Nip/Tuck Season 4

I get it, I just don’t like it.

While Ava was a predator of young boys, I think the show did a good job of showing that her behavior was a consequence of her stunted emotional growth and that she wasn’t inherently a bad person, she just needed psychological help. In any case, I think the way Christian is acting is certanly a realistic one, particularly in terms of a guy who is sexually confused and doesn’t want to admit he may have feelings for same sex individuals.

I understand what you’re saying, but I’d just like to see more gay and bi characters on tv whose problems aren’t related to their sexuality. I also tire of seeing characters going from straight, to gay, and then back again so often. The time when just having gay characters on a show, but not doing a lot with their storylines was good enough has passed for me.

I hear ya. I’m surprised you haven’t commented on the fact that Liz’s storyline this week. Instead of the show allowing her to hook up and be done with it, they had to make her lover a kidney thief (or at least the bait).

What the balls is going on? The only thing crazier than this episode was the promo for next week’s episode. Somehow they’ve come up with a way to up the ante, and that seemed impossible. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing, or if the show is rocketing over the shark, but it’s entertaining.

Still, not enough Dinklage.

I thought this was going to be mainly a fluff episode (as fluff as this show could get), but the stuff with Christian this week was really good.

At least we know that the Liz incident was actually part of a recurring storyline.

Oh yes… and that too. It took me by surprise, I must say. But it makes sense now that I think back on it.

SPOILER

I thought you were kidding. I really didnt think he was going to do it! That had to be the most expensive lay in history!! Thats one thing you have to say for this show, its always got something to shock you with.
The scientology stuff really weirds me out as well. Matt just keeps making stupid decision after stupid decision but I mean who could turn down anything Kelly Carlson was offering you? I was a bit dissapointed his scientology buddies saved him from the debrainwashing (is that even a word?). Does anyone think Matt and Kimber are going to get together or will Matt eventually realize shes really gone off the deep end?

I’m actually surprised at how far they’re taking the Scientology plotline, and with the way things are going, they’re probably going to take it a whole lot further. And I haven’t heard anything about it yet, which is also surprising. Also really liked Carlson’s line about Julia’s ring.

And no, I don’t think I could turn down whatever Carlson was offering…

I’m betting he’ll make his move and she’ll reject him. Kimber sincerely believes she’s helping Matty out. And there’s nothing to suggest, she digs him in the slightest. So far, it’s been completely one-sided (and the side is his).

My favorite line in this past Tuesday’s episode:
“I wouldn’t even sit on the same toilet seat as you for $100,000.”

I highly doubt she was screwing the dog, but letting it lick peanut butter off her breast is still pretty frickin’ disturbing.

Matt leading the hired guns after him into his religious sect was fucking stupid.

Christian fucking Rosie was way funnier then it should have been and totally I lost it when Sean, all calm, when talking about Matt said “Atleast he’s not dating nazi’s or transsexual’s anymore”.

I’m sure the dog was licking more than that…

That daughter had a nice bum.

And I loved Rosie’s performance in this episode. It’s probably the best thing I’ve seen her do.

I am really having a hard time believing that Matt (the actor who plays him is almost 30) is still in high school.

WTF?!

Classic Lasardo! The guy steals every scene he’s in. J.R. and Brooke Shields are all fucked up.

Brooke Shields is one messed up tramp. I thought she was a one-episode guest star, but apparently she’s the screwy gal for this season.

Got to watch out for those buses. Deus Ex Machina, indeed.

Sean is one messed up guy.

I’m getting annoyed with the show again. Sean and Christian do enough fucked up things to their own lives without needing to have psycho stalkers plotting against them. I was happy they finally ended the babysitter nonsense and then, bam, they thrown in the psycho shrink. Ya basta!

Also, apparently getting your kidney removed doesn’t need a long recovery time.

Agreed. I heaved a sigh of relief when that bus finally hit (is it sad that I’ve been conditioned to expect a “shocking” car accident any time anyone is having a conversation in a car or the street?), only to give a sigh of frustration when we saw Faith in the tattoo parlor.

Quite frankly, I’m not buying the true love! thing going on between Michelle and Christian. They’re both smokin’ hot, and there’s lots of sexual chemistry… but I don’t feel an emotional connection between the two. I still feel like Michelle is being disingenuous and I haven’t quite figured out if Christian has latched onto her because he’s still trying to work through his orientation issues?

Anyway, I’m thinking this would be a perfect time for Ava Moore to visit Miami - she could talk some sense into Matt, I think. Or heck, even Gina to make an appearance. I’m missing the snark…
