We're Not Over Six Feet Under

Jenna and Caroline discuss their final thoughts on Six Feet Under as a whole, its place in television history, and their experience making this podcast... and predict how some of the characters not featured in the finale die.

Jenna, Caroline, and special guest Meghan Deans discuss "All Alone," in which the Fisher/Chenowith family gives Nate the green funeral he wanted and grieves. David takes on too much responsibility, stops sleeping, and succumbs to panic attacks. Claire turns to Ted and finds a reserve of inner strength. Ruth spends a lot of time ranting in a bathrobe, then settles into the role of caretaker. Brenda is sidelined by everyone. George steps up in an unexpected way, and Maggie is an absolute nightmare, as usual.

Jenna and Caroline discuss "Ecotone," in which Nate is rushed to the hospital after collapsing at Maggie's, has brain surgery, and wakes up from his coma just long enough to end his marriage before dying.

Jenna, Caroline, and special guest Eric Shethar discuss "The Rainbow of Her Reasons," in which Sarah's friend Fiona Kleinschmidt dies and her friends hold a very feminist and witchy wake, Claire starts a temp job, Ruth tricks George into moving out, David and Keith continue to learn about parenthood, and Vanessa invites Rico to move back in after things go south with her odd Canadian nanny.

Jenna and Caroline discuss "Eat a Peach," in which Keith and David get duped by their surrogate and attend an adoption fair, Margaret ambushes Claire on Billy's behalf, Rico throws Vanessa under the bus when Julio bullies another boy, and Nate and Brenda discuss how to talk to Maya about Lisa.

Jenna, Caroline, and special guest Anita Flores discuss "Time Flies," in which Brenda learns that she's pregnant, Billy grows increasingly unhinged, David and Keith find a surrogate, and Nate fully loses his mind when a bird flies into the house during his surprise fortieth birthday party.

Jenna and Caroline discuss "Hold My Hand," in which George is haunted by memories of his mother, Rico and Angela have an utterly delightful fling at a conference, David and Keith run into some issues with the adoption agency, Ruth cuts Claire off from her trust fund, Billy makes terrible decisions regarding his medication, and Nate hangs out with Maggie.
