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?"

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?

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.
― copter (waterface), Monday, 24 June 2013 02:52 (ten years ago) link
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?

is Pete *also* going out to California? darn thing moved so fast this week.
― piscesx, Monday, 24 June 2013 04:39 (ten years ago) link
We rewound when Ted said that. Before he comes in, Don's holding a paper and it's shaking. Then when he points to the bar to offer Ted a drink there's the MOST subtle movement, but they focus on Ted staring at his hand awkwardly.

can't believe they brought Duck back. man that was cold.

They didn't bring Duck back. They used Duck to potentially fill Don's vacancy.

No one is going to agree with me but this was by far the least interesting, most over the top season. The show has gone from soap opera to super saiyan soap opera. I have lost any semblance of giving a shit about these characters in any way, given that weiner enjoys batting them around like a cat with string. All the jokey "here's what happens in the finale" posts above are virtually indistinguishable from the actual plot. Manolo married Pete's mother then lost her at sea! Don punches a minister, quits drinking and is movin' to California with an aching in his heart! Megan quit her job and then walked out on Don when he predictably fucked her over! Peggy fucked her boss and then recovered from a confusing break up in ten minutes and something something women are making decisions mumble mumble! Joan, Roger and Bob are gonna be a circa 1968 Modern Family and Bob's carving!Pretending that all this has deeper meaning and shows a mind carefully cultivating complex characters just because there's excellent direction, occasionally fun character acting and period clothes/set dressing is beyond me at this point. And when I try to say "fuck it all in" and just enjoy the pure silliness of it all, I get hamstrung by sequences like Pete stroking his child's hair while Trudy looks on stern and lovingly. I don't mind it being nonsense. I don't mind it being weighty. When it does one or the other, I'm cool. But this show has its cake, eats it, wears it on its head and then black grandma steals the cake. I think I'm full.
