I was going to ask about this. I am liking the series so far. Matthew is playing such as dark role, I love it!! Woody is good too. I don't mind the anticipation of the show. I like it's building and not giving a new case each week.

Thank you for this, Dana Jean. I viewed this classic ending to Six Feet Under many times after it ended. What a beautiful way to see what happened to our beloved characters. Thank you for reminding me to view again. I wish Mr. Ball would come up with another good series.
Wasn't it the best ending ever? I just sobbed and sobbed. My kids were with me and just watching me. I think I had them a little shook up.

Back on track here -- so, what did you think of last night's episode? My thoughts:

I'm getting really tired of the sex stuff. I know I sound totally prudish, but I'm not. If the sex and nudity is important to a story, then it has to be there. It's the story. But when you add it just so Woody can grope another woman, stop. It insults my intelligence. And I do have some. HBO and Showtime have gotten it into their heads that just because they can, they should. They are likening nudity and sex with intelligent story telling. To me, it can be used to hide the weakness of the plot. And I'm getting really worried that this is what is happening here.

This show has so much potential, by now they should be picking up the pace and really pulling me in. How many episodes do they get for this season?

I am so sad to say - I had a busy night and didn't get to watch - so I'm avoiding this thread until I catch up. I dvr'd it, so I should be able to watch it tonight.

I really like the show, a lot, especially starting on episode three. As far as the sex stuff, it doesn't bother me. And it doesn't seem like a lot of sex scenes to me. ( Not much nudity at all, really, when compared to another favorite HBO show of mine.) Sex is a part of the plot, and I don't think the plot is weak at all.

Prudes! ;)
