[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the Carousel reference?[/quote]

In the episode for the Kodak Carousel Don says the Wheel is a carousel that takes you round and round again until it takes you back to the place which you long to go again. And it's loaded with his personal pictures of him and Betty and the kids. [/quote]

Only one of the best Don Draper scenes in the whole series!

NP here. As I mentioned in the other Betty thread, I too really hope, and do think, that we'll see a scene win Don and Peggy again. I believe they are the two characters the show is most about, and they have such a deep and complex relationship, deeper than any of his lady lovers and even wives. I think it would be wrong not to show a "goodbye" scene between them (even if it's just a Don/Peggy knowing moment and not them actually saying "Goodbye").

I agree with 15:50 that having found some freedom, he will take, or at least take an implied bigger role with, his kids. I don't think he'll stay with McCann or even advertising. This is the closest he's come to being his true self since he was dating the blonde psych researcher doc, her name escapes me. I think with that he'll have some peace and his kids will be a part of that. [/quote]

They had this scene already - when she is studying in the kitchen and he rubs her back. THAT was their intimate, familiar, good bye scene. We've had it folks.[/quote]

Yes that is/was a great ending scene for Don and Betty (I found it very touching like PP, and reminiscent of their lives when they were very happy together), but I mean Don and Peggy. I think Don and Betty have a had a fairly typical husband-wife relationship, but Don and Peggy have had, in my opinion, the most complicated and interesting male-female relationship of the series. Betty is pretty much a supporting character, and Peggy is a lead character without question. I don't see how this series can end without a last scene between Don and [b]Peggy[/b]![/quote]
