This was a boring episode. It seemed like a lot of time passed since the last episode, at first I thought I missed one.

I also thought it was a pretty enjoyable episode. I'm getting a little tired of this show, though.

I've been getting tired of this show as well, but this was one of the better episodes of the season. I loved the ending.

I have to agree that this show has reached the point where it is pretty much just spinning its wheels. There doesn't appear to be anything new they can do with the characters that will prove to be interesting. Christian, at this point, is just beyond redemption. He used to be my favorite character, but he is such a callous prick and I couldn't care less if he lives or dies now. Sean is just plain boring, and I don't know how many more times we can see the same relationship dynamic between he and Julia be rehashed.

It's almost dumbfounding when you think about how innovative this show was just a couple years ago. It's like it is a victim of itself.

I thought this was a pretty good ep (and probably the best of a very weak season). I really enjoyed ol' crazy jigsaw face.

Now next week however, looks completely terrible. Almost as bad as Dirt.

This episode was all over the place. I like it better when it's more focused.

The dialogue between Bobolit and Christian was hilarious. The rest was average.

I'm starting to wonder if this is the last year. Why else revisit the issues they have? Of course, we would still need visits from the nympho, the trannies, and the Carvers to put a real bow on things.

I agree. The only thing I have seen recently is a show trying to up itself in shock value each week.
Can't Julia ever be happy for more than 15 minutes a season?
Christian has not advanced as a character. Everytime you think he's learning, he takes two steps back.
It's old!


You think they're pushing that Dirt show??

Heres part of an article from IMDB:

"...Richardson fears she'll never be able to return to Nip/Tuck, but series creator Ryan Murphy is hoping her character Julia McNamara, will be back. He says, "I don't want to do the show without her."

Maybe with her leaving they can spin some good storyline out of it. Death, leaving, kidnapping, who knows.

I'm thinking her face gets slashed, and after surgery she looks like a different actress. Maybe a midget actress. With lobster hands. And a mammectomy.
