Offical Nip Tuck Thread

not right now

 

[Prison Mike]

what a great episode last night. I love it when they focus on the relationship between Sean and Christian. The flashbacks were helpful in explaining their backstories. If it wasn't for Christian, Sean would be like that other doctor who worked in Africa. He could have gone to Harvard and never marry Julia. I don't blame Sean for going mental at the end with the wall and the award. This looks like it will be a good season and will primarily focus on Sean and Christian's relationship rather than having no direction like last season.

 

[The Joker]

The episode was pretty boring overall, and just continued the trend of this season to make Christian more and more unlikeable.

The actors who played the young versions of Sean and Christian were spot on though.

 

[Prison Mike]

yeah, I liked the actor that played young Christian. He was spot on.

 

[kguillou]

Yea i was amazed how those young actors nailed their adult counterparts' personalities. I felt really bad for Sean, all he's ever wanted was a family and a job that meant something and because of Christian he was never able to obtain those things. It was kinda weird seeing young Christian introduce Sean to Julia with the hindsight that he's eventually going to screw her and have Matt.

After the past few seasons i dont know if Christian's character can be redeemed. He was always one of those loveable ass holes, but recently he's just an ass hole.

 

[BlackLantern]

Sean does have a job, and he has a family

 

[kguillou]

You kno what i mean. Sean's family is a mess and his job is meaningless, to him at least.

 

[BlackLantern]

no one has a perfect family....I don't think he sees his job as meaningless, at least not all the time...Sean is more about being a doctor than a plastic surgeon, and its vice versa for Christian

 

[The Joker]

no one has a perfect family

True, but Sean's family is like something off the Jerry Springer show

 

[kguillou]

Ever since Sean found out that Matt wasn't his, thats when his marriage started to fall apart. Christian has been a monkey wrench in Sean's life for a long long time.It seems like he would've been better off without him.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Yeah, after watching last night's episode, it seems that Christian has been obsessed with Sean from the beginning. Perhaps he sees the good in him and wants to corrupt him, or co-opt it for himself, or just be around it because he knows he's not good, or as skilled. I never quite got that impression before. It seemed like they needed each other, but this season, it seems like Christian is far more desperate to keep Sean in his life, but at the same time, Christian's presence is so destructive. I don't know if there's any redemption for the Christian character. In season's past, I always got a sense that he could be redeemed no matter what he did. And there have been a few flashes this past year, with him giving the money to the abused victim and he still seems to be a good father to Wilbur, and he's trying to be in Matt's corner to some extent, but he's been terrible for Sean.

Wilbur wasn't anywhere to be found last season. The only fathering he's done for Wilbur since the divorce, that we know about, is pay for a nanny.

 

[KenK]

Wilbur's been on quite a few times, and I've rarely seen him without Christian. Especially the last episode of last year.

But yeah, beyond that, Christian's been quite the irredeemable prick. There have been at least three episodes recently specifically dealing with Sean and especially Christian's financial troubles, so it baffles me that Christian's response has been to spend even more! And we still haven't dealt with him forging Sean's signature to take equity out of the company to pay his personal debts.

 

[BlackLantern]

Im sure that will be addressed

 

[Maximus One]

I loved the premiere. And that is really saying something. What I really loved was seeing Lesch-Nyans syndrome depicted though. I read about that stuff in this book called "The Cobra Effect" a few years ago and looked it up to see if it was real and sure enough it was. As soon as I saw that guy I was like "That dude has Lesch-Nyans!!!" Stuff is crazy, I feel so bad for anyone in the world that has it. Just thinking about it makes me a bit uncomfortable

 

[omid17]

damn i screwed up guys, i decided to eat dinner while watching nip/tuck last episode

bad idea

 

[Lasirius]

You never do that! You should know by now, but glad you learned your lesson

 

[DarKush]

Last night's episode was horrible in terms of being a follow up to the flashback episode last week. Sean didn't even mention what had happened about the award, and usually Sean brings stuff like that back up. He was miffed with Christian, but at the same time he was talking to him. Not like the end of the flashback episode where he seemed so disgusted with Christian that he didn't want to talk with him. I would've liked to see them patch it up instead of jumping to this shaky communication stage. Also, what's up with Christian letting himself go? He's never done that before, not even when he thought he was dying. That came from left field. Also, I didn't care for Sean going back and messing with Kimber again. I guess he wants to hurt Christian, but I don't think the episode did a good job of following up on last week's for his actions to make sense. Actually I don't think his actions make sense and it really just ties him more to Christian. If he's expending so much time trying to hurt the man, he still cares about him, and he's still operating on Christian's level. Maybe Sean can't break free because he doesn't want to, and that him and Christian are more alike than Sean cares to admit. Overall, I just thought this was a jumbled episode.

 

[KenK]

This season has just been completely aimless. They've just stopped caring, and were it not the last season, I probably would have quit watching it by now.

 

[The Joker]

Yeah, this last season is getting to be as bad as season 4. It's all over the place, and the plots are wafer thin for the most part.

 

[kguillou]

Man ever since the Carver storyline in season 3, this show has just gone down down hill. Kimber and Sean again? Really? Really? Why would Sean do that, especially after knowing that she was with Matt all that time? Thats just wrong. What is this show doing?

 

[Prison Mike]

I think they're trying to get back to those season 2 storylines between Sean/Kimber/Christian. I agree that the plot for these past 2 seasons has been non-existent. Oh well, I'm just going to enjoy the ride. Next week looks good. I wonder what will become of Christian...

 

[The Apatow Crew]

It was funny seeing Christian being a fat slob.

 

[omid17]

last episode sucked balls

 

[M.O.Steel]

whats the name of the model? and the girl from the plane in episode before?

 

[Prison Mike]

Mini Anden played the model from last week's episode. I think it was Sheetal Sheth who played the girl in the plane from the episode before.
