Mad Men Finale: 10 Theories For How It Could End

Will Don Draper die?

Four episodes. That is all that€™s left of AMC€™s Mad Men. Just four more hours in the company of Don Draper, Roger Sterling et al. It isn€™t long. Hell, look at the €˜tache Roger is sporting this season - that deserves an hour to its own at least. Just four hours before we (possibly) find out what exactly the end game of the past seven seasons has been. It€™s not much, but it€™s plenty of time to theorise on how it€™s all going to play out. Arguably not since Lost has the Internet gone so theory crazy over a TV show, analysing every little detail and piece of dialogue, treating it as a sign of what€™s going to happen. Since its debut back in 2007, Mad Men has gone on to become one of these most watched, critically-acclaimed, and discussed shows on television. A book, a t-shirt, a drink - there€™s nothing these characters can€™t interact with that isn€™t viewed as pointing to their death, while elsewhere someone will counter stating the exact same thing means it€™s a sign that they won€™t die. After losing its collective sh*t over who the heck Bob Benson really was, and whether or not Megan Draper was really going to be a stand in for Sharon Tate and be murdered by the Manson Family, the big question now is how it all ends for Don. And also Peggy, Pete and everyone else, but mostly Don - this show begins and (presumably) ends with him. There are theories, and then there are theories€
