So Nip/Tuck stooped to bestiality - I shouldn't be surprised, but I AM! I sat there in utter disbelief as the husband talked about peanut butter and his wife getting her jollies...I just KNEW what was going to happen next. Nip/Tuck never ceases to amaze me.

I really really like the small guy (crap, I don't know what's PC here...and I can't remember his name...lol) - anyway I really like this guy and hope he stays around for awhile.

It was so great seeing Liz featured so prominently. I felt bad for her when she woke up to having her kidney cut out. The Michelle backstory is interesting too....I can't wait to see how this all plays out. I am pissed that Christian forced her to sleep with her though for his silence. Not surprised though...

How great was it to see Megan again!?! I loved her....Great 'high-dream' sequence for Sean and I'm so glad he ended up not doing anything with the girl again...

Looks like we see more Kimber next week - I'm looking forward to it.

I really did not like this episode.

- The beastiality thing was pointless, stupid, shock value. The thing I love about N/T is it always finds a way to incorporate the contraversy and shock value into its stories and have them serve a purpose. That was just dumb.

- The Liz thing was just kind of dropped.

- I thought the secret about the manager would be bigger than being a hooker. They set that up for a bigger bang.

- Kimber and Matt are/have been.......WHERE? Next week they just pop back in after missing for three weeks?

- Where was Mario Lopez!?

- Why have there STILL been no [!@#$%^&*] Christian and Julia scenes!?!

Last night's was a miss for me....after three really big hits.

The plus side was the Devil/Angel thing with Megan. I *LOVED* Megan!

The episdoe was a miss for me too Mike. There were a few parts I liked but the episode seemed too all over the place last night. I liked Liz being featured more, but again nothing seemed to go together last night. A better way for things would have somehow had Liz's kidney thing tie into the secret for her new boss (sorry I forgot her name).

Next week maybe some things will tie together as the blackmail starts but last night was a real miss for me.

There was so much character development, I'm surprised you guys didn't like it?

I thought overall it was an amazing episode. character driven, dark, disturbing and perfect lighting and directing.

I loved loved loved Julia and Myron's scenes. Julia's body's reluctance to bond with her beautiful child, and her attempts at self-assessment.

It was very interesting how Julia and Sean had the same response to Myron's mural in Conor's room, yet for entirely different reasons. "A perfect world ... just before the fall." Powerful stuff

Excellent writing and directing during the brownie trip. :wub: Megan...Am I the only one who thinks Escobar is hot? In a white trash, do me like an animal, gang member kind of way lol

My face hurt when James took the paperweight and hit that poor hooker in the face. She's one crazy bitch.

I was scarred for life seeing little Laura Ingles play a beastiality lover.

Oh and nice to see Marianne Meuerlie (Norma, PSNS) as the nanny at the beginning.

Still stand by my A+ rating for "Shari Noble"

I really think (hope) that the Liz thing and the Michelle/blackmail thing will still tie together eventually...There has to be something more than this 'escort' thing. Maybe Michelle was doing the same thing as the Kidney-cutter. She would have men pay for her sex, and then cut out their kidneys (I mean she did study to become a doctor) - so I'm guessing she could have been one of the types of chicks that cut out Liz's kidney.......therefore the overall blackmailing lord-boss lady was part of the Liz thing.

Make sense? Anyway I have a feeling this is how it might play out - or at least hope as it'd then tie together. WE'll have to see!

I thought the episode was fantastic! The only part that I hated was the beastiality part, mainly because it came out of left field and didnt fit with any story like others have pointed out. It was all just for shock and I hate that contrived [!@#$%^&*].

Yeah I didn't care for the beastiality story either, but the rest of the show was classic Nip/Tuck. So much in depth character drama instead of the usual T&A

TV.com's user rating for last nights eppy is at a 9.2/10 (highest rating in a long time)

Crazy episode, but i enjoyed it....First off, i'm so happy Liz is being used more..The bar pickup and kidney stealing was insane...BUt i can't wait for this organ stealing plot to unfold...

I"m very intrigued by Michelle's backstory..The actress fits so well with the cast....I felt bad for her when Christian basically blackmailed her into having sex with him..but hey there are much worse people you could have to have sex with...

Julia and Sean's story was heartbreaking tonight...Great scenes with Julia and the male nurse..and Sean's trip was great...Great to see the old faces..

Looking forward to next week with Rosie and the return of Matt and Kimber..

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • 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.
