Six Feet Under 1:8
It’s nice that the show labels the episode numbers itself. Because I didn’t blog about the last few, I forgot what number I was on!
I loved the relationship dynamics David had with everyone in this episode. It’s great to see him relaxing a little and showing the more human side. I think this episode did a lot to show the versatility of Michael C. Hall as well…but I am slightly biased due to my adoration of him.
Also, they made a reference to BTVS in this episode. They quickly compared it to Dawson’s Creek, but I will overlook that. No way will I ever admit that the two shows are anything alike. Full disclosure: I haven’t ever seen an episode of DC, but I don’t like anyone in it so I don’t think I need to.
One of my favorite things about this episode was that it became obvious to David that both his siblings know he is gay. And furthermore, they don’t care. Rather than denying it like he has previously, he goes with it and even lets Nate set him up on a date!
This should also be a lesson to you straight men – the gay can tell which team you play for, they aren’t likely to go for the ones who aren’t interested 
I do feel bad for Claire, she seems so lost. There are times when she reminds me of myself from high school, but at the same time, she’s so unsure of herself and I never really felt that way. I think it’s a genuine portrayal of someone in that age group, and that’s probably why it’s so tragic to me.
So, good episode!
