I really liked that Vulture piece, too, particularly the part about the show not really being about history, that instead it's about about the mystery of personality. I actually used to try to recruit people by saying that it was just an outraaaageously well-made soap, but I think that's less true with each passing season.
I think this is one show that I would require basically no closure for. I kind of want Weiner to have them go out on a perfectly routine episode, turn out the lights, and the characters can just keep on going on with their lives somewhere, as reliably as the earth keeps spinning.
