Alan Ball is My Hero

I'm going to post about the wedding and the birthday party. I really am. But this morning I'm still sitting here thinking about the final episode of Six Feet Under that aired last night. This show has been ripping my heart out and stomping on it for the past three weeks and last night it completley wiped me out, it was so good. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet but the words in the promo photo for this season below suddenly made total sense. I felt pretty sad and empty after Buffy went off the air but this show really scraped out my insides. In a good way. Plus, who out there was probing my brain when they created Claire's character?

  1. That was a great show. The last few minutes were particularly good. Someone needs to win an award for that.

  4. SFU brought to reality that something is out there waiting for all of us, almost always unexpectedly. Each day is a blessing. Tomorrow is not a promise.

  5. You couldn't have put it better... it really did scrape out my insides.. hell, I felt grief stricken even today, just thinking of it.
    Raquel-The song playing was "Breathe Me" by Sia...

  6. It's too bad the Emmy nominations have already been announced. Maybe next year when this episode is eligible Lauren Ambrose or Frances Conroy will get some recognition. I loved having Claire close out the series.
    I'm going to watch it again today. Just to see the scene in the montage where Billy finally crazies Brenda to death.
