So I recently finished Season 5 on DVD...

I love Kiernan more and more with every episode she's in I see. Not that I don't like the episodes without her, every character in that show is so wonderfully written and acted, I don't think I have ever disliked an episode... but I'm always happy when I see Kiernan.

So I watched "Commissions and Fees" the other night, the penultimate episode of Season 5, and I felt very depressed afterwards. No episode has had that impact on me before. It really got to me and made me feel sick to my stomach what happened to Lane. And it didn't help that they had to show his body hanging there. Eww. So though it was bed-time I decided to watch the next and last episode right afterwards, hoping to cheer me up. But it didn't really work. It seemed like everybody's unhappy. Not very uplifting.

So I decided to watch some interviews. First Kiernan's. Than also Jared's. I found myself trying to guess the answer to every question Kiernan was asked, and was at least kind of right every time. Now that made me feel better. And she seems to be a very smart girl, on top of being cute, pretty and a formidable actress.

She definitely adds to the show. Weiner did good in casting her. She has sime great co-stars to have as examples of great acting.

The scene where Betty and Don break the news of their pending divorce is one of the most heartbreaking scenes on the show, and she hit it out of the park.
