ASK BECK/SMITH Dear Marilyn & Stacy: When is the new season of 'Nip/Tuck' airing? That show is great!
Marie
PA
DEAR MARIE: 'Nip/Tuck' will return to the tube this fall, but at this time, says a Fox exec, no date or time has been set. And you're certainly not alone in feeling the show is great. It was nominated for Emmys in 2004 for directing, title design, theme music and makeup (and won in the latter category.) It also received 2004 Golden Globe nominations for best television series, and best actress (Joely Richardson) and came back to win a 2005 Golden Globe as best dramatic TV series. It also earned Joely Richardson another Golden Globe nomination, as well as one for co-star Julian McMahon.

Nip/Tuck: DirecTV boards FX pay plan
DirecTV trying to make another buck.... I am starting to regret having their service. Why pay a monthly fee if they are going to tack on all these small charges for the stuff you really want anyway? It's like a mastercard commercial: extra reeciver $5, extra channels $10, PPV special $3, HBO $10, HBO/Cinemax/Showtime: $20, High Definition: $10, NFL Package $300... Telling DirecTV to F** OFF! PRICELESS
By JOHN DEMPSEY @ Variety
FX will allow digital subscribers of its sister company DirecTV to get an advance showing every week of "The Shield""The Shield" and "Rescue Me" for $2.99 apiece.
The Fox Entertainment GroupFox Entertainment Group and DirecTV are touting the early-look strategy as an industry first, unlike the deals engineered by other broadcast networks for pay-per-view buys of episodes following their plays in network primetime.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for us to continue to elevate the FX brand," said Peter Levinsohn, president of Fox Digital Media. The DirecTV/FX experiment begins in March.
Levinsohn said the plan is to offer not only a duplicate of the FX-network version but, in some cases, the equivalent of a director's cut of the episode, with footage deemed too violent or salacious for ad-supported cable TV.
In addition to the FX shows, DirecTV will also offer episodes of shows on the Fox broadcast network to DirecTV customers who pay the $41.99 expanded-basic monthly fee plus an additional monthly stipend of $5.99 for the digital video recorder.
But episodes of the Fox broadcast shows, which include "24""24" and "Prison Break," will be available only six or seven days following their network-primetime run, and will cost 99¢ apiece.
For now, FX's most popular original series, "Nip/Tuck," is not available for advance showing because it's owned by Warner Bros. TV. But Levinsohn said Fox and DirecTV are in talks with Warner Bros. to get "Nip/Tuck""Nip/Tuck" into the mix.
Levinsohn said he regrets that the DirecTV platform was not around last year for the cancelled FX series "Over There," created and produced by Steven Bochco and Chris GerolmoChris Gerolmo. It was the first scripted TV show that tried to capture what it was like to be a solider in Baghdad during the Iraq war.
"Viewers could've seen a version of 'Over There,' " Levinsohn said, "that was not subject to the rules of standards and practices."
DirecTV and Fox also have a deal that gives free on-demand access to exclusive highlights from Fox series along with behind-the-scenes features on movies and TV shows from 20th Century Fox.

Nip/Tuck: Joely Richardson Fears Another Marriage
Via Starpulse
Joely Richardson admits she has turned down a number of marriage proposals - because she's too scared to tie the knot again after her painful divorce. The stunning 'Nip/Tuck' actress says she would rather have a baby with a lover than walk down the aisle with him. Richardson - who has a teenage daughter from her marriage to 'Bridget Jones' producer Tim Bevan - insists she has no desire to wed following their divorce nine years ago.
The 41-year-old told You magazine: "I haven't wanted to get married again. I just haven't been ready for it - maybe once is enough.
"Whenever the subject has come up, I find myself moving away from it. I would think more easily about having a child than marrying again."
Meanwhile, Richardson was delighted to be asked to play the lover of 1930s British monarch Edward VIII - because it was the first time she didn't have to pad her bra for a role. Small-breasted Richardson plays Wallis Simpson in forthcoming TV movie 'Wallis and Edward' and was amazed that she had to lose weight for the part.
She said: "Thank God she was flat-chested. It's the first time in my life that the producer was not asking me to wear a padded bra.
"I had to slim down as Wallis was known to be very thin."

Nip/Tuck: Can't Wait for Next Season!
Ok.. I've tried to get into the Shield but I just can't. I watch a bunch of the reruns over the weekend as FX has played like 4 of them back to back to back. I dont know why but I just cant get into it and I am a fan of Law and Order, CSI, and many of other police shows and movies. I guess the corruption, street gangs, and backstabbing is just more than I can stomach. At least I gave it a shot. I'm honestly waiting for Rescue Me which is a lot closer to the Nip/Tuck style of writing and direction. It cant get here soon enough.
So here I am looking for the latest info on Nip/Tuck when I run across the following article Fifth Season Of `Shield' Has Promising Start ...by Roger Catlin. Now, I already disagree about The Shield but I read on anyway when I come to this part...
"Unlike, say, this year's season of "Nip/Tuck," "The Shield" feels like it has a lot of life still in it. "
So the first thought in my head is what is this clown talking about? Where did that come from? The article had nothing to do with Nip/Tuck and the guy takes a pot shot about a show he probably isnt a fan of to begin with and probably hasnt followed from its pilot like many REAL fans have! I was pissed!.... practically offended!
This year features a season finale setting an FX record for viewers, it kept people wondering all year who the Carver was, brought new characters and new villains to the spotlight, and has already signed for season four! How can anyone say that this season doesnt have any life left? We last see our villains drinking Mai Tais or Margaritas or whatever poolside eyeing their next victim after getting away scott free! We had Matt who is connected with a murder going into next season eating family dinner as if nothing happened (hannibal lecter style)! LOL...
I guess certain people just like watching poverty, gang violence, police corruption, and politics on a regular basis. I can get that by watching the nightly news!

