But even in getting Roger drunk and pretending he got hired, Don didn't look to someone else "save" him; however devious his actions were, they came from him alone, whereas Megan had to ask for help to get what she wanted. <br /><br />Also Don has never had the same artistic pretensions that Megan claims to have. He's never had any qualms about working in advertising and sleeping on a "bed made of money." Megan presented herself not only as strong and independent, but as an artiste, someone who wasn't a slave to the commercial world. Asking Don to helped her land the commercial shows she's not necessarily interested in being an artist, but a success. Not an actress, but a star.K.

Is it any coincidence that the two women in the bar resemble Betty and Megan? Does their appearance, along with those of Adam and Peggy, play into the "phantom" theme? I can't wait for Season Six, and for all of Don's "phantoms" (as well as Pete's and Peggy's) to come at us full-bore. Which of his two lives will end? Maybe both!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016253077154756564.post-23541041658141833422012-06-12T12:08:44.142-04:002012-06-12T12:08:44.142-04:00she may have tarnished her image in don;s eyes, bu...she may have tarnished her image in don;s eyes, but when he thinks back about how he got the job from roger at sterling cooper in the first place- getting Roger drunk and then just showing up the next day ? he may not feel so"holier than thou".

Megan's been struggling to break out being Don's wife the whole season, and now by taking the Beauty and the Beast gig she's not only betrayed any artistic credibility she may have had in Don's eyes, but she's handed her success totally over to him.<br /><br />She's played the strong, independent woman all season, and to an extent she is--at least in their interpersonal affairs--but now she's irrevocably tarnished her image with Don. And she'll pay for it.<br /><br />My recap:<br /><br />http://kclarkscorner.blogspot.com/2012/06/mad-men-season-5-ep-13-phantom.html<br /><br /><br />Do you do recaps for any other shows?K.
