Mad Men finally airs an episode that most of their fickle, impatient viewership could agree was “one of the good ones” (adding “about time”), filled with revealing character details and nicely shifting interpersonal dynamics and what happens? The Internet runs it through its decontextualization machine and reduces Jon Hamm’s Don Draper to a funny little puppet show meme for us all to play with. I don’t normally say this, Internet, but this week — you’re lame. And TV — I can hardly bring myself to say it — TV wins.
