The relationship between Stan and Ginsberg is kind of sweet actually. Also Stan and Peggy. But it does feel like they've dialled the obnoxiousness of that character back a lot over the last few seasons, but hey that happens as people progress through their 20s.

Yeah after the intro of the beard i was kind of wondering if it was even the same guy

Ditto x 100 for Ted Chaough.

Ted was only obnoxious when he was actively competing with Don though. Stan was actually an obnoxious person.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 13:09 (eleven years ago) link
Well yeah. Back then, people LIKED Don.
― Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 13:16 (eleven years ago) link
Dunno, Ted kinda looks like a dick.

Would totally watch a Norman Lear-type Stan & Ginsberg sit com.

Megan Draper is already dead

Alright, I'll play along. I don't have anything to really add to this Sixth Sense-type theory, but I'll ride the coaster until it turns out to be wrong (or right?).
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 16:43 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah. I feel if this was Lost I would totally buy it. For Mad Men, not so much, but it's a good theory, ie. backed up with arguments and facts.
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 16:45 (eleven years ago) link
Megan having already died could also be one explanation for Don being so 'off' this season
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
I've begun to think that having the show end with Don's death (or just a lot of deaths in general) would be a bit too Sopranos-esque for Weiner and co.
― Mr. Scarf Ace is Back (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
I still don't believe Tony died tbh
Maybe Don will wake up and it was ~all a dream~
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
what if WE'RE all dead and this is Weiner's way of letting us know?

Don "I'm having a lot of emotions too" Draper has been dead inside for a while
― Operation Gypsy Dildo (silby), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
Lol forks. Mind is blown
― Random ACRB.PNG Memories (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 16:48 (eleven years ago) link
well a bunch of other people besides Tony definitely died :)
but yr "all a dream" joke gets at why I don't think such a morbid ending is likely, it's too pat/predictable
― Mr. Scarf Ace is Back (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 16:49 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think Mad Men will go an ~all a dream~ route, but it's been such a low energy show since the beginning basically that whatever the final scene is next year will be a conversation piece.

Sally will stab Don with a pitchfork

last season should take place in 1982

It'll end with a present-day shot of Weiner saying to a TV executive, "So, that's the show. Whaddya think?"
The executive, played by Jon Hamm, says "Pass."
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Wednesday, 5 June 2013 17:27 (eleven years ago) link
says "Pass." "You're fired."
― Mr. Scarf Ace is Back (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
Otm up here Shakey :)
And I too think this is not the show for huge dramatic endings, but rather some underwhelming yet significant shifts. Which I applaud.

wow from all the "spoilers" i thought something actually interesting was going to happen in that last episode

It was a fucking great Roger Sterling episode to be fair.
― Matt DC, Friday, 7 June 2013 15:56 (eleven years ago) link
That's to be expected anytime John Slattery directs.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 7 June 2013 15:58 (eleven years ago) link
Kudos to Slattery that he didn't flinch from including a scene where he got punched in the balls xp

so if Megan is dead, all that hoo-ha with her on the couch with her co-star is.. what? if there'd been no scenes OF Megan these last few eps then i'd be all for this theory but..
― piscesx, Friday, 7 June 2013 16:12 (eleven years ago) link
Megan is the horse.
― Matt DC, Friday, 7 June 2013 16:14 (eleven years ago) link
i buy the idea that he dreamed his fling with Betty especially as Bets was back to being thin again and.. i dunno maybe she's *really* still fat. or something.
― piscesx, Friday, 7 June 2013 16:28 (eleven years ago) link
Wasn’t all that stuff on the couch the week before? If I’m understanding the theories correctly Megan is supposed to have died at some point after last weeks episode. Anyway, not buying it.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 7 June 2013 16:44 (eleven years ago) link
Love how Weiner has basically just made the world recreate "Paul is dead."
― Not Simone Choule (Eric H.), Friday, 7 June 2013 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
The idea is she died while he was on the trip. Fwiw I think he came back to the office w his suitcase, told dawn to get Megan on the phone then the episode ended.
― dan selzer, Friday, 7 June 2013 17:59 (eleven years ago) link
hmm. inconclusive.
