Nip/Tuck: Discussion Thread

[alwaysAMC]

It was different - but good.

I can't believe New York is going to be on this season! haha - that is amazing.

I liked it. The scenes from "Hearts and Scalples" were hilarious. I loved the guests stars! Jennifer Coolidge (who was hilarious as "Pussylips"), Oliver Platt, Bradley Cooper (his character on H&S was funny too), Daphne Zuniga, Paula Marshall, Tia Carrere, Craig Bierko (I can't believe there are people out there like his characters.....sick!!).

It was a good start. I had fun watching it.

Did anyone see the "Plastic Fantastic" episode? That was hilarious!!

- Christian stirring things up by being the "bad guy" ala Will on Big Brother. LOL

- I Love New York! LMAO

- The hidden cameras

- the Lesbian triangle

- the screaming and arguements

It was so fun to watch.

I need to vent. I can't stand Julia. I don't understand why Christian and Sean are so in love with her. She's whiney, she's dependent and she's a hypocrite. Sleeping with Christian but getting upset with Sean for sleeping with Eden. HELLO he's a single man he can sleep with whomever he wants. She bugs me.

Anyway, I'm loving Oliver Platt and I wish Hearts & Scaples was a real show.

The show made a major mistake by killing off Gina Russo, she is an amazing actress beautiful and had so many possible storylines to have.

[Lskreet]

I was never a fan of Gina. She was annoying and clingy. However, I thought they did a good job with her funeral. It started off funny, but ended on a sad/happy note.

The sad thing is the only female character I like on the show is Liz. They need to give her more to do.

[Lskreet]

Joan Van Ark is scary looking. She should be a spokesperson for why not to get plastic surgery. Yikes!

[Skin]

I didn't really care for Gina in the beginning either. But over the years I began to apperciate her more and more and I thought she was truely a tragic character who had deep issues and now finally seemed to be able to move past them. I feel sad for her because when we first saw her she was recovering from her sexual addiction and then Christain shows up and all of her progress is completely shot to hell. Gina had alot of issues. Her eating disorder, social disorder and her self destructive behaviour really made me want to root for her.

It looked like she finally turned around and made something of herself. I actually think that Gina was the one woman that I could see Christina being with. But he never really loved her for her. Christian never really loves anyone really. So to have her killed by Christian when he was the primary catalyst for her disintergration at the start of season one in the first place just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Moreover the fact that Christina doesn't even feel guilty over it and that she is virtually forgotten is beyond reprehensiable. Especially since she was an important characters in seasons 1-3.

I want Kimber to be destroyed this season. I am hoping she is the next big death this season....

[Lskreet]

Me too!! Get rid of her once and for all.

I'm beginning to think Ryan Murphy doesn't like women. A majority of the female characters are either crazy or sluts.

I'm getting tired of the Christian does random women montages. It's old and tired. I know a lot of people didn't like Michelle but I liked them because we got to see a different side of him. It's been the only committed relationship he's been in since the show started.

I thought the season started off strong but it's fading. There isn't any continuity. One week Julian and Christian are together the next they aren't. Is Julia still with Olivia? Sean and Eden are together and then they aren't. It's confusing.

[Skin]

I personally hate Christian. I just find him to be the most arragont, selfish and mainpulative character ever. He has no soul. He steps all over women be it Kimber, Gina, Julia or Natasha. He has cheated, diminshed and destroyed all of these woman in one way or the next and doesn't give a damn about the damage he has inflicted and feels no guilt for his actions. He just continues to persist and continues to believe that he is gods gift to women.

I feel bad for Matt this season, because it seems like he truely wanted to do whatever he could for his family and tried to provide for them. But Kimber left him and took his daughter and was a total bitch. So I am happy that she is in pain now. I actually feel really bad for Eden which is a singifcant change because I didn't care about her before.

This season has been luke-warm at best. It's not as horrid as season 4 but it is no where as good as seasons 2 or 3. It falls somewhere in with season 1. It's like it's trying to find it's footing and formula. I will say that I am very dissappointed by the send off given for Gina who was a major character for 3 seasons. Her death seems to be invalidated and like she wasn't even important at all to the show.

[Lskreet]

I feel bad for Matt too. He was trying do to what was right for his family but Kimber manipulated him and got him into the whole Meth mess. I'm estatic she's in pain but I want her to suffer more.

I have mixed feelings about Eden. I felt dirty rooting for her and Sean but she needs to toughen up. She talks a good game but she's easily rattled. Another thing in continuity is her getting mixed up in porn. It's so random.

I agree about Christian although I did love him at first but now it's tiresome and Julian McMahon isn't as hot as he used to be.

[Skin]

I think that they really went above and beyond with the villians of season 5. Colleen was a caricature, I mean they really made her a cartoon. They had her stuff a man to death and now I am just really disappointed in how they killed her off. There was nothing really spectacular about her ending and she just ended up commiting suicide. It was never revealed that she killed anyone, we never really got to see any insight or backstory to her. She was just used for shockvalue. Meh. Hopefully we'll get to see Eden develop more but as it is now we don't really understand anything about the major antagonists. Which is very different from seasons 2, 3 and even 4's major villains.

[KevC1980]

Wow..now that was a shocking last 10 minutes of Nip Tuck..Could be up there with some of my all time favorite moments..I was so relieved when Julia discovered that Eden had been poisoning her with mercury....But absolutely shocked when Eden shot her..What a crazy bitch!!! Next week looks incredible..

[Skin]

I now officially believe that Eden is a cartoon. She went from being utterly devestated last week over Sean's dismissal of her and running back to Ram the porn producer only to go back and kill of Julia. They take this character to major extremes within a period of one or two episodes and don't set anything up to make it seem plausiable or understandable. It's beyond jarring to see her acting like this just after she was having a threesome with Kimber and Ram. I guess long gone are the days of The Carver, Ava and James who were realistic and interesting villians. I guess now they will just play up campy out of this world caricatures. I guess that's the major difference from Miami and L.A.

I feel soo bad for Matt. He has never had a real normal girlfriend. He is just lost and will always be. Season one he had the girl he loved become a lesbian, season two he fell in love with a trasngendered woman, season three he fell for a neo-nazi, season four he fell for the scientoligist Kimber and season five he is falling for his half sister. Jesus this guy never gets a break.

Christian is an [!@#$%^&*].
