"Let's go someplace darker"

I really love Mad Men.Are you a Mad Men fan? Add it to your Netflix queue and you will not be able to leave the couch!

My husband and I got into Mad Men a few months before Season 3 began. We started with the first two seasons on DVD and absolutely devoured them. We'd look at each other after each episode was over, look at the clock, sigh and say, "Ok, just one more."I'm a sucker for the attention to detail and the period pieces. The fashion? The gorgeous feminine dresses and sophisticated suits are what I would love for men and women to wear again.

My love for Mad Men could go on for days, but the episode last night? Stunning. Titled "The Suitcase," it went deep into the relationship of my two personal favorite characters, Don and Peggy.

There were, admittedly, many forgettable parts of this episode. But the writers found this evening where Don and Peggy just, for lack of better words, opened up to each other. They've always had an odd protective relationship with each other, but in this episode they each opened up about their pasts.

{Edited to add: Ok, a little behind but the "Suitcase" episode is definitely my favorite this season!}
