“I saw his soul leave his body.”— Lane Pryce
The season five opener of “Mad Men” is often fondly remembered as the “Zou Bisou Bisou” episode, and it’s the perfect introduction to a strange new version of the show’s protagonist. When Lane Pryce tries to reenact Megan Draper’s unforgettable, incredibly public birthday gift to her husband, he offers Joan Holloway the perfect descriptor of this never-before-seen Don Draper: seeing him embarrassed in front of his colleagues was like bearing witness to a death of sorts, and only his spirit was able to move and fly off to some other space or time. Newly-married Don Draper was like nothing we’d ever seen, and we were all just as shocked and entertained as Pryce.
Hamm should have won for season 5 — but this season belonged to Christina Hendricks and Elisabeth Moss
