Sometimes there are moments in our lives that push us in one direction subconsciously before we even realize what we are doing or why. Those are the moments of BIG CHANGE. Yet, we sometimes don't even recognize we're making decisions that will change our path. There is something deeper, that push, that we don't see until after all is said and done.
And that's what makes "Mad Men" on AMC such a great show. We get to see that push from the outside. And it's a story we believe.
In the season finale, I saw the ground shifting under all of the characters' feet and could feel the momentum through the television. And my heart raced a little bit. For some reason, I thought their BIG CHANGES and their adventure.....was mine. I felt it.
And that's what makes "Mad Men" one of the best slices of drama that's ever aired. And we're better off for it.
