It was a lovely ending - I liked it when Nate, Lisa and Brenda were all in the plastic pyramid together. I don't think pyramids are essential to spiritual life, but it was good to see them all calmed down and feeling happy.
Keith is having a personality change, he was always so "straight" and now look at him, picking up men in bars!
I enjoy Brenda and Billy with their mum - she is so whacked out but they can still tease her and enjoy her company in a strange kind of way. Shagging Olivier though, yeuch.
How come Vanessa is back nursing - I thought she got kicked out because she didn't resuscitate a woman who had a hotdog in her throat? Have I been dreaming again?
And Ruth is looking lovely these days, much nicer clothes, wonder if they are the ones Bettina gave her? So sweet with her semi-son/lover.
The track is listed in the episode's credit on the HBO website. As for Season Two on DVD it's coming out in the US on June 8th,( to co-incide with Season Four's debut over there), so we'll get possibly around the same time or a month later, I hope. As for Season Four there are some cool promos involving most of the regular ( except Rachel Griffiths who was heavily pregnant at the time) in a shopping market with the Nina Simone track Feeliing Good playing in the background. The reason I'm telling you of the track is that's it's to be featured in the Six Feet Under - Volume 2 soundtrack in June, supposedly. There's also a book called Six Feet Under - Living Through Death- a guide to the show's first three seasons, pluse more currently out that's worth checking. I missed Thursday's episode too - so i'm watching the repeat on E4, before Angel. You 11pm is bad. Our Irish who are just halfway through Season Two air it at midnight on Thursdays. Talk about horrendous. Can't wait until Season Four.
I have to agree that thursdays episode was beautiful and moving. I thought it was very calming at the end due partly to the pyramid but I initially thought that they were in a pyramid to represent the love triangle thats going on between them (Nate,Lisa and Brenda). What do you think? or am I just reading too much into it what with me being a media studies student and all?
I thought it was more that Brenda was invited in by Lisa - as if she (L) had come to terms with the past and Brenda stayed separate from them, the couple ... but you could be right, if pyramids are tirangles? It looked pretty squared off to me.

And when they go to commercials, they don't even let the characters finish their sentence!
WELL I THINK THIS SERIES OF 6 FT UNDER IS VERY DULL I LOVED THE LAST ONE AND COULDNT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE BUT THIS ONE I HAVE NO INTREST IN AT ALL SORRY BUT THEYVE SLIPPED BIG TIME AND WOT THE HELL HAS NATE DUN HE NEEDS A GOOD SHAVE A FEED AND A BATH HE LOOKS A MESS COMPARED TO THE LAST TIME
Unfortunately I have to agree with those of you who have been disappoined by Six Feet Under rencently. I feel the show is no longer the wonderfully dark black comedy that it used to be. What in the name of all that is holy is going on between Aurthur and Ruth? What is Nate playing at? Lisa and he make a terrible couple; she brings out the worst in him... and even if it could be argued that the writers have put them together to bring out a different side to the characters, it still wouldn't change the fact that it is not merely the plotlines, but the actual writing that is the problem. I really did use to be a big fan of the show, but it's just not that good anymore.
I agree that there isn't as much dark humour in this series, but there is a lot more happening in the relationships of the characters, and I'm really enjoying the writing, observations, direction and subtlety as much as I ever did.
The dead people that start the show off don't seem to feature as heavily in most of the episodes any more, and while that's a shame, it hasn't detracted from my utter enjoyment of this series.

I can't believe Keith and David have lasted as long as they have. They may love each other and have hot sex but I don't think that they are right for each other. David needs somebody more gay. Like the guy who met him from the bus or somebody else from his chorus group.

Got it - splendid.
Many thanks sir.
As for comments above this, I too am feeling this series is dragging a bit. Too many relationships that shouldn't be going anywhere. Too many moments of soft fluffiness and not enough dark humour of old.
So why am I watching? Well, just to see Brenda and Nate get it back together.
I saw the repeat of Everyone Leaves last night. Yup Nate even asked Brenda in one ep did she **** him? Obviously not, but even still, kinda noteworthy.
Ooh, I've watched it since the beginning, death and sex, what could be better?
I meant I'd assumed there was an incestuous relationship in their past, before those nice people started filming them. (I am a bit scared that I thought that!)
Billy was always so very possessive of Brenda when she was with Nate, and that mutual tattoo thing was so weird, I'd just assumed she wasn't admitting it (and why should she? not his business).
But then as she WAS shocked I was obviously wrong. Although I was also surprised she hadn't read the fabled Nathanial and thingy books for years and couldn't remember them properly - given that they were allegedly so important.
Yep Dandruff-boy, I'm inclined to agree with you. Brenda seems to have put whatever happened between her and Billy behind her(and whether that was sexual or not, it was certainly something intense). She's moved on, but Billy is regressing back to that time the more time he spends with her.

Yes, I can see that - remember how hurt she was when he said he had been told not to have contact with her as it was "unhealthy", but since she'd gone away and come back things seemed alright.
And I guess "unhealthy" doesn't have to mean sexual.
We see Nate Sr and dead Lisa in the season three finale tormenting Nate. That's something and Nate said to Brenda - "Did you **** your brother" when he found out her sex addiction.
