Mad Men: The Phantom (2012)
Not the most eventful season finale, but still great!
It was an outstanding season! The reason for its' success was, in many ways, thanks to a greater shift in focus from Don to the characters around him, because how much has happened to everyone and what kind of personal drama they're experiencing right now. I never tire of being surprised. Peggy, who went further, Pete, who has much more in common with the dissatisfied life of Roger, Lane and Joan (dear God, what a tragic storyline!), plus Betty, and Megan, and even Sally! How layered but in perfect balance. One thing worries me: how does Cooper spend his life? Bert is still like a mystery man to me. I hope he gets his own personal storyline or at least some background info in the next seasons.
As for the episode itself, this was probably the least eventful season finale in the series so far. But seeing how much tragedy has already befallen on our characters in the previous episode, I believe that providing us with a calmer conclusion to a season is not such a bad idea.
