Nip/Tuck Season 5-1/2 or 6?

I actually really enjoyed last night’s episode. It had it’s melodramatic touches, but it was actually fun. The totally stupid rap video was good for a laugh, the crazy chick slicing off her boob was so over the top I couldn’t stop laughing, and Christian hitting the bong and then Liz’s new hunk boyfriend walking in and shocking Christian were all great scenes. I wasn’t thrilled seeing Eden return with the “my mom actually shot you” story, but you can never go wrong with throwing ashes on people to generate some heat.

No show brings the crazy like this one.

So how does Julia remember that Portia DeRossi is her lover? Doesn’t she have memory loss? I really hate her character and MAtt as well. I would love to see them written out of the show completely. I don’t know why we still are forced to endure their presence. I can only hope Julia keeps her promise and moves to NY.

This last episode was actually quite good. From the white chick who thinks she’s black, to the lady slicing off her boob in the waiting room. What will they cook up next.

This show is starting to bug me enough that I might drop it. The white chick being the black chick at the beginning was TERRIBLE. I know it was supposed to be over the top, but it wasn’t funny. The only thing that got a tiny chuckle out of me was seeing that one blonde assistant singing the song to herself under her breath after the ass implant.

This episode also totally blew my previous post out of the water in regards to the Christian/Liz relationship. I thought Christian did her just because he knew he could and really wanted some poon. Nope, apparently sort of kind of loves her in his Christian way and she loves him back? Fuck that. Although, even with my complaints on that front, Christian’s current arc is 100x more interesting than what they have Sean doing right now. His shit’s a mess and boring to boot.

I liked that the crazy chick suggested the people sit on the other side just before she sawed her own tit off.

Oh yeah. And we are to understand that “last” season Julia gets shot and has memory loss. Immediately following this shooting Eve skips the freaking country and no one hears from her and NO ONE even considered the possibility that she was the one that shot Julia? What the hell?

Agree that Eve should have been considered a suspect from the very beginning. Its like the police in Nip/Tuck world don’t exist. WTF! Anyway, I agree that the show has lost all semblance of credibility. I also agree that Christian is the most interesting character. But his relationship with Sean is still intriguing to me. They need to jettison every regular character except them.

I could watch a show simply called Life of Christian, and we follow him around watching him bang hot chicks and dropping his ridiculous one liners and quips about his ten inch or magical cock.

The scene where he was sitting there stirring the coffee while wearing those huge hater blocker sunglasses during the cancer patient meeting had me laughing… he looked so over the top.

I hope this episode was a beginning of a return to form. No annoying Julia, no completely over the top patients, just good old personal drama. Raj’s destruction of his hand was brutal, even if we didn’t really see it. I love that we have THE Christian Troy back in the mix. Sean was even interesting again. I wish the entire teacher/student bit didn’t play out exactly like we knew it would from the first scene, but overall much better.

“What’s the scar on your chest from?”

“I got stabbed. Stopped a robbery.”

Awesome.

Man, I love this show. I don’t care how over the top or preposterous it gets, as I tend to view it as a latter day Melrose Place-style soap. Sad, but not surprising, to see Raj going crazy so quickly.

Next week: Bradley Cooper and Katee Sackhoff!

Funnest show going right now.

The best thing to happen would be Matt going out Shane Vendrell style.

Lets review class: The guy has fucked a transsexual, dated a white supremicst, had a kid with a porn star/crackwhore, been a crackhead himself, fucked his half-sister, almost starred in gay porn, caught on fire when his place blew-up, ruined the career of a 17 old Harvard Medical School Grad, and most recently failed to at trying to go to Med Schol himself. Am I missing something?

Matt’s life is a complete joke and Sean has legitimate cause to feel as such. Its really Matt’s best choice.

Kinda sucks that they finally flesh out Raj’s character then get rid of him. I had a feeling it was coming even though I was finally starting to like him. Oh well, good episode which really emphasized what a fucking loser Matt is and always will be.

Starbuck was looking goooooooooooooood.

Funny and yet disturbing episode. Aden was very entertaining as quircky actor and the guy with the giant penis problem was a good storyline with some great lines thrown in. How about Christian injecting the little one? Kimber should have been jetisoned along with Julia and her lesbian lover.

He also had a threesome with two girls, who dumped him for each other (not sure where that falls on the lame<->awesome meter).

Plus he looks like the spawn of Micheal Jackson and an elf.

Yeah, I’ve never found her attractive before this role. I guess I just find ‘happy lunatic’ sexier than ‘psychotic lunatic’.

Christian’s, “I got >< THIS close” killed me. As did Aden breaking his own neck. That was the funniest episode of any show (including comedies) in a long time.

I still say Kimber should’ve been The Carver’s sister. It would have rescued that storyline from the cliff it careened off, and either written Kimber off well or made her a truly interesting character to keep around.

I just think Kimber’s totally worn out her welcome. They’ve done almost everything imagignable with her character. What the hell is left? GEt rid of her or have her marry Christian. BTW, the previews for next week look interesting including one revelation that I find very hard to believe.

About Matt, you’re also missing:

-Badly botched self-circumcision

I also forgot to mention the apparent “love” he had for an Israeli whose face was disfigured by a bomb blast.

Bradley Cooper was great last week. Him wanting to get photographed next to the guy with the huge cock (Castiel from Supernatural!) gave me the first out loud laugh from this show the whole season.

Really though, they should have just ditched Julia, Matt and Kimber last season/beginning of this season when they moved away. Otherwise were going to have the whole fucking Sean/Julia/Christian triangle and Kimber cropping up to act like a cunt whenver the writers feel like it. The Hearts and Scapels stuff was over the top but at least it gave the show a different taste for a while. And yeah the memory loss stuff and Eden popping up for an entire minute was bullshit. And they haven’t mentioned it since I don’t think.

They doing one more season after this and ending it?

Gross, dude.

I’m just kidding. Poor tree-man.
