Funny, I have done some creative writing and I find that I am always pushing my characters and sometimes even torturing them! That is how you get the great character development that elevates a story. As fans we want angst to get a good payoff but then when the angst hits it can be hard to take. We all want a HEA for our favorite characters but in most series that just isn't in the cards for everyone.

I really liked his quote. He respects the fans without pandering to them. I am really excited to see how Mad Men concludes now!
