The clues were there. I agree that the minor characters were strong and likable, too. I forgot to give a nod to Freddy Rumsen in Never an Say Goodbye. He'd surely be proud of Peggy, his "ballerina." I loved the part where Pete said "Good morning" to Trudy as he left after making his plea to her. I think Weiner easily could have extended the show for another 1-2 seasons, but it seems wiser to end it with people wanting more.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122952408610512684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-21915631240386655902015-06-15T21:33:45.120-04:002015-06-15T21:33:45.120-04:00When I watched the show live, I was a little disap...When I watched the show live, I was a little disappointed with it...especially the ending. But for a week afterwards, I thought about it a lot. For me personally, I like to think that Don went back to NY and created that Coke commercial and reigned at the top of the advertising world because of it. Vindicating himself after what seemed to be a lot of second guessing of himself in the final season. That's how I choose to think of Don beyond the finale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-5347078390466114802015-05-31T23:17:32.788-04:002015-05-31T23:17:32.788-04:00I didn't find it super satisfying.

I appreciate Joan forging ahead with her business and being successful but I just really, really wanted a happy romance with her. I actually kinda liked the scene with her doing coke. It was a spontaneous side of Joan we didn't see that much of. Trudy and Pete seem so farfetched...it's child of divorce wish fulfillment. And I'm still not sure that Don learned any lasting lessons.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003471825539460273noreply@blogger.com
