WTF has happened to my show. This season started out just great and the last 2 weeks have been awful. I actually enjoyed last weeks a little better than this weeks. Tonight's show was a big BORE!!!!!!!!

I have always hated how the writers of Nip/Tuck drop things for several weeks and then go back to them. They did that alot with the Slasher story, but 2 weeks ago the show went off with the black girl killing her husband and taking his kidney. Now for 2 weeks it has not even picked back up with her at all. Damn I want to know what happened with that story.

Also what happened to the Christian exploring his possible gay side and feelings for Shawn. It was heavily loooked at the first few weeks, and then just dropped. It is like who was writing the show the first part of the season is not even writing anymore.

When the show came back this year, for the first time since season 2 I was watching both episodes on Tuesday night just in case I missed something, and then tuning in again on Sunday night.

Well I definitely didn't last week, and definitely won't be this week.

At least the preview for next week shows to be a little more exciting, but tonight and last week just stunk to high heaven.

I assumed these past two episodes was so they could write Julia out?

The rest of the season sound horrible! I wonder if Ryan Murphy had some other people writing the show the last 6 episodes of the season? :unsure:

Episode 4.12 - Corrine Lubey: This episode features Beatrice Mason a wife and mother in her 60s as well as stunningly beautiful Tatiana. Someone meets with a lawyer. A realtor is also consulted. Christian has his libido put in jeopardy when he is "haunted" by memories of former love interests. This episode will also feature flash forwards. Catherine Deneuve plays Corrine Lubey (previously named Diana) and is said to wear wonderful clothes.

10/25 - Episode 4.13 - Reefer: This is a Christmas episode and it is said no one will ever see Santa the same way after watching this episode.

10/31 - Episode 4.14 - Willy Ward: It seems that we will see Kimber do one of her adult films in this episode. Gina is set to appear and may be somehow involved in the making of the film.

Episode 4.15 - Gala Gallardo (Season finale): Gala is a raven-haired woman with an inviting vulnerability and an undeniable strength. However, Gala has one major flaw: she is married to Escobar Gallardo. Third-year surgical intern Bart is impossibly nervous. A happy couple, similar to Julia and Sean, is also featured. Someone will die; will it be to the hand of the hot European assassin featured in the episode?

I felt it was. I was expecting to come back with the way the show went off the previous week. It was so exciting but the new characters this season didn't even appear. I don't even remember Liz appearing last week, and we haven't even seen her new hateful girlfriend again. And then Liz didn't even show up this week.

Last week Escobar came back and the show mostly centered on him, and the reveal that Shawn had the affair with Monica, and the 2 weeks together were just talking about the destruction of the Shawn/Julia marriage.

This week they went forward into the future and ages all of them at least 20 years, and the makeup was awful. The story was even worse. There was just nothing exciting about the 2 weeks at all. Even Escobar's return last week was not exciting at all.

I think Nip/Tuck has ALWAYS done this throughout every season. Second and third especially (Ava would be around for awhile, then dropped, then back for the season finale....same with Carver in season 3). I've just come to accept it....

I thought tonight's was a little interesting and really sad since we now know how the future of our beloved Nip/Tuck characters will turn out.

First, Conner is HOT.

Second, Annie turned out to be 100% certifiable....complete NUTJOB. I personally didn't like that, as I figured Annie was the only sane person in that house at times.

Finally, it is just a sad ending for all. I know in real life, not every story has a happy ending...but still it would have been nice if they ended up being happy.

I agree with Rick though - this episode especially was thrown in and written to facilitate Julia's emergency exit from the show.

Next week, it gets back in the swing of things - but I'm a little sad that Julia had to take Annie and Conner with her...so I guess it'll just be Sean, Christian, and Matt from now on...well and Kimber, Liz, and Michelle.

Oh I am a little upset though that they did drop Christian being gay thing...and obviously he ends up in the future being the single player he's always been, and into girls.

I seriously hope that the complete shift in writing style (1st few weeks ROCKED....now episodes are continually diminishing in overall 'good'ness)....I just hope all that is just a side effect of Ryan Murphy doing other things and not being able to fully concentrate on the show.

With that said, I hope that someone can step in (if Ryan Murphy does indeed exit from the show) and work wonders with what Murphy has left us with.

Theres no way in hell two plastic surgeons would look that bad at 60, they just looked awful, shame on the make-up department. Heck most 60 year olds don't look that bad. An why did they pick that annoying actress that played jan brady in the brady bunch movie to play annie?Yuck. Connor was just bland. This episode was the worst episode ever. The only thing I found interesting about the episode is when christian said he was married but now single??? Does he end up marrying michelle?

i kind of enjoyed tonights episode..I thought it was a nice farewell for Julia...And i love anything that Christine Elise Cox (Jan Brady) is in...she was great this past summer on the lifetime show Lovespring Internation..and i hilliarious as a messed up Annie..

But i really haven't liked the marlowe story..and i hope tonight is the last we see of him..IN fact i'm kind of happy Julia has left, because the Connor story was a real downer..and i miss the more sexual and wild Nip Tuck..Looks like next weeks should be better..

So glad to know I'm not the only one that thought this episode was downright awful - probably the worst Nip/Tuck episode EVER. <_< I understand Joely Richardson having to leave, but why the flash forwards? Makes me seriously think that this is the final 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.
