Reaction to the Finale

After eight years the audience comes to end of a journey, or really a mis-journey, as Mad Men's final scenes do not suggest complete and utter happiness or conclusions that are stable by being earned or deserved, but on the contrary, happiness is flat lined with fake ambiguity and lessons not learned with just another day in the life of roads the characters have already been down before paving the way that what could of been meaningful connections in life, in which could of translated self awareness through artistic expression, is all shrugged off by the tail-chasing constant of cynical idealism and commercialism.

Either creator Matthew Weiner set out to prove that his audience is just as broken, out of touch, and non complacent as his characters, -and the period from which they derive, by having people respond with remarks like: I liked the ending, but I am not satisfied. or Mad Men could never have a satisfying ending, or I like it, but something doesn't sit with me right, or that the ending was in fact the epitome of happiness and open to interpretation, because the audience is determined to like Mad Men no matter what it's message is, as an iconic part of pop cultural Americana, making Weiner insidious by caring more about the reaction to the work than the work itself or Mr. Weiner is in fact the latest incarnate of Ayn Rand, where I find that promoting romantic realism and cynical idealism does not in fact help a society to become better, but rather offers an excuse to say,  'Do as I say, not as I do." in world where like Roger Sterling proclaims, "Nobody cares", because ultimately nothing means anything. So why did I read or watch these things again? It's an anti-inspiring message that could of been about change being the constant in what has often been coined, "a time of change", but instead said panders to the more depressing, the more things change, the more they stay the same and tells us the truth is that life is a pointless add in which almost no person can truly evolve or progress, which is odd or sadly ironic when one considers how many times the series alludes to more hopeful and socially positive attributing and/or self transforming work like Charles Dickens, Frank L. Baum, Nels Anderson, James Bond, James Hilton, and even Walt Disney, let alone both the promotion and warnings of technological advancement and a fantastic dance number about how the best things in life are free. I personally hope the first suggestion is more accurate and that perhaps Mad Men's ending lacks solidarity or justification in a boring cycle of narcissism for a better reason, because there could be a spin off that acts as a counter agent to cynical idealism, such as humanism or humanitarianism, ---and maybe in the form of Sally Draper...
