Did anybody happen to love that seemingly throw-away shot in this week's episode of Mad Men as much as I did? Megan quits advertising forever -- unthinkable! -- and as she leaves the building, the elevator doors close between her and Don. But there's no hint of Beethoven's Fifth. Instead, Don goes to catch another elevator, and as he looks into the opened doors, it's just the elevator shaft, the concrete and metal guts on display, looking about as soulless and empty as the work of Madison Avenue itself. Man, I love the writing on that show. And also how Harry Crane has just become a total goofball, a punchline in search of a joke. Anyhow, find a nice wrap-up of the episode here:
