I wasn't going to post this tonight, cause I'm kinda tired after spending the day recovering from Traylor's amazing day of drunkenness. That was a blast, the food was good, the company was better, had a great time.
So, anyway, the third (or is this only the second?) season of 6FU is over. Nothing really shocking in the last ep, yes, Lisa is dead. Ruth is married again. David and Keith are back together. Maybe Nate and Brenda are back together, even though she is refusing to sleep with her French Horn playing neighbor. Not exactly a shocker, and definitely not a big fat cliffhanger like last season when we didn't know if Nate would survive or not. There was really no setup for next season at all, it could have served very well as a series finale.
But let's hope not.

The season finale, maybe the whole season, has been pissing me off because of its cheap, spliced from 15 different Lifetime channel dramas storyline. I had a bad feeling when the premiere toyed with the idea of killing Nate. And the art teacher was a mostly annoying character addition. Bring back Kathy Bates! Bring back the days when Ruth joins that weird cult ("I am speaking fiercely from the I!"). Bring back the days when Brenda goes to a rival funeral home dressed as a cancer patient! Bring back the days of relevant, insightful dead people at the beginning of the show! Bring back good writing!

I always loved HBO's Six Feet Under - but am surprised that the writers just had to cram in liberal BS spewing from the mouth of a (conveniently) drunken Claire. The vehicle (drunkenness) thinly masks the need of the writers to get in their digs against those who do not buy into the anti-war rhetoric. The lines of garbage on tonight's show were pathetic. Such a shame that this show goes out on such a weak note.

I really, really, really liked the finale. It put life into perspective for me. Call me sappy, call me silly, but the last 15 minutes just captivated me.
Say what you will but it really got me thinking about the finality of life, that no matter how messed up we are in the present; we should focus on sharing time with those we love and making the most of that time!

What was the title and who sang the final song in SFU which played as Claire was driving away ... ?

According to adtunes.com it was "Breathe Me" by an artist named Sia.

I am still thinking about it, taped it and just watched it....captivating, memorable, heart-wrenching...previous comments so true, keep your loved ones close-there's not planning for death. Loved how it is all wrapped up for us...no questions. Great writing/acting, I'll miss those people like they were my friends. Farewell 6FU...

Well, for me, the final season of Six Feet Under was so-so. But let me finish. I indeed wished there were more of Kathy Bates, but a lot of you don't know that she directed some of the episodes, so she was there is spirit (though God knows I loved her sardonic attitude!). Brenda and Nate being together was never good news - they weren't like Rachel & Ross; Nate & Brenda were doomed from the get go, and that's why we loved them. I LOVED Brenda's mother. Loved Ruth, even Claire (when she wasn't self-absorbed). Billy I could have done without (except maybe when he was nuts and trying to seduce his sister). Anyway, I'm rambling....point being, I ADORED the last episode. I cried like a baby for the last ten minutes. I'm a 30 year old man. But I bawled. I'm getting teary-eyed now. That song - oh, that SONG! - "Breath Me" by Sia, so haunting as it played while we saw how each of our beloved characters leaves this earth??!!!!! And Claire! Living to be 101 years old. It was beautiful. You can call it sappy all you want, I loved it. That's all. Thanks for reading.

Well....the season finale was almost 4 years ago and I STILL think about that final episode from time to time......absolutely unforgetable. I have kept that finale on my DVR all this time and occationally, I'll watch the last 15 minutes just to hear that song by Sia played as Claire drives off to her new life in NYC. Each time I see how each of these character's lives end, I feel like I am watching old friends passing. I loved this show and I can honestly say, it has been my all time favorite....there will never be anything THAT good for me again. I do think, however, that those same writers need to get back together and start something new! I'll be waiting...

My mom went into hospice in sept 2005. I stayed at her apt after she and I decided she was done fighting cancer and was according to her as-whole oncologist, giving up. I watched the series finale, by myself, in her apt. To this day, the series finale, the last 6 minutes I associate with the decision, she and I made together, to let her die in peace. While she was gone, 3-4 days later, coma, it took her another month or so, to physically die. She passed away after a Monday night football game, Redskins, her favorite team won one for a change. I told her goodnight, and went to sleep in a chair by her bed. The hospice nurse woke me gently and told me, she had finally passed, I think she waited until the game was over, and I had fallen asleep, to sneak out. I think she didn't want me to se her pass. I miss my mom, and when I hear this song, no matter what, I cry. I can't describe how much joy and pain this song, and this last 6 minutes brings. Breathtaking. Thank you Alan Ball.
