Six Feet Under

[Kid Presentable]

Just watched the whole series on DVD over the last few months. Pretty good, I liked that it became less like a miniature American Beauty and came into its own.

The ending of the last episode was fantastic.

[insertnamehere]

I'm working on it now, 4th season I think... it's been awhile since I've watched because they're someone else's DVDs.

Excellent show, I love it.

[DandyFop]

OMGGG what a great show. So much depth that you never think would be possible in a television show. The writing was always taking it in directions that I had never considered before, if that makes sense.

It was kinda weird because my boyfriend and I watched it from the beginning and had gotten to like the last 5 episodes when we broke up. Watching the last few was strange on my own but whatevs. I cried like a little baby at the last one because I want to go to NY, etc. and just...yeah. Good shit anyway.

[Tompz]

Absolutely love it. First class writing and really solid acting. Michael C Hall is nothing less than exceptional.

The last season finished over here a month or so ago, and it made me want to view it all from the start. It's a shame tv-links.co.uk suddenly deleted the whole first season because I can't handle downloading it.

Can i stream it from somewhere else please inform me.

Man, I love that show. I got so involved into it and everyone had a very interesting story behind them. Even David. I thought I'd totally get grossed out, eh, kinda did when him and Keith were playing tonsil hockey and shit but David and Keith were both cool guys.

And yeah, spectacular finish. It's the best finish HBO has ever pulled off. I'm so tired of these cliffhanger endings they do just in case they want to extend the series but, this finish let us know for sure that the series is over.

www.alluc.org (http://www.alluc.org) is where I watched them all

[Tompz]

Thanks man! Seems there's only one show left from season one for some reason though. I'll keep an eye on it for sure, maybe they'll add more.

[SB00774]

Great show, great storylines and acting. Loved the craziness. I missed the first couple of seasons, so if you ever find a good link to them I'd love to know about it.

[kll]

To this day, I can still cry when thinking of the ending of the last episode...

[cookiepuss]

oooh ohh! I'm a fan. I remember this series began just a year or two after my own father passed away. My mom and I could relate.

I have not seen the final season yet. I already know what happens but I've been meaning to rent it anyhow.

[abcdefz]

Welcome to 2002, I know, but I just dipped into this because of Michael C. Hall, and I've got to go with whatever at my library wasn't
all scratched to hell.

Good show. I like the whole cast. That one guy is way better in this than he was on Sports Night. I like the mom, and I really like
the daughter.

I've only seen three shows from season one and two from season two, but now I just slotted the rest of season two into my Netflix
queue.

For the first few episodes, I kept waiting for Michael C. Hall to kill somebody. Now, probably, when I watch Dexter in the future, I'll
keep waiting for him to kiss some guy.

He definitely plays them as different characters, and I like the way he loosens up his "straight" mannerisms when he's more in "gay" mode,
if that makes sense. That seems right for his character.

Not sure if I buy the mom with the Russian guy, but okay.

I swear I've seen the Brenda woman in something else, but I don't know what.

Always good to see Illeana Douglas, even if it's a cameo.

And Kathy Bates directs a whole bunch! I did not know that.

I'll take this over American Beauty any day.

[Randetica]

i like the theme music

[abcdefz]

Thomas Newman. He's from the Alfred Newman/Lionel Newman/Randy Newman (et al) clan.

[Randetica]

i never made it pass the opening cause they always played that show at a silly time and now i regret not watching it with every second of my life

[abcdefz]

Do you rent DVDs?

[Randetica]

only from family members

[AceFace]

To this day, I can still cry when thinking of the ending of the last episode...
same here girl, same here. absolutely amazing writing. the events in the last season were earth shattering! i won't say anything and give it away, but BOY will you be knocked down bye it.

6FU has a way of completely surprising you when you least expect it.

[abcdefz]

only from family members



...library?

Our libraries carry DVDs. The main library's are all scratched up, but some of the newer branch libraries still have 'em in good shape.

:( please, no.

im not really a library person (whatever that is)

[kll]

I can cry at a moment's notice just by thinking of the last episode of that show.

(y)

[gbsuey]

this is one of my all-time favourite shows but i never saw the last series. i'm sure it never got shown on channel 4 and i missed it on e4 when it was on cause i didn't have freeview then. i'm still waiting so all these references to the last episode are making me think i'd best go and get the dvd! i'd actually forgotten about it but now i'm gonna get on a mission.

[AceFace]

:( please, no.

gah. picky much?

[camo]

Freebaser would like me to post here. da daaahhh!

[abcdefz]

Now I have to avoid this thread so people don't spoil the last episode for me.

[abcdefz]

Shhesh. I kept wondering where I'd seen Freddy Rodriguez before.

He was in Bottle Shock, which I just saw, like, two weeks ago. :rolleyes:

I kept thinking of TV stuff and was placing him in Rescue Me or something.

[abcdefz]

Well, I finished season two.

Man -- Keith is really a prick. I don't like that guy.

Like the series, though.

The library has discs one and three of season three -- both pretty scratchy, but it's better than waiting until Netflix gets something
to me Wednesday. I think.

[Documad]

I swear I've seen the Brenda woman in something else, but I don't know what.

Hilary and Jackie? She was Hilary.


I never liked a single character in that show except for the black cop -- they were horrible human beings -- but I enjoyed the show.

[abcdefz]

Haven't seen Hillary and Jackie yet, but it's in my queue.

Yeah -- I've seen movies with her in them, but I don't remember her at all. I think the deja vu comes from the fact that every now and
then she has an expression that makes her kinda look like Helen Hunt, or at least, Helen Hunt's sister.

Maybe.

I like Claire and Freddy the most, then probably David, then Nate. I still don't know what I think about the mom. She tries so fucking
hard, and from her own worldview, I think her motives are usually really good, but...

[Documad]

I will be interested to hear what you think as you get into later seasons. It's always a little weird when you go through years of shows in a couple of weeks. I wonder whether the experience is different. I watched the first five seasons of Buffy that way. There was too much character development packed into one month of viewing with no time to mull it over!


I have been a big Jacqueline du pre fan for ages, and Hilary and Jackie made it difficult to listen to her music without thinking of scenes from the movie. It was an interesting movie, it just disturbed me.

There are probably advantages either way.

But it's a great point -- what "form" is a television series? Is waiting for weekly shows, then waiting for the next season, inherently
part of the experience?

Me: I like watching it all in one big gulp. It feels more like I'm in some huge, sprawling novel.

I've only heard a few of her things -- Dvorak's Cello Concerto not least of them. Definitely a talent gone too soon.

[abcdefz]

Hmmmm.... okay, so:


MINOR SPOILER



















Season Three starts with Nate dying on the operating table, then... what? Choosing another path in time so he could remain alive? What the hell?

Plus, I'm about halfway through season three and it doesn't seem like there was any real point to that. He could have just as easily just
gone through the operation and survived the first time.

The thing that makes me believe he really did die and then chose an alternative time continuum or whatever is because the title clearly
came up with his birth and death years, then came up again a few mintutes later and the death year faded away.

Again I say: what the hell? And, without spoiling anything, does there actually turn out to be a reason for this?
