I like Megan too! I trust Don's choice of women because Don only goes after AMAZING women. (Except for that one secretary when he was REALLY drunk, but he felt horrible about that.) For the most part he doesn't like bimbos or young, high school girls. I even think Betty was pretty amazing too, until suburban life crushed that. Betty was a model, world-traveler, spoke Italian, etc.

I started out this season kind of hoping Megan would use and cheat on Don. I thought the role reversal would be interesting, but now I don't think that's Megan's character. Also they're exploring Don's dark and violent side. If Megan cheats on Don, I would be fearful for her life. I didn't realize how capable Don is of violence; he is scary and I'm not sure I like where this is going.

I think this is one of the best seasons so far. Things are speeding up and it captures how chaotic the late 60s felt.
