Amazing Six Feet Under finale

As usual, an amazing Six Feet Under. As I've said before, and I'm on dial-up so I won't find it and link back to it, this season has been absolutely fucking amazing. Some amazing moments. Some of the best episodes ever. But something's been horribly missing, and really lacking. Finally, talking with friends, I realized what it was. Not enough messages from beyond/chats with the dead in day dreams! Sure, there's been plenty of drama. Plenty of death. Plenty of amazing emotional scenes. But David doesn't have the dead abusive husband giving him advice about the nature of abuse in relationships. Nate doesn't have the abandoned dead teenager comforting him about loss. Not enough dead people.

Remember Nate sitting in the room his father rented? Remember Rico flashing back to the first time he met Nate Sr? Remember the gang member talking to David what fear really is? All of that was horribly absent this season, leaving a major segment of what made the show so great out, but the rest of the show compensated. Tonight... that segment returned. Daddy, and not the Daddy I referred to, was back in a big way. The ``after death'' scenes, conversations with the dead, or conscious explorations of the subconscious... how ever you take them... were amazing as always. It wouldn't be a great show if that was all we had, but just like marshmellow topping and an artificial sweet cherry that you love so fucking much, it completes the sundae that is Six Feet Under.

( Spoiler block for you left coasters, TiVo users, and people who watch it on monday... )

I forgot where I worked sometimes, and thus have a copy of The Animatrix sitting in my Xbox, which is tired from a really really long Friday night. I'm giving towelboy this copy when my ordered copy comes in. So, anyone want to watch it?
