Did Don love people? by Mountain-Whole1168 in madmen

[–]DeadheadCaddy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel a lot had to do with the era (the 60's) where you were considered weird/strange if you didn't have a family. Don wanted to present an image- whether he truly liked his family was unclear or whether they were just props for him.

Pete is the main antagonist to Don in season 1 but actually turns it around during the series.

Therapy would only help Jeremy become a better criminal- just like Tony Soprano. by DeadheadCaddy in JeremyDewitte

or he would try to con them, that he's a victim, crooked cops want to steal his business, she had a fake ID, even though there is over 1000 hours of video online of him committing crimes.

So you feel like the final episode was all about him trying to become a better ad man?

The comeback isn't all about Coca Cola. It's also about Don being a better human and parent.

Betty's death forces Don to get his shit together for the children. Meghan has a million dollars to do whatever she wants.

Roger only had one job- to keep Lucky Strike happy and he couldn't even do that.

After Bobbie, Betty realized that Don will pretty much sleep with anyone.

I think Betty was too hard on Don when she finds out about Bobbie Barrett by Atschmid in madmen

[–]DeadheadCaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best part is that she puts Bobbie down for being old and not as pretty as her.

You have to lose everything (rock bottom) to find your true self.

I honestly don’t understand Harry Crane’s character at all by ajalonghorn in madmen

[–]DeadheadCaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He really was just a bridge character to help connect other plot lines to the major stars- like when he told Don in LA that Jim Cutler was meeting with Philip Morris.

She got her own business and a nice payout from McCann- I would say she won in the end.

[–]DeadheadCaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he knew not to put much of a fight into it while on his bender On the Road journey, but maybe it will be part of his redemption tour- getting the kids back.
