previews" are edited in a way that makes them useless..

I think the elevator scene might be a metaphor for Don's life/marriage going down. That's all I can think of. Unless we're all reaching.

Nah we ain't trippin, it def meant somethin. I think it meant the moment she went into that elevator was the moment don lost her forever and can't get her back even if he tries. His work slacked but workin with her was the happiest I ever seen him on the job. He as you always seemed to drudge through the work before. Soon as she left he went straight to the office and poured a glass and I had to wonder... Damn did we see him drink at work at all this season??? I really don't remember any moments. and as happy as HE'S been, she's more or less been miserable. There was no reason for her to make that big a secret out of goin back to actin. In that final sequence don and Peggy, everybody seemed to be unhappy except for her and I don't think its just cuz she gettin to act whoever that was walkin around her is gonna come out as her mistress

We can be reaching but nah everything in Mad Men has double/triple meaning. Notice how Megan went down the Elevator.. if i remember correctly, he hit the button to go down also but he saw that impending doom shyt. Like a warning. There's also that ominous feeling that Pete is gonna commit that at some point.
