The penultimate episode in ‘Game of Thrones’’ season four is very much cut from the same cloth as a fan-favorite from a couple years ago: season two’s ‘Blackwater.’

This week’s epic ‘Game of Thrones’ showed no mercy.

In the midseason finale: Don nearly gives in, Roger becomes a leader, and Peggy shines.

This week’s episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ is heavy, both in tone and in the surprising amount of content packed into the one hour they give us.

Each season, ‘Mad Men’ gives us at least one great Peggy/Don episode, and this week’s “The Strategy” is just that.
