Re: Nip/Tuck season 5 premiere 10/30/07

I have been looking forward to this night... ummm... basically since Season 4 ended - have you been watching from the beginning? It's one of my favorites and it's been getting great buzz. Just many of the positive reviews I've come across (warning- a tad spoilerish):

Tonight just can't come fast enough... !

Really looking forward to its return. The reviews have been great, saying the changes have revitalized the show.

When Season 1 originally aired, I thought I would be too squeamish for the show. But after all the great reviews, I caught up with Season 1 on DVD and have watched as it airs from Season 2. Great stuff. When I've told my co-workers about some of the plotlines, they can't believe I watch this weirdo-sounding show.

Pretty good season premiere...... I liked it! The last two seasons were not on the top of my list... I am waiting to see where this one goes... I really liked the previews they showed for the season thou!!!

Bradley Cooper was killing me. Fun stuff in the premiere. Plus, who knew Sean had a good jump shot? Though I can't imagine surgeons playing basketball since it's pretty easy to jam your fingers while playing basketball. The upcoming sneak peak looks like a gas.

I loved the thinly veiled self parody theme of tonight's episode. Looks like Christian is jealous of Sean's new found celebrity. So far, so good.

I loved the fresh start. The show needed it as I was ready to dump the show after last season.

Yes same here. This is a show that needed a reboot, and this might be just it.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5 premiere 10/30/07

I agree. The season premiere was fresh and light and funny. It was good to see Sean on top for a change. And although I'm looking forward to getting Julia, Matt and Kimber back in town, I'm loving the guest stars. Oliver Platt in particular is just too good....
Excited to see what's in store for tomorrow!

The show feels "fresh" again, and should be a fun season...

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

Indeed! Can't wait to check it out tonight. It's so great to have a tv show to look forward to every week ...

Julia and Matt could disappear and it would only make the show better.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

Just when you think they couldn't get any more twisted, look at what shows up in this episode:

The Jacuzzi Crapper. 'nuff said.

The hymen repair of the daughter of your ex-wife's current lesbian lover. That daughter, Eden, totally revving up Sean's libido in so many bad ways. And top it off Sean's daughter's going to the same private school as Eden does.

Matt and Kimber way deep into drugs, even with child and all.

Christian getting played by Julia.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

I love this show. I don't think I've seen anything as disturbing as the jacuzzi scene in a television show. There are so many scenes in this show that are so off the wall crazy and at the same time hilarious and completely outlandish, but I love them all!

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

What a deliciously twisted episode. "Crap jacuzzi," crack abuse, lesbianism/bisexuality, male prostitution, and an unbelievably hot schoolgirl with a saddle on her back...all in ONE episode.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

I don't know the actress playing the schoolgirl, but she is SUPER hot!!!!!!!

Edit: Anna Lynne McCord...mmmmmm. Off to google.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

She is hot, but I hate absolutely everything about that storyline. Hate it with a passion.

I agree 100%. I thought about fast forwarding my TiVo during those scenes.

It was like the writers read my mind when it came to all of Rosie's scenes...

This storyline does seems almost unbelievably cruel, even for this show.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

Nip/Tuck dropped off my viewing list a couple of years ago for various reasons. I only tuned in because someone told me that Claudia Chrisitian was doing a guest shot. In some ways it seemed that the show had regained some of the lighter feel it had in season one, but the dark stuff is still dark and twisted as hell.

That said I did like the dark and twisted bit with Claudia, who oddly looked "hotter" when she was frozen than in the scene in the bar. (Although she did have a nice entrance - very 40s femme fatale with the lighitng and the music, something out of a Raymond Chandler novel.) And who hasn't at some time or another fantasized about seeing Rosie O'Donnell with her lips sewn shut?

BTW, what is it with the producers and former Babylon 5 women? Three of them have guest-starred by now, and all of them featured in some seriously kinky storylines - Tracy Scoggins playing a mom who double-teams men with her hot daughter, Melissa Gilbert beining injured in a beastiality accident and now Claudia with a near-fatal necrophilia fantasy.

Regards,

Joe

So who's left from B5 on the female side: Mira Furlan, Patricia Tallman, Andrea Thompson, Julie Caitlin Brown

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

"Kyle Ainge" This was a pretty "out there" episode featuring cannibalism, teddy bear fetish (and human version of taxidermy-related stuffing), a hilariously inappropriate wake for Gina, and baby-biting. Unreal.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

i've been keeping these on dvr and up to "chaz darling"

i love the show but i'm not getting how matt and kimber all of a sudden are crack junkies.
the creepy step daughter is making me very uncomfortable.
that is either a terrific compliment or harsh criticism.

Man, I love this show...

Looks like 'douche bag' Matt is back in next weeks episode.

Had a mini Knots Landing reunion going on tonight. Donna Mills still is smokin' hot as was Deborah Shelton, but Joan van Ark was looking creepy.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

Joan van Ark looks like she really has had a few too many nip/tucks, but her O-face was hilariously over-the-top.

Sean has a mess on his hands (both the crazy agent-wannabe Colleen, and Eden).

I was sort of waiting for the sound effect of a plop/thud on the table when Christian proudly displayed his credentials to the Knots Landing Ladies reunion.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

Just when you didn't think the writers could pull yet another F-up by Matt out of a hat, they do it once again with the scarlet letter subplot. Yikes.

Matt was totally channeling Christian during the breakup scenes, that was kinda funny to watch.

Julia...never eat the fruitcake, lady. Here's hoping that Eden has good aim.

Re: Nip/Tuck season 5

I always feel a little bit dirty after watching this show... but I always look forward to it from week to week.