Bruno Campos: 'The Carver'
Source
By MARC SCHWARZ (northjersey.com)
Now that the man behind the mask has been revealed, Bruno Campos can talk about one of TV's best-kept secrets - the identity of the Carver on "Nip/Tuck."
The two-hour finale last Tuesday drew a record 5.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched episode ever of an FX series.
Campos, speaking by phone from his parents' home in his native Brazil, provided insight into Dr. Quentin Costa, the not-so-mild-mannered plastic surgeon, who dons a mask to become the Carver.
When did Campos find out he was the Carver? From the moment he was brought on board at the end of the previous season. Series creator Ryan Murphy told him, "I have this idea for this third doctor that will be a synthesis of McNamara and Troy. He'll be as talented surgically as McNamara and as interested in the sexual world as Christian is. There will be a difference: He will not have restraints. So he does not have the doubt that Sean does as to whether or not to perform certain surgeries, and he does not have the guilt that Christian goes through. He's much more predatory that way. We're going to do that and he's going to have this alter-ego. He's going to have this social-political agenda that he enacts."
Was he always the man behind the mask? Yes. "I have blue eyes, and I would wear brown contact lenses to make sure no light reflected in my eyes."
When did the rest of the cast find out that Costa was the Carver? Campos' first scene on "Nip/Tuck" was at the end of the previous season when he slashed Sean (Dylan Walsh) in the shower. "So Dylan knew, and then I was brought in as Quentin, and then I came in and slashed Christian. Then Julian [McMahon] knew. But not everybody knew. Kelly Carlson [who plays Kimber] didn't know until I was actually kidnapping her a year later because I hadn't worked with her before that. My attitude was if you didn't know, I wasn't going to tell you."
Was it hard to keep it secret? "It was the longest secret I ever had to keep."
Who on the cast didn't believe Costa was the Carver? Joely Richardson, who plays Julia McNamara. "Even though she heard that I was doing it, she just couldn't believe it was going to turn out to be me.
"I did make a bet with Joely. I don't know if it was the right thing to do. But she kept telling me everyday, 'I don't think it's you, I don't think it's you.'
She wrote me a check for $100, and I'm framing it. She put in the memo space, 'I lost.'Ÿ"
What's Campos' take on the Carver and Dr. Costa? The Carver is "a child" of Drs. McNamara and Troy. "He's kind of a reaping of what they sow. He's their natural antagonist. He's their shadow.
"Quentin Costa is also their mirror. Like the Snow White mirror, the dangerous mirror. Be careful what you ask for because you'll get some twisted version of your fantasy. That's what Quentin and the Carver represent."
Is there any difference between the Carver and Quentin? "There was an issue of whether this was going to be a Jekyll and Hyde thing or a Clark Kent and Superman thing, where one character differs so greatly from the other. For me, it was always it's Hyde and more Hyde. When he takes off the mask and he's Costa, he's still the same guy. He's not sweet and innocent. It's not a multiple-personality thing. He just has this suit he likes to wear when he's doing that particular ritual."
When did Campos find out that Quentin lacked male genitalia? The day he got the script for the final episode. "I knew something was coming because there was that scene with Joely in the hot tub and we didn't have sex. I started to suspect, 'Oh, oh, something's going to go wrong with me real bad.' So I'm walking around the next day on the set and everyone's looking at me funny."
The last sighting of Quentin, he and his sister were stalking another victim in Malaga, Spain. Will he return to Miami? Campos admits he has no idea, but the possibility certainly exists. "You just can't kill the bogeyman. He's always going to live under your bed to some degree."

Julian McMahon Discusses Dr. Doom
For those looking for a Julian McMahon fix....

If Julian McMahon (Victor Von Doom/Dr. Doom in “Fantastic Four”) ever finds himself without an acting gig, there’s a career ahead of him in public speaking. McMahon had the packed crowd eating out of his hand at the 2005 Wonder Con held in San Francisco the weekend of Feb. 18-20th.
Answering questions from anxious comic book fans who were looking for a little insight into his take on the “Fantastic Four” villain, McMahon (sporting a Von Doom cap) made each of the brave souls who approached the mike feel like they were the only person in the room. By the time McMahon’s “Fantastic Four” presentation was over, the crowd had been given the opportunity to check out a new clip from the upcoming movie and had been reassured that Dr.
Doom was in the hands of an actor who knew and thoroughly enjoyed the source material.
After finishing up his “Fantastic Four” panel, Julian McMahon took the time to sit down for an interview with a small group of journalists. Seeming to genuinely relish the part of the bad guy, McMahon talked at length about taking on the role of the “Fantastic Four” villain and about the physical aspects of getting into character:
You joked with the audience about being blatantly evil. Are you?
(Laughing) I am. My characters aren’t. They are not so blatant.

