Mad Men

The episode of Mad Men last night might've been the best tv I've seen in a long time. The jolt of the plane crash and it's ensuing inappropriate and unchecked jokes, Draper showing both a semi-compassionate side and a hard-ass one, the dude that plays Pete Campbell's awesome vacant performance as well as his family's bluetoothed Gatsby awkwardness. Great episode. Oh, and just for kicks they threw in some racism and a 5 year-old girl mixing drinks. After last year's mid-season stumble, looks like the show has recovered nicely.
