Episode Recap: "Candy Richards" | Nip/Tuck | 2/20/2008
Back on November 14, 2006, when we saw the future lives of the Nip/Tuck characters, I mostly praised the episode since it was such a pleasant change of pace. What I wasn't thinking at the time was how unfortunate it would become as a viewer that we know exactly what will become of the characters. So Julia got shot last week — so what? We know that she survives since she was in the future episode. So Christian and Annie got in a car crash caused by paparazzi this week. We knew immediately that they'd be OK since they're also in that episode. And now, even after multiple knife stabs in his back by crazy Colleen at the very end, even though blood was gushing out of his mouth, Sean can't be dead: he, too, was in that damn futuristic episode. Of course, one can argue that the episode-of-the-future could've just been someone's dream, but it wasn't presented that way when it aired so I guess I have the right to bitch about it, right? Imagine how shocking and suspenseful that stabbing... read more
As American Idol Truly Begins, Nip/Tuck Ends | Roush Dispatch | 2/20/2008
When Nip/Tuck’s Julia McNamara (Joely Richardson) woke up from her gunshot coma in a state of retrograde amnesia, I found myself thinking: Can I have some of what she’s having? There’s a lot about Tuesday night’s TV offerings I’d like to forget, from the musical mediocrity of American Idol’s disappointing opening night of actual competition to the bloody mess of Nip/Tuck’s season finale.Regarding Idol: I can’t imagine it will be all that hard to kick two male contestants on Thursday night’s results show. Honestly, I’d be hard-pressed to find two guys to keep.OK, that’s overstating things a bit. I could make a plausible case for five, maybe six of the guys. But only a precious few showed any actual star quality, or joy in performing: young charmer David Archuleta, who, as Ryan Seacrest noted, many of the viewing audience would probably like to adopt; Australian hottie Michael Johns, who just as many might prefer to marry; and... read more
Episode Recap: "Lulu Grandiron" | Nip/Tuck | 2/6/2008
As I've been quite verbal about in the past, I was a huge Knots Landing fan. So after reading about this episode and then seeing the coming attractions last week, I was, needless to say, excited. I mean, how could I not be? Donna Mills was portraying a rich Beverly Hills socialite named Lulu Grandiron and she and her friends married wealthy high-powered execs, "divorced them and then took all their money." And adding to a true Knots fan's delight, one of those friends (Annette) was played by Joan Van Ark. All they needed was Michele Lee and it would've been more of a complete set. But I'm thinking that Michele was asked but declined since the four rich women were all plastic surgery fanatics and maybe Michele didn't want to admit she's had work done? Those two other roles were filled by women who co-starred on other prime-time soaps in the '80s: Shari Belafonte (she's dropped the "Harper") from Hotel played Catherine in the really bad wig and Deborah Shelton from Dallas was Marla... read more
Episode Recap: "Kyle Ainge" | Nip/Tuck | 1/30/2008
After talkin' smack about last week's episode, I'm happy to say I enjoyed this one more. I wouldn't place it in the "fabulous" file, but it sure was better than a week ago. I specifically liked the macabre feel, especially in my favorite scene: the way Colleen (Sharon Gless) killed CAA talent agent Bob Levitz (Todd Cahoon)! I'll get to that later. I want to start with how differently I felt about the Colleen character this week compared to last. Now that we realize she really isn't the power agent she was claiming to be, that she's an unknown low-life crazy stalker pretending to be a Hollywood power player, suddenly I like her. Last week, it bothered me when she asked Sean to touch her boobs. I felt no strong female agent would be caught dead doing that. Color me naïve. I totally fell for her act. I should've picked up the clue phone when Sean dropped Colleen off in front of her fancy house, drove away and then Colleen turned around and kept walking. Naïve moi thought she... read more
Episode Recap: "Magda & Jeff" | Nip/Tuck | 1/23/2008
I'm going to cut to the chase and say that this was one of my very least favorite episodes since the series began, but that ending was one of the best ever. How's that for running the gamut? Let's start with that ending: Ding-dong the witch is dead! Just when I thought I was happy to see Gina back because I thought she changed her wicked ways, here she was being more sadly pathetic than ever. So pathetic that I grimaced every time she was on screen after that scene when she paid the Gina-look-alike (Ali Raymer) to have sex with Christian while she watched...and then begged Christian to "Kiss me!" Then when she morphed further into Alex Forrest and lied by manipulating Julia into thinking Christian could be HIV positive because she was having sex with him, I cringed even more. I wanted the bee-yotch to get punished for her craziness. I was so glad to see Christian hand her the restraining order towards the very end. How many of you were thinking (or perhaps screaming): "No way! He... read more