Nip/Tuck: Kelly Carlson played her ugly side beautifully in 'Nip/Tuck'
Source: Star Tribune
Emmy and Golden Globe should be calling the name of beautiful Kelly Carlson after her outstanding season-ending "Nip/Tuck" performances, complete with ugly makeup.
She uglied up impressively for the scenes in which the disfiguring work of "The Carver" was repaired by the plastic surgeon played by Julian McMahon. "Oh, good. I was suppose to!" said Carlson, who was in the metro visiting family and friends for the holiday.
She explained that the makeup and a skull cap helped her pull off looking especially mangy about the head.
"It was great," she said. "It took three hours to put all that makeup on. I would just fall asleep. My writers did me a big favor by doing that. I think it was intentional. They said, No one will be able to say you're on this show because you're pretty and you can't act. It was a really nice thing for them to do." Nicole Kidman got an Oscar out of a fake nose and some good acting.
It's hoped that "Nip/Tuck" is finished with butcher story lines, although "The Carver" finale was popular. E! News' Joal Ryan reported that a record was set for an original F/X series with 5.7 million viewers.
"As long as the viewers are happy and my performances are good, I'm happy," Carlson said.

Carver Good to "Nip/Tuck" via E!Online
E!Online: Carver Good to "Nip/Tuck"
by Joal Ryan
Dec 28, 2005, 3:45 PM PT
The Carver is sick, sadistic--and popular.
The two-hour season finale of Nip/Tuck, in which the serial disfigurer known as the Carver was revealed to be Dr. Quentin Costa, was braved by 5.7 million, a record for an FX original series.
The show easily outdrew broadcast network competition on UPN and the WB, and lured a season-high number of desirable 18- to 49-year-olds to cable. Overall, it was the fourth-most watched program on all of cable in 2005, Variety reported.
Nip/Tuck's Carver storyline dates back to season two--or around the time the bad Dr. Costa checked in to Miami.
Played by former Jesse nice guy Bruno Campos, Costa cut up models and defiled Dr. Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) in cahoots with his secret sister--the finale's final twist--police detective Kit McGraw (Rhona Mitra). It was explained that Costa and Kit had troubled upbringings. Also, Costa was vexed by his lack of a penis.
Nip/Tuck is due back for a fourth season.
Via CNN
"Nip/Tuck" also drew 3.9 million in the 18-49 demographic; no other cable series has generated that large an audience this year. The haul also enabled "Nip/Tuck" to rank as the No. 1 original cable series in the demo.
The episode also repeated strongly at midnight, bringing in a cumulative audience of 7.3 million on the night.
Despite switching its scheduled run from the summer -- where it spent the past two seasons -- to the more competitive fall period, "Nip/Tuck" managed to best its season averages in total viewers (3.9 million) and 18-49 (2.7 million) by 100,000 viewers in both categories over last year.

Nip/Tuck: Season 3a (written by the fans)
Ok, another crazy idea on my part... bare with me. I needed a way to fill in the void of not having Nip/Tuck so I was thinking of a Nip/Tuck Season written by the fans...us :) I'll start by writing the an opening paragraph storyline and then anyone can reply and continue the story with their own ideas. The next person replies and keeps it going.... Hopefully we dont have any spoil sports killing characters off too quickly :o)
Well, hopefully you guys get a kick out of the idea... if not, I guess I'll be alone writing.. LOL ;o)~~

