Nip/Tuck: "Tookiesam."

If you read the spoiler/gossip column from E! Online which I blogged about here, you'll know that one of the clues about the Carver identity was "Tookiesam."

Well, if you've kept up with the news you'll know that Stanley Tookie Williams was a man on Death Row pleading for recently pleading for clemency on his execution. He was the co-founder of the Crips. He was held in San Quentin State Prison, where he put to death by lethal injection mid-Dec.

The clues... Quentin/Execution/Death/Lethal Injection... Hmmm...

Coincidentally, it just so happens that in my Constitutional Law class, we were discussing the Stanley "Tookie" Williams case. I however, did not hear the clue of "tookiesam" for the Nip/Tuck season finale, until a few days after the discussion. I'm going to ask my professor if there is possible any correlation between the two. I do however know that even though Tookie was the leader of the Cripts, he still believed that he had seen the error of his ways, and wrote children's books and autobiographies of his life, in order to try to inform society of the gang population. Even though the "San Quentin" clue is pretty evident that it might have something to do with Nip/Tuck's Quentin, I don't understand what the "sam" stands for at the end of
"Tookiesam"..but this clue is definitely somewhat connected to the show. I'll try and find more information and I'll post ASAP

Im not too sure on his initials either but it is a possibility... It could also mean Sean and Matt for that matter. We'll have to wait and see on this one but its an interesting thought.

I finally got around to reading the eonline board. The girl writing it (Kristin?) also says that the clue is real and not a "cop-out". I wonder if this was another clue. As in Cop = Kit. Jsut curious what you think. Love the site.
