Mad Men: Final Season

[edinatlanta]

Would nail that hart girl and her friends. Also congrats everyone! We've been watching the world's most convoluted melodrama. Yay.

11 more minutes until like a lame dog we get a bullet ending this ****.

 

[edinatlanta]

That was pathetic.

Well, I started watching the finale with low expectations and I was still disappointed.

 

[in stitches]

Wow. That couldn't have been worse. I mean on just about every level that was crap. The Peggy Stan bit was cute, but thats about it.

I dont think I could put MM in any kind of top list for TV series after that.

It was alright. I liked the smile at the end as he gets an idea for the coke commercial.

There wasn't enough time left for much more. Him dying stopped being a possibility a few episodes ago.

It was like waiting 71 minutes for something to happen and it never did. The closest I got to getting interested was when I thought maybe just maybe he might go back to nyc to be a dad to his kids and make up for being a crap dad/person and pick up after himself and all his messes...

Looks like the idea was just to show him stripped of his earthy things and starting fresh. Via a super cliché California hippy group. And his great awakening brought to you by the most awkward randon man hug after the most random refrigerator monologue of all time. Bravo. Super creative.

I interpreted the ending as him going back to New York. His experience in California being the inspiration for the coke commercial.

Serious question. Did the creators, writers and actors of MM really think that was a great ending? Im honestly curious.

Not how it appeared to me. But maybe I missed that. I thought it was the juxtaposition of what was happening back in NYC and what was happening with Don. But I was pretty fed up so I doubt I was giving the show the proper attention to pick up on it. : (

Who knows where he went, but wherever it was, he came up with that damn Coke commercial!

I think Peggy also said "you always come back" when she was on the phone with him. I could be wrong, but it ending with the commercial was what lead me to believe he went back.

I think this is right. As Stan said (or something like it), he's a survivor so stop worrying about him already. He got in touch with his feelings, almost had a meltdown, and came back again, just like he's done before. Only with some hippyshit inspiration.

 

[in stitches]

If that is what happened thats still a super lame ending in my book. It's almost a non ending. Idk. Whatever it was it was nothing great.

I thought the commune scenes were tedious ... until the Coke commercial. One last twist, and it might just be genius.

I can't say I loved the finale, but I admired it. I think.
