Well, at least he smiled at the end. I'm looking forward to reading all the psychoanalysis on the internet tomorrow so I can understand why I should like this sh***y ending.

Brilliant ending

Definitely a top 5 show for me. Did anyone else hear a "ding" noise when the hippie said "a new you"? I couldnt tell if there was just a bell off screen, or if it was a cheesy moment where Don realizes he can reinvent himself.
quote:Maybe. He DID have a shi*t eating grin on his face....
So Don goes back to McCann and writes the sappy Coke ad?
quote:
Don wasn't smiling because he found himself or finally got to start anew. Don was smiling because - on a hippie retreat, while in his "meditation" - he just came up with the Coke ad.
That's ******* genius.
Peggy saying "They'll take you back" wasn't an accident.
I will love this show forever.
quote:That is the single biggest commercial in advertising history. It's iconic.
Awful. What a wasted ending for Don. He wrote the hippie coke ad (that I remember being on TV)
Awful and so disappointing.

Yes, that's the way I saw it too.
He comes back to NYC, McCann takes him back, he uses his enlightenment with the flower children to write a touchy feely ad. He channels his own very real emotions into a moment of creativity that is designed to sell carbonated sugar water to millions.
Even his deepest moment of self-awareness is transformed into something to sell.
He's always selling. That's a great ending.
