Don will pocket his 500,000, start a competing agency and steal their business

^ That's what I was wondering as well, I was squinting like hell to tell for sure.
For a moment I was sure that it would end with Pete hurling himself off a building, fulfilling the show's title animation.

Season 2's being repeated in the UK .. would it be stupid to start watching now? - should I definitely watch season 1 first?

^ That said, it seems like the writers forgot about the season finale until they were actually writing it. "Oh shit, we need a cliffhanger!!"

Joan and Roger are made for each other .. hopefully Joan's husband will be killed in Vietnam.

- I just want Joan and Roger to be happy.lukus_W
- I just want Joan.pillhead
- How do you figure Roger could ever be happy. He's just an older version of Don.CyBrain
- and pretty as Joan is, the woman is rather portly and expanding.CyBrain
- Joan is utterly amazing. She's more together that the majority of the characters combined.lukus_W

Don had the backing and clout of a major established agency for the majority of his career. Now he's vulnerable for the first time.

It reminds me a bit of Tales of the City.

he's not racist for the sake of being racist, he's harboring some bad blood and rightfully so, Japan was an unstoppable killing machine in WWII, they would have never surrendered and had they developed the bomb first, they wouldn't have thought twice about using it.
Plus he lost some close friends, so it's extremely personal.- the inability to separate an entire race of people from a govt. or groups is generally considered racism.monkeyshine
- is racism by strict definition. In fact the US is the only country to ever drop the bomb.CyBrain

I yawn for this series to end...

The thing is, casual racism is worse than unmistakable racism imo - because it's insipid.. it slips by unnoticed, and people feel far happier to accept it - so it becomes entrenched.
"he's not racist for the sake of being racist, he's harboring some bad blood and rightfully so, Japan was an unstoppable killing machine in WWII, they would have never surrendered and had they developed the bomb first, they wouldn't have thought twice about using it."
War is ugly and people die. It's unacceptable to place blame on a nation after the fact. The vast majority of people in any war, would rather not have participated.
You're making a really moot, simplistic point, which doesn't stand up to reason, imo. It's the kind of point my grandfather would make - he has an excuse.
I know I'm going on a bit - but really, these points of view aren't worth spreading.
- you don't have to place blame on a nation but you don't have to like them either._niko
- anyway whatever, it's his character we're talking about, not you or I._niko
- I totally agree - you don't need to like or dislike anyone until you've got to know them individually.lukus_W
- plus neither of us fought in WWII so we should both STFU. We can't talk for anyone who experienced it first hand._niko
- No, I disagree with you there. The fact I didn't fight in WWII doesn't mean I can't have an opinion.lukus_W
- we both have opinions about right and wrong but we can't judge Roger for feeling how he feels._niko
- we don't know what he saw or what he experienced to bring him to that point._niko
- No matter what he's feeling, judging a race by its government's actions is pure racism.CyBrain
