Out of the Blue

With mixed emotions I'm looking forward to the series finale of Mad Men tonight, as I'm sorry to see it go, but intrigued about how it will wrap up. My feelings are also mixed about the straight out denial of the hypothesis that Don Draper would turn out to be D.B. Cooper. This would have been pretty out there, to say the least, but it also would be pretty marvelous that a fan had it figured out so early on in the series.
