Everyone's Waiting (SUF 512)
Jun. 20th, 2007 04:51 pmI just watched the series' finale of Six Feet Under (512 "Everybody's Waiting") again and just like the first time I couldn't restrain myself and burst into tears during the last sequence because it is the most perfect moment I have ever seen in television and I don't think that any other tv series in mylife will affect me in the way this one.
Not Desperate Housewives, not Lost ... Lost is good for mystery, but the finale will offer answers, not play with the drama the way Six Feet Under did. Showing all main characters' deaths was just so fitting to the concept of the show because it is about (life and) death and this time the viewer has to deal with it on their own, they don't get emotional support from the other characters like they got when Lisa (401) or Nate (510) died.
There is nothing that is like or even close to it.
This is so fucking emotional but not sappy or annoying. Alan Ball plays with the viewers' emotions and feelings they developed for the character throughout the five seasons perfectly, thereby producing the perfect ending.
Period.
