Courtesy of Variety: 'Nip/Tuck' music cuts like a knife
From the very beginning, showrunner Ryan Murphy and "Nip/Tuck" used music -- both songs and underscore -- in unexpected ways.
"Ryan's vision was always clear," says music supervisor P.J. Bloom. "He wanted a combination of big songs everyone knows and ultra-hip material that accentuates the decadent world in which our characters live."

Quick Hits:
Dylan Walsh
" — I felt the finale should have been more about some closure with the things we’d already set up. It seemed like an odd thing to do."
Julian McMahon
“I know that some people felt like it was less than what you should do on “Nip/Tuck.”
Joely Richardson
“I thought it was an absolute page-turner..."
John Hensley
“This is anticlimactic to me. I was craving for there to be some great twist..."
Kelly Carlson
“I found myself reading the script and getting a little pissed off that my child was going with Ava. I was a little mad. I was a little upset. It made me sick.”

“It went back to its Nip/Tuckism..."

Final Nip/Tuck Episode Tonight!!!!
It's been a while since my last post but this is it!!!!! What are you expecting? What are you hoping for? Drop me a line either by comment or in the forum.
-NTF!!!
Thoughts on the finale:
Look, anyone who has watched Nip/Tuck from the beginning knows that Sean and Christian were on very self-distructive paths. In the end. they both saw it and finally had the courage to take a new path in life. That's what this episode was about.
Christian and Sean both knew that for their own happiness this had to be done. It may work out and it may not but it's something that had to happen. Even Matt decided to take on a new path. It may not have been the right one and probably isn't but that's what he needed to do and had been trying to do for some time.
Christian will always be the Christian we know and love... the womanizing, sex addicted, self indulgent who's only real relationship will be with Liz while Sean is away.
Sean will be the Sean we know and love. He'll get to do something he truly loves and maybe, for the first time in his life have a normal life without all the "plastic" overtones. Sean doesnt want the same life that Christian does and never did. Sean wants a family and now he can work on that without Christian always begging for his attention and demanding that he interrupt his life to save him from his own.
Liz will continue to be the backbone for Christian. Their partnership may end in sheer disaster but it's a path that she needs to take as well.
In the end, all we can assume is that the characters will have a better chance without each other than with each other.
I enjoyed the finale... it may not have been the best one in the series but at least it left us thinking more about the characters than recent episodes.
It's late so I apologize for the spelling mistakes / grammar/ typos if there are any. ;)

Nip/Tuck Final Nine - Season Premiere Dan Daly
Nip/Tuck is coming to an end and it looks like the path will lead to the end of McNamara/Troy. This episode basically highlighted all the tension that has been brewing between Christian and Sean (mostly felt by Sean). Flashbacks in this episode give us the impression that Christian has manipulated Sean from the very beginning while they were in college. Sean was at the top of the class while Christian was just having a good time while he skated by. This episode revealed that it was Christian's idea to be in Miami and get into plastic surgery. Sean wanted to go to Harvard and become a doctor in order to "make a difference." Ultimately, it was Christian who sabotaged those dreams.
Sean and Christian were honored with a presitgious award from their alma mater for all the ground-breaking work they've done - sort of a lifetime achievement award. Things were going smoothly until Sean found out that it was actually a donation by Christian on behalf of the both of them that ultimately led to the honor. Christian said that this would keep them in business for another 25 years and while his intentions were good, Sean just felt it was another backstab and sham that Christian has done to him time and time again.
A couple of weird plot points came up:
-Christian who always practices safe sex apparently got his interior decorator pregnant leading to his "snip/snip."
-Christian appears to be on a spending spree since forging Sean's name on the line of credit against the business. Not only is he remodeling the office but he also made a 200K donation in order to receive the award in the episode.
-Kimber/Christian are now married. We went from proposal to marriage without the whole marriage episode inbetween. Kimber is apparently already on the lookout for Christian's cheating ways but missed his first trist with the decorator.
Highlights of the next episode look pretty wild as Sean and Kimber start to heat up!

