Six Feet Under Ends

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 21, 2005

HBO’s Six Feet Under, as unique and as fascinating a show as any, broadcast it’s final show just a short bit ago. It was an interesting ending, as outlined in tomorrow’s New York Times:

As Claire drove east in a new car – bless her, she had totaled that hideous hearse in her accident – she let her mind wander. Into the young, agile mind came a premonition: everyone would die. Suddenly the show became a montage of the ways all the show’s remaining major characters would leave this world.

The Sidekick and I were half-expecting something else to happen – a fire that kills the family or a plane crash on the way to a vacation. But no, it was something far more normal… and human.

1776: The Battle of New York

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 21, 2005

The hour is fast approaching, on which the honor and success of this army, and the safety of our bleeding country depend. Remember officers and soldiers that you are free men, fighting for the blessings of liberty – that slavery will be your portion, and that of your posterity, if you do not acquit yourselves like men

[…]

Remember how your courage and spirit have been despised and traduced by your cruel invaders, thought they have found by dear experience at Boston, Charlestown, and other places, what a few brave men contending in their own land, and in the best of causes can do, against base hirelings and mercenaries.

– General George Washington, August 23rd, 1776
