Peggy writing the coke ad didn't tie in other than she mentioned Coke to Don and she was typing away at the end.
My prediction from a few years ago was that Don would jump from a high rise building and the ending would be like the intro to all the episodes. Then a couple episodes ago he's looking out the window at the Empire State Building with the sound of wind and totally thought it was foreshadowing. I thought it would be smart if the ending was there the whole time in plain site, but maybe it was too obvious and drastic.
I like the ending better now that I understand it and think about it a little more. There is so much critical thinking behind every episode and that is one thing that made it so great, and at the same time you can take everything at face value and it is still good. It was my favourite show and I will miss it.

I always thought that too. Then when Don was in the office at McCann, he went over to the window that appeared to be loose and pushed on it, I thought here we go!
I hated the ending when I first watched it but after some reflection, it's grown on me. Gonna miss that show.
