Is on. I will be expecting a drop in Getbig traffic for the next hour.

Anyone watching this? Has Don lost it?
-
My prediction (and I haven't heard this anywhere else)...
The entire Mad Men series is a dream, had by Don, while unconscious after being knocked unconscious in that war bomb blast.
The whole show has been a dream, and he's about to wake up. Pieces of the dream are starting to overlap. Bert came back singing, hot ass Rachel made her cameo. All season, we are going to wonder about Don's mental health... then suddenly, we learn Don Draper never existed. He wake up and chooses not to switch dog tags with his dead companion after the blast.
He chooses to remain Dick. He goes back and lives out that life instead. Don Draper never exists. Viewer is hit with a shock he never sees coming. Boom.

I started to think this last season, but didn't want to think they'd go, "that route", but the fact you thought it too, leads me to believe that something of the sort may happen.

I don't get the whole show to tell you the truth.....I don't think they will go the dream route because people think that of all shows coming to an end.....they even had that theory when breaking bad was coming to an end....
as for the mustache, I agree it looks terrible...as did all mustaches of that era

You mean G.R.I.D. for the closest time period to Mad Men....however, its not close enough. Might see Don on the Soul Train line but that's it.. ;D

I was thinking they'd use the "Ken wanting to be a writer" route to say he made the thing up, or wrote the story, until the end when he got hired by Dow Chemical.
Or, back to the dream route. Don, after cracking up in that meeting, was institutionalized and everything since then has been a dream.

Don Draper, Maverick Ad Man, Dead at 88
Don Draper, a copywriter and creative director whose ideas were some of the most thought-provoking and talked-about of the decades between the Sixties and Nineties, died Tuesday at his son’s home in Hudson, N.Y. He was 88.
The cause was cardiac arrest, according to his son, Robert Draper, who was his father’s caretaker during the last decade of his life.
“One of the world’s most-loved, most-hated and most-misunderstood advertising geniuses,” is how Peggy Olson-Levitt, former Worldwide Chief Creative Officer of McCann-Erickson, and one of Draper’s many protégés, described him. “I’d call him an enigma shrouded in mystery wrapped in a paradigm, but if I did he’d say, ‘What the hell does that mean?’ Let’s just say he was complicated.”
Draper’s co-workers included AAF president Roger Sterling (deceased since 1982), Pete Campbell, chairman emeritus of the Omnicom Group, and Harry Crane, retired partner of the United Talent Agency. His students also included Stan Rizzo, creator of the “Hippie, Trippy, Dippy Daddy” syndicated comic strip, and celebrated screenwriter and director Michael Ginsberg, a former copywriter.
“Don drove me to be better, think harder and write better. He drove me crazy. And when I got crazy, I got famous,” said Ginsberg. “Don also taught me a character’s 'moral center' isn’t a solid core but an amorphous, gassy blob.”
Draper’s advertising work was memorable, hard to miss, and often polarizing. In the 1960s, he and a handful of advertising mavericks ushered in the “Big Idea” era of advertising. Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce created iconic campaigns for clients including Kodak, R.J. Reynolds, Hilton Hotels, Nabisco Foods, and Peter Pan.
In the 1970s, the agency (rebranded Draper-Campbell), created campaigns for Chrysler that had Ricardo Montalban memorably touting the Cordoba’s “rich, Corinthian leather.” They had the world singing, “There’s a fragrance and it’s here to stay and they call it Charlie.” And they reminded us that diehard Tareyton smokers, despite the Attorney General’s increasingly ominous claims, “would rather fight than switch."
“We made a lot of friends but pissed off a lot of people with our work back then,” Campbell said. “I think Don was happiest when he was pissing people off. It meant people noticed what we were doing.”
Draper-Campbell’s run ended in the early 1980s when it sold its interests to McCann-Erickson, which absorbed their clients and gradually retired the name. Campbell remained with the agency but Draper quit abruptly. “I refuse to be a name reduced to an initial reduced to a ghost and managed by idiots. So I quit.” So read his short-but-memorable companywide memo, announcing his decision.
Draper pursued other interests with typical relish and abandon. He briefly joined the car company of his friend John DeLorean as chief advertising officer before DMC met its infamous, untimely demise. He pursued commercial real estate interests with his fourth wife, Amanda, before their contentious divorce dissolved that business. He even briefly returned to his first career, as a furrier, opening a slew of high-end boutiques in major cities just as the fur business reached huge popularity in the late 1980s. Despite his success, Draper’s first love remained advertising.
“Dad made a fortune in the fur business but it bored him. When he saw the 'new' advertising being done in the late Eighties and early Nineties by shops like Fallon, Chiat/Day and Goodby, he wanted back in,” said Robert Draper. “There’s truth and edge to the best stuff they’re doing and he wanted to show the world he still had an edge.”
He abruptly sold the fur boutiques and launched Draper with a simple client-acquisition strategy: “Let’s pursue clients who refuse to be boring and who refuse to be ignored.”
The strategy worked, and Draper won numerous awards for brash, abrasive, and unforgettable campaigns for clients including Yugo, Seiko, Budweiser, Playtex, Sony and the Archdiocese of New York.
Draper was married and divorced five times. His daughter, socialite Sally Draper, and another son, Gene, predeceased him.
Little is known of Draper’s early years, other than that he grew up in meager circumstances on a farm in rural Illinois. He served in the Korean Conflict and moved to New York City in 1954.
His wit and willingness to provoke never left him. When asked to speak to a group of young creatives at a conference in 2000, he followed a famous direct-marketing expert, who told the crowd that 'the big idea' era of advertising is dead. The future would be all direct selling and personally crafted messages.”
Draper took the stage. “The best advice I can give you,” he told the young audience while pointing at the speaker who had preceded him, “is to forget everything that guy just told you.” Then he left.

