…Then Ted, at the controls of Pete's Lear jet, crashes it into the McCann building, the exploding fireball wipes out the entire firm, except for Don and Peggy, who are out celebrating their Clio.

You're probably right, but maybe it was Transcended Don who came back. Sitting in the Lotus position on a futon in his office, he tells McCann to give the Coke account to Peggy.

Peggy wrote the Coke Ad.
Obviously, there are many good arguments for Don being the author of the Coke ad, but here is my argument for Peggy.

The Firesign Theatre ruined the final scene of Mad Men for me. Thanks to them, I can no longer hear, "Om…Ommm…" without adding, "…Range…"

Re: Peggy's Happy Ending
I was watching some old episodes over the weekend, and I got to one from when Don and Megan were newly married. They were having a fight, and Megan said, "None of you people smile. All you do is smirk." That was a good observation on Megan's part.

Might be foreshadowing for next week's episode. Betty is in the hospital and Solozzo sends some men to kill her. Then Sally meets him in a restaurant and blows his head off.
Final scene of the series: The doorway of Sally's dorm room as Roger Sterling kisses her ring, saying, "Don Draper…"

Couldn't help but notice that Don is reading "The Godfather" in the motel room, a story about a family led by a "Don."

It's so hard to watch these last few episodes because I keep second-guessing everything. "Is that how his story ends? Is that her last scene?…"
Only thing to do is watch next week's episode, then start over again with season one.

Peggy is the only one who has a confrontation with McCann and wins. Hands down.
"I'll come to work when my office is ready!"
And, during the confrontation, she stays at the dying Sterling Cooper to the last. While she's there, Roger—symbolically, almost literally—pours all of the Sterling Cooper mojo into her.

First scene in Don's new top floor office, he looks out the window and rattles the frame a little.
That action looked a little bit like a trapped wild animal or prisoner rattling the bars of his cage.
It also looked like Don was discovering that it's possible to open the window. Foreshadowing? The silhouette on the

This is a good article, but I liked the movie better.

No, you don't get it. See, you're supposed to think the aliens are the monsters, but maybe it's really the humans who are the monsters!

"Ricky, did you take the trash out yet?"
"Mooommm! I told you I have to practice with my Tom Sawyer puppet!"
"For crying out loud, Ricky! You're thirty-eight years old!"

That joke's not funny because of the vehicular-manslaughter-killing-a-child bit.
Rear-ending a bagel truck with a BMW, you can get a punch line from that.

Disappointed that this movie sucks. I really liked the original.
One of the subtexts of the original was the question of which species is more of a "monster," the humans or the aliens? Maybe this film inadvertently illustrates that point even better.

Bill O'Reilly killed Baby Jesus?!?!!

Reading this review seven years later, I love this line: "…it's a wonder
that more films haven't borrowed the Blair Witch approach in the years
since."

A true golden age of music. These great musicians, if they were still available, could really help an artist like Bruno Mars by beating him to death with lead pipes in the alley behind the recording studio.
