I think something surprising about the show is how they managed to sustain a Betty plotline even though her life was far distant from all the other drama of the show. They didn't shoehorn her in by doing that typical tv shit of making her a secretary of SCP or something. It's like...to them, the interior life of a domestic housewife in the 1960s had just as much drama as office intrigue

Usually, in shows with a conflicted, ambivalent male lead, the female protagonists are so poorly written that with distance and reflection of course you would be abhorred by the abuse they're taking, but you wouldn't feel that way. You would feel more prone to his side. That's one thing which sets Mad Men apart from many shows: You see Bettys struggles as well, you can relate to her and she's not just a bitter device of plot delay.

[@Soltani88]

Calling someone conflicted and ambivalent is a little redundant wouldn't you say? Having said that, calling Don ambivalent doesn't really do him justice. While his desires from the world are unresolved, his philosophy of the world is relatively decided. Also, While Betty is a very well written charactor with personal struggles, I wouldn't say her struggles and how she relates to them speak very Kindly of her character.

[@JakeMXZero]

I'm not gonna lie, I totally sympathize with Betty for what Don put her through, but man she really bothered me with how she treated the kids, especially Sally.

I could never figure out why January Jones just couldn't be as good an actress anywhere else. I guess it's chemistry. These two just 'felt' real and natural. And it's the little things.

[@Vashthestampede967]

I'm suprised Don never said that he changed his name because he hated his father and family then joined the army. Then he left and went on. I mean he already told her that his father beat the hell out of him and had a terrible home life.

[@harrisonlong5092]

This moment grew even more complex as the series wore on. We have the luxury of hindsight, all that Don and Betty did after their divorce, so we examine it from the lens of knowing where it will lead. When it premiered, it was the culmination of every lie Don had told since the first episode (and before) and JH and JJ do a fine job of portraying just how much is on the line. It’s a masterclass in writing, acting, and storytelling.

@Baba Ganush I remember HSB. Interestingly enough, my girlfriend is closely related to the late Robert Prosky who was in the last couple seasons. I've definitely seen it, don't remember that much though. I'll see if it's available for streaming or whatever. It's your favorite, I'm glad, but no way it's gonna beat MM for me. We all have our reasons for why things connect with us and, for me, MM connected like no other show ever. Like I said, nothing even really comes close. My girlfriend's favorite is The Wire, which I would say is my number two...but there's a huge difference between one and two. I can't explain it. MM is just perfect. It's more like one long movie or a novel than a TV show. Never did ANYTHING corny, never had a bad season or even a less than perfect episode, and it ended exactly when it should have. Even episodes of The Sopranos were sometimes below par, but I can't think of one episode of Mad Men that wasn't perfectly done. And it absolutely had the best finale ever.

[@ph1265]

What I found most interesting was how anti-climactic this scene was (it is still a great scene though); by this point, the revelation of Don's past almost felt like it was just the trigger of the marriage that would inevitably end. At the beginning of the series, it felt like there was so much for them in the marriage to lose, but all of the distrust and betrayal along the way seemed to have reduced it to an empty shell. It's as if Don's past, despite him successfully hiding it, was still able to erode their lives from the inside out; the revelation of Don's past was just a formality. My guess is, even if they tried to mend it, there was nothing left to be saved. Instead of the revelation of Don's past being a damaging explosion, it just fizzled out like there was nothing left to actually be destroyed.

[@Diamond_tip]

I totally agree it just really annoyed me how he thought it was okay for him to just leave and go with that woman in his car while he had a whole family and wife at home.. she did that right thing

[@joecool9739]

Funny because from the very beginning the show actually lets you know that the marriage is an empty one Lets look at season 1...literally season 1 the very foundation of the entire series: -Don is never home -Don is inattentive -Don is withdrawn -Don is absent -Don is forgetful Don is late for a family photo session because he was out ××××ing his beatnik girlfriend while Betty and the kids waited at the office Don looks for excuses to not be around the house even when he has to be...like when he "picked up" Sally's birthday cake and never came back His own neighbors laughed because they knew he wouldnt come back...even though Betty thought he would The fact that his neighbors laugh actually lets you know that by the 1st season Don already has this reputation of not wanting to be in the house...Betty was just too blind to see it but even the neighbors saw it This is a running theme in the 1st season of the show...Betty being naive...even the psychologist Don hired for Betty tells Don that Betty has the mentality of a child The fact that the marriage falls apart is just due to Betty finally accepting what had been going on from the very beginning of the show...because from the beginning we see that there is nothing left in this marriage except for Betty's blindness and Don's fascade If youre blind you cant see a fascade...if you have a fascade you take advantage of blindness...it was the perfect ying and yang of failure

[@robertcosta6967]

Keith Smith Good point. Draper's worst fears were realized. If she found out his true identity, rural, farming, dirt poor... she would dump him. Getting caught turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. She then looked at him differently... like he didn't measure up. And then she didn't love him anymore. She turned out to be more of a fraud than him....

[@thegirlinquestion]

how is she more of a fraud than someone who literally steal's another man's identity? you really must call her a fraud because she fell out of love with someone who lied to her for years? are you serious? besides if you actually watch the show to the end it's clear Don and Betty will always love each other.

Two things about this scene: 1) I think the character we've come to know as Don Draper would have been savvy enough to put this in a safe deposit box, and 2) I think it's interesting that Betsy Draper is written as not being afraid to confront a stranger with a secret that could demolish his entire life.

[@JakeMXZero]

Yeah I actually thought the exact same thing when I watched it, I'd at least expect the key to be in his briefcase or something. Falling out of the robe was so contrived

[@Unownshipper]

I think it speaks to Don’s confidence in the rigidity of domestic roles in that era: that’s Don’s desk in his home office; that’s the place where only he goes. Betty holds sway over the kitchen, the bedroom, or the dining room, but not Don’s office; that’s what he believes. It’s sexist and patronizing, but a sign of the times. Plus, in a safe deposit box in a bank, they’re out of touch, out of reach. Don hated his past but he couldn’t stop reflecting on it. If he wanted the photos gone, he could’ve just burned them. Instead he kept them close by because he could never escape Dick Whitman.

He was too scared to commit to them because he was protecting them against his pain.

When you try to match witts with a woman you had better have a very good back up plan ,or two,there weak spot is money, lol like it or not

[@FrankCruzFilms]

Definitely think Betty had a right to know all of this but I don’t like when people invade privacy. I don’t agree with her snooping thru his stuff while he’s not there. It’s just a characteristic I find very off putting for a person to have.

Normally agree, but wouldn't you be checking pockets and drawers after being told that your partner was having an affair?

[@essiewoo]

if you suspect an affair you ar perfectly in your right to snoop, there is no other way of confirming suspicions

That's it? I thought she will find porn magazines or something like that
