See, I think I'm glad I stopped watching SFU.

I don't like it, I don't think. So far it says "Hi. My creators went to a crapzillion writing workshops to learn how to write Serious and Sensitive storylines about Big Questions." but I suppose I should give it more of a chance than that.

I really liked it first season, but I think quality has fallen drastically every year since.

No...I was hoping it got better, Matt. Never mind, then. It's...self-conscious or something.

This was how I felt, but for me, it fell far enough (and the loooooooooooong break in between short seasons doesn't help me stick-with-it), I didn't bother coming back.

Yep. And there's this aim to be frank that fails for me, because it feels like contrived frankness. I did not need to see character A using the urinal, thanks.

Up with the sun

I love Six Feet Under because the acting and directing and cinematography are so wonderful, but I do understand the criticism that the writing is not as good as the other elements. I still love Claire, though. (And Nate. And David. And Brenda. And Ruth. And Maya is damn cute, and I love that they just let the baby playing her act like a 2-year-old, instead of having her seem all drugged and perfect.)

That actually beats the used condom display from this season.

Hey. New board.

I love Six Feet Under.

And, also, Buffy. Yes, I know, only weirdos like Buffy. Deal.

The urinal thing wouldn't ping me cause I watch the wire...cops on stakeout feel the call of nature outside a lot, apparently.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

cops on stakeout feel the call of nature outside a lot, apparently.

Is this why you're not a cop? Shy bladder?
