  • First of all, sorry about the unreadable unarticle last week, guys. Secondly, how psyched is everyone for Halloween? Nip/Tuck seems to be pretty excited, because almost every character tonight puts on some kind of costume (many in a single montage).

    The titular character shows up to the office for a consult, during which she tries to convince Christian and Dr. Mario Lopez (Sean being away doing something foolish, no doubt) to use leeches during her recovery. (And I know I said this a couple of weeks ago about the narrator's looks when she appeared on the TV, but it's too apt not to point out: Briggite Reinhart sounds just like the fashion designer from The Incredibles. Don't be surprised if Sean gets called away to a remote island on a "business trip.") Christian scoffs at the idea, but Dr. Mario Lopez is more open to it -- because, as we later learn, he is distracted by lady troubles. Specifically, he is having trouble with one lady, and that lady is Kimber, and the trouble is that she is still in love with Christian.  Dr. Mario Lopez confides in his colleague -- Christian replies by boldly inviting anyone who's not in love with him to cast the first stone -- that he is in love with Kimber, and therein lies the problem. At first I'm like, "Why would anyone fall in love with Kimber?" Before I can formulate my own ridicilous theories, however, Dr. Mario Lopez answers my question: "She's so open."



  • Teddy Rose tries to wake Sean up, but he's unresponsive. Shecalls Christian into the room and he's like, "OMG did the Carver get himagain?" and she's like, "No, I think he took some evil sleeping pills that Igave him," and Christian's like, "It's always something with you crazy kids.Hold his head back while I pump his stomach with this stomach pump that I justghetto-rigged." And she's like, "Well I guess he's alive now. Hrm."

    Teddy Rose learns from Christian that Sean is basicallypenniless, and she reveals that she proposed to him, which is probably whatmade him go off the deep end and try to Colleen Rose himself with sleepingpills. Teddy Rose offers to machine gun him to death with her leg, next time.



  • Apparently all that happened previously: on Nip/Tuck was that Christian got married to Liz and then didn't have cancer anymore. So if you've never seen this show before, congratulations -- you have zero catching up to do.

    The show opens in the 1980s, where an old lady's voice explains to us that when we were all born, the world was a gaudy, wealthy place full of people who had nothing better to spend their money on than cocaine, hairspray, and plastic surgery. Sean and Christian rode this wave of dollar bills, the old lady's voice tells us, until earlier this fiscal year, when the financial crisis that had been building for about a decade finally broke our boys' breast-ehnahncement-enhanced bank accounts.



  • How'd It Get Burned?
