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!!!!

    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
    • Maybe Guza is becoming Y&R Head writer and Jilly will be named EP! Remember CBS installed Latham as consultant and later Mal Young, both of whom took over the show. Of course, they each got credit during the consulting days.
    • Don't forget Carrie, who as Carrie2 was screwing everything in pants, and PPD Reva, who to either get back at Josh for his supposed affair with Vanessa (or just to prove she's more desirable than Van) tries to screw half the male population.
    • Post-production isn't exactly akin to sweeping the floors, but it makes more sense given her CV.  And, it would invalidate any concerns that she has an undo influence on the creative process, as opposed to visual and sound design of the show.  In fact, given her interests, it makes sense that she would want to consult and see the impact of newer technology in a post-production facility.  I could only imagine how much has changed in sound technology since she worked on SB, and that might be intriguing to utilize. As well as their impending move (not as soon as B&B, but we all know it will happen) and helping set up post-production at the new facility. 
    • The last five or so episodes of season 8 after the Jean Hackney story ended were pretty strong with the Laura/Val friendship breakdown, Ben's PTSD with Val trying to help him, and the start of Jill realizing that Val was as much of a threat to her happiness with Gary as Abby was. I always thought that the Jean Hackney story should have ended at mid season at the latest... and then deal with the fall-out because seeing Ben/Val switch roles with Ben in mental decline instead of Val would have been interesting to explore.  And seeing Val and Laura's friendship suffer also was interesting and should have been explored especially with Karen caught in the middle and Abby both intrigued and amused at the conflict that she didn't cause. However, season 8 was the only Latham run season where Val was well written.  
    • Well, she's not in there sweeping the floors at the end of the night, and you don't bring in an award-winning producer to just sit on their backsides (or hey, maybe you do!). Again, without knowing the specific capacity she's in there working as⏤and it seems as if we are not going to at the present time⏤it's hard to speculate/discuss. I would interpret she's in a role that either would not require being credited, or she's, as others have speculated, is back and not receiving credit for the work she's done. That'd be like saying, per the WGA, all writers must be credited, but as we've seen by those who've worked as fi-core, they don't always receive credit.

       And, if my research is correct, per the DGA, you can request not to be credited for work you do. I could only assume the same would be for the PGA, as well.
    • When Anita read Barbara's letter, it started out with the viewers hearing it in Barbara's voice as Anita read silently. And then Anita saying the next portion aloud while Barbara's voice continued simultaneously. And then ending with Anita alone saying the last part aloud. Excerpt from interview  (link to full interview) The rest may be spoilerish -- Only the nonspoiler part here: I love the idea of reading that letter,” shares Tunie. “And at one point in the script, I think it said that my voice joined her, and [Anita] started reciting the letter from memory because [she] memorized this letter. I suggested to Steve Williford, our director, ‘What if it’s like that moment in Hamilton when Hamilton is writing the resignation letter to George Washington, and then he starts saying it too, and then Hamilton’s voice fades away, and then it’s all George. What if we do something like that?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, my God! I just got chills. Let’s do it!’ So, we did it.” I understood that it worked really well, so I’m really happy about that.”  
    • I think MVJ and Guza made a good team in the launching of the soap, and I'm hoping that the rotation of all stories and characters is maintained once he officially departs from the credits. And so far, Ron C's breakdowns have been decent... but they pop only when he's paired with a good script writer like Jazmin.   I hope once Guza leaves officially... that MVJ is able to reign in Ron C and the dread Jamey G.
    • I read that, but my interpretation was that she is uncredited because it is in a non-production capacity.  In others words, she's not secretly producing, or writing, as some had speculated prior to the confirmation. Her likeliest position would be in a post-production consultant capacity. I assume we agree on this?
