What I'm Watching: Mad Men

Mad Men: Season 1, Episode 5 "Five G" (C)

I am quite unclear on what the hell is going on with Draper and his changed identity. I see no reason that the already intriguing and compelling character of Don Draper needs to have a shady past. This kind of eerie and mysterious element works well for the show, but this brother is just not an interesting character worth thinking more about. The short story plot is intriguing and well-delved into, much like a lot of the era-specific themes in this show.
