>it hasn't pulled me back in so far and it's almost over

Yea ... this was my problem with the first two. I understand this show and love it for the fact that it lacks fireworks, but it's ALWAYS been interesting. The first two eps this "season" were not, at all, interesting. Sunday's was extremely interesting, to me. And very well done. It was a vintage Mad Men ep and that's all I've really been hoping for for these final 7.
