I got into Nip/Tuck recently. I brought seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. Season 3 was out on 8th May, so I had to wait about two weeks for the cliffhanger to be resolved, and it was killing me. Poor Christian


I really liked Adrian in season 2, and thought he got a raw deal. When Ava started emotionally manipulating him, and admitting to seducing him at 12 when he believed she was his mother, I couldn't believe Julia and Sean didn't try and help him at all :/

Ava was mostly an evil bitch, but she was so fun to hate. And I did find her passing in that airport scene quite touching. Even if she had just left Adrian behind to rot *sighs* I was so shocked at the big reveal lol.


Kit mostly bugged me. The final scene with her and Quentin was pretty cool though. I don't know why, maybe I'm getting desensitized, but the revelation that Quentin didn't have a penis didn't particularly shock me. Especially not compared to how floored I was at the season 2 finale revelations on Ava. Actually it's a shame that Quentin and Kit weren't revealed sooner to the audience, so we could have had more scenes like "now drink your sangria you whiny bitch". It seemed they wanted to save the big shocks for the finale, but seeing them manipulating the other characters for a couple of episodes would have been really cool, just letting the audience in on the big reveal a little sooner

The carver terrified me when he was stalking Sean in the bathroom with that head-tilt *shivers* And when he suddenly appears behind Rhea (sp?) promising her real pain, and then that vicious slash.

Loved his final scene with Christian and Sean. It all tied together so nicely . (I loved an earlier scene when the song War starts to play with Quentin and Sean over surgery!) Maybe I'm twisted but heehee to "we made love" or "She offended me". He seemed to be having such a good time *g* And big aww to Christian offering to cut off his own hand to save Sean.

Knowing Kit was working with Quentin explained some of the things I was wondering about (like the unprofessional interrogation of Christian when she was getting off on him remembering the rape ick).

The saddest part of the storyline was what happened to Kimber. When she was in that bloody wedding dress ouch. Although her final turn-around conversation with Christian was a clever way of writing her out. I hope we see some of the changed Kimber next season. And a reconciliation with Christian! They're my two favourite characters, and in season 3 they suddenly became a really sweet couple.

Gina and Matt are my most disliked characters. Matt is just a freak, and anytime he's not in an episode, it's automatically better.


Overall I liked season 3 less than the first two seasons though. Sometimes Sean's storylines are really boring. Like the thing with the car accidents, or going into witness protection. And Christian/Quentin doing the cases just wasn't the same. I missed some of the cases from earlier seasons like Schillinger from Oz wanting the breasts. There seemed to be less of those type of cases, and more just personal misery for the characters.

I joined a Nip/Tuck community, but I'm not sure where to go to find music videos or fan fic? And who else on my flist watches it?

I think Adrian was too far gone for any help. I don’t think anyone could cut through that haze that Ava put him in. But Ava loved him in her sick sick sick way. Just like her ex loved her.

I hated Kit. Just from the moment I saw her. I was so glad when Quentin cut her. I wished they explored their dynamic more, but I remember watching the end scene with them by the pool over and over again. Their glee at perpetuating this grand hoax was great.

Gina and Matt are trash, but I think Matt is redeeming himself slowly but surely. Very slowly. Because I wanted him dead since he committed that hit and run during Season 1 and wouldn’t cop to it.

//. Like the thing with the car accidents, or going into witness protection.//

I actually forgot about that storyline, that’s how disinterested I was in it.

I was looking for fanfic, but I found the selection unsatisfying, so I just wait for the eppys.

Damn I was hoping to find some decent H/C for Sean and Christian :/

Yeah, I doubt if anyone could have helped Adrian, but I was surprised that Sean and Julia seemed so unconcerned. I mean Ava clearly treated him like crap, she accused him of mental problems, threw his clothes out. And I understand Matt being their main concern, but it was pretty upsetting that they only spared a thought for a teenage boy in so far as how his tragic lifestory would help them get Matt away from Ava. They didn't seem the slightest bit moved by it, and I would have thought the incest revelation would have caused more of a response.


And I know! The pool scene is what I was thinking of. They actually made a fun couple. When Quention sees someone else to go slash, and Kit's just throwing her hand up like it's the boring thing in the world. Heehee. More of those scenes of them working together as a couple would have been fun, but it seemed they wanted to save it up, just so they could include surprise twists for the finale.

I agree that Season 3 doesn't live up to Season 2 at all. And the Season 3 finale was a big let-down. But Season 2 was awesome.

