I could've SWORN there was a thread already, but I can't find it. I just finished it after a marathon of about two weeks or so and I feel like babbling on about it
This is just such a beautiful TV show. Yes, there are certain storylines I've never been a fan of and some seasons are weaker than others, but STILL. It tackles so many important things, most obviously death and not taking one's life for granted. I always cry my fucking eyes out during the last episode seeing the deaths of these characters whose lives I've invested so much time/emotion in... but I also feel like it adds, as I described to a friend, some oxygen to my "carpe diem" spark. It makes me grateful for what I have, what I've done... and also evaluate where I am and where I'm going. It makes me ask if I'm living my life in the way I want to be and if not- what can I do to change that? Life is so fucking short... and after finishing it about an hour ago, despite doubts and anxieties I often have, I do feel happy with the way I am living my life- my decisions, the people I am surrounded by (both in body and spirit), and so on.
But enough about me. Since it's fresh in my mind I want to share...
Some of my favorite deaths/funerals:
"Eat a peach" guy
"Drive to his own funeral" guy
Hardcore Christian woman who thinks loose helium-filled blow-up dolls are angels and runs into traffic
Guy who dies laughing in his partner's arms surrounded by friends/family
Porn star electrocuted by her cat in the bathtub
The Santa Claus biker funeral
Other things I love:
The occasional Ruth outburst
Billy's bipolar freakouts
The ecstasy in the aspirin bottle
Tons of gay sex
Shit in the mail
Aunt Sarah and Bettina
Joe (he's so adorable; why does Brenda have to be such a dumbass?)
Things I hate:
Brenda's mom
The Rico/Infinity storyline
Okay, that's it for now
Discuss.
