The finale totally met my expectations, the problem is that I expected to be disappointed.

The ending was predicted, too.

I will say this, there's a certain poetry to Don's wife dying because she smoked too many cigarettes, and now apparently he's off to peddle Coke to give the world diabetes.
Evil mother****er. Maybe Sally will get fat. |

**** it. The series truly ended the moment the door magically shut on a waving Bert Cooper.

I haven't seen the actual end yet, but I'm loving this episode 48 minutes in. No issues or complaints at all.

I thought it was an excellent end to an excellent series.
Everyone's story was neatly wrapped up, although Sally Draper in the kitchen, like her mother, was a little disappointing because before her mother's diagnosis, her future was so promising (although it was foreshadowed by Don's speech to her before she got on the bus with her friends). And now I know who to blame for that horrible song growing up. |

Richard's an asshole. As I suspected. Don's personal acid trip. Nicely done Roger. Nice Finale overall. Last edited by eDave; 05-18-2015 at 12:20 AM.. |

It's been telegraphed for so long that I can see your point.
On the contrary, I thought that Richard was as honest as a man can be in that situation. He said earlier that he had a "plan", raised his kids, built companies and was ready to relax. Joan wasn't. At least he didn't lie and lead her on. Honesty always wins, IMO. Eh, Don's had several. Don is still Don. He didn't go home for Betty because he's Don. He didn't use his vast resources to leave the commune. He cried to Peggy, which made her realize she didn't want to be like Don (not that she ever really was like him). I loved the Chanting Bowl chime exactly when Don thought of the Coca-Cola ad, along with Joan and Richard doing "coke". While I think it could have been "different", I'm not sure if it could be more satisfying after "seven" seasons. |
