Before the past few weeks, I felt the same exact view of the opening titles. But with Don's rapid descent into Dante's Inferno, I began looking at the titles differently. I could be projecting but I thought I'd throw it out there.
That said, Weiner's a fan of ambiguity so it's possible that the series finale is as ambiguous as the series ender to The Soprano's.
