Now is where we update you on Six Feet Under, a Gothamist favorite. We are now three episodes into the season, be sure to check out our recap of last season.
First up, the newlyweds (dare we say hotter than Nick & Jessica?)...George & Ruth. We are getting the feeling that George is not fitting in all that well with the other Fischer's. He spouts out facts about nothing in particular and he replaced the formica kitchen table. Boundaries George, you have crossed the line.
We called it, Arthur is insane. He's cracked under the pressure from holding his feelings in about Ruth and as of last night, has made a hurried departure from the Fischer home. He may or may not have been sending boxes of...stuff...to George.
Nate is dealing with the loss of his wife Lisa by quitting the funeral biz and spending time with Maya. Sleeping with someone in the Mommy & Me class expediates the grieving process, apparently.
Rico continues to be under the spell of the stripper, Infinity Sophia, and keeps giving her money and presents. It is unclear as to why, but we think it has something to do with his need to help everyone (but himself.)
Brenda is trying to be normal with her new neighbor/boyfriend, Joe. So far so good. Although we're pretty sure Billy will show up one of these days to put a jolt in this normalcy thing.
Claire has some new friends, including Edie (played by Mena Suvari). Claire is unaffected by her other new friend, Anita, making out with ex Russell and upon finding about it brushes it off and asks about Edie's sexual preference. This makes Gothamist wonder...will Claire start experimenting?
Which brings us to David and Keith, who need to become more exciting!
Last nights episode ended with the Fischers burning their old items whilst the entirity of Lucky from OK Computer blared out of Claire's open window. It was symbolic and we are certain to see in the coming weeks what will rise from these ashes.
Have you missed anything this season? Watch all 3 episodes on Sunday starting @ 8pm and catch up.




nice SFU recap! this is my first season watching SFU as it premiers. I previously watched the first season on DVD, and caught up with the rest with HBO On Demand. With the previous seasons pretty fresh in my mind, this one seems a little weak so far, but I still enjoy it. Rico's relationship with the stripper to me seems like he's trying to look better to god, and he also fears that she will spill the beans to his wife. It's painful to watch someone being that stupid and blind. I hope that they leave George, I like him and I hope he stays with Ruth. She's grown a lot since the beginning and I'm glad she's not the whiney Mother she started out to be. And the Mena Suvari character? I hope she goes away. The stereotypical cool artist isn't doing it for me, and it's not that shes a lesbian, it's probably just Mena's overacting. Comeon, if she done that stroking the guitar on stage thing before, how fresh can she really be.
Anyone planning on seeing Peter Krause on Broadway?
George is played the father of a friend of Gothamist! That's James Cromwell to folks who remember him as Farmer Hoggett in Babe.
Anyone else with OnDemand notice this episode was available to watch more than a day before it aired?
More thoughts:
Ruth & George & Arthur – Interesting to hear Ruth talk about how she really did have a connection with Arthur. Makes her thing with George seem just as tenuous and flighty. George is proving himself to be a real jackass, last night's comment about how geology is a controversial field because of "oil"? Please. Funniest line ever, Ruth to Arthur: "I know it was you that sent me the feces box and the feces gift basket."
Nate: He actually quit last week, and will probably be back in the basement soon enough now that Arthur's left them short.
Brenda: Before we get to talking about Billy, how 'bout mentioning the S&M?
David & Keith: What's not exciting about the bj David got from the plumber, their goofing around as they give the relationship another try, and the comedy at Keith's job?
Maya: Creepiest baby ever on TV.
