I think David and Nate were having the same dream, only David didn't dream himself as a stoner... or maybe David is like "finishing where Nate left off" metaphorically.
When I first saw this on TV I had never seen Six Feet Under before, but I just had to see the series after this, because even without any context to what is going on, this scene is still ... eerie. It doesnt really make much sense, its absurd even, exactly like a dream - the way Nate has to be woken up to go on a trip they have been "waiting for their whole lives", just like that. Once they get there, Nate just goes for a swim. The tiers screech on the sand, the streets seem to be empty .. weird
I loved watching Hall as a pothead. And I watched all 5 seasons. It really felt like losing a member of the family. It was heartbreaking. And that finale--holy jesus.
I;m never bothered when someone dies, what gets to me is everyone thats left behind to mourn. When they start showing Brenda having to talk to Maya about her father, that's when the waterworks started for me. It breaks my heart that Nate will never be with his little girl in this life
I think Nate never could really deal with the problem he felt, he wanted to live life to the fullest, but a part of him understood that family and starting a family and than maintaining was also very important, but the two were incompatible, in part I think is aneurysm was caused by this clash of impulses.
I just saw Nate Die 2 nights ago(HBo series repeats)...I saw EVERY great show...I am heartbroken...the last 2 days,i keep saying to myself..(I cannot believe Nate died)...I feel like i lost a great friend.....its a said day...Also Nate feel deep into the coma & died,Davis woke up from that same dream....Wow very powerfull!!!!
Losing Nate was like losing a member of my own family. Without a doubt the most heartbreaking character death in the history of television. I mourn his loss as I would anyone else's.
That's pretty fucked up and pathetic that you would mourn the death of a fictional T.V. character on a fictional T.V. show as though it was one of your own family. No doubt that this was one of the best shows on television, but to say something as pathetic and attention seeking such as that, well, you either have issues or you're an emotional troll. Get real.
If Alan Ball were to write and produce a prequel to the series, I'll be first in line. Imagine a 90 minute prequel to Six Feet Under that follows Nathaniel Sr. and family.
@snapsoidpablo1 Oh god, YES please! I guess technically you shouldn't mess with a masterpiece (as Six Feet Under was) but I'm selfish and want more. I keep wondering what the show would be like if it were still around today.
@HyunBinSongHyeKyo Yeah they do. I think that Nate is seeing the David that would have been if David hadn't had to deal with being gay and being bullied as he was younger, and what their relationship would be without any of the pain in their past, which is why they're so happy. Nate seems to finally be happy with having found peace with Maggie so dives into the ocean/goes into the light. It switches over to David when his suit is back on. Some kind of Parallel Universe thing
Who could bear to watch their sibling die? The person who shares all of your childhood memories and was always there even if you were beating each other to a pulp? I selfishly pray to die before my sister.
@TheBunnyist I agree. I just got done watching the entire show from beginning to end and even though I knew it was coming, I didn't think it would be until the last episode so I was shocked when he died.
peter krause is the greatest actor on tv... the guy created a legend in the character of nate fisher... his acting style is completely different from anything that ive ever seen and his naturalism is scary.... and i also have to add that michael c hall is a monster. his little stoner impression here is spot on.
When is another series with the quality and characters of SFU coming our way. Today because my cable programming is so bad I find myself going to reruns on HBO on demand of this incredible series.
I love how its basically BOTH of their dreams. It starts out being Nate's but then David wakes up from it. Chilling. Also...did David used to look like that or is that just a thought in Nates head?
I like the way David says "You are so toasted man." It was a accurate moment for anyone that has shared a certain agricultural product with someone else..
I was a huge fan of SFU when it aired but i managed to miss this episode on it's original transmission. Although it was only 5 years ago there was nowhere near as many ways to catch up on the TV you missed at least that i knew of. I do get attached to TV characters so i was really annoyed to see the next episode and learn he'd died it was a gut wrenching feeling. SFU is one of the best TV shows I've ever seen i think I'll buy or borrow it to watch it all again,
@biasdad Don't I know it; just hit 44. How did that happen?! It's scary sometimes. I really liked this scene using the song Strawberry Letter 23 (it's the song on my page here and source of my username) because it evokes feelings of youth and freedom. I love when Nates says, "This is what we came here to do!" I think that meant we're hear to enjoy life. But do we?
It was my impression that the water represented death. Christian philosophy aside, some would say dying is the meaning of life, as it gives life meaning. Remember what Nate said to Tracy Montrose Blair in season 1?
@electric947 Me too. These are just fictional characters in a TV show but I still felt like someone I personally knew in real life died and I felt like mourning for like... a whole fucking week. This show was so good because normally TV/movies never does has that big of an effect on me.
I think somewhere on HBO website it was mentioned this was a dream both David and Nate had simultaneously. It's eerie how you can hear the flatline as soon as Nate disappears into the water.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Too bad David was such a flaming ass bandit. I love Dexter and then someone told me about six feet under and i thought they were joking. Then I saw him tongue kissing the Chocolate Bunny, OMG, LOL, What's up with that Micheal C. Hall. Now I know how you got Cancer.
@PRE1959 Um... it was just a fictional character he was playing and Michael C Hall did a fine job. He's got more talent in his tiny fingernail than you'll ever hope to have.
@amandaNO457 me too! I liked the way they ended it also...everyone's life in progression and how things ended for them too. One of my favorites scenes was the "union" of life and death. (I think it was season two but it was a funny scene)
@stipV I was lovin it. Nate was a dirty Scumbag with no Balls and Brenda was right about him. A Narcissistic Bastard who wasn't capable of Love. What a sham when he acted like a Quaker. My wife and me were laughing cause in the Quaker meeting it was obvious he just wanted into Maggies Pant's. Brenda wasn't much to look at, but OMG Maggie was a real "Tire Biter". Did you check out the Snoz on her?
