thedeadlyhookTonight's Nip/Tuck episode:
Richard Chamberlain! Okay, given the actor's oh-so-tardy coming-out, his appearance here as queenish sugar-daddy was interesting. I so used to swoon over that guy back in his Shogun days and The Three Musketeers, and no wonder. He's a pretty, pretty man. And did anybody besides me recognize RJ, he of the magic letterman's jacket from BtVS, S7, "Him," as the rent boy Christian wants to reform? Also: amazing tush. My.
Boy, practically no one came off looking good this week, did they? Sean's control issues are freaky as ever (I half-expected to hear him say he wanted to operate on the baby in-utero), Christian's gay panic hitting redzone levels (not that it's unprecendented; aside from the like-father-like-son parallels with Matt, Christian has his own rent-boy history to contend with, and he didn't exactly respond, shall we say, well to come-ons from Quentin last season), and Julia's overreacting at what seemed - to me, anyway - to her daughter's perfectly understandable attempts to cope with her upcoming little brother's condition. Scientology came off as the most rational of available options, which is something you don't see too often.
The mutual lap dances with eye contact across the room? Shades of Quentin last year. Yes, call it foreshadowing.
Christian actually threatening Kimber. That was DISTURBING. On the plus end, I have even more respect for Kimber.
Okay, now we know what happened with Matt and Charity and the loathsome white supremicist dad last season. Prison. An improvement over the unmarked grave I expected, given that this is the show that started with people being fed to gators. Ai yi yi.
Connor McNamara? What IS it with that name???
Blu Mondae with a breast reduction becomes Ashlee Wednesday. Nice.
And wow, next week looks even more lurid. Amazing.
I am never not surprised by this show. That's saying something.