Nip/Tuck Season Finale - Episode Summary
Christian and Sean received a bloody package containing breast implants... they checked the serial numbers and found that it was Kimber's. They also found a small object in one of the implants that was a container holding a message "beauty is a curse."
Christian then contacted Kit to have them investigate and Christian asked the Quentin be questioned.
The interrogation between Kit and Quentin was priceless... more one-liners that you can count. Then, Quentin was let go due to lack of efficient evidence.. .we found out he didnt have a penis. Birth deficiency. You'll have to watch the episode replay to hear his explanation of his relationship with Julia and the night he, Kit, Kimber and Christian were in the bedroom.
Kimber was found... Alive! She was seriously messed up. The breast implants were the least of her problems. All of her surgeries done by Christian were undone. Her nose, her lips, she was injected with Chicken fat... sun spots were replaced by burning her, her face of course was carved.. it was SICK hearing it.
Christian finally sees her and promises to fix what the Carver had done to her. She decides to have all of the surgeries at once and following the surgery tells Christian that she doesnt want to be with him.... that the Carver really did free her from a life of plastic and vain beauty. She doesnt want to be around mirrors and just wanted the surgeries to not be gawked at for her ugliness.
Cherry Peck, the transgender that Matt beat up shows up and threatens to go to the police if Sean and Christian dont fix her up. Cherry had cheap plastic surgery and wasnt looking too good. Sean doesnt take it well and tells her to get out and that he wont be threatened. Matt, then begs Sean to do the surgery to fix the mistake that Matt had made to begin with... so that they could move on with their lives.
Sean does the surgery for Cherry and Matt shows up to talk with Cherry.... They seem to have patched things up and it almost looks like they start flirting! LOL... Matt goes to the cosmetic section of the Mall with Cherry as friends when Ariel sees them and starts an uproar. Ariel's dad is also there. Just before that, the sales lady had given Cherry a hard time when Matt stood up for her and said that Cherry was more of a woman than she would ever be.
Julia is having nightmares about the baby... You'll have to see for yourself in the replay... Julia tells Sean that she still doesnt want him in her life just because she is having the baby. This was even after Sean gave her the deed to the house. After the first exam, she goes by herself and apparently finds out some news about the baby... we arent told. Shortly after, she decides to reconcile with Sean and move back into the house and amending the deed with both of their names.
The 2nd half starts with the Carver attacking a sorority house… picking the victims off one at a time. Sean and Christian were called by one of the victims' parents and realize they'll be pulling an "all-nighter" to fix the girls up. One of the girls says that she walked in on the Carver and saw "it". They ask if it was the Carver's penis and she says "No, it was like a strap-on."
The police also visit Quentin again and find candles all over his apartment and then him tied to the bed posts, face carved, with the words "I cant stop" painted above his head on the wall in blood.
The next morning Quentin comes in to McNamara / Troy to ask them to fix his face. They laugh and refer him to another surgeon indicating that fixing him would put them at risk with the Carver. He comes up with a whole story about fitting in and how that's all he ever wanted to do… be one of the guys. Quentin says that he paid a girl to pretend like she was giving him a blowjob during the scene with Sean at the party. He also says that he had to grab Christian's ass during the 3-some scene because things were progressing too fast with Kit and she would have found out that he was without a penis. Everyone feels sorry for him… including the viewers and they agree to do the surgery.
The police storm McNamara / Troy during one of the surgeries and put Liz under arrest. Kit interrogates her and brings up some of her past about an aggressive relationship she once had, her prior arrest at a protest rally, and the strap-on they found in her home. She swears up and down that she didn’t do it and would rape her bosses.
Sean goes in to check on Quentin when they find Quentin isnt there… it’s the body of a woman… The Carver then pops up form nowhere and injects Sean with the paralyzing fluid. The Carver takes off the mask and we see Quentin smiling.
Ariel and Matt are at the high school in Ariel's car talking about what happened between them. All of a sudden, Ariel's dad comes and asks Matt to scoot in and that they are going for a ride. Ariel says "I did what you asked daddy." Matt doesn’t put up a fight for some strange reason and they end up in what appears to be the basement/garage of Ariel's house. Matt is tied up and then Cherry Peck is brought in as well. They are both tied up and Ariel leaves the room. Ariel's dad threatens them and wants them to decide who will get cut… by this meaning having their penis cut. Matt is threatened first and then is told that he will have to cut Cherry Peck's off.
At about the same time, we head back to McNamara / Troy where the Carver (now known to be Quentin) is unmasked and has tied up both Sean and Christian. He rants a bit and even cuts the tip of one of Sean's fingers… the pinky. Quentin goes on explaining himself and comes up with the idea of cutting off a hand. He wants them to choose… He was about to cut Sean when Christian yells no and to do him instead. Quentin is about to cut Christian when he tells him "I cant do this… we've made love… you do it!" Quentin says that if Christian gets any ideas, he'll cut Sean's throat. We then see Christian about to cut his own hand off.
Matt goes through with cutting Cherry Peck and we see Cherry Peck in a hold dug out by Matt as he is forced by Ariel's dad. Matt loses it, throws the shovel, and basically says to go ahead and shoot him while putting his head against the gun. While the conversation is happening, Cherry gets out of the hole, grabs the shovel and whacks Ariel's dad knocking him out. Cherry Peck picks up the gun, points it at Ariel's dad when Matt says "do it"… and we see the shot fired from above.
Just as Christian is about to cut his own hand a bullet is fired. Kit shoots Quentin through a window of glass. She says that it’s a good thing she got a 911 call from Gina! We then go to check on Gina when we find that she has been carved by the Carver. They are in surgery with her when she and Christian are talking.
Kit talks with Sean and Christian and tells them that she found a diary of Quentin's and that explains how he was brought up… teased as a victim. She tells them that he had a sister with a clef that needed to be repaired… Quentin had gone to school and become a doctor when the sister had died.
We then see the body on the autopsy table. Kit had asked them not to start until she got there (after the shooting). We then see the black blanket removed and Quentin's eyes open. He asks what took so long? Kit was Quentin's sister!
Sean and Christian go to the school where Quentin had been to find out more about him when they talk to one of the head nun. The nun was surprised upon hearing of Quentin's death. She was also surprised to hear the story that his sister had died. She then shows them a picture of Quentin and his sister…. Kit.
The finale ends with Quentin and Kit sitting poolside sipping drinks talking about everything somewhere in Paris. Quentin says he needed more time but Kit says she had only walked in when they had agreed… he had taken too long. They discuss beauty when a woman (obviously enhanced) walks by… Quentin decides that he might have to "work" late and that his job is never done. We see him walk up to the woman now lying poolside.
The End.
Christian then contacted Kit to have them investigate and Christian asked the Quentin be questioned.
The interrogation between Kit and Quentin was priceless... more one-liners that you can count. Then, Quentin was let go due to lack of efficient evidence.. .we found out he didnt have a penis. Birth deficiency. You'll have to watch the episode replay to hear his explanation of his relationship with Julia and the night he, Kit, Kimber and Christian were in the bedroom.
Kimber was found... Alive! She was seriously messed up. The breast implants were the least of her problems. All of her surgeries done by Christian were undone. Her nose, her lips, she was injected with Chicken fat... sun spots were replaced by burning her, her face of course was carved.. it was SICK hearing it.
Christian finally sees her and promises to fix what the Carver had done to her. She decides to have all of the surgeries at once and following the surgery tells Christian that she doesnt want to be with him.... that the Carver really did free her from a life of plastic and vain beauty. She doesnt want to be around mirrors and just wanted the surgeries to not be gawked at for her ugliness.
Cherry Peck, the transgender that Matt beat up shows up and threatens to go to the police if Sean and Christian dont fix her up. Cherry had cheap plastic surgery and wasnt looking too good. Sean doesnt take it well and tells her to get out and that he wont be threatened. Matt, then begs Sean to do the surgery to fix the mistake that Matt had made to begin with... so that they could move on with their lives.
Sean does the surgery for Cherry and Matt shows up to talk with Cherry.... They seem to have patched things up and it almost looks like they start flirting! LOL... Matt goes to the cosmetic section of the Mall with Cherry as friends when Ariel sees them and starts an uproar. Ariel's dad is also there. Just before that, the sales lady had given Cherry a hard time when Matt stood up for her and said that Cherry was more of a woman than she would ever be.
Julia is having nightmares about the baby... You'll have to see for yourself in the replay... Julia tells Sean that she still doesnt want him in her life just because she is having the baby. This was even after Sean gave her the deed to the house. After the first exam, she goes by herself and apparently finds out some news about the baby... we arent told. Shortly after, she decides to reconcile with Sean and move back into the house and amending the deed with both of their names.

