About last night...
So, I missed Dancing with the Stars. My bad! But I promise to watch the results show tonight for the recap.
I did watch Nip/Tuck, though. The tenuous relationship between Christian and Sean is slowly unraveling. I wasn't sure if Christian's unwillingness to stand by his partner and best friend was because (a) nagging feelings of doubt about his sexual identity, or (b) discomfort with the pending birth of a disabled child, or (c) pure selfishness. Either way, I sense that Sean has had enough and realizes that he will have to find a way to stand on his own, without Christian. I knew that the heavy flirtation between Sean and nanny-candidate Monica in the car would lead to him cheating on Julia. It wasn't surprising - I know a couple who had a similar experience. The wife was having a very difficult pregnancy and on bed rest, while the husband was left out in the cold to fend for himself and ultimately had an affair. Not to say that it's right, but it was a normal reaction under the circumstances. I really dislike how both Sean and Christian use free plastic surgery as either a reward or pay-off - what message are we sending where major surgery is treated so casually and without consequence?
I'm growing a bit weary of the sexual ambiguity surrounding Christian. The pseudo-porn shower scene with Mario Lopez served what purpose, really, other than to showcase two bare behinds. If Christian is going to be gay, then let him be gay. This back and forth is annoying. The previews for next week's episode show him swinging back to the hetero side, as he tries to woo Michelle. I don't think he genuinely wants to be with her, rather Christian always wants what he can't have. I could see Michelle's firing of Liz coming from 10 miles away. I'm curious to learn more about Michelle, her back story, and where this mystery woman hits in.
Baby Conner was born with ectrodactyly and Julia wants to hire the "height-challenged" male nurse, who seems to have a crush on her. Nip/Tuck never fails to disappoint with intriguing storylines and shocking scenarios. Stay tuned...
