You know, if this continues, I may have to cancel my subscription to We Hate Julia McNamara Monthly. Of course, I shall keep my back issues, as hating her during the first two seasons is completely justified, but how AWESOME is it that she dumped Quentin's creepy ass? And that scene, "You're a bitch"/"At least I'm not your bitch", hahahah! Fuck off, Quentin. I can't believe I felt sorry for you earlier in this season.

And Erica, okay I love Erica in the first two seasons, but that is because her criticisms of Julia, much like my hate for her, are totally valid, but she was being all derogatory about the spa and okay I personally think spas are lame but! I think sucessful, motivated, independant woman are awesome and really, Erica was just being a cow. Not, you know, enough of a cow to justify smothering her with that pillow but I'm a little confused as to whether that actually happened or not so never mind.

Oh, the whole thing with Helen, that just made me cry. She was really the star patient of this episode, not that diabetic bloke who was basically just a backdrop for yet another of Sean's midlife crisis moments. And really, how many midlife crises are you allowed to have? I think that's the real reason Christian hasn't had one - Sean stole it so he could have two. Whiner.

And, and! Skinner from the X-Files was in that episode, and Sean was all, *angstymcangst* and he was like, shut up Sean, be a real doctor, and he kept calling Julia "Pre-med" and he was all complimentary but in a really gruff way which makes it even better because he's obviously not in the business of handling out compliments and I LOVE YOU RANDOM TRIAGE DOCTOR PLEASE COME BACK IN SEASON 4!

Noooo! Well, that part was awesome. I can't believe I almost slashed Quentin and Christian. And how can you not feel sorry for a man with no bits, huh? AND HOW DID JULIA NOT NOTICE HIM WITHOUT THE BITS-HAVING?

Yeah, Erica was kind of totally a bitch. And, omg, I am so glad I wasn't the only one who was all WTF!? at the end even before the "is she a ghost?" thing.

I don't remember Helen. I missed some episodes. Unless she was the older woman whose husband had Alzheimer's, in which case I cried and vowed to buy Deep Blue Sea as soon as possible. Because my mind works in odd ways.

YESPLZTHANKS.

Okay, now I remember Helen is burns lady and I liked diabetic guy, too. He was funny. But Helen, omigod, and then we had to see her back get all sliced and diced . . .

See, before he started annoying me, I would have slashed Sean and Quentin. Christian and Quentin might have fit better in season 2, when he gets called in to fix Sean's face after the Carver attack because Christian is waiting for the results of his HIV test, but Christian is so blatently hostile to him right from the moment he shows up as a new partner in season 3. That's why I felt sorry for him; he hasn't actually done anything wrong, he's just unlucky enough to get dragged into another of McNamara/Troy's marital spats. Plus, although I did love the scene where Christian is teasing Sean about Quentin having a "man-crush" (best phrase ever!) on him - mostly for Christian's amazing gronky laugh - if I was Quentin, I would have been furious at having my sexual preferences gossiped about, and his smackdown was not only justified but extremely well-delivered.

Of course, then he went and ruined it all by being a dickmonkey, so now I hate him and I hope he gets Carved.

I still can't decide if Julia hallucinated killing her or hallucinated her turning up at the end of that episode or what. I mean, it's not like all three of the main characters don't have a history of imagining things that never actually happened - Kimber dying in triage, the whole alternate reality with Ava as a tour guide, Sean talking to a severed head as he performs a facelift - it's madness!

Ellie Harkness was the woman who's husband had Alzheimers; she was in that episode with the fake Carver victim who cuts her own face to get attention. That episode broke my heart too; when Sean asks if he can take her to lunch and she responds with this quiet, painful dignity that she's just going to visit with Carl and Trudy, and Dylan Walsh looks all awkward and embarrased and absolutely stricken for her and it's so sad and so brilliantly acted by both of them.

See, my Nip / Tuck watching is so fractured. I don't have the DVD's, I have dial-up which makes uploading / downloading / INTERNET absolute hell, and my parents and entire family freak at the thought of the show. So I've seen the Pilot, that one in the first season where Matt tries to circumsize himself and then catches his skank girlfriend with her skank girlfriend, the Season 3 open, a few inbetween that (Kiki, um, the plane one) and the season finale--which is actually two episodes.

Heh. Man-crush. And dickmonkey! *howls*

They are all on drugs. Didn't see the Ava thing. Saw one of them. And him in the beginning of this season, squick.

I know, wasn't it awesome? And the way her face faded, and her husband was all, "You're beautiful." and then all "This is my girlfriend Trudy" and she just stood there and then sat with them and if I ever get Alzeheimer's I am going to pay someone before my mind goes to shoot me in my sleep.

Also . . . what do you think of Cherry Peck?

The pilot is awesome; the scene with Christian smashing open the frame that contains the first dollar they ever made together, that cringeworthy sex scene with Sean and Julia where she's doing the grocery list in her head and he's thinking about firing the gardener, and Sean and Christian cleaning out the boot of the car at the end - Sean licking his finger to get out a bloodstain and Christian giving him that worried look: "You're a little too good at this. It scares me."/"Good. It's good that you're scared of me."

I felt really bad for Matt and Sean in that episode where he finds out Vanessa is cheating on him; it's like, they've just managed to make a connection and now it's all messed up and Matt lies to him and then goes to Christian for advice.

Have you seen the one where Sean and Christian go to Christian's cake tasting together? So cute! And then Kimber leaves him at the altar (or so we think) and Christian is like, "My fiancee left me at the altar and my partner left me for a midlife crisis," and Sean's all, "I can help with one of those things" and awww! Because I hate it when they're seperated; they just don't work apart.

I haven't seen all of season 3 yet - I know Cherry comes back in the second to last episode, but for now I'm only up to Joy Kringle and Cherry is basically "the girl from the transexual bar that Matt beat up that pissed on him afterwards," so I don't really have an opinion.

I know! Omigod, I want to see it again now. I remember the sex, though, EW. And that line was absolutely perfect.

Yeah, that sucked. I went from Pilot to mid-season 2 and I was all, WTF!? Matt's a bastard! CHRISTIAN IS HIS FATHER!? Julia, you skank ho bag~!

No, I haven't, but now I want to. And they don't, they really don't, which tells you how much they rely on eachother if not even their womenfolk can help 'em out. One thing I dislike about the series is--where the feck does Annie go amidst all this bong-smoking and tranny-exploration and midlifecrisising???

Ohh. Lemme know when you do.