Nip/Tuck: Carver Blog - "True Beauty"
Via the Carver Blog
9:33 AM - True Beauty
Current mood: Reflective
Hola from Spain, or is it bom dia from Lisbon, or is it ni hao from Beijing, or is it guten tag from Berlin, or is it bon jour from Paris, or shalom from Tel Aviv? We really could be anywhere couldn’t we? And that’s the point, isn’t it? Not the messenger or the language he speaks or the city he lives in or if there are two or three or a thousand of us – it’s the message. True beauty is not a curse on the world. True beauty radiates from a leper’s hope or a victim’s resistance. True beauty does not exist in the symmetry of a face or the flatness of a belly. True beauty lives in the musk of sweat that forms after a good hard screw. True beauty is raw, ugly, human. True beauty throws up on your shoes. True beauty’s eyes are bloodshot from being up all night fighting. True Beauty leaves a scar. True beauty hurts to look at – because it reminds us how ugly we all are. It holds a mirror up to our mediocrity; our need to blend in, to conform, to believe in the craven imagery sold to us at the checkout line in the supermarket. We hunger for True Beauty because we are feeding ourselves with dust to fill our need. We are gorging ourselves at the buffet table of illusion and wondering why we never feel full, never feel satisfied, never feel beautiful. Turn away from the mirage and feed with me. Put down your Us Weekly and turn off your “E!” -- they are the Devil’s banquet. Yes, my methods are extreme, but my message is not. How I communicate what I believe isn’t for everyone – in fact it isn’t for anyone but me – but what I am saying is universal.
For those that see my true identity as some kind of disappointment, a let down, I ask – who did you think I was? I am the Carver, I have always been the Carver, I was never anything but the Carver. You knew that. Who I was behind the mask was never important. It was what I did when the mask was on that mattered. Like a great knight, it was what I stood for when I donned my armor that made the difference. Yes, it was important to me that everyone knew that I wasn’t some lunatic, some uneducated psychotic with nothing but rage and revenge as my guides -- that I wasn’t being controlled by the neighbor’s dog or compelled by the Devil. But at the end of the day, it was never about who was doing it, it was about what was being done. I am simply the one that was chosen to be given the gift of enlightenment -- just as Siddhartha, Mohammed, Abraham and Jesus were all just men, chosen for reasons unknown to them to deliver the word of God. Do not focus on the “who”, focus on the “why.” The “who” is a distraction. The “who” helps us forget the lie that the “why” is trying to destroy. It makes us think that because someone has pretty eyes what they say is important and because someone has no teeth they are a rambling idiot – even if both are saying the exact same thing.
Kit and I will always be out here, somewhere, maybe on the other side of the world, maybe hiding in your closet. Where ever we go, though, we will be bringing our message of True Beauty and confronting those that resist it. I might even pop in here every now and then to give my good friends a personal hello, maybe explain a few things. It has been a pleasure “educating” all of you. Let’s do it again sometime soon. Just leave your back doors open for sis and me. We’ll be over as soon as we can…
Until we meet again, my beauties…

