Six Feet Under Finale

I'll try not to really give away anything, but if you haven't seen it yet, you might want to skip this post. Anyway, after the big thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, I thought that the finale would really have to be pretty anticlimatic. Also, I didn't think this was a show that lent itself very well to the kind of wrapping up and closure that is typically done in a series finale, and I thought if they tried it, it wouldn't come off so well. But watching that episode last night, I think they did an excellent job. Particularly the last five to ten minutes, that was just brilliant. Really creative and moving. Seriously, I think someone needs to win an award for the end of that episode. As much as I hate it when a good show ends, I don't think that it can be done much better than they did it for this show. Anyone else see it? What did you think?

I only watched The Comeback once, so I didn't give it much of a chance, but I might try again sometime if I'm bored, but I didn't see anything in the episode I watched to make me think it was going to get any better.

Well, not anymore.

I probably would have felt just as complete if I missed everything except the final 10 minutes.

Yeah, that was pretty good there at the end. I need to watch that part again.

I enjoyed it and was happy that they ended with showing the main characters aging and their deaths. Apparently claire outlived them all to a ripe old age of 102 if I remember correctly. Nate was getting on my nerves before he died though. I wasn't sorry to see him go...and poo on him since Brenda's baby was okay afterall.

I loved SFU when I worked for the cable company and got HBO for free, but I missed the last two seasons. Maybe I'll catch them on DVD at some point in the future.

You should.
