Nip/Tuck ramblings

The show is just become far too fragmented. Most notably is Kit being attacked and ending that episode with Christian starting the consultation. And then that’s it. For going on 3 weeks. The whole Carver reign of terror (for lack of a better term) has been going on for months (in the show) but it’s like it’s pushed to the side and just forgotten until there’s an episode that needs filling.

That said, I do like the split between Sean and Christian. They’re like parallel people. They’re both miserable, but each one is walking on a the other side of a fence. Sean has lost everything and now feels empty and is trying to find what he’s missing. He’s broken away from everything he’s known, but keeps filling that void with the wrong thing. There is no way this Witness Protection chick will do anything but fuck him up further. And Julia is just as fucking dumb as he is. Now Christian is settling down and becoming more of a whole person. He now weighs his options more, he’s dealing with ethics…more like the way Sean was (as Quentin pointed out). And Kimber looks to be that one piece he’s always been looking for. And you better believe that’s not going to end well either.

While I don’t like the crazy paths the show is on now, I still care about the characters and want to know what’s going to happen. I’m hoping they’ll start really focusing in on the threads they have going now and tie them together into some fucking crazy last half of a season. There’s still like 10 episodes left in the season so there is plenty of time for things to come together.
