I still can't fathom why Don Draper fired Lane Pryce. [View all]

As much leeway has been shown Don could he not find something charitable to show Lane? Lane's suicide is all on Don. How fitting is it that Don ends up in Lane's office where he committed suicide!! Live with THAT, Don Draper. Live with that!!

And that tooth scene ... that is dental record proof that Don is Dick Whitman. Will that come back to haunt him?

And that scene where Don fantasizes(?) about killing that woman and, then shoving her body under his bed.
Wow. Was that metaphorical or what?

and ... I still miss Sal. After all these years. I still miss Sal. I wish they would bring back that character.

A lot of Don hate here. callous taoboy Apr 2015 #12

You are quite the conflator it appears. To state Don should not be "idolized" hardly equates to hate hlthe2b Apr 2015 #13
