The Suitcase

I still remember watching this during the original airing and during one of the commercial brakes half-way through the episode and getting this feeling that I was watching something special.

This is probably the best episode of the series, although not a fan of season 4 overall.

This the highest peak of 'Mad Men', a little past the midway point of the series' seven season run. Plenty of great episodes lay ahead, but in a way only relevant to the Mad Men series, its downhill from here. Downhill on Mad Men still beats all other TV Drama series (including Matthews Weiner's warm up creation 'The Sopranos' which is as good as it was, ranks behind Mad Men).

The pinnacle of Television Drama is here. X marks the spot.

The Suitcase was an excellent episode, possibly one of the finest in the series. No, scratch that! THE best episode of the series to date. I am sure Mad Men fans will look back upon this episode as the best, or at least one of the best.

The Suitcase showcased Don Draper and Peggy Olson's relationship, one that is very rare to Don in his type of life. It showed how important they are to each other, and it showed both Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss at their finest acting, and their amazing chemistry really comes through. Their vulnerabilities that they are able to express to each other is rare to both. Both Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss have proved over time, this episode in particular, that they are the finest actors on the show, and it is about time that they get their due. The writing in this episode is masterful, and I am sure that upon next year's Emmys the episode will be on the list of nominees.

The Suitcase keeps adding on to an amazing fourth season that, if it keeps on this path, will probably stand as the show's best season. I feel like giving this episode a standing ovation, because it is not every day, or every year, that a Television episode this amazing hits the air waves.

The only episode of television I've ever rewatched immediately after finishing it.

This show is amazing. it doesn't need action to hook you. the suitcase is literally two people talking for an entire episode and it's one of the greatest achievements in television. Easily greater than ozymandias.
