Nip/Tuck - Season 3

Nixxxed · #1 10-04-2005, 10:15 PM

I'm liking the season so far. It got off to a slow start considering the big cliffhanger last season, but I thought tonight's episode was a real return-to-form.

I won't spoil it for you West Coast Ledgies - but the placement of Lionel Richie's "Stuck on You" was just about the best use of music in any show ... ever.

SPOILER

When Costa starting grabbing Christian's ass, I shrieked with laughter.

The sheer amount of sex in this episode was shocking. Rhona Mitra is a bloody riot. Were you just hoping that Sean would beat the **** out of Matt? I was.

I was so happy when Sean and Julia schtupped each other, too.

I laughed out loud 4 or 5 times during this episode.

And yes, the biggest laugh was when Sean finally clocked Matt. I know he's been through a lot, but he conveniently left out the real bit that started his downward spiral - when he got stoned and ran over that chick.

And speaking of stoned, my fave scene of the entire show's run so far was when Matt and Grandma Erica got baked last week:

- Matt (smirking when she catches him): "Want a hit?"
- Erica pauses, then grabs the bong.
- Erica (coughing and hacking): "You poor younger generation kids just don't know what *good* pot tastes like. This is sh*t!!!"

She's brilliant, but could her character have a worse name? Kit McGraw does not go with that lovely accent.

PS: I hate Dr. Costa. The slimy little bastard.

I can't escape the feeling that Dr. Costa is The Carver - dunno why. I know he's from Atlanta or something, but he obviously has the means to travel at will.

And are we the only 3 watching? Or the only 3 who will admit it?

So far their plastic surgery storylines have been great - especially the first episode with the lady whose skin had fused with her couch, and last night's frat boy initiation gone wrong. "Stuck on You" indeed.

I haven't caught every episode, but the one I did see last week (I think it may have been the season premier), where he's in bed with the detective(?) and his girl walks in and he say's something along the line of "Hi Baby, I'm back" and then she join's them. That was so funny. Sorry if this has already been discussed, I'm alittle slow.

No, it hasn't been discussed. And I love how it led to this week's almost-4-way including Dr. Costa. "It's not my girlfriend I'm having a problem with - it's my girlfriend's girlfriend... Wanna help?"

Oh, and I keep meaning to tell you: My Dad loves your hog (he was reading over my shoulder the other day). He has a couple himself - one small 1980 sport model, and one huge behemoth complete with a sidecar. They're a life-long interest for him, and they really make him happy. As for the rest of us, it's fine. Except when he's trying to adjust the carburetor at 7:00 AM on a weekend, or brings home Harley t-shirts that say stuff like "If you can read this, the bitch fell off" on the back.

I love Nip/Tuck, I have just been avoiding this thread because I haven't watched this weeks show. I have it Tivoed. I loved last week ~ well, I think I did. It really got to me. I don't care for Matt & he sure got his but the other guy that was in the gang that was beat up bothered me. I loved when Julia walked in to find her mom smoking out. That rocked.

I got the feeling from last night's episode that Costa might be The Craver, but then thought it would be too obvious. I think the writers are just using him as a red herring. They said it will be a main character though. It just better not be Liz with a strap on or I'll boycott.

BTW- I loved when Sean punched Matt in the face.

"You wouldn't mess up your perfect work."

"I already have." Classic.

Yeah - that beating was pretty harsh. Were they just "jumping him out" (or whatever it's called), or did they kill him? I was so shocked by the trannies peeing on Matt that I never really noticed if the gang banger was alive at the end.

And sorry if we spoiled last night's episode. I waited as long as I could.

That would be way left-field, and I would be very upset also. However, given all the crap she's taken from Christian over the years, it would be poetic justice given that the Carver raped Christian.

And - something else I wondered - do the victims *feel* what The Carver is doing? I know he injects them with a drug that paralyzes them. But does it take away sensation as well as motor control?

Me, too. I'll stop watching it, that's just too insane for me. Kimberly blowing up the complex on Melrose I can take, but not Liz with a strap-on.

It would be a gas if it was Matt, that's for sure.

I've never heard of this show. Could someone give me the cliff notes version of what it's about?

Sex, drugs, and plastic surgery.

But seriously - http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/orig...tuck/main.html

Seasons 1 & 2 are on DVD, and you can buy or rent them. And if you hurry, you can be caught up by next Tuesday!

Also, the current episode repeats on Friday and Sunday nights that I've seen, and maybe even more days given cable programming lately.
