MAD MEN Finale Predictions? Let's hear them....

31. Eh, I think it was cheesy.

I like that Mad Men has existed inside the real universe. I've enjoyed seeing the characters interact with others in history without rewriting history.

To me, it was interesting that the firm worked on Nixon's campaign and that the neighbor volunteered for Kennedy. But I wouldn't have wanted Burt to be Nixon's running mate or for the neighbor to stop JFK's assassination (well, that would have been bad writing in addition to bad history).

To each their own, of course. To me, it wold be a more satisfying ending for Don to start another new life rather than going back to do the same thing again. But if he did go back, I would have preferred that the show not appropriate a specific piece of intellectual property.

*shrug* Oh, well. It's only a story. Maybe someday there will be another show where a fictional character creates Mad Men but gives it the ending I like.
