Love's Last Glimpse Awards and Nip/Tuck Premiere

[thedeadlyhook]

I always have a hard time figuring out what to say to this sort of thing. Other than, you know, a huge THANK YOU to all you wonderful people out there. And congratuations to the many other winners on my flist!




Master and Slave picked up a couple of awards at Love's Last Glimpse, including "Best PWP" (!!). Which totally shocked me, not just because the last month's been so hectic, I'd totally forgotten I was even in the running at all, but because my reaction to the runner-up story, stultiloquentia's Stick Shift (redux) is to bow down and salaam "I'm Not Worthy!" So if you haven't read Stulti's story yet, please do. It's smokin' hot.

Some first reactions to the Nip/Tuck premiere:

Sean and Christian are Gonna Do It This Year, I'll Betcha: I don't think we were more than five minutes into the episode before I piped up with, "God, Sean and Christian are such a couple." Not that the show hadn't worked that angle before - with Christian's wedding last season, we got all these scenes of them picking the food and wine together until the Wedding Planner was sure that they were the soon-to-be-happy-newlyweds. Tongue in cheek. Sweet. But... serious? Not exactly.

This season, though? Oh, I think they're going there. I would be very surprised if Nip/Tuck wasn't the show to go there, considering everything else they've gotten away with on teevee. Of which, I think we've gotten the most close-up views of Julian McMahon's tushie of any shown on basic cable.

Is Christian Losing His Hair?: His normal neatly brushed 'do was pulling some strange, Pee-Wee Herman formations in a few scenes - are we going to get a storyline about male pattern baldness? I'd be surprised if not, given the way the show deals with age. Love it.

The Family That Lays Together...: I kept thinking I'd seen this done before somewhere, the mother-and-daughter-seeing-one-guy and finally remembered where - it was in Tales of the City. Less sympathetic here, but making a good point about Christian in that way that Nip/Tuck does. He's got intimacy issues, no kidding.

Where's Matt?: We didn't see Sean and Julia's son Matt at all. Which, considering where Season 3 left off, surprised me. I'm starting to wonder what kind of incarnation we should be ready to expect this time.

The Business Buyout: Okay, I saw this plot done on House, and didn't like it much, so here's to hoping there's something better in mind here. But Larry Hagman was terrific.

Kathleen Turner: ... can whisper in my ear anytime. Oh, baby. If I could get that voice by smoking, I'd think about it.

I disconnected cable because I was insulted by a Comcast customer "service" tech. Maybe I'll rethink it now. Nip Tuck was on hiatus at the time, after all, and I wasn't thinking straight.

And re: Kathleen Turner's voice: With the change of weather, I find (or think) my sinuses are making me sound all deep-throaty. My hope: To excite myself, at least. Or get voiceovers to sell salad dressing.

My sinsuses have been hellish this season too, but I'm not lucky enough to get a voice like that out of it! I wish.

The cable guy insulted you? Ugh. That still sounds like a good reason to cancel cable to me. No reason to put up with that sort of thing. Thank heaven for torrents and Netflix.
