There are two more episodes of Six Feet Under. It's funny how easy it is to get attached to a show and its characters. From the beginning I thought the show was genius. The premise was rich and so were the characters. I was always waiting for them to run out of clever ways of killing people but they always came up with something that was clever and fresh. (I really liked the mountain lion attack this season!)
I was thinking about which character I would miss the most and it’s very hard for me to decide. I know I'll miss Nate the least since I've hated his character from the beginning. What's really strange about Nate is that when he finally died, I felt bad for him and a little guilty for wishing they would have killed him off sooner! I think the creators did the character a huge service with George's eulogy. Nate did have ideals. He fucked up a lot but he did keep trying. Shame on all the women in his life that tried to make him happy by discounting who they were!
I think I'm going to miss Brenda's mother the most. Unlike some of the other characters, they never watered her down. They never felt the need to make her grow and I think it's because she was probably the healthiest character on the show. Sure she was incredibly self centered but she was always honest with her feelings and told it like it was. In this week's episode the first thing she said to Brenda was "fuck honey, you've had a shitty year!"
I love it. I'm hoping they'll be able to tie everything up in two episodes. It's going to be tricky. stay tuned!
