So I am watching season #2 of Nip/Tuck (a show which has turned into yet another guilty pleasure), and yes, the entire show is over the top, and yes, Kimber may be the hottest blonde in television history (and I mean ever), and yes, I know it is just a cheesy drama, but one thing keeps going through my head during season #2-
What in the hell gives Sean the right to be such an unmitigated jerk to Julia, whose one sin was to love him for 20 years? And how do you just stop have feelings for someone and turn into a sadistic bastard?
Seriously- maybe I am just new to the whole soap opera genre (and that is what this show is- don’t fool yourself), but this aspect of the show makes it seem extra absurd.
BTW- Nip/Tuck= Best. Music. EVER. The theme song is hideous, but the music they use throughout the show is outstanding.

I’m only a occasional viewer of N/T, but I do seem to recall another reason Sean can be quite legitamately mad at her – I don’t know exactly where you are in the viewing and I don’t remember when this reason is revealed, so I won’t Rosebud it – but there is a good reason for the anger.

Damn, get out much? If not, can you post a picture of Kimber?
Thanks

Dude? you seen the rest of the show? Kimber is not the hottest, she is the archetype of hot. . . If you seen season three? or end of season two?, the tranny, is the hottest, and in this season the cop “kit,” the brittish broad from “The Practice” and “Boston Legal” is the hottest chick in all of the little screen flicks.
Nip Tuck is over the top, Nip tuck is a soap opera, and until this season one of the series most worth watching, but the TV show with the best music, is without a doubt(with NEAR competition from “The Shield”) “Wanted.” Also, I love seeing Gary Cole playing a role, relatively atypical from his normal noble persona.

Oh! and in the FIRST season, it is CLEAR why Sean might be angry at julia, if it took you till the end of the second to question why Sean might wonder about Julia’s distance, and it WAS Julia, then you are very slow on the uptake. Brian was right. . . There is a reason, I will give you 2 or 3 more seasons to catch up John :)

Lord. You sound like a teenage girl talking about her favorite soap opera! :-)

Guilty pleasure? Guilty pleasure???
You know nothing about guilty pleasures — NOTHING — until you’ve watched Footballers’ Wives and Mile High on BBC America. You may hate yourself after watching, but its some of the best crap I’ve seen in years.

Hehe – no kiddin’! A comment section full of guys talking about Soaps. What’s next — a forum on Brokenback Mountain.
Are we metrosexuals or geeks? Can we be both?

I’d ask how it is you can actually care about such shit, but then you might actually answer and let me know.
Isn’t there someone in that God-forsaken hillside you live on that will screw you in exchange for a steak dinner or something?
Of course, my kids enjoy TV. And it does keep them from fighting with each other, at least for a little bit.
I’ve thought of taking the tube and the rest of the electronic marvels out of the original housing and relocating them to the inside of a toilet. That way when they sit and watch it they’ll get a proper perspective on what it is they’re gawping at.

Enjoy Season 2 because those are the last semi-worthwhile epidsodes. Season 3 is nothing more than glamourized script versions of extreme supermarket tabloid headlines.

My fiance is a big Nip/Tuck fan, as well as a big fan of almost all F/X shows like the Shield, Rescue Me, and a couple others i can’t remember right now.
Nip/Tuck, like almost all the others on F/X, was good during the first season because it was original and took some chances and was kind of risque, but then they realized that there was a lot they could get away with, and then they became more concerned with showing some ass, having graphic sex scenes, and throwing in as much profanity as possible.
Granted, I’m not saying all that offends me (it doesn’t), because i’m quite happy with seeing Kimber’s ass or watching her get nailed, but, again, like almost everything else on F/X, seeing how much they could get away with took the place of good plots and good writing.

If it ain’t in HD I ain’t watching it. Its not an elitist thing. Regular tv looks like ass on an HD set, especially a rear projection HD set.
