Logging In

I just watched the season finale of Mad Men and I'll have more to say about it soon.  For now, let's just look at the log line--the short description of the plot made available before the show is aired.

I've written about Mad Men's log lines before.  When you try to find out what will be going from one of creator Matthew Weiner's, you often go away with less informed than when you started.  But he outdid himself this time.  Here's the logline for the big season blowout:

In the Season 6 finale, Don has a problem.

Well, they got the season number right.  That's something.

For those of you not familiar with the show, Don is the lead character who, of course, has a problem every episode.  The whole show is about Don and his problems. Which made it possible, considering the log line, that this would be the first time ever he didn't have a problem.
