No. Jesus, you jump to conclusions quick. I just know the system's got me by the short hairs.

I guess that means that the system has given me a Brazillian, as Mrs. dL is, in fact, expecting.

good advice. Spot on. The beers are a toonie a pop and no cover, so there will be lots of tipping.

Generally in Canada I try to respect the local customs and not be a loudmouthed american type, boc I am an honourary citizen of the town in question, so i should be okay.

I am amused by the use of the word "many", given that I thought Not Bob and I were the only two who knew this song. To find there is literature critiquing it is even more troubling. Was this an American Studies Thesis at some third tier school?

Why would you think you and NotBob were the only ones who knew this song?

I think it was Anthony, because it showed Durrell learning from David about being a mortician in the montage, and then later at Ruth's funeral, has one of the boys (I think) standing with David sort of in the role as funeral director, which I suppose was meant to indicate that Durrell went into the family business.

What confused me was the showing of (who I guess is) Anthony at Ruth's funeral next to Keith -- who didn't look any older.

I didn't get that (Nate's whisper to Claire). It was a fantastic finale. I am still thinking about it days later. The ending montage was so well done, and such a good idea.

fyi, it is bar none the #1 top worldwide most favorite song of drag queens. I am surprised you did not realize its popularity.

Avoid any mention of having fucked the bride if at all possible. Other than that, I am reminded of the old saying about what makes for a great sermon: Strong beginning, strong finish, as few words as possible in between.

Listen, I'm just saying that there was no need to get the police all involved. The running away was probably triggered by a fight with her parents about her 24 yo deadbeat actor boyfriend. All she had to do was say hey mom and dad, I'm going to live with Ashton. K?

Thereby perpetuating the Fisher and Son's name, which I think was part of the point of highlighting the new sign after David and Keith went all South beach on the house.

You seem to be assuming that this 16 year old kid's celebrity somehow accellerates her maturation instead of (like everyone else in this town) regressing the process.

Six Feet Under
 

Yes, I'm still thinking about it too, partially because I rewatch a few minutes of it each night.

The montage was fantastic, perfect, really moving. The scenes and the music worked so perfectly together.

I really liked the way Claire became the focal point at the end - and that she did appear to hold on to hope as long as she possibly could. Also, it's really a testament to the writers that the storylines did not wrap up too exceedingly neatly -- with one exception: I thought David's recovery from his unbearable grief and trauma was too quick and the dream where he hugs the demon that is he was a trifle cheesy. That said, it's clear that he was in treatment and on meds and so it's not entirely ludicrous that he had a breakthrough moment. On the other hand, I thought Brenda's dream about the two Nates was an excellent device for showing her progress toward forgiving herself, and her peace didn't appear to come about too quickly at all.

The finale totally redeemed the series, which at many times last season and this one left me cold, PNEU.

My job was really easily. She is the one who has to actually build a kid.

While it didn't come quickly, I thought that it was all too abrupt. I didn't really get how demon "the kid sucks" Nate morphed so quickly into "I love this kid" Nate.

Thank you, NotBob -- you remind me of a celebrity sighting that I forgot to mention.

Kate Winslet was in my grocery store (in CT -- the middle of nowhere -- WTF was she doing there?!!? My neighborhood better not turn into some famous-people getaway.) Anyway, she's not fat. She's taller than I would have expected, and she's not skinny -- but definitely not fat. Not even full-figured.

Six Feet Under
 

Because Nate wasn't Nate, he was Brenda's conjuring of Nate. I took the dream to mean that she forgave him for being such a dick throughout her pregnancy and faced her longstanding doubts about whether she would be a good mother. Since the baby was doing pretty well and she had resolved things with Ruth and brought Maya home, it was time.

Six Feet Under
 

I didn't have a problem with that. She realised that Nate would have loved their child regardless. In fact, the whole "this kid sucks" Nate was really only just in her head.

My sister has run into Greg Brady and Richard Gere multiple times in her small CT town. ITs good for your real estate values. Well,maybe notthe Greg Brady part.

And you might appreciate this. Mel Gibson resided in my hometown, in the horse country part. People generally allowed the horse people to traverse their properties as customary but Mel did not. He is a real asshole.

Maybe the parents don't want her to move in with Ashton, K? And maybe they don't want the state to file child neglect charges either.

The damaged, unfixable kid thing was a metaphor for Brenda beung damaged and unfixable and had nothing to do with the kid. I read it that Nate would have gone back to Brenda, and Brenda would have been accepted into the family (hence, the Nathaniel visit, on top of the David saying they are family and Ruth offering to help) had he lived. And this enabled her to be successsful and remarry happily and all that shit.

I cannot believe somebody actually posted this, and so quickly! THe point is, that I dont bother with edits, but Gatti not only does, but took the time to click on the I button, and go to the top left and plug in a word and accept it, but then didnt correct the spelling. Its like shepherdizing without blue booking.

I don't know. I don't think he would have gone back to Brenda. I don't think she would have taken him back either.

And the family was pretty shitty to her at the funeral. It was only as they all began to move past their grief that they realised they were all connected as family, whether they liked it or not.
