At any rate, I've been rewatching the whole series again, and there was so much forethought put into this show. Weiner obviously had this thing written from beginning to end. It's kind of fun to notice things that didn't seem to serve any purpose at the time, but foreshadowed much later events. One of the best tv shows ever, really.

What killed me was that Coca-Cola was so prominently featured throughout the final season (and mentioned throughout the series), yet I couldn't put "Two and Two" together until the final scene, to which I said to myself "Of course!".
I truly believe that Weiner had the beginning and ending for Don's character mapped before shooting ever began. And as you mentioned, it's certainly of the best television series, ever, and for me, the finale was very satisfying.