Nip/Tuck Season 6 Episode 2 - Enigma
We didnt really expect Sean to kill himself on the second episode. That couldnt happen! Kudos to Christian for keeping Sean in check!
Sean continued his downward spiral partly due to the stress and insomnia that he is enduring. I can't believe he actually started any sort of relationship with that other insomniac. She was as strange as they come. Sean was sinking to new lows until he realized what he was getting himself into.
Looks like Teddy is in it for the money after all realizing that Sean is spiraling out of control and has a $5M life insurance policy. Maybe she'll try to kill him like all the others.
Liz has finally decided to drop the divorce. I am glad too because mean Liz just doesnt work for the show. I think Kimber does a better job at playing a lot of different types of roles for the same character.
Christian is really starting to show a complex with Mario (Michael). Weren't they both in the shower together already not long ago? I am not sure why it became a sudden surprise all of a sudden to compare manhoods. Apparently the new doc has the goods to satisfy Kimber.
No sign of Matt in this episode but much like Sean, he will sink further into the abyss.
As for the main patient of the episode, Enigma.... what a strange dude! His parents were trying to get him cleaned up and while it may have helped on the outside, it surely didnt help his inner demons. Enigma ends up killing his parents and himself leaving Christian and Liz in shock with the outcome.
I didnt get a chance to see the promo for next week but it should continue to be a rollercoaster ride for the boys of McNamara/Troy.

Nip/Tuck Premiere Oct 14, 2009 - Welcome back!
Well, the first episode is in the books. What did you all think of it?
I think the idea of relating the state of the business to the state of the economy is quite brilliant! Mario returns and brings the competition and jealousy that really drives both Sean and Christian.
The best scene of the night had to be that commercial! That was classic and has to be on of my favorite scenes all time for Nip/Tuck! It was perfect! If you havent seen the episode, that scene alone is worth it.
Matt.... poor Matt. This guy is just a tortured soul. I can't believe what he is resorting to now. You really have to laugh. I thought he made the perfect mime though!
Sean's girlfriend doesnt seem to fit as well as the actress from last year. Curious to see how that plays out. Kimber was back and I was happy she was.
No sign of the kids this year in the premiere which is not all that surprising. I am just waiting for Annie to show up as a 16yr old mid-season! Wilbur was there and the kid is huge!!
It looks like Liz is going to make life very difficult for Christian. Good for her and her aspirations of the LezBoat! :)
The blind divorce lawyer was another funny scene with Christian. I thought it was going to get even raunchier than it did but thankfully it did not.
I am looking forward to this season and more things to come. There was a lot of cheesy humor in this one which made it worth while. It ended on a bit of a dramatic cliff-hanger but we all know what will happen next week anyway.
Drop me a line. It's good to be writing about Nip/Tuck again!

All New Nip/Tuck Tomorrow Night! Season Premiere!
The previews are over and we're ready to go. Tomorrow night Nip/Tuck returns after a long wait. I can only imagine the trouble that Sean and Christian will get into this year. The previews look pretty good so I am anxious for the return.
I have to admit I thought the finale last year was a complete disaster with Christian being misdiagnosed. Now I guess we'll deal with the fallout. I havent read into the previews for this year. I honestly wanted a nice surprise (cast, storylines, and all).
Welcome back gang!

Griffith will be playing Brandie, Kimber Henry's mother who visits her former adult film star daughter from Wisconsin, as per TV Guide's source.
In the episodes, Brandie will be joined by her on-and-off boyfriend, Les, who attracts an instant hatred by Christian Troy, played by Julian McMahon. Les' treatment of Brandie reminds Christian of his own abuse of women.

Did you catch the Burn Notice Finale?
This is way off topic for my blog but drop me a line if you caught the season finale (Lesser Evil) of Burn Notice on USA. It's become one of my favorite shows. They really do their homework on the details and the clips on the website are great from both the creator and the actors.
The finale was intense from start to finish and kept the story moving. The Victor storyline was fantastic! "The enemy of my enemy may be my friend." There's a show I cant wait to see next year. Maybe, it's time to come up with a Burn Notice blog?
I have a few favorite episodes from Burn Notice this year: The Bank Robbery episode, the car thieves, the forged painting, and the Haitian father who was trying to prove who killed his daughter.... those were just some of the highlights.

Fellow Nip/Tuck Fanatics, I've created a one stop shot for the various songs throughout Nip/Tuck. Feel free to give it a look and let me know what you think. Right now it is mostly Season 4 and Season 5 songs. It's not the complete list but it's not too shabby either.

Nip/Tuck Season 5 Finale - My Review
Well we waited all this time for the worst finale in the history of Nip/Tuck. I couldnt be more disappointed. This episode was slow moving and just flat out boring. We start out with two vampire-like patients biting each other due to addiction. Of course the guys fix them up only to see them continue their actions. Christian decides he wants to live forever by being frozen but after checking out the cryo process with Sean and realizing he may have an eternal roommate, he decides against it. Kimber gets kicked out of the bed (and the house) of her porn star threesome. Matt makes a weak attempt at getting back together with Kimber only to be shot down. Kimber makes a weaker attempt at trying to get Christian back. Teddy is a psycho and Sean doesnt know it, playing the fool. Christian and Liz go ahead and get married with minor disruption from Kimber.
....drumroll.... and my favorite part of this disaster episode was the complete copout by the writers..... Christian is not going to die. The doctors screwed up (the writers screwed us).
This was worse than a soap opera and as a longtime fan, I am TOTALLY disappointed.
Season 6 will be the last and we're given 2 parts to drool over... wow... I can't wait now.
The same show that left us with so many cliff hangers from season to season totally dropped the ball on this one. Ryan Murphy, I can only hope that this wasnt your writing. Total disaster....

