Six Feet Under--6/20/04 (Spoilers, of course)

Arthur… I’m loving him! Don’t mess with his yogurt, man!

I’m glad Nate walked away–he was too, too emotionally wrapped up with the death of Lisa to be able to be stable with customers.

I’m glad to see that Brenda was able to hold out with the new boyfr… uh, never mind.

Man, George definitely has some skeletons in his closet… who would send him a “big pile of steamin’ dookie?” :eek:

I suspect Arthur sent it after finding out that he was right about the origin of Formica. :dubious:

I also think that George expects too much of people when he’s getting to know them. He’s trying too hard with Ruth’s family. Soon he will be convinced that they don’t like him and he will be verbally abusive to them…Why else would all his children from previous marriages avoid him?

I think Rico’s bitten off more than he can chew with the dancer. It started out as a one night stand and now he’s her sugar daddy.

Sweet Jesus, that was the best first five minutes of television i’ve seen in a long time.

I dunno, I’d like to think that my boy Arthur is too clever for that, but then again, George made him look stupid in front of Ruth. He’s not too pleased about that.

Yep, George is certainly trying to make a space for himself in the family, but is really trying way too hard–and he’s not made any friends as of yet. I really think that it was glaringly obvious when George received his little package, the reactions of Nate, Claire and Ruth. Ruth was the only one horrified, while Nate kinda laughed and Claire ran for her camera.

I’m just wondering what really is driving George in this relationship, and why he finds it so important to not bring up his past.

She’s nailed him as an easy target–and he’s a breeze to manipulate. Ah, The Power of Blow Jobs. :smiley:

Oh, Dorothy’s death?

Man, I burned dinner because of that. Seriously.

Amen, Brother. My wife told me that she had never seen me laugh so hard at something on TV. That was genius.

I really thought that Nate would stop and help the crying son through his grief. Nope. He’s the same self centered shit he was from the beginning. I bet he spends the next bit of time fucking up Brenda’s relationship with Trumpet Boy.

If there’s a God, we’ll see a little girl on girl action featuring Claire.

Haj

Oh man was that first five minutes fun! What made her run out into the street like that? We may never know. LOL!

Aside from that, I’m prepared to see Arthur kick some George ass. That should be fun. I have a feeling Arthur is capable of much more than he appears.

That is definitely worth laying down a prayer or two for.
Awwww Yeah.

The poo had to be from Arthur. It was in Tupperware.

WHY can’t Claire get a crush on her adorable perfectly nice friend instead of Vampira Performance Artist WannaBe Lesbian???

I felt so sorry for Keith trying to “pass” with all the testosterone-addled security guys. He sure was a champ about the plumber, though! (Compare to Rico’s predicament - the NoBigDealBJ v. the LifeScramblingBJ!)

I really thought Russel was going to end up on stage at some point. As for Nate and the crying kid, I don’t think he was being selfish. At first I really though, ohh perfect, this is just the person that Nate’s been looking for during the entire episode (someone actually dealing with their greif) but when he walked past him I figured he just thought to himself (Nope, I’m out now, I don’t have to deal with this anymore, besides, I’ll probably just make matters worse. Oh and Necro Romancer :eek: , that’s an interesting name, ESPECIALLY in this topic, even more so since I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought (and still do) that that’s what Aurthor was going to turn out to be :dubious: .

Are any of you Buffy fans? Did you notice that Clitoris Poem Boy was Andrew?

What did people make of David getting a random blowjob from the plumber, and Keith totally not caring? Did I miss the episode where they reach some understanding about sex and monogamy being optional? Of course, they were doing threesomes for a while, so maybe they’ve decided not to worry about indiscretions anymore. I admit I was a little surprised by Keith’s blithe acceptance of David’s hook up, but hey, whatever works for them.

I thought it was pretty strange too. Keith seemed okay with it as long as David was on the receiving end. “And don’t think that means your getting out of having sex with me tonight”

I’ll have to go with the others here, I think Arthur did it. I instantly thought Arthur was the one and I was a little surprised that he wasn’t confronted.

Yup…Hehehe…

I’m not gay, but I am a “fag-hag” so I’m going to go out on a wild limb and guess that some gay men would not consider a random, non-reciprocated blow job to be cheating. Others would. (And perhaps some straight people might not consider non-reciprocated oral gratification to be cheating either.)

I was expecting Keith’s reaction because David was smiling as he told Keith, which implied to me, David knew Keith wouldn’t think too much of it. He was just being open so Keith wouldn’t find out later, because then that might feel like cheating. Just a WAG.

The Rapture scene was inspired by an Urban Legend. Here’s what snopes has to say:

:smiley:

Arthur is the most likely canddiate responsible for George’s package. In order for the poop to be intact like it was, the package would have to been hand placed at the door or it would have been all over the tupperware just due to handling.

Will Nate’s departure from the business open the door for George to move in? We know he’s good at funerals…

Damn, Nate sure has some dreams… I about busted a gut when Dorothy started flicking her tongue at him, not to mention riding his staff of life.

Poor Rico, one BJ and he’s hooked for a sugar daddy.

I haven’t seen this episode yet, but I have a theory on ol’ Georgie Boy. I think he was sent by the funeral corporation bitch so he could gain control of the business. Just my two cents…but I bet I’m right.

That was some grade A-nastiness, the blood spurting up from the kitchen sink and bubbling up in the drain downstairs. I hope it helps Claire break open her eye or whatever.

Can someone give me some detail on the Nate-Nathaniel conversation? I’m staying in a hotel at the moment and as the walls are ultra-thin, I had problems hearing much of the dialogue.

As soon as I saw the opening in the sex shop, I thought, “Surely they’re not going to do that stupid Urban Legend?” But they did.

Question: has anybody here ever inflated a standard sex doll with helium? I strongly suspect that the weight of the doll’s material would excede the lift provided by the helium – in other words, it wouldn’t have positive buoyancy, in which case the Urban Legend scenario is physically impossible.

I also didn’t really believe the blowjob scene – just because of what I imagine would be a horrendous stench in an embalming room the floor of which is covered in rotting blood.

If somebody’s on a 90-day chastity regimen because they’re in a treatment program for sex addiction, is it unethical to accept her invitation for sex? It might be like taking a bottle of scotch to an alcoholic.

Poor Rico has really walked into a trap. He’s got the guilt, expense and risk of having an affair, yet he’s not even having sex with the girl.

Okay, I took the trouble to do a little math, and the floating love dolls are definitely impossible, unless they’re using some amazing high-tech love doll material not available to the general public. At least, the lightest love doll I was able to find online had a shipping weight of 33 ounces. Cut that in half, you’ve still got a pound. So you’d need close to eight cubic feet of helium to lift that weight. A love doll’s gotta be under two cubic feet in volume.

So, they showed something physically impossible for the sake of a cheap joke – and it wasn’t even original. Seriously irritating, and not the first time they’ve shown an implausible death.

Good show with great characters, but sometimes stupid writing.
