She is a stilted actress - and the character is boring so it's a great combo. And may I ask "What is with her teeth?" She's a pretty woman but the teeth look like she's been chewing beatle nuts!
I adore the show but she is nails on the black board. Sorry. I would love to see Don Draper become a widower very soon. Maybe a cross town bus would do the trick. Then, he will suffer and recover and become Don Draper again!! N'est pas?

I think she's a great addition. In some strange way she's one of the few sane people in the office, and it's clear she's not going to be ignored in her home life. I must disagree with the earlier comment about Don possibly becoming a decent husband. I thought he was horrible to her, and the only reason he came home early was to berate her. Yes, he's touchy-feely with her, but come on, she's stunning, and they're still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.

Bet she leaves Don this season, precipitating yet another identity crisis. She's climbed high, but she may shine a little too bright for Don. She's still young at heart while Don's brycream gets staler as the 60s get even more tumultuous. Just look at his reaction to the party. Won't be long before he's putting her feet to sleep.
The ironic thing is that Don is FINALLY seeming happy and contented. He even leaves work EARLY to tend to his sulking wife - something he almost never did with Betty (and why would he - yikes). I think Weiner is setting Don up for a fall - getting his own heart broken by a younger girl. Just when he's finally ready to be a decent husband, his new wife may decide that even that isn't enough for her.
That's the way I'd write this season, for what it's worth. I suspect the writers have something similar in mind. It's going to be fun to watch a character that can change so radically yet with a subtlety that's dramatic genius.
Imagine the Don that emerges from that divorce! And all around Megan and Don, the world is changing. Their relationship could be a powerful commentary on the generation gap and social revolution that defined the '60s.
Can't wait to see what this great team of writers and actors has for us next.
