So right away I was thinking Its not even December why are we getting a Christmas episode already Then I remembered that we only have two more episodes left for this season the season finale airs as early as December 12 and December begins this Friday Happy holidays Actually this episode was more like Halloween meets Christmas Id like to officially place Jacqueline Bissets James character in the category of TVs all-time creepiest characters As soon as Sean asked Reefer the homeless man Charles Haid to stay the night at McNamaraTroy after Sean stitched up his face I knew that James would make Reefer her next victim But I didnt expect her to kill him by removing just about all of his organs how refreshing Then I thought about it of course she had to kill him and strategically remove his body from the premises without the knowledge of the FBI surveillance guards If she kept him alive with just an organ or two removed it wouldve been too obvious

Question: Thank god for FX and its Famke-love. Any news on what Famke Janssen's character will be on The Shield?
Answer: As I mentioned in Press Tour Diary: Fox Day Two, it's Franka Potente, not Famke Janssen, who's doing The Shield. And she's playing the wife of an Armenian mob boss. BTW, FX screened the sixth-season premiere for critics at press tour, and I'm not overselling it when I say it's a step up from brilliant. There's a scene between Forest Whitaker and Michael Chiklis outside Kavanaugh's house that will give you goose bumps. I'm counting the days until January.

Question: I take issue with your answer to Shelley's question in last week's column. The newest Nip/Tuck preview features several clips of Famke Janssen that are almost definitely not from last season. Also, I don't think they would use her in the promo if she was not going to be coming back. Just my opinion!
Answer: Since you clearly don't believe me, I'll share with you a direct quote from FX's Nip/Tuck spokesman, Scott Seomin: "The Famke scene in the new promo trailer was shot last year but not used episodically. It ended up on the cutting-room floor." FXecs featured Famke in said promo because they were hoping she'd come back — and, as luck would have it, hope sprung eternal late Monday: Seomin now confirms that the X-symbol will film a fa

Question: I think you're wrong about Famke Janssen possibly not being back on Nip/Tuck. Why do I say this? In the previews they're showing for the new season she is in a couple of clips. Now let's try to be more observant!
Answer: I'll make you a deal: I'll try to be more observant if you try to be a little less naive. Those clips of Famke were from last season. There's still no deal for this season. (I didn't want to take that tone with you, but you kinda forced my hand, Shell.)
