This. Don is just going to transform again and live a quaint small town life in Kansas. He wants to be more important to actual PEOPLE rather than a business' portfolio.
the only thing I could see bringing him back to NY(and partly back to being 'Draper') is Sally letting him know about Betty

but then again, I dont think they love each other like that anymore. I dont think either has any regret they split up (even though they are in a good place with each other)

Hmm, I'd disagree. Really only the kid was shady.

I think Pete wants Trudy back, his family back more than anything else. He's seeking happiness in that.

Everyone there was trying to take advantage of him because of money. Forcing him to go to the party, implying that they took their time with his car etc.

There's a theory out there that Don comes up with buy the world a coke campaign in the finale


:ohhh:

Please be true.

Maybe Don heads back, takes care of his kids and becomes a freelance ad writer?

If they end with him doing an epic Coke campaign that would be special.

I'm not ready for this show to end. It's weird.. there's something about this show that just feels like it's more than something you just watch. It's like we grew up with the characters brehs, I'm gonna miss the shenanigans :mjcry:

Everything else seems like a step down after Sunday :mjcry:

In our April cover story, Jon Hamm told GQ's Brett Martin about the first time Matt Weiner described Mad Men's ending. "He just kind of had this idea. This image," Hamm explained. "I said, 'That's very poetic. All right. But now we've got to get there.' It's one thing to say we're going to end in Topeka, buthow are we going to get to Topeka?"

Mad Men being the bank vault of information that it is—Weiner is famously strict about the secrecy of the show's details—we assumed Hamm was bringing up Kansas metaphorically. "It takes a certain kind of homebody to hear the final moment of the most important character he may ever play and think ‘Topeka,'" Martin writes. But in last night's episode—the second to last episode ever—Don tells Sally in a phone conversation that he is… well, we'll let Don take it from here: "Well, I'm in Kansas right now. I'm going to take Route 35 and then over on 40, to 89, to the Grand Canyon." We looked at a map. This route takes him directly through… Topeka.


Which is to say: Jon Hamm gave away a major plot point of the season's penultimate episode. InJanuary. To a major media source. And nobody noticed.

I want that because Mad Men has always been a series about one man’s existential crises. Not much happens in Mad Men — a mower accident and a suicide being the most “action” we’ve had in seven seasons. This show is a character study, period. And though some viewers are frustrated at what they perceive to be a slow pace in these last seven episodes of the series, I think that’s missing the obvious: All episodes of Mad Men are slow, for the most part. Just because it’s coming to an end, just because we’re about to never see these characters again, doesn’t mean Weiner needs to race frantically toward closure. That’s just not the show. It’s why the penultimate episode had Don sitting in a room, reading. And waiting. It’s why it had him fixing a typewriter and thinking about what books to read and had him being asked to fix a Coke machine. There was no urgency to that episode because a character study doesn’t need urgency; it needs details. And often those are small details. They inform the whole.

This is why a lot of people don't get this show. They're wanting 5 deaths per episode on some Game of Thrones shyt. This is about life. It's much more centred on the dialogue and character development (life development basically).

Watching all the episodes on AMC, which are running through Sunday night.....Pete looks unbelievably young, before the losses and hairline issues have him looking quite aged in the last few seasons...

Duck Philips has always been an a$$hole, great moment with Roger introducing him to some dude....'Duck....Crab..Crab...Duck....' :dead:

:mjlol: at Roger and the Japanese in Season 4.... He was the originator of the meeting fukk up and emotional break down that Don succumbed to in Season 6.

'His wife is very ill....he's been drinking a lot'

Will there be a stream available Sunday night? I'd stay up and watch it live if so.