Nip/Tuck: Poor Matt McNamara...
By season 5... Matt will be in a straight jacket!!
Cmon... hasnt the kid been through enough?
He's about to be stalked by the KKK, have to live with a real murder after living with the hit and run (Cara Fitzgerald)... He's slept with one transgender (Ava) and then had to deal with her son who happened to be murdered. Matt found the body and was questioned by police where he found out the best blowjob he ever got was from a man.... Matt then attacks another transgender that he'll probably end up dating but not before he had to cut his penis off (after his own was threatened) and then witness the shooting of their attacker in self defense... the attacker only happened to be his Nazi ex-girlfriend's father!! This was the same guy Matt did a favor for by breaking his father's client confidentiality by stealing all the client files. Matt then closed out the evening in Hannibal Lecter style by sitting down for a nice family dinner... LOL!!!
Matt also found out that Sean wasnt actually his biological father and that his uncle Christian is. I guess he just assumes his mother is a slut at this point as well. Matt tried to perform his own circumcision after his first girlfriend turned him down and went lesbo on him! At least he was invited to a three-way before he was rudely interrupted by his mother.
Matt has taken bong hits with his grandmother and wasnt even told (didnt appear in the episode) where his grandmother apparently went down in a plane crash!!
Matt's been punched by his non-biological father and had to file a restraining order against him. Matt has also been beat up by a gang of transgenders and pissed on. He was also arrested for indecent exposure... whacking off to Ava's window... a crime he had to admit to Christian. LOL...
Matt... Matt.. I feel sorry for ya buddy... It's only going to get worse before it gets better!
Nip/Tuck: Season Finale Thoughts - Carver Unmasked
I loved the one liners all over the place... lots of twists and turns... and they didnt go and pick someone that wasnt a main character. I had a pretty good read on who I thought the Carver was and my theory came down to the wire.
I cant believe Matt was that dumb to stay in the car without putting up a fight! I guess that's the major cliffhanger for next year as the KKK hunt him down. I guess we'll also find out what happened to Julia's baby... there was definitely some news there that we didnt hear.
I guess the Carver will be back next year in some fashion. I would love to see those characters again next year. Quentin and Kit were great! The writing was well done even though it might not have been the major surprise everyone was looking for. I am not sure why some people were disappointed. I for one, was not. I appreciate the fact that the writers did not bring back a small character. This year was about Quentin and Kit and there they were!! Very clever.
I thought the twists and turns were great and what they did to Kimber was SICK!!!! I didn't see all that coming but I was so glad to see she was at least ALIVE!!! THANK YOU WRITERS!!! I hope she ends up with Christian after it is all said and done. People change... Christian should have told Kimber that she'd always be a 10 in his eyes... instead he tells her he'll make her a 10 again. What's up with that?!! Bad move Christian... not a way to win the woman's heart back.
Annie made her brief appearance which I initially overlooked... LOL.. I wish her character would just disappear!
Did anyone else think Matt was going to end up falling for the transexual!! LOL !!! And why doesnt Matt ever come clean with anything... The drama will be back for next season. I just posted a new blog entry about Matt. Boy that kid has been through a lot in the show...
I agree with some of the feedback that I received. It was suggested that it might have been more powerful if the Carver would have remained masked during the intense scene with Sean and Christian. I agree... I would have loved to see them trying to figure out who was behind the mask and then find out after the shooting.
You have to love how Christian was willing to sacrifice his own hand for Sean... they do make a good couple ;o) I just pictured the wedding cake tasting scene during that moment! LOL...
Scenes of the night in my opinion:
Sean and Christian receiving the bloody package
Quentin's Interrogation by Kit
Kit telling Christian about what happened to Kimber
Matt stands up to the makeup lady
Matt and Cherry being tied up and threatened
Christian and Sean being tied up and threatened (at the same time, but in separate scenes as Matt and Cherry)
Quentin and Kit sitting poolside
**Julia's Dream... only because of Quentin's comment that "it almost looks human" LOL...
Quotes (as close as I can get them)!!!!
Quentin to Kit.... you spread your legs like a romanian gymnist
Quentin to Kit... You really ought to expand your pool of suspects to people who dont know if you are trimmed, shaved or waxed... LOL
Quentin to Christian... I can't do it... We've slept together... LOL
Matt to the makeup lady (regarding Cherry Pack).... she's more of a woman than you'll ever be!

Nip/Tuck: Ultimate Carver Spoiler?
These just got circulated to me via emails from several people. Be warned that this COULD BE the ultimate spoiler so be warned before you click.
Just remember that these were added to the FXnetworks website so the chances of being legit are high but there could be the misdirection factor... I am not even going to hyperlink them so you actually have to copy and paste them if you want to see. Read into them as much as possible. You can reply to this thread but be vague as I do not want the comments to provide any more information than I am giving now.
UPDATE: The links were removed by FXNetworks this afternoon...

