Nip/Tuck 9.12.06

It's never been more apparent, than in last night's episode, that Sean and Christian have savior complexes. They want to save people from themselves, and in a way, fix themselves along the way. It was great to see Kimber, looking fabulous as always. I can't wait until she gets her claws into Mike...um...I mean Matt (doesn't John Hensley bear a strikingly eerie resemblance to Michael Jackson?) But I was a bit turned off by Kimber going all Tom Cruise on Matt. I was having flashbacks to his infamous Today Show interview with Matt Lauer. I think Sean totally overreacted to Annie's attempt to recreate her unborn brother's disability. So, Sean meets a man in the coffee shop with a facial deformity and offers to fix him for free - if only Sean could fix his soon-to-be born son. Then, as Christian struggles with his sexuality, he tries to "convert" another confused soul away from the brink of homosexuality by taking him to a strip club, along the way trying to validate his own heterosexuality. Are these mere coincidences? I think not - it's way too obvious IMO but Nip/Tuck has never been known for it's subtley. For the first time in four seasons, Julie is actually acting like a real mother - it suits her. I only have one word to describe Sanaa Lathan's character...delicious. I love how she's standing up to Sean and Christian...but does everyone on this show have to be gay, bisexual or having some sort of sexual identity crisis? One thing about Nip/Tuck, it always keeps you guessing. Next week's episode looks like it's going to be a real doo-sey. Stay tuned....
