@kittenbut1 Everything here points to David's fear of death.Their father asking,'Am I going to have to seperate you boys?'is about death seperating them.Nate fearlessly dives in the water- David won't go in.When their father says,'It's your choice',this means that though death is inevitable,we choose to embrace death,to dive in,as a part of life-or to be afraid. David says"We've been waiting for this our whole lives".From the moment wer'e born where else are we travelling to but closer to death?

@Shalikali beautiful take. Thank you.

As usual for 6'U, pitch perfect choice for music- Brothers Johnson Strawberry Letter #23. I wish the show had gone on for another 5 years...easily one of the best productions for television in the history of the medium.

@chriswright780 i wondered that too.
It's David's hallucination, not Nate's. David sees himself as he thinks his brother ideallly would have wanted him to be wanted him to be - free of all repression. The trip their father takes them on is the journey of life to death - the water represents dying. David is full of fear and doesn't want to go in - but Nate says, 'It's what we came here to do'. That is, we are born to die..it is part of life - embrace it - jump in...just my take anyway!

One of the many amazing scenes from this exceptional show. Starts out as Nate's dream, then becomes David's dream. Could be Nate's real death experience, or it could be just dream images caused by the sea sounds from the TV in the hospital room. Brilliant.