Nip/Tuck: Carver Blog Post - "My Mask"
Via The Carver's Blog
Saturday, December 17, 2005
1:15 PM - My Mask
Current mood: generous
I am on a holy quest. A quest for true equality. A quest for the expression of godliness in every person regardless of their race, creed, religion or sexual orientation. We are instinctively drawn to those that look like us, or worse yet, those that look like we wish to look. Both are lies. Neither is a true expression of who any of us are. I wear a mask not to hide my identity – but to make sure that I am seen. See my face and you know nothing of me. See my face and you see what you want to see – you compare, contrast – “Is she prettier than I am? Is his jawline more defined?” See my face and you see my mask. See my mask and you see me, see my message, see what I stand for, see my story. My life is pain, hate, fear. My mask speaks to that life. My mask is a gift to the world. My mask is an act of grand generosity. It does not hide as the face does. What face tells the truth anymore? What face filled with botox and collagen, covered in self-tanner and anti-wrinkle cream is anything but the manifestation of the selfishness of the modern world? The masses cry out – “Give me Jennifer Garner’s nose! Give me Jennifer Lopez’ ass! Do not make me “as” beautiful as they are – simply make me “as” they are – for those I worship are nothing save for how they look and I am nothing if I do not look as they do. Perhaps if we appear to be the same I will feel as they feel, I will consume what they consume, I will become what they have become. Anything to lose who I truly am. Anything to not have to look into the face that was gifted to me. Lie to me, cheat me, tell me what I need to hear, just don’t look at me.” All I want is for people to look as they feel. To be the same inside and out. I wear my mask because even I, an enlightened one have lost the use of my face. It is just like the rest, a façade, an eminence front, a put on. I give people masks of their own, gift their cheeks with honesty. I must admit, sometimes when I see them in their humility, in their humanity, I am overcome and I must join with them, but even great ones cannot help but be drawn into the holy light of an illuminated soul. Why do we elevate as heroes the cowards who claim to be champions of equality, yet do nothing to demonstrate what true equality looks like? I am the only one who can destroy society’s masks. I am the only one with the courage, insight and strength to tear off the masks and expose the raw, pink, unsoiled flesh within. Do not ask me to remove my mask – I already have.

1:15 PM - My Mask
Current mood: generous
I am on a holy quest. A quest for true equality. A quest for the expression of godliness in every person regardless of their race, creed, religion or sexual orientation. We are instinctively drawn to those that look like us, or worse yet, those that look like we wish to look. Both are lies. Neither is a true expression of who any of us are. I wear a mask not to hide my identity – but to make sure that I am seen. See my face and you know nothing of me. See my face and you see what you want to see – you compare, contrast – “Is she prettier than I am? Is his jawline more defined?” See my face and you see my mask. See my mask and you see me, see my message, see what I stand for, see my story. My life is pain, hate, fear. My mask speaks to that life. My mask is a gift to the world. My mask is an act of grand generosity. It does not hide as the face does. What face tells the truth anymore? What face filled with botox and collagen, covered in self-tanner and anti-wrinkle cream is anything but the manifestation of the selfishness of the modern world? The masses cry out – “Give me Jennifer Garner’s nose! Give me Jennifer Lopez’ ass! Do not make me “as” beautiful as they are – simply make me “as” they are – for those I worship are nothing save for how they look and I am nothing if I do not look as they do. Perhaps if we appear to be the same I will feel as they feel, I will consume what they consume, I will become what they have become. Anything to lose who I truly am. Anything to not have to look into the face that was gifted to me. Lie to me, cheat me, tell me what I need to hear, just don’t look at me.” All I want is for people to look as they feel. To be the same inside and out. I wear my mask because even I, an enlightened one have lost the use of my face. It is just like the rest, a façade, an eminence front, a put on. I give people masks of their own, gift their cheeks with honesty. I must admit, sometimes when I see them in their humility, in their humanity, I am overcome and I must join with them, but even great ones cannot help but be drawn into the holy light of an illuminated soul. Why do we elevate as heroes the cowards who claim to be champions of equality, yet do nothing to demonstrate what true equality looks like? I am the only one who can destroy society’s masks. I am the only one with the courage, insight and strength to tear off the masks and expose the raw, pink, unsoiled flesh within. Do not ask me to remove my mask – I already have.

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...

