alksjf i thought you were accidentally spoiling me about b/j omg. so i started being all paranoid about justin leaving for new york (and thought that that would be lame ;))). sorry about drew and emmett...
Ya know, I've always shipped Nate and Brenda and I didn't like Maggie at all (especially tonight), but seeing Nate so... free like that convinced me that the breakup was the best thing to do.
I just don't get it. What was the point of Brenda's self realization last season or Nate at the end of season 4. I don't believe for one second Nate & Maggie would have made it the long run. I think Brenda was spot on when she said Nate ran to Maggie becasue he was afraid.
Listen to me, I alwasy shipped Keith & David, but this just feels wrong.
I think I'm just used to SFU making me feel awkward, uncomfortable, and wrong that if it's not, I am on my toes.
Like with Claire, I agree with you and Miss M. about the guy being different and perhaps good for her for a longer term, but I kinda didn't want things to change!
I'm hoping Nate will still make an appearance in the last few episodes (it would only make sense?) and help sort things out.
That was an amazing episode. And I kept thinking what an amazing actor Michael C Hall is; he stood out even in tonight's incredible ensemble performance.
Whose dream at the end, btw? I think it started out as Nate's and ended as Dave's--the brothers sharing.
I hope it means that David will quit the funeral home business at the end, selling it to Rico so that he can become what he would have been if he hadn't been so busy trying to impress his father--not stoner dude exactly, but a more relaxed family man. He makes such a great lioness protecting her young!
Ruth was fun, but she's going to be devastated when she realizes she missed those last hours.
Yes, I thought about his funeral suit at the end too. I just think he needs to break with that world; he gets too wrapped up in stupid things like types of coffins and crematoriums. It's the gadget end of it that he enjoys, not the people contact. He'd be happier selling toys at Radio Shack.
I think he just needs to learn balance. In many ways Durrell & Anthony are very much what he and Keith needed. They both needed to think outside of themselves. It's nice to see Keith trying to control his temper & David trying to show some backbone. having these things to focus on make the funeral home more of a buiness and less of David's entire life.
P.S. What did you think about Claire's date? I liked him. He was enjoying their political argument, and when he opened his mouth in the hospital, he said useful and comforting things. So incredibly unlikely a match for Claire!
At the restaurant, I was totally "in" Claire and thinking "WTF am I doing with this man?", but then yes - he turned out to be much more than that. Quelle ecotone!
I like him becasue he is the exact opposite of what she usally goes for. He's a grown up, not a weirdo, a loser or a lost cause. He has his own opinion of things but doesn't dimiss Claire's.
Exactly! I thought he was a keeper when I saw how much he was enjoying the way she stood up for her opinions, and I knew it when he started talking about how people could recover from episodes like Nate's. Also, he obviously picked up on the Nate/Maggie/Brenda soap opera, but was willing to shelve his curiosity. Like you said: a grown up.
I was hysterical. I don't even like Ruth yet I'm like OMFG RUTH!!! :((!!! And Claire was sooooooo sweet. I'm in love with Claire this season.
I've always loved Brenda but Nate's always been really bad with relationship stuff so even though it breaks my heart, their ending seemed fitting. BUT I STILL HATE MAGGIE. The entire time she was sitting in that waiting room I was screaming for her to leave. UGH.
DID YOU SEE PREVIEWS FOR NEXT WEEK'S EP???? Omfg talk about traumatising. David. :((!!!!!!!!!!

Date: 2005-08-01 05:21 am (UTC)I feel the exact same way about Brenda and Nate. I don't think I ever shipped and then NOT shipped. And I too hate Maggie the lame-o slut. :-L
I have not seen the previews but excited now [-o< !!!
