Matthew Weiner is “so pleased” with the Mad Men series finale — but it could’ve gone many, many different ways.
For example, it would’ve been quite different if the second half of the seventh season addressed Don’s lost flame Dr. Faye, early Sterling Cooper employee Sal (“What happened to him?”) or former client Lee Garner Jr., whom Roger sends a Christmas gift every year until he dies.
These are the bullet points of what’s titled as a “WISH LIST: Things We Want to Deal With Before the Series Ends,” which the showrunner reportedly revealed at a Writers Guild Foundation event in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