This makes me wanna pack up my stuff say 2 hell wit everything Wife kids etc, and go to California and hit the beach, and smoke and drink the rest of my life away. WORD!!! matter of fact to hell wit packin' my stuff, i'll go with just the stuff i got on.
After SFU was through I threw my TV away and since then I feel releaved,I care about life instead of having this constant distraction that kept me from thinking freely about anything at all.If you get the message,the true sense/moral behind this show you'd fkng do the same thing.If not you may still 'like' SFU,but you never really LOVED it to the point where it actually touched your heart & soul;period.
After SFu I became a huge Lost fan because it brought the same psychological and drama effect that SFU did. I cried even more with the ending of Lost but you have to admit that the producers revisited somehow SFU.
@NestingSpider - Who says that stoner David is straight? That is YOUR interpretation, not something that Nate says or does. He's seeing David as relaxed and easygoing, not the uptight jerk he thought David was--THAT's the difference. He could still be gay--I've known plenty of gay stoners.
Besides, it's a shared dream. (I think the producers have said so.) It ends when DAVID wakes up. It starts with Nate, ends on David's perspective--thus, a shared dream. Not "Nate's 'perfect' world" at all.
@NestingSpider I think that was part of the show's meaning.
Nothing in Nate's personal life was going right. He wasn't perfect and wasn't supposed to be. You will notice that he lived with a lot of guilt e.g. never really committing to Lisa completely and lots of things.
But he did move back home to be with family after his dad died because his mother asked him to. He helped David free himself of self-hatred. He discovered his calling i.e. a gift for consoling people at the funeral home.
@NestingSpider You're right about Nate. That's why the show was so compelling. I think it's great that Nate was flawed. The show would've been too generic if the main name character [Nate] was a total "good guy". He's complex. Nate reminds me of men...actually people I've encountered in life.
MCH is such an incredible actor. The stoner David seems like a completely different character, and then you watch Dexter and it's WOAH...is this the same person?
Fantastic scene, like all the "dream" scenes in the series, specially with their father. Extremely talented actors, the three of them. And Frances Conroy also, of course.
umm hate to break balls but this is davids dream. hes asleep next to his brother. i believe but im not sure that this is davids brain telling him that his brothers gone. "Why dont you join him"
I got this feeling that in 3:00 Nates dream sort of transfers into Davids head. They are in the same place in the same situation, and when before Nate sees David as this laid back rasta dude after this David sees him as himself. And when he wakes up he realizes what does the running towards the ocean mean.
i think one of the best things about this scene is just the white screen at the end.. you feel so much emotion watching nate die and then as soon as the famous white screen the the name comes up its overwhelming so amazing how something so simple can be so affective
I don't know if you remember the scene in the following episode when Claire goes to Nate's burial plot at night and flips the green hearse ? The screen went white when that happened and I SCREAMED at the television "NOOO ! DON'T DO THIS TO ME !!!" But her name and dates didn't pop up....
damn spoilers!! lmao jk if anyone watched the show they'd know that this was going the happen the show was about death... I havent seen the entire series but thats ok watching the clips just makes me want to see it that much more, either way all u ppl bitching about spoilers get over it...ur the ones who came on utube and looked this shit up
you know, this was one of the first episodes i saw, but istill watched and loved the series from beginning to end. plus its no secret. everyone dies, eventually.
IMO that it wasn't until Nathaniel died and Nate came back and accepted him for being gay that David was finally able to be himself ... "Where's your suit, I'm wearing it"
Once Nate hits the water, David is back in his funeral attire, with Nathaniel haunting him as usual. After this, David has a nervous breakdown, because in a way, Nate was his rock, the brother he never really had, who came back to help him, died.
Yeah. It also reminds me that great and beautiful scene, in the 2. season, where Nate alredy knows that he's dying, and he's standing at the shore. With his clothes on, he walks into the water, towards, against the waves, and after they slowly swallow him, we see that he just imagined it, still standing on the shore. I think to Nate: this final dream was about letting it go. All the fear, all the fights, everything. Just peaceful acceptance.
Actually, it was never determined that Nate actually was Maya's father. It could have been Lisa's brother-in-law with whom she'd been having an affair.
What upset me about this episode was how hurt Brenda was when Nate broke up with her after all they had been through.
well...its was somehow determined who is Maya's father......at Nate and Brenda's wedding, Brenda see's Lisa and brigns up the thing about her brother-in-law....and Lisa specifies "it was more a spiritual relationship" ....that somehow explains things
@anglicansag I think that Lisa knew who was the father of her unborn child! If she wouldn't know, she will not came to Nate. Anyway i don't think that she was so desperate to lie to him just to have him beside her!
This scene isn't Nate's last dream. This is David's dream as evidenced by the "wanna try some crack" at the end of it. Furthermore, Nate's dreams with the brain haemorrhage are all fucked up and weird like his previous dream.
Love the van, an old cargo van with wood paneling and home made couch/bed with the curtains mom made, along with the wood consoles and trim dad made. This is what a van should look like for this shot, not a corporate made conversion van that is half made of plastic.
This scene is amazing especially from a directorial standpoint. The shot of the three standing at perfect angles after getting out of the van with Nate in the front, David in the middle and Nathaniel in the back is awesome. And then the color tinting change when (IMO) it changes to David's part of the shared dream is all kinds of amazing.
yeah, i know. you feel like you ACTUALLY lost someone really close to you. and when youre watching his funeral, its as if you're really there, grieving with the rest of the Fishers. best show ever.
When Nate died and the screen fades to white, it was like someone hit me in the stomach with a shovel. I can't say enough about this show, one of the best dramas ever. I'll never understand how HBO comes up with such great material.
I think David and Nate were having the same dream, only David didn't dream himself as a stoner... or maybe David is like "finishing where Nate left off" metaphorically.

