>>A great scene, in which Claire is telling Keith about Gabe; actually, what he says is "because she loves him" in answer to her brother's question about why she hangs out with this loser.<<<
oops, thanks fred...you are right about that scene (it came out backwards when i wrote it), keith just melted my heart & i think you are right about the child...& what a great dad keith would be...you could see it in david's eyes, that he really had fallen in love again ...my heart is breaking for gabe who keeps making his life worse but who is lots of kids who make bad choices under the influence...i hope they find a way to resolve this one in a life-affirming way (such as he didn't hit the person in the car & he goes to rehab instead of jail) >>(By the way, dig the juxtaposition with the film "Badlands.")<< hmmm...didn't see that film... >>>I guess this must sound like some kind of soap opera to someone who's never seen the show, but anyone who has seen it knows that it's a soap opera like no other. I love this show.<<< yes, it does probably seems like a soap opera to anyone who hasn't seen it...it is so brilliantly written & acted that the characters have become so real...there was a show that aired on tv quite a few years ago called My So Called Life, that I thought was excellent but it didn't last long...Six Feet Under reminds me a bit of that one...expecially the claire & gabe characters. (& (& don't you love watching Ruth, their mom, going through her self discovery...lol..) last week was the best episode yet, imo, (maybe i should join a six feet under chat group...lol...) did you know the series was created by the guy who wrote the screenplay for American Beauty? ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
