Six Feet Under 4.12 - Untitled *SEASON FINALE*
Anyone else really excited about tonight's episode? I recently went to college, where I don't have HBO, so I'm going to have to get a tape of this somewhere... grrr.
I'm really interested in what's going to happen with David, Nate's research of Lisa's death, and Ruth and George. Claire's big-headed look at her own artwork is a little pathetic. I feel bad for her character. Yet another way for her to look past the emptiness of her life...

tonight's episode? Isn't it tomorrow night? I could be wrong, they may be doing something different for the season finale, but "SFU" normally airs on Sunday.
Don't you ever, EVER compare me to "Family Guy," you hear me Kyle? Compare me to "Family Guy" again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand!
Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like 'Family Guy,' right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of 'Family Guy' Cartman!" I AM NOTHING LIKE FAMILY GUY! WHEN I MAKE JOKES THEY ARE INHERENT TO A STORY! DEEP SITUATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL JOKES BASED ON WHAT IS RELEVANT AND HAS A POINT, NOT JUST ONE RANDOM INTERCHANGEABLE JOKE AFTER ANOTHER!

Well, disregard the thread until tomorrow...  |

Can't wait to see how this season ends for the Fishers.
Edit: Wow, Very intense, was it my Infocus 4805 or did the look of the show seem different, filmed differently perhaps?

Wow! What an ending to a strong season.
I couldn't believe Barb's husband's envolvement...but as soon as Nate was heading up there, I began wondering about a possible affair with Lisa. If Alan Ball decided to hang it up, I wouldn't complain. Not too many loose ends to tie up.

A lot of the camera work looked different to me as well. More video-like...mostly with the Clair/art-show sub-story. |

^It was intentionally. They were playing with the frame rate for Clair's scenes to play up the effects of the Cocaine - a very classy choice I thought.
All together I thought this was an AMAZING season finale.

Up until the final 20 minutes, I thought it was ho-hum, but then the fireworks came out.
At least they amped up the opening death, nice and gory.
Rico has to face the dissolution of his marriage, the price paid for him breaking the trust between him and Vanessa.
Claire and Billy get busy. She's turning into a serious druggie though. Her friends have been alienated by her new-found status as a "hot" artist.
Ruth has to deal with George, who is trapped in a bomb cellar both physically and mentally.
Nate gets to close the door on Lisa, though that closure exacted a high personal price in Lisa's family.
David faces his tormentor, and his father gives him the "get over your pathetic self" talk, perhaps David will heed the advice.

Was this the last episode of Six feet Under?
Closure was achieved with regard to some of the story lines (Lisa's death, Nate and Brenda, David and his tormentor, etc.), while others were left open-ended (George's psychosis, Claire's rise and inevitable fall, Claire's burgeoning love for Billy, etc.). I'm not sure what to think, but I wouldn't complain if this was how they chose to end the show. Understated, but poignant and powerful.
If, as has been widely speculated, Alan Ball leaves the show, doesn't SFU necessarily end? Maybe uncertainty over Ball's plans is why this episode was such a mixed bag, covering all the bases just in case.
In spite of some bumps along the way, Six Feet Under has remained one of the best written, acted, and actualized shows on television for the past 4+ years. I would hate to see it go.
