Mad Men (a show that has likely gone on a season too long as it is)
what
Mad Men is one of the few shows where it's later seasons are better than its earlier ones. The fifth was perfection, and the latest was still better than any other drama on TV (including Breaking Bad, imo).
And I reject Gilligan's interpretation of the finale. The only way it works is if it's Walt's dying fantasy.
Exactly. I can't understand how it was anything but Walt's dying fantasy. Otherwise, he got everything he wanted in the end, which wouldn't make any sense considering how the show had played out till that point.
