Now that you've been on the Internet for a few hours today, you've probably read about people who correctly predicted the ending of Mad Men. That's pretty impressive, considering the number of theories that have been floating around in recent weeks. Hell, even the cast wasn't sure for a while how the show would end, as Matthew Weiner at one point gave them a script with an alternate ending.
So, in the spirit of alternate endings, here's a roundup of tweets from fans who imagined a different finale. Some of their ideas are totally absurd, while others are more in line with AMC's past efforts or tied specifically to the show. Take a look:
Alternate ending to Mad Men with inspiration by @kristytipsenhttps://t.co/1W6ASuuiFp
— Clay Wendler (@ClayWendler) May 18, 2015 I was right! Don Draper jumps off the roof of the McCann building, lands on a couch and smokes a cigarette. Perfect ending. #MadMenFinale
— Kristen Schaal (@kristenschaaled) May 18, 2015 Alternate ending to Mad Men was Don, Leonard and a couple of those other guys starting the Eagles

— Andrew DeMillo (@ademillo) May 18, 2015 Sorry to see Mad Men end, but excited for the spin-off "Better Call Joan".
— David T. Jones (@adlandjones) May 18, 2015 What's next? Maybe a spinoff? Wichita Nights? Or…Joan Takes Manhattan? Or.. Peggy Girl On Fire. Or…Monsieur Roger de Montreal?
— Colin Quinn (@iamcolinquinn) May 18, 2015 Oh what could've been. Would have totally been onboard for a Joan and Peggy spin-off. #MadMen#HarrisOlsonpic.twitter.com/cGpcWkpFje
