Not yet able to see the "Six Feet Under Finale."

But go ahead and talk about it in the comments. I'll catch up with you later in the week. Don't worry about spoilers. I won't read this until I've seen it.

UPDATE: Ooh, it's hard to resist looking at the comments! And what if someone's using this comments section to attack me for some un-SFU-related thing? Anyway, I keep seeing that the finale was great or the greatest final episode ever and so on.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I finally see the show and write up my observations here.

I thought it was just great. I cried, I laughed, I cried some more. It was very satisfying. No false notes to gripe about...a well... I thought perhaps Keith's death wasn't very well done. How about those make-up jobs at the end? The special where they interviewed the cast and producers was also great. I don't have anything particularly interesting to say.... just a satisfied viewer. That's some damn fine TV.

Crushing. Cried my eyes out and I'm not someone who cries often. Really spectacular. Looking forward to your post on it.

When I saw Maggie in the doctor's office I said "oh my god!" and my wife waid "what? what?"... I was sure she was pregnant and during some of those "pregnant" pauses in her conversation with Ruth, I was just sure she was going to say "Ruth, you're going to have another grandchild", but the moment passed. Perhaps it was an abortion. Perhaps she was just working as a pharm rep. I hadn't thought of that possibility until I read it here.

"Fresh Air" with Terri Gross had a fabulous postmortem on the show with Alan Ball today. You can listen here.
