Nip/Tuck Episode 16 - Gene Shelly

I was getting read to write this post at the end of last night's episode when all of a sudden I see that the next new episode is in two weeks! What gives??? We're two episodes in and we have to wait two weeks for the next episode. That is ridiculous!

This episode was full of surprises!!! Sean decides to sleep with his student, only to have her first shave him, and then try to diaper him! WOW! I didnt see that coming...

Julia returns and is looking pretty good this year. She was way too skinny last year. Julia catches Sean walking.... Matt is also pissed after he truly believed Sean was struggling in the wheel chair.

Christian is going through hard times in his battle against cancer and with Sean so preoccupied, he turns to Liz. After calling an escort and having her wig out on him, he calls Liz for some comfort. What do you know, Christian finally gets with Liz.... I cant say that was a surprise. What was a surprise was Liz's reaction. She's actually questioning her lesbianism. That is an interesting storyline going forward.

This episode involved patients as well even though I havent mentioned it yet. It was hilarious too! I'll save the write-up for those who have missed it. Let met just say that Sean puts his student to work with Christian and this time it isnt Christian who gets lucky....err....unlucky?! LOL... That has to be one of the funnier scenes we'll probably see this year.

Even Kimber returns this episode laying the groundwork for being as mean as can be! She was ruthless tonight! Enjoy it if you missed it tonight. We have two weeks to wait until the next episode. Share your comments and thoughts in the Nip/Tuck Season 6 chat room.

HollywoodChicago.com: DVD Review: Fifth Installment of ‘Nip/Tuck’ an Imperfect Season, DVD

A pretty rough critique of the new DVD. I havent seen the DVD but it doesnt sound all that impressive. The criticisms of the show aren't wildly off-base either, even though I am an avid fan (yet to miss an episode).

DVD Review

Nip/Tuck Season Premiere - Ronnie Chase

It's good to have Nip/Tuck back on... it's been way too long. All in all it was a pretty good premiere. Nip/Tuck is full of it's usual surprises, some better than others. The one thing I have learned about the show is to be patient because sometimes the pieces don't fit together for several episodes.

Nip/Tuck used to be the show I couldnt wait to call a friend about and say "did you see that???" It's still a good show but it's lost a little of its magic from earlier seasons in my opinion. It showed some flashes in this episode.

Liz and Christian had some comical moments and it really was nice to see Liz have some more airtime. Sean's daughter made a brief appearance lying on the table as they picked up from last season. Matt popped in briefly but no real story there other than he's trying to get back on his feet and make his father(s) proud. Christian did take some pot shots about Matt's incestual relationship from last year.

Wilbur is getting big.... not sure if it is the same kid.

No signs of Julia... hip hip hooooray! Those of my regular readers will note that I am not much of a fan of her whiney character. I'm sure she's back next week but I am not complaining. She gives the show some contrast at times and she's part of the trio. ;)

The second half of the show really picked up in true Nip/Tuck fashion. It was only a matter of time before Christian got back to his usual tricks but Sean was the real surprise! It's great when Sean opens up and lets loose...

I wont give away any details of what happened last night as everyone gets back in their routine of watching the show.

If you missed it, go watch it. If you saw it, let's chat about it here: http://www.quicktopic.com/42/H/eUfbFc5rLCus

Welcome back Nip/Tuck!

Tonight is the night!

Tonight is the night. Although there isnt as much hype as there was in previous seasons, I'll be ready to watch. I havent looked for any preview information and I am assuming things will pick up where they left with Sean a bloody mess and the Julia poisoning still on the burner. I believe the Eden storyline will get wrapped up pretty quick so they can move on to new things.

While the move to LA was nice, I dont think it came with as much substance. I am still wondering what happened to the ass bandit!

Sorry but I am hoping Rosey does not make an appearance this year. I'll be back tonight with a write-up.

It's been a while gang.... Happy New Year!
