Note Full spoilers for the Mad Men midseason premiere follow.
Mad Men’s final season premiere -- well, midseason premiere, to be technical -- was, like most of the show’s premieres, a catch up installment. We’ve taken one final (presumably) time jump forward, into 1970, as the show looks to be ending with a sneak peek into what the next decade will be, now that we’ve gone through all of the 1960s with Don Draper.
With his relationship with Megan truly over, Don is back to being Don – bedding a bevy of beauties. But there’s something more hollow than ever about it, and the nostalgia he has for Rachel is notable – as she was one of the big “Could have been” moments, as far as something more and the discovery that Rachel had tragically died was therefore a big gut punch for Don. Jon Hamm was terrific in the scene where he goes to visit Rachel’s family, as they sit Shiva. The look on his face, clearly on the verge of breaking down into tears, was incredibly impactful.
