Wow, you folks obsess too much over this show and miss the most important thing.
Alison Brie is amazingly effing hot.

In that case, we're so close to Don ending up in Texas.
Maybe he enrolls in college and rushes a fraternity at tu?
Why can't he end up at A&M?
In fact, maybe Don's last great triumph is to remove the bevel.

Bringing back the Kodak carousel might be the PERFECT way to end this. And if the series does, in fact, end with "American Pie," this guy deserves a raise...

I love this show, but part of me will be glad to have if gone if only so i don't have to read passages like this one in that Esquire article that have plagued it since about season 2:
"They care so little about who Don really is that they beat him in the face with a phonebook, injuring him with pages upon pages of the names and numbersthe identitiesof other people that they'll never bother to know, either."
Interesting take on the finale, though.
quote:It does seem like it would hurt like hell.
You beat people aith phone books because it hurts like hell but won't bruise badly or break any bones.
Basically it lets you beat the crap out of someone and avoid trouble....it is am old cop trick.

I don't know that Pete's new position is in the bag. He hasn't accepted yet or seen anything in writing. It would be typical Pete for this to blow up in his face. Remember GM? Plus, Duck is an unreliable drunk and if I were Pete, I wouldn't trust that everything had worked out until there was some money in my pocket.
quote:
That would be pretty cheap of Weiner to have such a heartfelt moment in the penultimate episode, that included so much screen time building up to Pete and Trudy getting back together, only to have the job get squandered and him jumping from the window. He wouldn't do that.
No chance in hell that happens. Pete is going to Wichita, reuniting with Trudy, and moving on.

But in the end, what will happen will be a complete 180 from anything we're discussing, and we'll all look like idiots come Sunday night.
quote:if Don has disappeared, Henry taking custody becomes much easier.
I read on one of the sites that step-father/custody laws were a lot different in the 1970's, so I don't know how easily they would just "go to Henry."

I like the idea of the show ending with Betty's funeral. As one of the blogs posted earlier in the thread alluded, Don could spend the night before flipping through old photos of her and the kids on the Kodak carousel.
And since I'm pretty sure we'll never see another epic Don Draper client presentation, wouldn't a eulogy be the next best thing? I could see Henry making some brief, politically correct remarks and then turning things over to Don for his thoughts on life, death, love, and priorities. And we'll all gather back here on Monday morning and at least one of us will swear it was the single best monologue ever delivered in the history of television.
