Mad Men - Season 7 Episode 6: The Strategy
Don attempts to return to his advertising agency after being put on indefinite leave following a meltdown in the middle of a client meeting. Eventually, his status at the firm becomes the focus of a bitter power struggle between Roger and Jim, both of whom want to take Sterling Cooper & Partners in radically different directions. The highly anticipated series conclusion will, for the last time, follow the complex lives of Don, Peggy, Roger, Joan, Betty and Pete as their stories come to an end. It's the End of an Era.

It's interesting that Mad Men chose to focus on Bob Benson's plight with such an important even in LGBT history about to happen.

Mad Men, and this episode about would-be perfect moments, is better than perfect: it's human.

Tonight's was a Peggy-centric installment that delivered a rather heavy-handed take on male chauvinism circa the 1960s. Let's give the lack of subtlety a pass, given the era.

The episode had a pretty good mission statement already in Joan's conversation with Bob. Then Don touched Peggy's hand to start the dance.

Despite Joan's heroic paean to true love, "The Strategy" was a rough episode for women, a rude "Not-so-fast, ladies" for the characters who are presumed to inherit the Mad Men universe.

What a satisfying episode of Mad Men, with the kind of ad campaign drama the show does so beautifully. The relationship between Don and Peggy continues to fascinate, even if the slow-dance scene was a little forced.

"The Strategy" found its characters perhaps at their happiest. Not one member of the limited cast appeared even remotely flummoxed until Roger and Joan were brought back together over a mutual distaste for Harry Crane.

Moments like last night's final, unforgettable image of Don and Peggy dancing to Frank Sinatra's "My Way" that make all of Mad Men's ups and downs worth it.

This is the Mad Men I've been waiting to see.

This isn't just the new Burger Chef advertising angle that Peggy Olson had been searching for -- the strategy that gave last night's Mad Men its title. It's damn near a mission statement for the whole series, now entering its home stretch.
