Finished Season 5 for the first time…
Holy cow. Season 5 was a masterpiece and probably my favorite season so far (Seasons 3 & 4 are close seconds).
They finally signed Jaguar (probably all because Joan agreed to it). Also it was nuts that Joan went for the hookup BEFORE the pitch, that was a crazy twist. Now with Megan acting again, it’s clear Don will be going back to his old ways. Don will probably keep hallucinating his brother now. Betty was cruel to tell Sally about his first wife, also hope the Weight Watchers is going well for her. Sally and Glen are finally growing up. Peggy is probably killing it at the new firm. Ginsburg might be the new Don/Peggy protege (I know him from Superstore lol). Who knew Ken would be such a good writer? Megan’s surprise birthday performance was iconic. Pete getting involved with the train buddy’s wife. (Maybe with that new apartment he might see her more often?)
The LSD episode was probably the craziest episode so far. Roger taking it and changing his life, while you think Don left Megan and she got kidnapped/killed.
Just when I was starting to like Lane Pryce, very sad. (Cmon Don, you’ve made exceptions for other people but not him??). RIP.
Lane and Pete fighting in the office, Joan and Army-Boy breaking up while they bring out the accordion player, Kinsey joining the cult, the list goes on.
I’m forgetting so many memorable moments in the season, but can it get even better with two seasons to go?
Will there be a new intro? Will they keep doing 13-episode seasons? (The perfect length, btw) Will Season 6 live up to the hype?
Prediction: Don’s past will have to come to light, eventually. Do Don and Joan hookup? Do Don and Peggy hookup? Will Don rise to the top of the advertising world or will he crumble?
