Truly! I decided to revisit her IMDB entry. She has been in NOTHING of consequence. Why her name would even remotely have been part of that game is anyone's guess! I mean Gretchen Mol, Jeanne Tripplehorn and MADONNA!?!?! Come on! That's like Elizabeth Taylor and Rose McGowan!

These episodes are veering way off course for me. I am constantly being made uncomfortable by ALL the storylines. I mean, that is cool - because it is realistic, but I need a break after Nate & Lisa bicker, Ruth tales Arthur (cringe), Keith at the brunch (yikes! at least he held his anger in check!) and Rico and Vanessa . I mean am I to rely on this Claire and Rusell story as my "uncringe" break? Jeez!

I want something drastic to happen! Have any of the storylines really moved yet? We're half way through the season and JUST NOW got an episode with some serious "Chenowith" content. Maybe Billy can mix it up.

BTW did anyone notice how congenial Nate and Billy were at the funeral? Didn't Billy try to KILL Nate a little while back?

No offense Daytripper but I think you need a new TV. You constantly mention how dark the show has been but it has always been dark. (more than normal shows)

The show has looked fine to me this season (granted I am watching it on HBO-HD on my 65" Mitsubishi 16x9 ) Sorry...had to toot my own horn.

As far as people complaining about the length of the show...I would much rather have short & great over long & crappy. At least that don't have to drag stuff out like some network shows to make the exact time they need.

As far as the episode goes, my wife and I both loved it. I do agree with one of the previous posts stating that the Rico storyline was very interesting and his storyline could use more time. Keith is great. The only thing homosexual about him is that he likes to screw men. Other than that, all his interests seem more like a normal beer-swilling football watching hetero. Funny how the shows breaks stereo-types while reinforcing stereotypes.

Nope, my TV is fine. And one or two other people have agreed with me on the film quality. There is a difference between this year and the first two. I finished the first season on DVD (not my first time watching that season btw), a week before the premiere of season 3, and you can definitely see a difference immediately.

Sorry, but it's not "film quality". It's lighting or cinematography. It's an artistic choice, not bad film stock. If this is how they want it to look, I really don't care too much. For me though, I have had no problems at all seeing what's going on. It's not like their lighting with only flashlights like on The X-Files.

Thank you sherm42, I realize it's not bad film stock. As I have indicated previously in a few other posts (referencing both lighting AND cinematography).

Ditto. If anyone ever wants to give me a Mol hint, try: "Best breasts on Earth" and I'll give you her name.

Of course, in that crowd...maybe not the best possible hint.

OK I know this isn't the other forum but you can't make a statement like that without backing it up with PG13 pictures.

the russel clare story line does nothing for me, I actually skipped thru the art store segment.

Arthur what a nut, like other's have said I hoped ruth's dream sequence was real. that had me cracking up. And then his love of kids, seems like there will be much more to learn about him this season.

I think when Brenda looked at Nate's scar that made me think this season is real, and also arthur, why would he dream up an intern?

Grrrrr I now officially despise lily taylor, 1st she has to restrain michael rappaport, and now we get her character driving Nate insano..

Great show though.

The funny thing about Keith is that last week he told David how he "loved" having sex with women. Kinda makes you wonder why he's gay?

That would be an interesting twist if he left David for a woman!



The thing that sucks about this show is that if characters like Brenda or Keith break up with their Fisher, their characters have no reason to stick around in the show.

Rent (or buy, it's worth it) Forever Mine. They have to be seen bare to really appreciate their sublime perfection.

Re: Six Feet Under - 4/13

Sorry for the really old bump but why not. I watched this episode a few nights ago on demand (i started watching this show just in time ) This show is so amazing and hypnotizing at times cause its one of those shows that when it ends, i've gotta go to next episode and watch.

Its also kind of funny/amusing that Arthur is Rainn Wilson aka Dwight on the Office kind of essentially playing the same character just a bit more creepy
