huh. Interesting thought. I do generally like the acting.

I'm in erika and Corwood's corner re: Six Feet Under. GF didn't care for it either. We just didn't give a shit about any of the characters.

Six Feet Under people: Why don't I feel the love?

Although I watched it off and on througout its run I never loved it either. It always seemed like it was trying to hard to be cool. Plus all the characters bugged the shit out of me and I wanted to slap all of them. a lot.

There wasn't a single character on 6FU that I cared about.

And a few that were insufferable.

6FU had the greatest series finale. Ever.

Tom, me brother... You are doing that cynic thing, with the hyperbole thing.

C'mon, peoples! New Wire.

I don't think I've ever enjoyed saying anything in my life as much as those children enjoy "*FUCK* you, you cheese-faced bitch!" Unless I could pay a bunch of them to call up, say, Ann Coulter's house. On a more substantial note, I almost feel that I won't be able to take it if Pres gets surprised in the supply closet again...hurts to watch. But I don't want to punk out or anything.

Man, I laughed like hell at that line.

So, looks like Carcetti might be thinking about pushing Daniels up to Commissioner. Can a mayor do that?

I watched the first season of six feet under a couple of years ago, and while I enjoyed it entertainment-wise, it was definitely a show that I was doing other things while I was watching. I liked--and I say this about the show, definitely not in RL--watching the people die at the beginning; it was a clever way to approach the fact that they were going to be dealing with a dead body every episode without making it trite, like every cop show ever.

Also, Gus is totally right WRT the series ending. I watched the last, like, ten minutes on YouTube, and by the end I had shed a couple tears, despite the pixelation. Excellent.

serial:

I thought a Mayor of a city appointed the commissioner.
