Any "Six Feet Under" fans out there? I have followed the show off and on for the last several years and have been really into it over the last year. Last night was the series finale. Did anyone see it? It broke my heart. It emphasized something that has been on my mind so much lately-- the circle of life. (can't you just here the Lion King song playing in your head?) :-) After Nate died a couple episodes ago, the family has been trying to move on, and the show ended with Claire leaving home to find her dream and I sobbed thinking about my child, who isn't even born, leaving me someday. Sad, I know. Then, as Claire drove away, it flashed through every character in the show and how they will die. Mothers leaving children. Spouses leaving spouses. Sisters leaving brothers. It was too much for me. It made life seem so short and simple. I must've sobbed for a hour, telling me that pregnant women should not watch anything so deep. I am overly sensitive anyway, and these hormones have made it a million times worse.
Six Feet Under, I will miss you. I need a new show to get into, maybe something a bit healthier. I like "Nip/Tuck", but I'd love any suggestions you may have for another show to get into.
Posted by Hannah at August 22, 2005 08:07 AMI've never seen that show, but gosh, that sounds *so* depressing! I probably would have reacted the same way! I sometimes think about Lucas growing up and having a family of his own, and I wonder if he'll leave this area and move someplace far away. And he's only five months old ~ so I completely understand thinking far into the future! LOL!
Posted by: Lisanne at August 22, 2005 11:45 AMI get attached to shows like that also. I think about those sort of things sometimes as well.
Posted by: Ani at August 22, 2005 01:39 PMYou're right, your hormones must have magnified those emotions a million fold. But it is tough, letting go, moving on and just saying good bye. Don't go too far ahead of yourself - there are moments to be enjoyed.

Posted by: feli at August 22, 2005 10:18 PMHave you tried Over There? My husband is ADDICTED to it, and I'm actually shocked I like it so much- I wasn't expecting to!
Another good one that promises to be as great as Nip/Tuck (think it's made by the same people) is Prison Break coming this fall (I think Sept. 18th).
And of course Lost and Desperate Housewives... those are given! My hubby watches all except DH with me.
Can you tell I love my TIVO? Such time-efficient TV watching. :)
Posted by: girl from florida at August 22, 2005 10:35 PMI cried for 2 hours, first because it was over, then because it was so sad, and then because I realized that the person I love, Josh, I will never be able to spend time with him again. He will die, and I will never be able to be with him when he does. So I balled for 2 hours thinking about the show and how I will never see him again. I know, i lead a pathetic life.
