Yeah exactly, death does that to you. As for Brenda, I don't think anything more went on with the incest than what was shown although man that dream was creepy and this is coming from a person who doesn't mind incest. I can't say I loved Nate in that final season though, I was REALLY mad at him for what he did with Maggie and how he treated Brenda. He just never seemed to be able to grow or have an idea of what to do with his life which is why I was okay with him dying in the end, Mya aside. But seeing the effects of his death helped me forgive him a lot because in the end he was a good person who made bad decisions a lot. I just get really sick of the whole idealizing goodness/innocence thing.
Aww I love Claire. I just identify with her a lot having just been a teenager myself and going through the whole hating high school, hating my family, having a hard time with friends and wanting to be an artist/having big dreams and such. It's a learning process. Although I was so glad she came out of her dating crazy, messed up boyfriends stage. I actually really liked the art school plotline and seeing her with her friends there, it showed the good and bad sides of the art world.
It just drives me CRAZY when people try to get together with people who don't love them. All of that crap could have been avoided so easily and it annoyed me that it was the main storyline. I'd rather see people try to deal with a relationship with love but problems in dealing with the relationship like say, David and Keith (*LOVES*). And then he just went back to Brenda when duh of course he's going to cheat although I was glad at the time because it meant no Lisa heh. I did feel bad for George but it frustrated me that Ruth married him so fast when it was obvious they needed time to get to know each other. I mean, it makes sense in the story, I'm just big on people getting to know each other before they become committed to each other like that. Too true about Maggie but I thought the doctors thing was just she worked in a doctor's office. I would think the baby would have showed up in the flashbacks but in any case it'd work that Nate impregnates the nice girl he sleeps with on his first try.
Thanks for pushing the show on me! It helped get me to watch it.
