Six Feet Under
« on: June 15, 2009, 08:53:32 PM »
Only five more episodes left.  Bataan must Have been a barrel of laughs compared to this.


Why would anyone watch this willingly? Why, buffcoat, why?

 That abduction episode terrified me/made me ridiculously anxious. Am I the only one?

 And it's weird seeing that actor in a bunch of comedy roles.

 Kinda wish I stopped after the first season.

 Also, Nate's strokes evoked the same terrifying feeling in me as when similar things have happened in real life.

i'm milling about in the art gallery in the episode where the girl takes a picture of the dude peeing on a wall and puts it in her exhibit (I haven't watched the show yet. I think I'm about to start).  That was back in my extra work days.

I thought the first couple seasons were excellent,  but it started to turn when Rainn Wilson's "Arthur" showed up, and was in total freefall by the time poor Lili Taylor showed up.

I still cried during the finale, though, mainly because the best character wins!

The abduction episode made me incredibly angry.  Just MAD.  I have no problem being "fucked with" by art--books, films, records, whatever.  But that was just an insane trip of unnecessary proportions.  If I'm remembering right I had a nightmare over it.  I also remember tuning out of that show shortly thereafter.  

I miss Sunday nights, though.  Nothing has really filled the void.  Obviously I mean Carnivale.

That was the one I watched tonight.

During the "lisa is missing" arc, I stayed up till 2am watching consecutive eps until I realized THEY WERE JUST GOING TO KEEP ON FOREVER.  Someone involved with that show is real sadist.

I watched most of the first season and I felt no connection to it or any of the characters. I know others really like it and...well...good for them. Just didn't take for me.

I love that show, except that I hate it, and I'll never watch it again, except I bought the whole series on DVD.  Probably some of the best television ever just for that reason.  And the abduction episode really haunts me, too.  I think that's a sign of what a good show it was.  If Will and Grace had a similar episode, it wouldn't have been hard to watch, because you'd know everything will be okay at the end.  It's the same thing I like about David Lynch--the idea that nothing might not ever be okay again.

I watched the last ep last night.  It really did change my view of the whole show, which I wasn't expecting.  I want to think about it before I pass final judgment.
