Anyone watch Six Feet Under?

[Demelza]

I just love this show and feel ridiculous how attached I am to it and the characters. It is a real loss for me now that it''s over. Anyone else hooked? What did you think of the season finale?

 

[ame]

the only episode I saw, well part of one, was the last 20 minutes of the finale. I kind of like how they ended it. My husband was LIVID that it was on at all since Entourage was supposed to start right when the show was starting to end.

 

[Patty]

I watched it all 5 years. It was a great show. I really liked the finale but I had mixed feelings about them showing how everyone dies eventually. I felt like that part was too fast and too much to take in all at once.

I watched for the first season and part of the second. Recently, I''ve watched the whole fifth season on HBO on Demand. I love, love, love this show! I loved the finale. I thought it was done brilliantly.

 

[Morticia]

I only started watching it during the 4th and 5th season. I LOVED that show!

The last 4 episodes have had me crying like a baby. I'm sad to see it go.

I was totally hooked the first season, lost track of it midway through the second, and only got back into it this year.

I love how it started with a birth announcement, and thought the finale (and was it ever!) was fabulous!

One question, though...I got a little confused with what happened to Rico. Did he end up buying a funeral parlor of his own even though David decided not to sell Fisher & Sons?

Yes, he opened his own place.

I''m assuming he bought his own parlor since David (with the help of Keith) and Brenda bought him out. David then took control of the Fisher & Sons parlor, buying Brenda out. Brenda said that David and Keith could take their time paying her back since Nate had life insurace and she had money from her father...

Oooh, I wish I had HBO!!

I only get to see it when I visit my mother! The last one I saw was the one where Nathan died and I was shocked!! It''s weird to read the obituaries for the characters. Now I''m dying (excuse the pun!) to see the last 3 episodes!

 

[Demelza]

Thanks, Patty. That was interesting. I wonder who wrote those: the show''s writers? I agree that it was very difficult to take in the montage at the end. Disturbing and compelling at the same time. The last few episodes have been emotionally wrenching. I had a hard time going to sleep after watching the finale last night. Well, I guess I''m going to have to find another show to be totally hooked on. I was kind of liking Lost, but it''s no SFU.

 

[kaylagee]

I was hooked and loyal for the first two seasons, then left for France. I only saw bits and pieces when visiting here. I think they started playing the series in Europe a little while ago.

I''m kinda bummed to hear that, but I''m a fan of wrapping things up before they get stale. I get sad the same way when finishing novels. I''ll have to buy the dvd collection one day to fill in all the spaces.

Demelza, I''m sure there''s something in the works that''s as compelling!

Claire was my favorite!

 

[jaysonsmom]

I was never a regular follower, but watched some episodes here and there. I was shocked to see Brenda and Billy''s incestuous relationship a couple weeks ago.....are they full-blooded siblings? Someone please tell me they are step or at least half siblings.......

 

[Demelza]

That was a dream sequence. It didn''t really happen.