"Where's your suit?"
"I'm wearing it, dude"
MCH is such an incredible actor. The stoner David seems like a completely different character, and then you watch Dexter and it's WOAH...is this the same person?

Fantastic scene, like all the "dream" scenes in the series, specially with their father. Extremely talented actors, the three of them. And Frances Conroy also, of course.
Yes, shared dream.

I got this feeling that in 3:00 Nates dream sort of transfers into Davids head. They are in the same place in the same situation, and when before Nate sees David as this laid back rasta dude after this David sees him as himself. And when he wakes up he realizes what does the running towards the ocean mean.

i think one of the best things about this scene is just the white screen at the end.. you feel so much emotion watching nate die and then as soon as the famous white screen the the name comes up its overwhelming so amazing how something so simple can be so affective
ollyoslo 2 years ago 8
I don't know if you remember the scene in the following episode when Claire goes to Nate's burial plot at night and flips the green hearse ? The screen went white when that happened and I SCREAMED at the television "NOOO ! DON'T DO THIS TO ME !!!" But her name and dates didn't pop up....

I so remember Claire flipping the hearse...they used that fade to white very well in that series to fake us out.

IMO that it wasn't until Nathaniel died and Nate came back and accepted him for being gay that David was finally able to be himself ... "Where's your suit, I'm wearing it"
Once Nate hits the water, David is back in his funeral attire, with Nathaniel haunting him as usual. After this, David has a nervous breakdown, because in a way, Nate was his rock, the brother he never really had, who came back to help him, died.
8bitownsyou 2 years ago 4
Yeah. It also reminds me that great and beautiful scene, in the 2. season, where Nate alredy knows that he's dying, and he's standing at the shore. With his clothes on, he walks into the water, towards, against the waves, and after they slowly swallow him, we see that he just imagined it, still standing on the shore. I think to Nate: this final dream was about letting it go. All the fear, all the fights, everything. Just peaceful acceptance.

This episode made me cry so much because all I could think about was how Maya had lost both her parents.
tajmabruno 2 years ago 2
Actually, it was never determined that Nate actually was Maya's father. It could have been Lisa's brother-in-law with whom she'd been having an affair.
What upset me about this episode was how hurt Brenda was when Nate broke up with her after all they had been through.
anglicansag 2 years ago 7
I know that true paternity of Maya was never determined however either way her biological father is deceased.
tajmabruno 2 years ago
well...its was somehow determined who is Maya's father......at Nate and Brenda's wedding, Brenda see's Lisa and brigns up the thing about her brother-in-law....and Lisa specifies "it was more a spiritual relationship" ....that somehow explains things
demonik23 2 years ago
@anglicansag I think that Lisa knew who was the father of her unborn child! If she wouldn't know, she will not came to Nate. Anyway i don't think that she was so desperate to lie to him just to have him beside her!

This scene isn't Nate's last dream. This is David's dream as evidenced by the "wanna try some crack" at the end of it. Furthermore, Nate's dreams with the brain haemorrhage are all fucked up and weird like his previous dream.

Love the van, an old cargo van with wood paneling and home made couch/bed with the curtains mom made, along with the wood consoles and trim dad made. This is what a van should look like for this shot, not a corporate made conversion van that is half made of plastic.

breakfastclub75 2 years ago 7
This scene is amazing especially from a directorial standpoint. The shot of the three standing at perfect angles after getting out of the van with Nate in the front, David in the middle and Nathaniel in the back is awesome. And then the color tinting change when (IMO) it changes to David's part of the shared dream is all kinds of amazing.
