Six Feet Under


It is far too easy to say that this show is about life and death. It is about the characters struggle to make their lives matter. It is about finding comfort in others, and realizing that comfort will not come, because it is all so fleeting. But there are those moments, so rare and brilliant, where time stops, and they really soak it it. They understand that moment is all they really have.
I have seen many episodes. But I've never had a consistent relationship with HBO, so I've missed many shows over their short life. Michael bought me the entire series for Christmas... and today I am starting season two. I am watching them in order, and I'm already conscience of the end. Like all good things in life...
Nick: The line "I'm his fuck puppet" justifies any mistake this show may or not make for the next thousand years. A mighty good card to hold.
