Quantcast

Six Feet Under recap

So we last left the cast burning all of their items in a post-tag sale, cleansing, "past be gone" bonfire...as Radiohead's Lucky played in the background. Has anyone "been pulled out of the aircrash" since? Not quite yet, in fact this last episode may have left some of the Fishers boarding a doomed plane.

To recap:

Nate decides to start smoking pot again, follows a dog he believes is Lisa to a psychic where she tells him Lisa is not dead. The whole thing was absolutely Simpsons-esque (the one where Homer eats an hallucinogenic chili, the dog tells him to find his soul mate, etc etc).

Claire is about one paintstroke away from letting Mena Suvari's character give her what Russell apparently couldn't. We wished the scenario with the art boy Jimmy would have panned out into a more developed scene, but the point was made...Claire is becoming a new woman.

George reveals to Ruth that it is not Arthur, but his son sending the trucks of dump. Oh no, Ruth, not that son, the secret one that lives in the hotel in Burbank. How many offspring are out there belonging to this gent? Who knows, but Ruth will not stop asking him. We can't tell if Ruth is annoying or if George is a jerk but these two will be okay. There is balance there.

Brenda and Joe are the most normal people on the show. Yes, they get "creative" in the bedroom but they are normal. They're going to have babies and get married before the season is over...unless Billy shows up. Where is Billy?

Keith is most certainly going to get some hot male backup dancer action during the tour de Celeste (side note: Kevin Federline, we think we see a cameo with your name all over it!) And perhaps David will get some from the hitchiker he picks up in the next episode? We're not sure, it's either that or he'll be the victim of a hate crime. Time will tell. But at least these 2 are spicing it up a bit.

Things that left us wondering: When did Oliver, Claire's old art teacher and Billy's ex lover, move in with Margaret? Is Lisa really alive? We're pretty sure that the signs are trying to tell Nate that she is still alive in the spiritual sense, but you just never know with this show.

Upcoming: Rico gets soooooo busted.

    It's so good to see James Cromwell own up to the poop.

  • I'm a little suspicious about Lisa being alive. The psychic never said her name and Nate filled in the blanks. She could have easily been talking about Brenda ("She's not dead" = your wife is gone, but your true love is alive). And Lisa the dog is trying to help Nate to see that.

    And maybe Keith isn't going to get any hot backup dancer action, he's going to get some hot Celeste action. The whole Keith-used-to-do-girls issue along with him not being out on the job and the whole open relationship he and David have not has him a bit confused and empowered. Or something.

  • poor misguided rico. i cringe upon watching him go down this road...

  • is rico the most painful character to watch now or what?
