>the most sublte earth-shattering finale next to Sopranos
So why taint the episode with fucking happy endings for the other characters then?
>DUDE DRINKING AND CASUAL SEX AND WEED AND CIGARETTES: The Show LMAO
why does /tv/ think anyone but normies likes this show?

literally nothing happens in this show, just whiny faggots complaining and doing dumb shit
>>71636729
Yes but they can still "relate to it" because "hey they all smoke weed, have casual sex, and drink in excess like I do!"
>>71636779
Agreed.
Where is the action and tension found in great shows like Breaking Bad and GoT?
>>71636779
And this is the normie reaction right here
>nothing happens lmao its crap XD

Slow paced 48 minute long dramas on basic cable are not haute couture.
Despite what you and the other plebs have convinced yourself, AMC makes boring programs that make you think you're smart for watching them.

the finale was ok, would have been GOAT without
>peggy and stan randomly decide to declare love for each other
>that coca cola ad at the end
i'd have much preferred an ambiguous ending for don, where he is at peace in california with an uncertain future in advertising
>>71636872
It's a period piece about advertising in the 60s not a fucking Apatow flick
>>71637198
That Coke ad at the end was fucking genius.
The Peggy and Stan shit was dumb though. It was like watching some cheesy romcom.
>>71637198
>>that coca cola ad at the end
>literally the only thing that elevates the episode
Did you even understand the ending?
>>71637198
>i'd have much preferred an ambiguous ending for don, where he is at peace in california with an uncertain future in advertising
No, the actual ending was perfect. At the end of all the personal torment and suffering he goes through, he uses the "inner peace" and hippy bullshit to create his greatest ad. He remains a slick conman.
>>71637237
Yes and every 10 minutes in the show someone else maintains their functional alcoholism. So everyone in the 60's was a potsmoking sex-depraved functional alcoholic?
>the door closes again...and the light goes off
;_;
>>71637198
>Don comes back becasue hes a fucking AD man
>makes another homerun advertisment for the biggest company on the planet
Literally one of the greatest ending in tv history. Every lesser show wouldve ended on some shitty monologue of Don, but here...you just casually see what he brought back from California and what he left here forever.
>ywn have Jon Hamm's 10/10 looks
>>71637198
The ad in the context of Draper and the story is the most cynical statement the show couldve made.
>>71636968
Here's the collegiate apprentice's reaction: some time after season 3 the show was increasingly about the writing team's self-insert fantasies about societal transformations beginning in the1960s were driven primarily by the neurotic power fantasies of careerist women (((working))) on the metropolitan costs of the United States.
The show totally shit its panties when it started making phony efforts to associate the strife of the civil rights movement with the personal drama of a Peggy-centered story arc and was Sex In The City: Valium Overdose Edition by the end of that season.
Can't imagine why anybody stuck it out for two more.
>>71635888
I loved the finale, and even though I felt happy for Peggy and Stan, their love revelation felt really forced and "off".
I think the writers knew that people really had a lot of affection invested in these characters, and they wanted to leave most of them on high points. We all know that there really aren't any happy endings. Who knows how Pete handled family life away from the big city (although we want the Campbells to be ok). Who knows if Peggy & Stan's romance lasted. Probably not. Who knows if Don actually learned some long-term methods to find some peace and mental health, but we wanted him to.
It's not that these characters all lived happily ever after, but that [for the most part] we left them all closer to some healthier, longer-lasting form of happiness than they have had before. I think that's really great. All these good things still happening in the looming shadow of Sally, Bobby, and Gene losing their mother within the coming year.
>>71637455
>you just casually see what he brought back from California and what he left here forever.
Care to convey this with thoughts and ideas?
>>71637394
Don is the only alcoholic on the show and his substance abuse problems are hardly glorified. His philandering and drinking is part of his emotional damage.
I don't know why you keep bringing up weed. There are hardly any scenes with it. But yeah, a lot of people smoked weed in the sixties. And drank. Just like today. Try leaving your house once in a while.
This show is the farthest thing from being 'normie'. It's far too slow. Just because it has people drinking and beautiful people having sex doesn't mean it's easily accessible to the average viewer you fucking spastic.

By golly, you're prickly.
>>71635888
Don Fucking Draper suddenly finds happiness by....becoming a tree hugging faggot. I think Weiner wanted to buy the world a joke with this ending.
>>71637835
you realize that most all of the men in the show served in either WW2 or Korea?

This show literally could not get the ratings it did if it didn't rely heavily on DUDE BOOZE LMAO or DUDE WEED LMAO every other scene.
>>71637950
You realize that most alcoholics who served in Afghanistan and/or Iraq justify their alcoholism by saying "muh service"?

Watch some tv shows from the 50

Its amazing how casual drinking used to be on tv

>don milks another epiphany for an ad
how is this a satisfying ending? nothing changed, the cycle of don draper continues. if they'd cut that ad part, we could have believed that he'd find peace doing something else somewhere else

Most people don't change, anon.
There's nothing wrong with a static character. In this case it highlights a great flaw and tragic quality.
>>71638430
Same could be said about the cucks who get blackout drunk because they couldn't handle killing a few muzzies
>>71638454
Not an argument. I win.
>>71635888
what a shitty ending.
sorry im not over 40 to understand it.
then when someone actually did show me that "legendary" coke ad I laughed in their face.
you idiots will worship anything.
dear basedgod everything after don and betty broke up was pure hot garbage.
it felt like i continued to watch only to see who don slept with next.
what a waste of potential.
complete snorefest.
and thats coming from someone who loves Better Call Saul and hates TWD post-season 1

So a complete moron.
The only thing i felt it was poorly made and rushed was Betty getting cancer.
Seemed really out of nowhere.
>but she smoked a lot
Like everyone else in the show, and they didn't get cancer.
They could've hinted some times earlier, with her coughing, gasping and such.
>>71638499
the whole theme of the series practically is that the world changes, surely that means don can

Literally the most accurate explanation of Don's character. He fucks up and then keeps fucking up in the same way because whether he likes it or not fucking up in that way is just who he is. He's a corporate reptile.
It's not meant to be satisfying, it's meant to leave you with a melancholy.

There was like one weed episode

i know that's what they were going for, i just personally don't like that kind of ending. i'd have preferred either "don finally learns a lesson after all of his fuck up and changes" or "don dies". that's just personal preference tho
>>71639481
Nope, there's at least 5 episodes a season that feature someone smoking a weedajuana cigarette. Not to mention Stan always has a weed cigarette in his mouth in almost every scene he appears in for S7

Hiroshima should enforce flags on Australian posters site-wide so posts like these can't capture 90% of discussion from the easily baited goys of /tv/.
The glorious restoration of board culture on /tv/ will never be achieved unless we find a solution to the Australian question once and for all.
