After a four-week break it was nice to revisit the adventures of our favorite fantastically plastic duo Too bad we still dont know what Eden put in that dang fruitcake four weeks ago All we know is that it gives Julia spontaneous nosebleeds which just makes Christian pout about being deprived of sex with his best friends ex Speaking of Eden how lovely to have a completely Eden-free episode Sure the skank returns next week but it was pleasant to get through an entire hour without her Four characters returned that I enjoy Dawn Budge Rosie ODonnell Freddie Oliver Platt Aidan Bradley Cooper and after a long time away Gina Jessalyn Gilsig Ill get to Ginas return laterEver since we first met Freddie it was beyond apparent that he was gay Then when Freddie and Dawn started dating besides thinking Huh I was immediately reminded of Dana Carveys character on SNL Lyle The Effeminate Heterosexual So leave it to Dawn to budge it out of him after seeing

I always know Im going to like an episode of any TV show when they include flashbacks to the childhood of one of the characters especially when we get to learn something new about that character That was the case tonight when we discovered that Sean himself had a facial deformity as a youth and had plastic surgery to correct it No wonder hes been freaking out about Conors situation and about his eventual corrective surgery As Julia told Sean That kid is why youre a plastic surgeon Glad they ended up going forward with the surgery and so far Conor seems to be OK Didnt the promos for tonight with Sean saying to Julia I have something to tell you make you think he was going to come clean about his affair with the tragically departed Monica But now Julia has something to hide from Sean her little kiss with Marlowe Interesting line that Marlowe muttered as he walked out Thats why I have to leave You could tell he was into Julia but I didnt think she re

Nip/TuckHow do I start? Hmm. How about this. The show ended and my cell phone rang. It was TVGuide.com's own Daniel Coleridge. I answered because I was dying to hear what he thought of tonight's two-hour season finale. Daniel's a good friend and besides, he's the one who covered Nip/Tuck for Watercooler before I took over this season. "I'm disappointed!" declared Daniel. "Me too!" said I. So at least I wasn't alone. Why oh why did they make Quentin the Carver?!? How terribly predictable. FX even tried throwing us off by releasing that photo of a bloody and carved Quentin. Then they showed Liz being interrogated in last week's coming attractions — another way to throw us off. When that Carver mask came off and it was Quentin's face, I screamed "No!" I so wanted it to be someone we

Question: I recorded Nip/Tuck for the first time ever to catch Anne Heche in the first episode of her story arc. I noticed that one of the producers was Jennifer Salt. The Jennifer Salt? Eunice Tate from Soap? Just curious.
Answer: Yep, one and the same. She's not the only former performer on Nip/Tuck's talented writing/producing staff. Those with good sitcom memories may remember co-executive producer Lyn Greene (then known as Lynnie) co-starring with Bess Armstrong in the 1977 comedy On Our Own ...

So now Sean isn't the only one who knows the Carver raped Christian. How pathetic was it that that woman faked being a Carver victim just to get attention, only to become a real Carver victim in the end? I was freaking out during the scene when the anesthesia wasn't working while they were trying to fix her face. The few times I have had surgery (not plastic, mind you, I'm not that old), I've feared that the anesthesia wouldn't work and I would feel the knife cutting into me. Ouch. Pretty intense ending with Christian getting the failed anesthesia tested on himself while Sean was at home cutting his arm to inflict the pain he wanted dispensed by Matt. Matt certainly said it correctly after he refused to punch Sean back: "You're very sad." At least Matt dropped the restraining order. Offering Matt a drink was a stupid thing for Sean to do.
Speaking of sad, how about the other story line — the wife who got plastic surgery so her husband with Alzheimer's disease would remember
