Nip/Tuck

Tell me what you don't like about yourself is how each episode of Nip/Tuck opens. If you're not familiar with Christian Troy, Sean McNamara and the crew, then you're missing out on a real treat. Nip/Tuck truly pushes the line for what can be shown on cable television, not that there is a line any more with the mess they show on the regular channels.

These season the producers of the show were nice enough to grant us the regular presence of an African-American character with the lovely Sanaa Latham. Needless to say, she's doing an excellent job even though they made her be an ex-escort turned doctor. I'll keep my mumbles to myself about why they chose this as her former profession, but since Christian is such a sex fiend I guess it works. Unfortunately, viewing the promo for the season finale I hope that she makes it to the next season. Hey, do you remember when television shows had REAL seasons? Now shows give you 8 episodes and call it a wrap. What's that about? My Good Times DVDs have like 20 episodes on one season.

Anyway, last night's episode (which I already relayed to an attentive boyfriend...he's getting better about at least listening to me describe the shows) dealt with Sean preparing to sell his house and leave the business, Kimber announcing that 18 year old Matt isn't satisfying her in bed while she grows bored with being a Scientologist, and Christian continues on with the adoption process for his black son who really isn't his son. To comment on that, I was waiting for Christian's slutty homegirl to make her return. This chick had slept with over 300 men in a year because she has a sex addiction. She told Christian she was pregnant from him and the baby turned out to be black, but Christian decided to raise him anyway, until the real father stepped back in. Now his real father, an old ass black man, is dead and left his now 4 year old son to Christian. As mentioned previously, Christian is dating Sanaa (I don't know what her name is on the show...I call her Sanaa) and has had to convince her to adopt this little black boy. She's been thinking about it but decided to go through with it by the episode's end. Now Sanaa has been helping her ex-madam steal folks kidneys against her will, still that was getting a little played out they had ol' girl show up and blow her brains out. Unlike other Nip/Tuck characters, I guess that means she won't be returning.

I would have to say my favorite characters are Christian and Kimber. I love telling the story of how Kimber thought she was a dime piece and Christian checked her and then gave her plastic surgery to make her into one. She's a nice looking girl, being honest, and she wears some hot outfits. Did I mention she's sleeping with Christian's 18 y/o son? But we don't know how long that will last since she said he's boring in bed. I guess an 18 y/o would be boring to a porn star.

Anyway, the season finale happens next week. It looks like a goodie and again, Sanaa might die. I'm sure she won't though, but who knows. They might not want a black character on the show on a regular basis.

Ok, I have to stop myself because I'll go into all the past story lines of this show. If you've never seen it you gotta go to Blockbuster and get the season DVDs. You will not be disappointed. One of my friends rented a couple and he was turning to me every five minutes asking me what was going to happen. This is a tottally unpredictable show and I'm so glad my friend recommended that I start watching it after I started losing it when Six Feet Under went off. Oh, Six Feet Under... I loved Six Feet Under. I'm still disguisted with HBO about taking the show off, I'd watched every single episode.

So check out the You Tube's below for Nip/Tuck and Six Feet. I'll talk about Six Feet another time, otherwise we'd be here all day.
