Nipped and tucked.

"Watching 'Nip/Tuck' after all this time is like doing a line of coke after rehab. You feel bad that you're doing it again but it just feel so good."- Text from Me to Alanna last night.

And so it was true. After taking a hiatus from the show and then the show taking a hiatus from television, Shawn, Christian and I had a joyous, if not a tad disappointing, reunion. Of course, this disappointment was forgotten during the last fifteen minutes with a completely unnecessary double sex scene.

Missing were Julia and Kimber... where did they go? I've tried keeping up with synopses on "Television Without Pity" lately. It was a mistake to stop watching the show after they left Miami and I admit that. Christian and I are getting through it together. It was nice that they recapped the murder attempt by Shawn's sadly pathetic manager Colleen. Lots of blood, yum. What I gather from what I've read so far is this: somehow Christian killed his ex Gina and made it look like suicide so now he has her son Wilbur who he thought was his until Wilbur's birth revealed he was, um, not and somehow Matt slept with his half sister, but only after knocking up Kimber and becoming addicted to Meth. Well now he wants to be a doctor. Rrrright. Because the best doctors are always the former meth-heads. Christian has breast cancer and him and Liz are now friends... which I find odd but comforting.

Other than the beginning (gratuitous violence) and the end (gratuitous wheelchair sex), the middle was a little lacking. Kind of like a sandwich on really good bread with only a slice of cheese in between. However, I was reminded by EW online that this was NOT a season premiere but a season continuation so we're still dealing with last year's BS. So I will give it time.

I did miss it though, a lot. Apparently "over the top" is back in style nowadays, though. So I don't feel bad about it.
