I was impressed with this episode. This should have been the season opener. It had so many twists and turns.

I wonder what's happening with the boss lady. Is she being blackmailed by a former lover? Is this mystery woman someone that she used to love or someone she's always hated? Ooohhhh.....and Liz saw the whole thing. THTA should create some really good drama. I wonder whether or not Larry Hagman is going to re-appear this season.

Sean and Annie's blowout and subsequently..Julia and Annie's blowout really threw some good perspective into the show. Real family drama.

Matt and Kimber...one word: *vomits* Gross!

Thad did a really impressive job. I wasn't aware that he had such a great body. And as always, Christian was a complete jackass the whole episode. First, with the Blue Monday chick. Then, trying to coax Sean into cutting off Matt. Then again when he busted down Kimber's door. And lastly, with Thad's character.

I can't wait to see the fallout from the boss lady stuff. I can't wait to see Julia going into labor. From the looks of the previews, this may lead to a few complications.

What did yall think?

I thought it was a great episode but without the season premiere stuff the episode would have made no sense. So I feel both were needed. To even understand why Christian was all of a sudden even sort of attracted to Thad's character (and you could tell he was) you had to see the stuff he went through last week with the apartment and the stuff the psych told him.

I mean I am still reeling from that when he was so extremely homophobic last year - I mean to the full extent - even getting completely turned off when quentin reached over and just touched him during the foursome. So we needed the thing with the psychiatrist last week.

I am with Steve on this one, Christian needed to be shown having thoughts of another guy or at least someone telling him that what his problem with female relationships may actually be, which is being attracted to the same sex.

The episode rocked!

Thad has a nice ass and did a great job on the show, I was impressed.

I was shocked at the end! This show always has so many twists and turns. Who is this hot older lady coming on to the boss lady(whats her name, lol)? Why is this lady getting paid and making out with the boss lady. Then Liz happen to see and watch it all unfold, ah it was great. I dont like next week's previews though, showing Liz getting fired. I hope that isnt permanent.

Matt is such a fucked up character, I cant wait to see what he does next.

Next weeks show looks like another awesome show. Nip/Tuck rarely disappoints and tonight was no different.

Dude, Matt's been "almost 18" since freakin' SEASON ONE!!!

That 25 yr old actor does NOT pass as a teenager.

-Christian stuff was OK, mostly done for the shock value, but pretty good nonetheless.

-I'm enthralled by the effect Connor's birth defect is having on Julia, Sean and Annie. :(

Now this was a great episode of Nip Tuck...Loved the story with Thad's character...damm his butt looked hot..I was watching with a group of friends and one of the girls had us pause it so she could go lick the screen!!!!! I'm really enjoying this story of Christian's sexuality, such a great twist..and they can get so much material out of it..

The stuff with Annie and her hands/the dolls was so intense...Loving how this baby drama is playing out for Sean's family...

I was also so excited to see Kimber..love her..and i'm interested in this scientology story..Way to go Nip Tuck for attacking real social issues...

Finally the twist with the boss was pretty crazy...I'm wondering if the mystery lady might be Larry Hagman's characters first wife? who knows...this is Nip Tuck so anything is possible..And it was great that Liz saw..wonder if she got a little excited!!!!

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
