Everyone's Waiting
Just watched the finale.
*sobs* *wails* *cries*
God they killed everyone everyone and it hurts so much I love all of them omg. I never thought I'd care so much but it breaks my heart and leaves me crying on my bed. I just...I just love them. And it's like emotional torture every single time one of them died after spending so much time with them caring so much. Fuck it hurts. I was stunned by Nate and then cried most of All Alone and then this...nooooo. But yet. It was perfect for the show and to see how their lives ended up and I'm happy with how they lived, how they finally found some happiness. And Claire got away! And how perfect is the car with her driving there and back and just the distance of their lives. I loved David and Keith and Durrell and Anthony the most, they are my favorite little family and I'm glad they married and were happy together in the end. I thought they might show their deaths but I didn't know how much it'd kill me. No matter how much it hurts, I'm glad that I had a chance to be effected by this family and this show and I love it damn it.
Thanks to everyone who recced the show and I can assure everyone else who has yet to watch that it is WELL worth watching times infinity.

The part that really gets me is when Claire is taking the pictures and Nate tells her she can't take a picture, it's already gone. Ugh, that gets me right in the heart.

God I love that. My moment is when old David sees young Keith...breaks my heart.

I finally splurged on the DVDs and I'm watching it with my roomies right now at school; we were almost done with season 3, but now Christmas break is upon us and we are apart and really, I JUST WANT TO GO BACK AND WATCH SIX FEET UNDER ALL THE TIME. Because I miss it.
So, er, in short, yes, AMAZINGGGG. Amazingest? Maybe.

Who were your favourite characters? Least favourite?
no subject
Favorite characters were definitely David, Brenda, Claire and Keith. And Durrell and Anthony who I adore. Hated Lisa, disliked Maggie and George although I warmed up to George in the end. I usually found something to connect with in each of the characters though, they're all just love. And I absolutely adore that photo in your icon. Nate and Brenda won me over in the end no matter what happened in later S5.

I love David, Brenda and Keith as well. They are such wonderfully complex characters, especially Brenda. I love how we never found out 100% what really went on between her and Billy (there was always that unspoken incest thing hanging over their heads). I love Nate too. A lot of fans hated him in the final season because of the way he treated Brenda, but I thought Nate was just so incredibly flawed. He was just so human. He made the stupidest mistake. I love how he thinks he would have been happy with Maggie, when we all know he would have wound up back in Brenda's arms.
However, I was never a fan of Claire. I liked her well enough, but she was definately my least favourite of all the main characters. Too much of an artsy, angsty brat, I think. And I hated all her art school friends, except Russell, although he went a little nuts in the end.
I liked Lisa. Didn't hate her, didn't love her. I just thought she and Nate weren't meant to be and it brought out an annoying side of her. George I just felt bad for because of his dementia.
Ugh. I loathe Maggie. For someone who is so righteous she sure had no problem taking part in sleeping with a man with a pregnant wife. What did you think of her final scene, when she is on the phone with Ruth? Did you notice she was in a doctor's office? There's some talk that she was pregnant.
I'm glad you loved it.

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.

Nate was a good guy. Or at least that's what he wanted to be more than anything. He was always so worried about what people would think of him and he just wanted respect and attention. He was very deep. He was perfect for the family job because he was sensitive and people could talk to him about death. He broke my heart in S2 when he revealed his ECE diagnosis to David. It was tragic; he was so fucking scared of dying and I really think that is what turned him into a more reckless and, sometimes, less sensitive person. But he always had his heart in the right place, even when it didn't seem that way. He would have wound up back with Brenda in the end anyway, had he lived. I'm convinced. Brenda had her fair share of treating him like crap, though. It went back and forth.
Claire definately grew up and matured the most out of all the characters. Although I rarely liked her actions and how she reacted to things I like that she finally got away to follow through with her dreams. When she wound up with Ted, I thought they were great together.
I think Lisa married Nate because she was pregnant with his child. I think Nate married Lisa because she comforted him that night when he was upset and she'd been a friend of his for years. He was going through a rough patch and she was a sympathetic ear and a gentle person. I can see why he would have made the hasty decision to marry her, although that illusion ended pretty quickly. It was an interesting contrast to the arguments between David and Keith because there's was a loving relationship you knew would eventually last. While I think Nate cared for Lisa, I don't think he ever loved her and I think that, when she died, he felt like crap for not loving her which made his emotional breakdown all the more wrenching.
That's why I love this show. There are so many layers behind every persons actions and reactions.
Poor Ruth. She's such a tragic character. Life didn't turn out the way she'd hoped. She married young, had children at a young age and grew apart from her husband. She never traveled and never had her sister's independence or free spirit. She could be very frustrating but I think, more than anyone else on the show, she was depressed. I love the small scenes with her: when she cries at Nikolai's flower shop because the roses smelled beautiful and happy and not like death, or when Nate shows her the picture of herself when she was really young before Nathaniel Sr. went off to the Vietnam War. Her relationship with Claire was explosive and brilliant!

Yeah I got that and I like him most of the time just not so much in S3 and S5. I liked how he could be the sensitive one, it balanced David out and I loved when he revealed his illness to him as well. I agree about Brenda, I was just really angry he didn't even try, that he gave up in the end to find "peace" when in a real relationship you're going to go through fights and hard patches and you just can't have sex with others because of it. I don't think it's Lisa's fault in the end, I became more angry at Nate for marrying her and making her think there was a chance that they could be a real couple and then not leaving her sooner when it was clear it wasn't going to work. I get trying with a baby but in this day and age, you can make it work just being friends. True about Nate's breakdown, it was just hard for me to feel as much because I really don't think it was his fault for not loving her, we can't choose that.
I was so glad Claire matured in the end and kind of had the life Nate always wanted, not being in the business and finding love that lasted. And yeah, I felt bad for Ruth too but she's one I thought I would dislike but grew to like a lot. I loved all the hidden depths in her and how sometimes she would take a stand like with The Plan. And I LOVED her relationship with Claire, when they had that first episode in S1 with them, it was the first one to really get me interested in the show.

Nate/David had so many scenes of win, I don't even know where to start. They were the balance each needed and they found it in one another.
We definately don't choose who we love, but I think Nate just felt like he led her on. When someone close to us dies all these ridiculous, irrational emotions surface and I just think Nate was more susceptible to them than most.
Ruth was fascinating. Such a broken woman. You're right about Claire, she did wind up with Nate's dream life.
