So who did Don have sex with that inspired The Noid?

preparation h: avoid the 'roid

Don is frozen and comes back to life to eat at TGI Friday's

Don dying as a show ending = obvious copout imho hope its mote interesting than that

i think it will turn out he is his own hallucination

Entire series has been a hallucination extending from that first time Roger took acid.

Don was dock Ellis on the mound

show reboots and is told from the pov of creepy glen's lock of betty's hair

Vincent K is upbeat

"The finale is great. Matthew continues to raise it to an even higher level,
and people are going to be really surprised by the finale... "

Pete gets to have sexytime w/Rory again, yet avoids getting his ass kicked.

Roger starts dating Sally

Don has to die at the end, right? Continuity of work in New York is not an option (because it's not an ending) and Hawaii would be a cop out.

He could yet be arrested or fired, but I'm sure pretty much any other major character dying would have a bigger emotional impact. But they don't actually need to kill anyone off for the sake of drama, they've already gone down that road, and I kind of hope they don't.

Thank fuck no one jumps out of a window by the way.

So much shit to work round in the last season as well - Sharon Tate murder, Nixon inauguration, moon landing, Stonewall riots, last performance of the Beatles maybe, Roger Sterling at Woodstock definitely.

Is the finale 45mins too or double length?

None of that stuff really has to be addressed except for the moon landing. I know it's been said before, but the less Forrest Gump the better.

oops i guess woodstock might be a big deal too

Sally and Glen go to Woodstock, run into Mrs. Rosen and Don doing it again as The Dead play "Turn On Your Lovelight".

Meanwhile, Harry tries to get Jimi Hendrix to write a jingle for the Vega, mistakenly talks to Richie Havens instead. Gets firm 'no'.

side story: pete campbell goes to the bayou with bob benson and they learn to choogle

I'll have to wait a whole day, download the torrent and try to avoid this thread and the gazillion spoilers on twitter.

You guys, enjoy the season finale!

me too. feel like I have to avoid the whole internet tomorrow.

most excited i've been for an episode tonight, incredibly psyched.

Series ends with Don getting stomped to death while desperately seeking a speed-addled Sally at Altamont. Roger rides off with a Hells Angel babe. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" plays over the credits.

...or, Don narrowly survives his Altamont stomping. But in his next big pitch, to try to dissuade Quaker Oats from promoting militarism with Cap'n Crunch, he says, "Why are we fighting? Why?"

Roger and Don on a joint LSD trip would be a series peak.

Thanks a lot, TV Guide. YA THINK?!

Could be the description of any drama, really.

don drinking alcohol out of a coffee mug in the morning

saucy Sally!

"my calendar's full"

god another Dick flashback

can't we have more scenes of joan hanging out with bob benson instead

pete doesn't drive!

so does Roger know about Bob

I feel so sad for Pete

What Bob did was totally from the Draper playbook though

yeah that was classic
including that he totally promised pete he wouldn't do something like that

Family responsibilities encroach on the desires of the male

"It's not your fault, Birdy"

well

why is it whenever a TV or movie character shares autobiographical data he must break down? As if Dick Whitman hadn't spent his adult life creating a character who can handle these moments with aplomb?

Unless, of course, he purposely wanted to self-destruct. But what the hell for?

TV guide was right

why is it whenever a TV or movie character shares autobiographical data he must break down?

It's a painful part of his past. He didn't break down, tho, really.

Obviously, he couldn't take it anymore. My guess is he's about to tell Sally about his past.

I mean he got overwhelmed but that was no way a breakdown

i don't know why don did that! a couple weeks ago i thought don should just move to california, but how would they do that. it's hard to look forward to another season of his toxic behavior though

pete's mom/manolo story is enjoyably batshit

what would sally's reaction be to hearing don's whole story?

shrug, right?

Don would share a beer with her.

or he's gonna tell Megan
