Six Feet Under 5.12  

God I’m so tired of wasting my life away — I think I’m going to cut a couple scenes from that episode and play them every day when I wake up. Or watch the whole thing every Sunday.

Funny how I’m having flashbacks of online discussions with Procellus about how tedious he finds it that every episode of Dead Like Me ends with George learning a life lesson that she’ll promptly forget before the next week. It’s not just how serials work; it’s the way life goes. Everything changes, and everything stays the same.

Anyway…

<SPOILERS>

That was a fantastic finale for a show that lasted two seasons too long. Part of me wishes they hadn’t chosen to kill the one character I care the least about, but on the other hand that’s how we get to see all the others react to that and live not-so-happily not-so-everafter. (Nate’d already gotten his shot a grief anyway, and boy was that annoying. So I’m happy we’re spared a repeat of those scenes and he only gets to cameo as a mostly peaceful ghost.) The real problem is, the writers spent the last three years turning every single character into an asshole so I don’t really care that much for any of them. It’s a real testament to Alan Ball’s talent, then, that I was still sobbing by the end of episode twelve. Plus, my life sucking.

Je ne sais pas si tu as fait comme moi du coup. J'évite de regarder la saison 5 depuis pas mal de temps. Juste parce que la série est trop énorme pour moi et que je ne voulais pas que ça se termine. Et là j'ai craqué, j'en suis pour l'instant au 4e de cette ultime saison... Vraiment une série à part, un truc de ouf !

Non, pas spécialement, j'attendais juste d'avoir le temps et d'être dans un état d'esprit réceptif :)

Autant j'ai détesté la saison 4, autant la 5e saison reste une expérience télévisuelle unique. J'ai tellement pleuré devant cet épisode, j'avais même écrit un texte à l'époque. C'est vraiment de l'ordre de l'intime. :)
