> [@ShelliBean](#): > > Although I wouldn’t want to move people around now, having heard that the show will end years in the future from where they are now I thought it would be nice if the “today” version was a bustling agency like Draper Olsen, with Megan and Peggy in the role filled by Cooper in the beginning of the show. Old, know the tricks, not really in the day to day but there, just enjoying the legacy. I could see Don and Megan still working together many years after they’ve divorced and are both remarried. (Don would probably be the type to marry a ridiculously young woman and have kids in his sixties and seventies.) Most of the characters who have been written out I don’t care about (e.g. Duck) or even remember their names (e.g. “snobby beard guy with the black girlfriend who got fed up with him”) but I wonder if we’ll ever find out what happened to Sal Romano. They don’t have to bring him back, just mention in passing that he now directs commercials/has a drag act/has three kids with his wife/got arrested for stalking Davy Jones/whatever. ---

Yeah, I want to know more about Sal too. ---

> [@Jophiel](#): > > Kinsey will not be forgotten! I always the it would be funny to have him show up for a once scene cameo where Peggy’s interviewing him for a job. > [@ShelliBean](#): > > Although I wouldn’t want to move people around now, having heard that the show will end years in the future from where they are now I thought it would be nice if the “today” version was a bustling agency like Draper Olsen, with Megan and Peggy in the role filled by Cooper in the beginning of the show. Old, know the tricks, not really in the day to day but there, just enjoying the legacy. A sixtysomething Peggy shows up for work early, walking past a sign with the name “Olsen” prominently displayed. As she sits down at her desking drinking Startucks she starts to check her email, then get’s up to look out the window at something… …cue a shot of the World Trade Center towers standing proudly, yet ominously. Fade to black. ---

Fade to black. There was a movie that actually did something like that right? It’s not a movie about that event but that was the ending. ---
