Thanks to my local public(are there any other kind,btw....lol) library i'm re-watching the first season, which i had never actually caught. I didn't start watching, or getting intto 6FU, until around the end of season 2....
Knowing how attached i became over time, it's so interesting to see how the show has dveloped...
What 'tricks' and aspecs it 'let go' of (those thin, silly-ish advertisments for funerary products...), but also how it REALLY became an amazing exploration of the same few charecters it had at the outset.....
I am struck by the episode titled "Familia" .....
Absolute usual genuis level mix of all the best ... i wound up laughing as tears rolled down my cheeks ...
It just strikes me sometimes how insightful some writers/directors can be with the charecters they use....
How David was impressed and changed by his 'interactions' with the dead Paco...
"Familia" has pretty much jumped to the head of my fave episode list...
What 'sodes head your list ...?

Re: Most 'Powerful' episode ever ...
Wed, September 20, 2006 - 4:38 PMMost Powerful Episode ever? For me it's a three way tie.
Ï'm sorry I'm lost~ Every scene is amazingly poignant. Claires trip through "heaven"and reuniting with Gabrial who went missing season two and in season one lost his brother who shot himself accidentally. Then Lisa with Claires aborted child which was subject to many a debate about whether that episode was alluding to fetus's having souls...anti-abortion? dunno. Then there was Ruths wedding...which was amazing...Claire having gone through all this emotional pain...some of it secret just broke down and cried and only we knew that those were not only tears of joy ...but tears of pain and it was her breaking...her time to just break down but no one was the wiser. Something so open can also be something so private. There are a SLEW of scenes there...the episode itself is perfect. Even a smaller scene in which David has a discussion with Father Jack.
and of course...the last scene of Nate... RUNNING.
The Episode when Nate is in the bed with the Cancer patient as he's dying...and the dying guy says... Ï don't see any light!!!" woah! all the way up to the empty bus fantasy sequence.
and of course....
Season fives Finale. enough said.

Wed, September 20, 2006 - 4:49 PMand...ya know as i look back on it...the spisode where Nate was present, holding this man hé died was driving force through Nate Fishers entire story arch...even present when he died in Ecotone.
Oh how miss new episodes of my baby....around this time of year we would be looking forward to the season finale if were still going.
