Lovin It/Hatin It: The Nip/Tuck Season Finale
Let me start off by saying that plausibility has never been Nip/Tuck‘s strong suit. If it was, the series wouldn’t be so deliciously bad. But after watching last night’s episode, I seriously had to say: “C’mon!”
I really loved the show’s move to Los Angeles and talked about the reinvigorated program a few months ago. Unfortunately, Tuesday’s closer was way too over the top for me….and now I’m afraid I have to admit I hated it.
Sean McNamara and Christian Troy have taken us through a lot of strange storylines, so when things got ugly with pseudo-agent Colleen Rose this season, I grimaced but went along with it. (As disgusting as the murder of the real agent was, I had to admit that ‘stuffing’ him was at least creative.) Really, things weren’t that much different this year than when The Carver was still around.
But seriously….how could one family have so many problems? And at the same time?

Nip/Tuck in LA: Did You Like The Move?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Nip/Tuck, Editorial,
When Sean and Christian made the move to LA at the end of last season, I was a bit worried. After several successful years in Miami, would this be the time when Nip/Tuck officially jumped the shark? But after watching the Season 5 premiere, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the reinvigorated series. A change in location was exactly what the show - and the viewers - needed.
For those who didn’t get to watch last night’s episode (or completely disagree with me altogether), let me tell you what I loved about the debut.

Nip/Tuck Doctors Get More Dollars
Posted by Jill Tecler Categories: Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck, Talent,
Lucky for Dr. Christian Troy and Dr. Sean McNamara that the villainous Carver’s reach was unable to get to their bank accounts. Yesterday, cable network FX announced that in light of Nip/Tuck’s record ratings last season, series stars Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh will both be awarded with substantial raises this year, bringing their total earnings for the upcoming fourth season to close to $1.8 million each. While the specifics related to the dollar amount have not been confirmed, it’s believed that this increase is almost twice as much as each actor received for the third season, where memorable moments outside of the Carver included the return of Gina, a pregnant Mrs. Santa Claus, ax-wielding Mr. Alderman and a gorilla named Kiki.

Nip/Tuck Reveals Identity Of The Carver To Disgruntled Fans
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Groans were heard all over TV land when the Carver was unmasked on Tuesday’s episode of Nip/Tuck. For the most part, fans appeared disappointed with the all-too-predictable choice of villain. Turns out, just about anyone would have been more interesting. A much bigger shocker was the psychotic behavior of Ariel’s father, who seemed just as vicious as The Carver ever did. Some things most fans seemed to like were the return of Cherry Peck, the reconciliation of Julia and Sean, Christian’s show of loyalty to his partner and best friend, and Matt’s stepping away from the dark side. Although The Carver was revealed, Nip/Tuck couldn’t leave the viewers with looming questions. Alas, we have to wait until next season to find out: Will Kimber change her mind? What is wrong with Julia’s baby? Did Matt and Cherry really commit murder? Disappointments aside, this is one show viewers will be tuning in to next season.
Nip/Tuck To Reveal Identity Of The Carver
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Finally. The moment Nip/Tuck fans have been waiting two whole seasons for: the identity of The Carver will be revealed Tuesday, December 20th. The Carver, a serial rapist/murderer, has aimed most of his crimes at Sean McNamara and Christian Troy, plastic surgeons who provide the ‘beauty’ that The Carver despises. It’s not only the suspense that will have fans tuning in to FX at 10p.m. for the two hour season finale. Many of the show’s watchers are simply weary of the story line, and are eager for it to be over. So much of the show has focused on The Carver lately that many people feel the best characters are being overlooked. Whatever your motivation, be sure to tune in to FX for the big reveal.
A Snow Job On Nip/Tuck
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck, Talent,
The adorable Brittany Snow will began her guest appearance spot on Nip/Tuck last night as a new love interest for Matt. Fans who are used to Snow’s sweet, well-scrubbed, character Meg on American Dreams are in for quite a shock. As a young woman with extreme views, Snow’s Nip/Tuck persona, Ariel, will lead the troubled Matt into even darker waters.
Nip/Tuck: Is The Blade Losing Its Edge?
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Fans have been concerned about one of their favorite shows: Nip/Tuck. Most of the unease seems to revolve around ‘The Carver’ storyline, which the show has heavily focused on since the second half of season 2. The show gained such a huge following in the first season largely due to the way it focused on the pain and terror inside us all, the way we try to change the outside to quiet the monsters inside. Now, with The Carver as a central focus, those emotions have been taken outside of the characters and transformed into a ‘real life’ monster…which has proven to be less fascinating than the original insights. The possibilities were looking up, though, on last night’s episode. Christian dealing with family demons, Sean facing the loss of his family, and both doctors realizing something is missing without their long-time friendship, harkens back to the first season. Bring on the demons, Nip/Tuck. Just keep them inside.
Nip/Tuck: Remember to Turn Back Your Clocks!
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Okay – is it just me, or does this show have some serious issues with chronology? I really do love Nip/Tuck and am willing to overlook its flaws for the sake of overall enjoyment, but the glaring errors with time cannot go without comment.
Going back to the show from two weeks ago—
Let’s assume that it took about a week for Sean to agree to the crematorium job that was presented to him (the mortuary couldn’t have let those dismembered corpses wait any longer.) Are we supposed to believe that in the same amount of time: Gina pitched her proposal to Julia about the spa.. the ladies presented their plan to McNamara/Troy.. the building was purchased and permits were secured… and a crew had been hired and already started working?? Seriously—by the time Sean got around to dismembering Frankenlaura, the women were already
into their project!!
Now let’s proceed to last week’s episode—
Let’s again assume that it took about a week for Christian to meet with a patient then eventually agree to saw off his leg. In this short period of time: the ladies were able to conceive a new semen-based product.. collect samples from a sperm bank… mix the final ingredients and package it.. present their idea to Joan Rivers.. get it on QVC.. and then already determine that they will turn a profit in their first year?
I mean, I know that women can multitask—and can move mountains when working in threes—but they’re not miracle workers. It pains me to say this: but we’re not gods.
