Is there a link for that instrumental music playing at the montage in the final moments, and after the Coca Cola ad?

"I don't even know what to do with myself......because all I want to do is be with you...'

And Peggy's intro:

'well I don't think about you ever....except when.....'

I saw the appear in the door scene coming a mile away, thats rom/com 101 but I love these characters and they sold the hell out of those scenes and me.....

I'd like to do a slightly longer write up tomorrow, but I think some of you are taking the ending far too cynically.....Don finally broke down and broke through. If that girl didn't take him to the seminar, he was going to kill himself, one way or another....That call to Peggy was it....

7 seasons.

7 flawless seasons.


Im sorry wire but mad men just dethroned you.

I geniunely teared up twice in the finale.

Tuning into the start of a new season of mad men was like seeing a lifelong friend for the first time in a year. You instantly connected and felt you never left.

Even characters you didn't like you were happy to see do well. Because they weren't one dimensional plot devices. They were fully formed people with a million complexities. You felt their struggle and their pain.

The acting between hamm and jones for a simple line "birdie" was profound. They conveyed the entire life of their mistakes in their faces. It brought a tear to my eye because we the audience have been there with for everything.

Don finally breaking down his last wall as he listened to the invisible speech. Don, a man with the gift of speech, who could make an electronic device resonate with anyone emotionally. He could never articulate the emptiness he felt inside. Watching his head perk up during the mans speech was like one of his many clients reacting to his pitches. In that moment he knew he wasn't alone and he just let go of his pain. He cried and I cried too. Because 7 seasons with this man it was an emotional relief to see him not have an outburst at a momdnt of weakness, but truly let go.


10/10.


Goat show.

The one guaranteed theme I got from those last two scenes involved Don's ability to start over. All that turmoil and disturbances surrounding his past up until the present moment, :smugdraper:drop off that baggage.

I was a bit underwhelmed by the finale, only cause I set myself up for something much bigger. I wanted the show to go out with a bang and of course it didn't. It was just another really good episode of Mad Men. Not the best episode, not the worst episode. I didn't expect the "put a bow on it" ending that everyone major got but it was cool. It's still 1b to the Wire to me but I'm not mad at anyone who says this is the GOAT show. Gonna miss the hell out of this show, but unlike Breaking Bad, this show has crazy replay value and I can't wait to run through this series again and again.
