Mad Men - where will it end???

[OmahaBlueDog]

So the next-to-last season of "Mad Men" is upon us. I will not see it for about 8 months, as I don't watch until it comes out on Netflix, and I can read about the season on Wikipedia before I watch (hey -I hate surprises and suspense).

When last we left the SCDPers, Lane was dead; Joan was selling her body for a 5% stake in the firm; Megan was acting in Don's comercials; Roger was naked on an LSD trip; Pete was being a slime (no surprise -- although I think it's neat that he and the mistress are engaged IRL); and Burt, as usual, was doing next to nothing. Peggy was smart enough to leave, and I'm certain will come up with the phrase "Yu've Come a Long Way, Baby" for Virginia Slims.

Mad Men does about 1.5 years per season, so this should take us through the summer of love, through Tet and the loss of confidence in our involvement in Vietnam, and to the '68 election.

So this means that the last season will take us possibly as far as 1970, but maybe only into '69. How do you think Mad Men will end? What will be the final event of this long, strange trip down Madison Avenue?

1. I chose something you didn't think of because of how unpredictable it tends to be!

I wait and watch on Netflix (via DVDs) as well - between Mad men and Boardwalk Empire, we are on favorite recent series withdrawl!

2. I think it's going to be some combination of the above.

I'm also trying to guess -- in a chronological sense -- where it ends. Woodstock is one obvious choice, as it is not only a quintessentially 60's event, but a NY state event as well. In a thread a couple of years back on this topic, someone suggested that it would end with Don & Betty watching Neil Armstrong step onto the moon.

Hunter Thompson has a quote about Nixon's spirit, which he describes as, "...your fiancee's 16-year-old beer-drunk brother with his braided goatee and his whole life like a thundercloud out in front of him. " Whenever I see Sally Draper, I think of the bolded part of that quote. You know a storm is coming with Sally, and it's going to have thunder and lightning and softball sized hail and wind gusts of about 90. Somehow, some way she will figure into the finale.

3. these are hysterically funny. great show. I hope it can live up to good ending.

'69 is a great year to end it

5. Don rents a room at the Watergate Hotel in DC one day...

And all sorts of weird shit happens after that.
