The End of Six Feet Under

This post is for fans of the HBO series "Six Feet Under". If you are a fan and have seen the series finale, then continue reading.

Ok - here we go:

David / Keith -

I thought they wrapped this up nicely with David *finally* attacking his attacker in his dreams and coming to grips with it. It was nice to see Keith and David work thru their issues. I also loved that fact that they moved into the Fisher house and finally made some nice changes to it (they could have shown more of that).

Federico / Vanessa -

This was a great wrap-up showing how couples can get back together even after one of them cheats. I like that fact that they got their own business and the Fishers are still in business.

Brenda / Nate / Mia / Willa -

What a GREAT way to open the episode with Willa's birth instead of another "customer" for the Fisher business! Very nicely done. I had some issues with Brenda and her handling of Mia and not letting Nate go. But they wrapped that up nicely too with Ruth taking back her role as the ultimate mom and realizing that Mia needed to be with Brenda. My only pet peeve was the quick switch with Nate where he was saying the baby was going to die and the next scene he's holding Willa with his dad looking over his shoulder and everything is OK. Maybe they could have made the episode another 5 minutes longer and made that transition smoother.

Billy / Brenda's Mom -

Nice finish here too. I loved Billy's last scene with Claire's lawyer/boyfriend in the kitchen.

Ruth / George / Maggie -

George can be such a jerk - Look at the tirade that Maggie does in her final scene where she really tells him off - Long overdue! The rest of the time George is a nice, supporting guy to Ruth. Ruth FINALLY gets out of that house and moves on. I think they did a great job wrapping these story lines up too.

Claire -

Loved the scenes where her new lawyer/boyfriend agrees to some nude photos - a good way to get Claire *back* to being creative. To have the show finish with her driving to New York to start a new life (thank you Nate for telling her that's what she needs to do) was a nice finish.

And finally - the end. Love the fast-forward to see how all the main characters meet their fate - Perfect for a show based on death. And I LOVED that song that was playing (Breathe Me by Sia, available on the Vol. 2 6ft Under soundtrack).

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Space Shuttle Discovery returns home safe

I am a NASA and shuttle nut and have been following the shuttle program since the beginning. I have lost much sleep on STS-114 as the space shuttle program resumes after the tragic loss in 2003 of Columbia (I watched both the Columbia and Challenger disasters live, when they happened). Discovery touched down safely at 7:12AM (CST) this morning, after waving off the 4th attempt at Kennedy Space center in two days.

I'm going to guess that the next launch will be in November of this year.

YEAH!
