Six Feet Under Finale

Post by OMNI »

Last weeks episode was horrid, and just when I think the show can't do anything stupider...


They go and do this and totally redeem themselves. Great episode, and the actors gave their best performances of the series.

The ending. At first I thought it was too much of a gimmick. But it was done very well,and the show has a great sense of closure.

Yea, great episode. I wondered how they would finish the story arcs and they did it well. The ending added complete closure. It's sad to see such a great show end, but at least it's going out on top.

Can't wait to cop season 4 this tuesday.

i was surprised how much closure was provided, even before the ending sequence. the only thing that was sort of left in doubt was that maybe maggie was pregnant...
other than that, most loose ends were tied.

maggie pregnant? I figured she was at the docs for a job. isnt that what she used to do?

This was the best series finale I have ever seen in any show. It left me with no questions.

frederico basically collapsed just like nathaniel samuel
tommorow never comes
yesterday never happened

She worked as an advertising and fashion photographer and photojournalist for nearly fifty years, creating several memorable covers for Washington Post magazine, W, and The Face. Claire often exhibited her work in New York and London art galleries and in a time when nearly everyone else in her field had turned to digital scanning and computer-driven imaging, she continued to use a silver-based photographic process.

How come it looked like Brenda was masterbating while she died? I also thought it was weird to have that scene with her obessed brother too.

My sentiments exactly. Shit was off the hook...but still really sad.

Anyone else hear Lyrics Born in the last scene in the house? Don't know if anyone cares, just thought it was kind of cool.

Great show, great finale.

Hey here comes the Brit...only 3 and a half months late. The finale of the series just aired here in the UK and I loved it. I thought that Nate's death episode couldnt be topped but all the actors and scriptwriters outdone themselves. The ending was really dope, havent been this sad about the end of a series since Quantum Leap.

And I agree with Phila. Lauren Ambrose was superb in this episode.

Yeah, I saw it late too for some reason and I cried so much that I thought I would puke. There was literally nothing left in me by the time the credits rolled.

Excellent, excellent finale. The way they should all be done.

The Face stopped being made about 2 years ago. Duurrr.

I thought that overall the series was great, but that ending was just too much. The make up was silly looking.

But yeah, this is the only non comedy show that I follow and its a real shame its finished. But better that than it go on for years and become shit I guess!

I was the same way! Even when I was trying to explain it to Tone (who doesn't watch the show), I was crying...NO show has ever made me feel like that...

i never watched this show.

my girl made me watch the finale, and this may have already been mentioned as i didn't read the thread, but what is the name of the song at the end?

where they're showing what happens in the future to them all...

that montage, along with the song, was epic. and i had never even watched it once...

with the old woman dying, and the younger girl just driving down the highway, with the song...

whew. quality...