I thought season 2 was a bit boring in the middle because of Sean and Christian being separated. Were we supposed to care about Sean's witness protection storyline? And planning to run away and start a new family was so OOC. Like he would ever leave Christian *g*

Season 2's finale was way more shocking. Loved the song played in the final 5 minutes. But I thought season 3's finale was still pretty good in how it dealt with the Carver, and Christian and Sean sticking by one another. My main problem was just the boring stuff in the middle of season 3. That plane episode with Julia *snore*

I thought Adrian was interesting from his first appearance. When he's dissing Matt, I started to wonder then about his relationship with his mother. He seemed jealous from the first.

I'd far rather watch him, than see Matt's teen angst, and trating Sean like crap. I cheered when Sean punched him :D

OMG!! Nip/Tuck!!! I used to watch that show, but then school got so busy.

Was S2 when Sean and Julia separated?

I need to see S3. I think I saw the premiere, but that was it.

They separated in season 1, but keep getting back together. Season 2 is when they break up for good (so far) when Sean realises Christian is the father of Matt. He wants a divorce, and Julia keeps begging him to come back. Then when Sean is ready to forgive, she's changed her mind about wanting him back. So indecisive

I Love Nip/Tuck but haven't explored the internet aspects. I've still to see the last half of the latest series - a kind friend has recorded it for me, but is still putting some other stuff on the tape. I skipped over some of your post so I didn't get spoiled :)

I also dislike Matt and that undercuts my enjoymnet of the scenes he's in. Also have some issues with Julia, but have loved some of her big episodes - the dream/operation one was cool.

When she dreams she's married to Christian? I loved that one! When Matt turns up as this geeky person, Sean's married to Megan, and Ava is guiding Julia through it all. Lol!

I LOVE Nip/Tuck. I have the biggest crush on Christian. Sorry James/Spike ;)

I wish there were more fan fiction stories out there. Some of our talented Buffy writers really have to start writing Sean/Christian. Or any other couples. As long as it's better quality as the stuff that is out there now.

Apologies but you be in for major show-bashing: I haaaaaaate Nip/Tuck. Soulless heartless piece of pretention pretending it's somehow got depth when all it has is smug cold crap. And Christian is on a level with Ana Lucia, I can't stand Julian McMahon. Dylan Walsh is a good actor in the wrong place and Roma Maffia is good. But they're not enough to save the show from its own horrible worthlessness. And there's Sean's horrible cold wife. Awful show. Ick. Ick ick ick ick ICK! God I hate that "Christian" bastard!

I love Sean and Christian's relationship. Especially when he finds out about Matt being Christian's son..."I loved you the most..." (At least I think that's what he said, I'm drawing a blank right now). Season three was definitely my favorite, it was so suspenseful with the Carver and Julia being pregnant. I'm glad it's Sean's baby and they seem to be getting back together. Matt is a freak, but I actually like his character I think he makes the show interesting.

The very end of the episode, Liz and Christian hear the heavy, rushing footsteps, and Sean bursts into the room, bears Christian down to the ground with his face distorted by rage, and growls "I loved you the most".

That scene's not burned into my brain or anything. Oh no.

I adore that show. Especially Sean and Christian's relationship, but the whole show is so perfectly crafted and so raw at the same time that sometimes I have a lump in my throat through an entire episode.

I too was also bugged by Kit, so I really liked that she turned out evil. It fitted very well with the sense that there'd always been something off about her.

Sean and Christian is my favourite relationship to watch for NT:)

When I first got the season 3 DVDs, I thought it was Ava on the cover. They kind of looked similar, and I don't know if they were trying to create a similarly manipulative character, but Kit just grated on my nerves most of the time. I would have loved to have seen more of her relationship with Quentin. Maybe next season *g*

LOVE Nip/ Tuck> Haven't seen season 3 yet. :( It's not shown on TV here and I'm waiting for the dvds to be released.

This (http://fryadvocate.livejournal.com/15944.html) is my favourite fanfic - and i have to say, the pickings are slim. I know the [livejournal.com profile] yuletide archive has a couple of good ones - and there's another one I *vaguely* remember but can't remember where I found it. Yeah - not very helpful, unfortunately. But there's really not a lot around. :(

I liked seasons 1 and 2 better as well. I hope season four goes back to how it was before. More character driven storylines. Hope to learn more about Christain. Can't stand Matt either. Was disappointed with the season three finale. I thought it was too predictable. Really love the show though. Seen every ep more than once. My favorite is the ep with Ava and her son- you know the one*please, mommy*:?)

I brought the first two seasons together, taking a gamble that I would like it. And then luckily season 3 was out 2 or three weeks later, so I could catch up on the cliffhanger.
