> [@ISiddiqui](#): > > I, also, care. I think Mad Men is a very well done show. While I do love (LOVE) Breaking Bad, I think Mad Men has it beat. I enjoy the slow moving narrative, which to me make the payoffs more interesting (I also enjoy soccer, so consider that as well ;)) Though, I lack cable anymore, so I have bought the season from Amazon. > > I am as well annoyed that AMC seems to be doing this part 1 and part 2 of finale seasons.

Seasons 1-6 had 13 episodes each and season 7 is split into two seven episode seasons! So the payoff is … one episode. Not that exciting when you say it out loud. ---

So no commentary on the episode itself? Well, I won’t be the one to begin then. HOWEVER, I did find the multiple airplane rides and the parachute reference to be very suspicious in that, I can’t help if but wonder if it supports this amazing theory I heard last year about how Mad Men will end: > **[Where Don Draper ends, D.B. Cooper begins](https://medium.com/@lindseymgreen/where-don-draper-ends-d-b-cooper-begins-e96804523838)** > > Clues to the ending of ‘Mad Men’ have been embedded within the show since its very beginning ---
