So last night's Nip/Tuck was ok - slow and sometimes boring - but ok.

I LOVED how we finally got an insight into Sean's past - and with him having a birth defect and using plastic surgery to help himself - makes this entire Connor story so much better - bc you can now understand and feel for Sean's perspective. I also really like the babysitter guy - I can't remember his name.

I thought Mo'nique was great in those finals scenes where she was calm and not trying to be funny. Usually I think she's really funny - but in the beginning of the episode it all seemed forced.

The funeral and all that was sad - I'm happy she got to sing in her dreams I guess one last time.

Anyway - next week's looks GREAT - back to the craziness aspect of Nip/Tuck!

I pretty much agree with everything you said. The flashbacks to Sean's past were interesting, and I guess it was nice to see Mrs. Grubman return and have a true ending to her story.

This really seemed like a one-off episode, though. If it hadn't revolved around Conor's surgery and progressed the Julia/Marlowe relationship, it could have been from any period. Weird. I hate their pacing sometimes -- they rushed Christian/Michelle and then there are weeks where he doesn't even acknowledge that she exists.

That boy that called Conor a "crab boy" is the same kid that plays the recurring racist bully on "Everybody Hates Chris." As soon as I saw him, I knew he was going to be trouble. LOL! He must be type-casted.

I hated some parts and loved others. It was a weird episode for me. That never happens.

LOVED: The Grubman (first half), Sean's past

HATED: Still no character interactions we should be getting, backburnered Matt, Julia/The Manny, The Grubman stuff (twrds the end)

It really is beginning to feel like this is the last season or that it maybe should be. It had a weird feel to it last night.

i was hoping they wouldn't go the Julia/the nanny route...sorry to say but its just gross...If Julia knew about Sean's affair, maybe i would feel better about it...

i didn't really care for last nights episode..probably my least favorite of the series...But it was nice getting insight on Sean's past..Now we understand why he likes to do so much pro-bono work..

I thought that this Sean stuff was just created out of thin air personally. I just never saw him as the ugly guy or as defected. Geeky yes but no to the other stuff. I liked the flashback stuff and I guess it makes sense now that Matt's side of the family is virtually never seen. But I just felt it was forced.

The flashbacks were probably the best stuff about the episode even thou it seemed all bits of contrived for me. The father and the mother were really great and the last shot into Sean's past revealing his face was the best part because it seemed so 80's horror movie like to reveal it at the last second.

I didn't care for the rest of the show. Sean and Connor scenes were cute. That baby didn't seem to be in any pain at all.

I can't help but think Julia is a hypocrite for saying she will take the kids if he cheats on her yet it's okay for her to make out with the nanny and for the nanny to pervertly watch her hile she is breast feeding. Julia looked pretty in this episode thou. Much more viberant in this eppie for some reason.

This season hasn't been all that great. I think that season 2 and season 3 were pretty. I was interested from beginning to end of those seasons but this one seems especially slow.

I am just tired of everybody sleeping with everybody, its too much. I know Marlowe seems to be the voice of reason, but that doesnt mean Julia should want to screw him because of that. I dont like where this is going at all.

I hated that there was no brooke shields(whats her characters name?), Michelle and james. I want to know more about there characters, especially James. I think christian is out of his legue with James, he better watch out. I thought the episode was very slow. I hate to say it but having babies and weddings really kill shows, maybe they should have waited till the last season to have a baby or is this the last season?

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
