Six Feet Under ends with some good Bush commentary
Tonight was the finale. Last week's show began with an Iraq vet, having lost both legs and one arm, taking his own life with the help of his sister, followed by a rampage from Claire upon seeing the yellow ribbon and "Support Our Troops" stickers on the greiving mother's SUV.

This week was a heavy finale, with a poignent montage ending, but also not before Claire makes her republican boyfriend promise he'll move to Canada should Bush decide to invade Iran. Also, some pretty harsh comments about enriching Halliburton and Bechtel.

It's over now. A truly good teevee show is over, and it went out with a bang!

SFU - 2001-2005

1. Yes, it was.
It really did tap into the loss of the death of a loved one, not to mention every other thing that involves being alive. RIP

2. Actually, Claire referred to the administration
as 'corporate war mongers'.
Also, did you see Billy's t-shirt: What Would Jesus Bomb?
I will truly miss Six Feet Under--such unique & authentic qualities.

7. No spoilers! Don't worry.
There were no spoilers in my post. Just basics, probably less than what you'd find in a TV Guide preview.

Just what kind of schmoe do you think I am???!

:shrug:

14. But you've opened up a discussion that WILL contain spoilers.
It's just really inconsiderate for West Coasters.

13. Alas, no. I like yours more.
Simple black, I think ( maybe dark blue) with "Who would Jesus Bomb?"
on it.

Sounds like I missed some good stuff. I never saw the show before. :shrug: So is that the total end of the show or just the season?