Nip/Tuck: Allegra Caldarello Chat
Well, here we are closing in on the end of Season 5 (Part 2). It's nice to see Liz have an episode dedicated to her. I thought she was great. It was also a nice touch to have Lizzie's surgery be Christian's last.
I am starting to see how this is going to hurt Sean (and now Liz) and it has to make you feel bad as a fan of the show. I know a lot of the feedback is that Christian won't die and that there is a plot or foulup causing a huge mixup. I honestly do think that his character will die as we close in on the end of the show. My gut feeling is that this is drawn out into Season 6, Part 1 and ultimately ends with Part 2 showing how Sean is able to cope. I could easily see Sean having visions of Christian or using Christian in a ghost-like manner like they did with Escobar.
While there was a lot of doom and gloom in this episode, you have got to love the nutty doctor, Logan Taper! I have no idea what sexual disorder he had but it was hysterical!!! You had this weird feeling that he admired Christian's taste in furniture a bit too much but I had no idea it was leading to that! I am still getting a laugh at how he spread the couch pillows apart and left the slightest crack between them.... OMFG!!! Of course, it can't just end there... Christian is getting his furniture professionally cleaned when Logan comes back because he forgot some of his things. The real reason of course is to have a repeat performance with surgery table! For those that haven't seen the episode, this alone is worth the laugh!
Liz finally stood up to her mom and Christian made her feel like a million bucks by getting her a brand new dress to wear on her wedding day. I think this was the first episode ever where Christian wasnt a smart ass! ;) Liz tells her mom that she is not invited to the wedding.
All of this chaos was going on at the same time an old friend came back to the show. Allegra Caldarello returned... you remember her right? "Put pussylips back on the schedule!" That had to be one of the classic lines of all time in Nip/Tuck. Allegra was in for some additional surgery. In turns out her husband is terminal as well and wants to make sure she is able to find a new man to take care of her and provide for her. He doesnt go about it in the best way, much like the way Christian forced Logan on Sean but it works out in the end.... much like it will for Sean.
The show closes with Sean looking at old movie clips of himself along with Christian and Julia when Teddy comes in. Sean admits to feeling as though he is losing everyone when Teddy promises Sean that he wont lose her.

Nip/Tuck: Budi Sabri Chat
Is Christian really going to die in 6 months??? I think everyone in the world thought it would have just been a quick follow-up. Nice twist by the writers. As many of you read in my last post, I think Nip/Tuck is heading toward a very dark ending. I think it is pretty refreshing actually and really the premise of the show. No matter how much you cover up the ugliness, the true color is still there.
You have to love everytime Sean gets to let loose. It's so unexpected each and every time! He basically becomes Christian for a short time until he basically looks himself in the mirror and says "what am I doing?"
I thought Christian and Liz's moment was pretty genuine. While I dont think they're a match made in heaven, I think the writers did a great job in laying the ground work by using Budi Sabri's chat with Christian to say that he just wants a woman who accepts him for who he is with all his flaws.
Sean will always be by Christian's side. I just wonder what will happen to Sean if Christian does die. I think they both need each other more than anyone.
Music from this episode:
"Desert Mantra" David Hudson
"Heartbeat 2" Yomano
"Human" Human League
"Digeridoo" Aphex Twin
"The Curlew" Craicmoe
"Resonate The Head" Charley McMahon
"F Minor Op55-1 Andante (Nocturn No 15 in F Minor Op 55-No.1)" Idil Biret

Nip/Tuck Getting Darker - Happy Ending Doubtful...
I thought the last two episodes were pretty good. Nip/Tuck has always been dark and ugly. It's never been a feel good story except knowing that Sean and Christian will always be friends and never let anything between them.
I think it's interesting how every character is just going down a darker and darker path. Each character is spiraling downward in their own way.
Kimber is as obsessed and self-motivated as she's ever been.
Christian is as reckless as ever and really has no future other than to live in the present.
Liz is still confused about her own sexuality.
Matt hasnt figured out what he wants to do when he grows up.
Julia is suffering.... as always but this time over Olivia's death.
Sean still is looking to let loose one way or another but feel as confined as ever. Can't wait to see him let loose next week!
I cant say I ever expected this crazy group of characters to have a happy ending... ;)

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
Note there is a follow-up regarding this season's premiere:

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
