There will always be a cynical view of the Coca-Cola ad finale (http://www.tvinsider.com/article/1849/lettermans-departure-represents-the-end-of-the-talk-show-era/). But as Tim Goodman notes, "Look at it this way: To say that Don learns nothing from his road trip and his time in California and at Esalen is to ignore so many previous scenes that Weiner has shown where Don is very clearly breaking down and accepting change in himself, not just in the finale itself but the previous 13 episodes. And that can't be ignored."