Nip/Tuck: Season Finale and Carver Thoughts
Hey gang, the season finale promo looked awesome and I have no doubt that the show will live up to the hype and leave us wanting more for next year.
I keep reading a lot about theories based on the promo clip! The preview for next week's episode says that Julia is having nightmares.
The promos are always cut in a way that gives us the impression of one things and sways us another… Remember the chick in season 1 who pulled a gun on Grace Santiago? Remember the Naomi Gaines episode where we thought we were seeing the Carver's face but were really seeing one of the guys in Gina's gang bang?
With this said, I still stick to my Carver theory about Quentin/Gina.
The Carver has made comments about Brutus and Cassius who I correlate to Sean and Christian.
"They are the Brutus and Cassius of my play; they are the great traitors to my religion. Listen close, both believer and non-believer alike – those two will suffer more deeply and more completely than any others. Those two will see my face and beg it for mercy – of which there will be none. "
Now, we know that Christian is going to suffer when it comes to finding out about Kimber and receiving the bloody package containing the breast implants. I really believe it will hit him hard and that's why he'll go directly to Kit and start questioning EVERYONE!
Now, Sean really hasn’t had anything come up yet other than his attack early on. He was warned already not to interfere but yet continues. This is why I think Julia will be the next victim. I believe that the images in the video might be Julia and I still believe that the last image found was a picture of a baby… It doesn’t matter if it is or isn't really because this is all theory.
What could make Sean suffer more than going after Julia and trying to attack the unborn that really is Sean's baby!
Now, back to reality…
Bobolit...Why is everyone all on Bobolit? In my opinion, he's sort of a goof… kinda clumsy… The only people he attacked were with his Bobotox which he really didn’t even acknowledge his victims. It was the chinese chick that was the vicious one. Bobolit couldn’t even go through with attacking Christian and I really don’t see him having a grudge against Sean. Maybe Christian…. The guy (IMHO) isn't capable of carving people up like that.
Liz...Liz has always been touted as the voice of reason and hasn’t shown a mean bone in her body. Her relationship with Christian is one of small jabs and comments. I really don’t believe there is any hate there at all or else why would she have come back to them after getting shot by Escobar. The only reason she left to go to Julia was to get away from the bickering and the practice that wasn’t making any money. She even said that they couldn’t afford her. The only grudge/motive she might have is not being asked to be a partner.
Escobar...The latest theory in the community is Escobar! I removed him from my polls early on because he wasn’t getting any votes. I might have to put him back on because that's all I hear about these days. He definitely has motive against Christian and Sean but the Carver started out by attacking models. Escobar wanted money and power. He had women everywhere too by the way so why would he all of a sudden want to bang Christian??? I don’t think so!
Ava… will she make an appearance..?? I don't know. She left Adrian for dead so it might be possible. We've seen her in some images and clips but have yet to see her this year so it wouldn’t surprise me if she pops up. Is she a Carver possibility? I guess so. There's no reason to think she might not be… She could be holding a grudge against real women… She could be holding a grudge against men too… We will soon find out.
Ariel...I don’t think Ariel is the Carver either but I do think we will see her again and there will be fireworks. I don’t have any idea what they will do with her so it should be interesting. She very well could play a part in this whole thing.
Ariel's Dad… He's a bit character… That's all I have to say. Unless Ariel is really tied to this whole thing… Forget about it.
Kimber… That one is hard for me to swallow after I am sitting here wishing she were not harmed. It would be a complete 180 to find out she is really the Carver this whole time. I really don’t even want to theorize that it might be her.
Sean… I've read about Sean being delusional and I can kinda see it. I like the creative thinking but I don’t think it will be him because that kinda puts a damper on next season.
Same goes for Julia especially when I think she will still be a victim ;o)
Matt… He's too involved with HS and being a puppy dog to any girl that pays attention to him. I don’t see him as the Carver either… he doesn’t have the sophistication that the Carver has shown. He practically crumbled under the pressure of running Cara over!!
Updates:
Christian's Dad... We don't even know the guy's name. We don't know if he's dead or alive. The only way the guy would even know Christian is if Kit McGraw tracked him down like she tracked Christian's mom down. If she did track him down, why isn't he in jail for rape. Sorry... Too much of a reach for me.
Julia's Mom... Ok, I believe she is a doctor and we have to assume that wasnt an illusion of her on the couch since everyone seemed to be happy in the last episode. I don't think she would be out on a killing spree at her age. Just putting her on the list so people don't say... hey, what about Julia's mom?! LOL...
Jude... He did appear in the season premiere and he may go both ways. We're not really sure. He did go to the swinger party. However, I dont believe he even knew Julia at the time of Sean's attack. I blogged about the boyfriend she had at the time. It would be pretty ironic if the Carver actually decided to go to college and attend the same class as Julia. He could have potentially picked out victims at the swinger's club. I wouldnt rule Jude out completely. He did seem to want a relationship with Julia that he wasnt able to get.

Nip/Tuck: New Carver Blog Post - "Hate"
Via Carver Blog
1:24 PM - Hate
Current mood: alive
Oysters? Diamonds? Conch Chowder? Spanish fly? Amateurs. Poetry? Flowers? Lingerie? Perfume? Pretenders. The truest, most powerful aphrodisiac isn’t any of these – it is hate. Sex does not live in our heads or our hearts, sex lives in our bowels, in the dark spaces within and below. Sex resides in our loins where hate festers, masticating us from within until we explode in a rage of passion. I am hate. I was not born of God’s heart or spirit, but emerged from his mighty taint to expose the power of hate, to show that it is the envy of love. To love someone is to think of them three times, five times, ten times a day. To hate them is to never have them out of your thoughts. To hate someone is to be smothered by them, overwhelmed by feeling, made alive by their very existence. Love can be cured by a slight, by gossip, by rumor, by a pair of socks left unhampered or a slip of the tongue at a dinner party. Love is fragile. Love is the lie we tell ourselves to make all the other lies manageable. Hate is pure, though. Hate endures against all logic, against all argument, against any attempted reconciliation. Send me chocolates, I still hate you. Say you’re sorry, I still hate you. Fix what you have broken, I still hate you. And what is a more powerful, complete and devastating expression of hate than sex? Is there a better way to focus hate than to purify it in the places where it is most comfortable? Have sex with someone you love, then have sex with someone you hate and then tell me which is more satisfying. Tell me who you would rather see vulnerable, empty, weakened to their most base and animalistic – a lover or an enemy? I pity those that love me more than those that hate me because the haters feel what I feel. The haters see me as I see them. I am bound to the haters by experience. To hate me is to understand me, to understand me is to love me – and to be loved by me. My experience of what you call love is limited, and that love is poisoned by pain. Hate, though? I’m lousy with hate. Hate is where I live. Those that claim to not hate might as well claim to not breathe or eat or think. To exist is to hate. To be alive is to understand that “you” is the truest word and that the only way to join with another is to connect with their hate of you – and your hate of them. I carve because I hate. I hate because I seek connection with the world. I seek understanding, a shared experience, a brotherhood with man. I yearn to be hated, so please, hate me my lovers. Hate me with all that you are. Climax with hate at the very thought of me and together we will see the world.
