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..

    • 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?
