that Don went back and worked for Joan and her new company did
the Coke ad.

If he went back to McCann Erickson,then Don will be Don again eventually.

I was disappointed he didn't go back for his kids, but he honored Betty's wishes while she was still alive,so good for Betty.

Joan and Peggy and Roger got good endings. Pete doesn't deserve success and an intact family.

When Stephanie left the compound with the car,I thought she might bring Megyn to help Don. I would have liked that.

Good finale, not a perfect ten.

I knew it had to end with a question about does Don finally get his act together or not?

The most annoying thing was the incredibly long commercials.
