but then I couldn't figure out the significance of the airplane
Flight. Freedom. Escape. What Don always does - he takes off.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?
'Selfless'
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])

That makes sense and I was nowhere near it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
The airplane represents Don Draper's deep dark manpain that I am so completely over already. If he wants to leave, he should leave. The show can be about Peggy and her octoporn from now on.

That would be an interesting last two episodes - a fever dream of tentacle porn animated by the ghost of Satoshi Kon.

Oh right...I have to keep reminding myself that "the rest of the show" is really not that much show at all!

Talking about it with a friend we're speculating that Don goes back to McCann with one of the most famous ad lines ever for Coke: "It's the Real Thing." Ties in with Hobart giving Don the Coke account and the setup with the Coke machine in this last episode. And yes, historically McCann did that advertising campaign.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
No need to whitefont pure speculation, David!
Also: Cool theory, although I'm not convinced Don is going back. Still, the Coke Callbacks do imply that the writers will do something with them.

I would have liked to have seen Don roaming from town to town making minor mechanical repairs and reading novels, personally. ALthough giving his car to the kid was pretty good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Again, I would have been glad with this as the finale episode! I hope Wiener doesn't fuck it up next week.

Yep. But also, I just finished reading a Jack Reacher book, so the idea of a Don Draper version of that useful hobo life is right in the front of my brain.
