nychen [admin's] thoughts4x0409.26.2006 maybe i should've eaten some hash brownies before i watched this episode. i literally LOL so much i thought i was watching a comedy! er...maybe the writers were on pot when writing this episode. i mean, what were they thinking? this almost brings up the whole 'jumped a shark' thought... don't want to go there. please. or we could call this episode... liz gets lucky. er, make that unlucky... i love that when liz wakes up, there's a phone taped to her hand, and she just takes that in stride and answers it without blinking funny. of course, then it's: "your liver's been surgically removed." AHAHAH!!! oh *sigh* how life sucks for liz, her character always gets the fuck'd end of the swizzle stick. somehow every season, there's an episode that makes the audience feel terrible for liz, maybe the writers feel guilty for leaving liz out of the show so much that they have to write pity episodes. i mean it IS sad that she got taken advantage of, but seriously, every season we get to see liz like 4-5 times and it's always some kind of bad luck. let's nickname her 'bad luck lizzy'. AHA. lots of ladies to keep up with this season. julia with her post partum-depression, where's brooke shields when you need her? this is the exact ripped-from-the-headlines copyplot for julia's character...i'm not liking it. it seems very setup. so does the whole scientology shit which well, thank goodness i dont have to listen to matt and kimber blabber on about. maybe someone who looks like tom cruise will pop up? what about baby suri? and anyone else noticing other huge ripped-from-the-headlines copyplot?! like melissa gilbert's character...the woman who's pet dog attacked her at home, of course i dont think that woman was having her dog lick her for peanut butter though. or maybe this is based on some kind of [unreported news] husband comes home from iraq to find his wife cheating on home...this whole gilbert character plot is retarded. i mean please...why are people always walking into the mcnamara/troy building without supervision?! with all the goddamn new characters, why not add a secretary or body guard?! AHAH!!! but maybe only 5 people actually work in the whole building. let's count: sean, christian, liz, linda [nurse] and now michelle. and with liz out of commission for 3-6 weeks, who will be taking care of all the other patients in the building?! it's wholly retarded how the company actually works if you think about it. let's not. anyone notice some of scenes without any bit of music...i really enjoyed that. sometimes you just need silence. it makes a scene alot more dramatic and to the point. no, you weren't high...escobar gallardo appeared in sean's maniac mind after eating those pot-laced brownies. how old is monica wilder's character again?! she looks like she's 30, but acts like she's 10. back to the tattooman we all love from season1...escobar! no he's not back on the show to wreck havoc cause well, he's a hallucination and he's himself [looks the same, if you remember he did get that facelift]. sean also hallucinated megan o'hara, breast-cancer-lady. all 3 together in a frame, nice...but it was freaking ridiculous. escobar was funny and most in character, but the whole scene was LOL. does anyone actually believe sean when he refuses/rejects monica and then leaves and is going to pretend all's okay to julia? thank goodness there was that bit scene with manny [er, man nanny played by peter dinklage] who witnessed crazy monica [no, not the one from "friends", aha] busting into sean's office. i am mesmerized by peter dinklage. damn he's good looking. i bet alot of fans who saw the preview for 4x04 [this episode] thought julia was going to cheat on sean with mr. manny...thankfully that didnt happen. i dont think i could bare again, having the season2/3 plot cycle over again as julia and sean cheat on each other. i'm not a fan of getting together, breaking up, getting together, breaking up, getting-type of plots. it's a bore. it's overused on every single drama and comedy and tv/movie. please let "Nip/Tuck" be original. can someone tell me if the baby used for baby connor is wearing fx or not for the hands? it would be daring if it wasn't special effects/makeup/prosthetics. cause i think a show like this would show real people. are husbands suppose to be offering their wives beer when she's milking the baby? did anyone think that when sean grabbed 2 beers out of the fridge and gave julia one?! and then next, he sneaks a peek inside her purse and then tells her that she shouldnt be milking when taking prescriptions...is that a bit hypocritical? of course, julia's not yet taking the pills, but sean...WTF is up with him?! seriously... and WTF is up with the big-ass adam and eve mural in the baby's room? the baby carriage has colorful cute little stuffed elephants and giraffes, etc and the room has frames of colorful cute rabbits and bears, and then on the wall, there's this dark brooding biblical mural. SCARY! and completely out of place...who wrote that into the show?!! someone should paint over it. immediately. now. i'm not even going to bother addressing that jacqueline bisset character. i thought it was going to be the "melrose place" woman [josie bisset?], AHA...i'm unimpressed. as for larry hagman reappearing suddenly, just to remind us he's still alive and kicking, and got a hot wife...it's boring. yes hagman did say the line: "look who's here to take care of your old man's balls." *gag* how did christian get from the bedroom to the library room so fast?! as for michelle's character/plot...the reveal isn't as interesting as the whole mysterious 'is-she-a-lesbo-or-not' theory...or even the connection to a mob. guess that lovely shits out the window. please please do not tell me she slept with christian. why?! writers...stop ruining everyone. stop tainting everyone's character with christian's goddamn semen. the whore is christian, he's a fucking black plague. i think his character is just getting more and more poorly written, that he's contaminating all the possibly good characters/plots and literally screwing them up to where they lead nowhere. anything christian touches dies, that means the character too...any scene with any other characters with christian in it will end badly. historically...let's take gina. i loved gina's character...christian fucked her and she's outta the picture. so is baby wilbur. let's take the carver. i think the carver storyline wasn't as bad but then it was all connected to kit and quentin and christian fucked kit and she's outta the picture. so is quentin. let's take kimber. i loved her kimber's character from season1 and 2...christian fucked her and she's outta the picture. basically she's dead to him right now and she's pushed aside for guest roles. is "Nip/Tuck" fucked? let's bring up the whole 'jumped the shark' thought...is anyone else thinking the same? yes i remember creator ryan murphy saying this season is back to the darker drama and character focus and plot, blah blah blah...but damn, WTF happened to the show i loved in season1 and 2?! WTF happened to just two docs who are trying to live their life?! what's with all the goddamn bullshit?! it feels like filler in every episode with all the weird plotting of ripped-from-the-headlines, guest stars and out-of-character characters?! maybe if i had taken one of monica wilder's hash brownies [mmhm brownies] i would actually not care about this episode and just completely ignore it. cause really...it sucks. sucks like a black hole of season4 and heck, the whole damn series. i'm starting to feel sad about this season. like that expectations, which i dont really have and are basically really low, are not going in the right direction or even going to be met at the lowest level. what's going on?! did season4 get all new writers or something? did all the season3 carver writers get fired?! AHAHAH!! maybe i should start reading fanfic instead...fanfic has usually had the best in-character writing and very good plots. fans know the show, and they write consistently and like they love it. this episode in particular is just bad. rotten to the core. i'll have to make sure to never rewatch it cause i'll just die laughing at the absurdity of crap stuffed into the scenes and feel really bad for the actually good acting. the actors are trying so hard to impress that i think the poorly written dialogue/script/plot is just ridiculous compared to it...wow, this is depressing. maybe i need some of julia's depression pills! hand'm over, or better yet, give me some of liz's morphine and maybe i'll feel better! F PS. suggestions to make the show better: PPS. if you're wondering how i could rate so low...well, i loved 4x03 (rated A)...
