the awesome/terrifying freedom

during the final sequence on the six feet finale.. that anthony turns out to be gay and has an asian boyfriend with him at claire's wedding? awesome.

despite the fact that the family obits are all posted on the official site, i still believe that this sequence was entirely claire's fantasy. ruth tells her 'i hope you are filled with hope..' claire drives off, and as the flash forwards roll, we continue to cut back to shots of claire driving - and as she drives faster, the clips move further and further into the future. claire imagines hopeful futures for all of them. only keith meets true tragedy, but still after he's much older and the kids have grown up.. and it allows david to be greeted by keith just before he dies. and claire hopefully imagines that she will reunite with ted at her mother's funeral..

god it's weird to think that, if all goes well, i probably won't die until about 2060-something. 2060! can you fucking imagine what the world will be in 2060!? imagine the difference between 1875 and 1960. now apply that to the current exponential advancement in technology. holy crap. holy fucking crap.
