I hope that once Don returned to McCann one of his first actions was to find and rehire Meredith.

People do not change, they simply adapt.

Secretly, I was hoping for an ending set during the 1970 Christmas season. A zombie version of Lane Pryce, rotting flesh and all, enters McCann and before hacking all of the major characters to death with a rusty ax, wishes each one of them a Happy Christmas.

He was most likely the poor fellow that was hazed 24/7. Hell, even the fraternity house custodian hazed him. That's why he was the way he was for the first 6 1/2 seasons.

The season concludes with Nelson Rockefeller somehow getting custody of the Draper kids.

So, anybody have any ideas about what's going to happen next season?

Some additional spin-off pitches:

I see that you did not stay tuned through the credit roll. The scene with the Coke ad was not the final scene.

How can we forget his role in the Sport's Illustrated "free video" commercial.

I believe that the seed for the Coke ad started earlier, back with the motel owner's attachment to his old Coke machine in Oklahoma. Coke transcends brand loyalty, we all have an an attachment to the product that can be considered intimate.

You mean there are no more episodes???????

Duh, we all know the guy in the Members Only jacket created the Coke ad.

Is it just me, or did it seem that…

GO Dartmouth class of '56!

They grow up so fast. It seems like just yesterday when Pete was our favorite little asshole. Now, he's all grown up.

Succinctly put, you got it exactly.

And no Force ghost apparitions!

Well, it's over. Time for me to quit drinking and smoking Luckys.

The best things in life are free. They also happen to be the ones that can be leveraged to the greatest level.

As Stan said to Peggy, "Don is a survivor."