I was about to say god damn thanks for spoiling this sunday final episode lol
It didn't spoil it. Was very interesting to read
-
I've never seen this show but maybe they will end it like Roseanne where it was just a story she wrote in her little writing den.
-
Where are they going with this? The cliffhanger from this past episode (how it starts) leads me to believe I was dead wrong. Was a great show. PIP
-
Don commits suicide by jumping out of a window, it is him you see falling to his death in the opening credits. It was there all along!
-

crap i missed the first ten minutes of last week's show. what was the cliffhanger?
-

TV and movies do what they want. Boardwalk Empire is a good example: the real Nucky Thompson lived to be a lot older than that.
-
crap i missed the first ten minutes of last week's show. what was the cliffhanger?
It shows him being pulled over (in the car he gave away) and the cop says, "did you think you'd get away with it, we've been looking g for you" or something like that. Then it cuts to where it starts, with his car breaking down. I was wonderING if he killed the kid or something. I could have misinterpreted it, as I was reading getbig, but it seemed to start at that flash forward to the traffic stop.
Had Don been black, the cop would've killed him (getbig related).
-
the ending so far is very anti-climatic, if they try to unties the entire series in one episode....it will be a horrid conclusion IMO
-
What I wanted to see happen was that Don and the hippie Kid that Don picked up would ride together for awhile, talk, get to know each other, Don would confess all his sins to the kid ina fatherly "dont be like me" kind of way...then when Don least expects it, the kid kills him for his money and car....and no one ever knows what happened to him
The final scene would show the kid, now cleaned up, with a nice haircut, clean shaven, and wearing a suit, introducing himself at a corporate interview, saying "good morning...I'm Don Draper".........
it would be a total 360
-
Not watched this yet. Any good?
-
I think Don was Frozen. He's been in a Lucid Dream...Anyone who seen the movie Vanilla Sky will know what I mean. I think the beginning credits of the building falling apart show this...Vanilla Sky was a very underrated movie because it was confusing. Man Men reminds of it in some ways...Don Draper is David Aames(Tom Cruise)

I thought for a minute he may have killed the kid or something when I saw he gave him the car at the end. I guess we'll find out Sunday.

Well, it would be a rip off of Banshee. Where a convict steals the identity of the guy who was going to be the Sheriff (this was because said would be sheriff was killed in a bar fight).

terrible finale. WTF.

-
For a show that portrayed a lot of testosterone, the finale was a bit effeminate. Don Draper should have went over to that crying person and slapped the shit out of him instead of hugging him.
Then the Coke commercial teaching the world to sing. What a fucked up way to end things.... ::)

Vox called the ending and nailed it...

Not at all...Don created the coke commerical. Only one of the greatest commercials of all time...The smile he had at the retreat was him thinking of the coke commercial. Don didn't change. He went back to McCann and made that World famous commercial. Don is not and will never be a hippy...An amazing ending.

Don Draper's commercial that helped push the Elite's One World Government/Agenda
-
There are bad endings to a show, terrible endings to a show, and there is now man men shitty endings :-\

This douche bag here is suppose to be the real Don Daper. Very creative dude who ripped off countless people's work...

Ending wasn't bad....just not dramatic like we thought....Don came up with the most Iconic commercial of all time due to his influence from the hippies....Don is Don....he actually made out better than most of the others....and he finally truly understood himself after hearing the other guy's story..I also think he was able to come up with the Coke commercial because he had finally stopped drinking while at the commune
-
i have never seen that coke commercial in my life
-
Thought it was a snooze fest 3/4 through the finale. The ending pulled it all together though...
-
I think the only question is whether Don changed when he went back to McCann Erickson...did he stay clean from alcohol and smoking, get healthy, and due to this, was able to be creatively fresh, stop banging chicks all over the place, and repair the relationships with his children, wife, co-workers, and ex-wife?..I would like to think he did and finally lived up to the name he had stolen.
or did he go back, create the Iconic ad and then continue in his old ways?.....maybe the Coke Ad was his last great hurrah in terms of ideas, and due to its huge success he was allowed to continue walking out of meetings, working his own hours, being drunk and sleping at work, and banging office secretaries and other people's wives.....
-
i have never seen that coke commercial in my life
That commercial is Iconic and I used to see it on TV all the time when I was 10, 11, 12 yrs old......I thnk it was voted the #1 comercial of all time
-
Thought it was a snooze fest 3/4 through the finale. The ending pulled it all together though...
I agree....3/4 of the way through I kept thinking , where is this going????????...........but the ending made sense......it seemed like he was reverting more and more into Dick Whitman and the Don character facade was crumbling until he righted himself with the help of the hippies
-

This is what my interpretation of the ending. It's kind of like Inception, where you make up your own ending. Way to be glass is half full.
