[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ending for Sally was the only one that I didn't like - she went from charting her own path and weaving out of her mother's iron thumb, to being tied down by having to leave school, give up her europe plans, take care of her brothers, etc., all at age 16 ... It makes Betty's final words to her in her letter even sadder, because he life may not be an adventure.  However, it does link to a few episodes ago when Don told Sally that she didn't understand the value of a dollar (when he wanted her to sell her field hockey equipment) - she certainly won't be a spoiled girl any longer.  This one stung for me because I am about Sally's age and my mother also died when I was late teens (a little older than Sally is) - I have a nice life, but my mother's death when I was young did change both my then immediate life and the direction of my life.

I think for Sally it's a temporary blip.  The boys will go off to live with the aunt and uncle, and Sally won't be needed to fill in for Betty any longer.  After Betty dies and the boys move, Sally will resume where she left off and go off and have a beautiful, adventurous life.

I was shouting "NO, JOAN!" when she did coke. I thought she was going to have a tragic end; I never should have lost faith in the awesomeness of Joan.  LOVED her ending!

I did not want Stan and Peggy to get together; that seems like a trite rom-com ending to me. (Stan running down the hall while Peggy is still on the phone. Really, Matt Weiner?)  I loved their friendship.  But Elizabeth Moss was *amazing* in that phone scene where Stan reveals his feelings.

I loved the goodbye scene with Peggy and Pete (including his being a bit tone-deaf when reminding Peggy, "I have a five-year-old").

Still processing Don's ending.  I wish the episode hadn't ended with that commercial.  It felt a bit cheap to wind up the series with an ad, although it's also a deeply cynical ending.[/quote]
