I laughed so hard at this letter to the Seattle Weekly

Six Feet Blunder?

Thanks for ruining Six Feet Under for me [Dategirl, "The Blunder From Down Under," Aug. 10]. After getting ready to watch season four on DVD when it's released later this month, I was excitedly (but patiently) anticipating the final season, albeit in due time. Ever heard of a spoiler alert? Yeah, most decent columnists (e.g., Heather Havrilesky of Salon.com) make use of them. I suggest that Dategirl employ them in future articles before she pisses off any more readers.

I'll spoiler her response, even though it's obviously not true. I don't want to get yelled at.
Dategirl responds:
Spoiler:
If I'd run the column before the show aired, I probably would've done that. But now that you've pissed me off, you should also know that Claire loses a leg in a car wreck with her new lawyer boyfriend (who is decapitated in the accident), Durell and his brother get taken away by Protective Services, and Brenda gives birth to a baby with a cleft palate. Oh, and Maggie—she's pregnant, too. Hopefully her baby won't be deformed, but we'll never know.

Just a recording reminder.

Episode runs longer about 1 hour & 15 minutes.

People act like having a TV show "spoiled" for them is a death in the family.

This final ep was "ruined" for me but I'll still love it.

Everything. Ends.

Watched the first season and bits of the rest. All I can say is...THAT IS HOW YOU DO A FINALE! Accidentally DVR'd the end. No regrets on that whatsoever.

I've never full on cried for a movie or TV show before, but I certainly did for about 20 minutes tonight. Wow.

I can't watch Entourage tonight, too much of a mood change.

the last episode of "Six Feet Under" was one of the most perfect episodes of television to grace my screen.

alan ball crafted thee series ender to measure all others by. it was the ending every great television show that went out with a wimper wished they could produce.

it was elegant and brilliant. it was truly the happiness we all wanted for the Fisher's and the show.

Wow. Amazing. The last sequence was very moving. And it looks like everyone did get a relatively happy ending.

IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE!!!

During the end, I was just sitting there completely stunned! I didn't want to blink and miss anything.

That goes down as THE BEST ending of a show EVER!!!

Great ending to a fantastic show. I bought the second soundtrack last week but couldn't get into it. Now, it all fits together for me. I'm sad the show's over, but it's left me with a lot to think about. This show always makes me think!
