Yeh the ending is the pnly thing I can recall that was real tear jerker stuff in anything I have ever seen, and Sia's Breathe Me was perfect. I especially lost it seeing (Charles?) the black dude, run out and catch the football and look back at Michael Halls character.
For me it hit home about how I just always view people older than me, especially grand parents and I just cant imagine them as being young, or my age and full of life; healthy, fit. In the greater scheme of things life happens in the blink of an eye and you dont realise how quickly it passes. Its hard to imagine myself or my friends being older, more frail.....it must seems like an existence that happens to other people, but it happens to everyone and in this weird way I just see a disconnect between the person who is young and that same person as they get older. The easier way to explain it is when I look back at myself when I was a teenager in highschool I often wonder if I really am that same person. I can recall being that person, but when I look back and see that person now I also wonder what that person would think seeing me, or basically themselves, now. When I see a lot of friends on facebook now even I dont see the oerson they are now, they're still the same people as when I last saw them in person in highschool. They'll sort of always be that person because I dont know who they are now, I can see them on facebook, grown up, kids, married, but somehow to me, that isnt really them.
That ending that made me think about aging a lot. Who we were, who we are and who we become. They just feel like different people even though they are all of course the same person, but in some other ways, they aren't.
But anyway, nack to the show, I really grew to hate Nates character. He just turned out to be such a dick and hurt so many people around him, I kind of didnt really feel sorry for him in the end.

I chose to interpret the ending as Claire's imagining of how everyone's life will pan out as opposed to how they actually died. Did the creator actually comment on it?
I just watched the entire series in the space of 6 weeks with my girlfriend. Great show, almost certainly makes my top 10. The ending didn't hit me particularly hard, but the loss of Nate did.
Best finale of all time goes to The Shield for me.
