Is Nip/Tuck always like that? (spoilers)

I’ve not watched it before this season, except for catching a few eps as part of a marathon leading up to this season that I flipped back and forth to. Do they often build entire episodes around lame-ass urban legends? Doggy peanut butter and kidney thief in the same episode seems kinda like overkill. Is the show supposed to be a serious drama at all or is it best classified as soap opera?

Jumped, the shark, it has. Good seasons, two, at most , now past.

More ominously, the show has crossed the Melrose Place Threshhold, the point at which all of the interesting/legal sex pairings between and among cast members has occurred.

It is now, like the late period Marilyn Manson, reflexively playing all the old angles in order to shick a thoroughly jaded, indifferent and acclimated audience.

in short, yes. It’s probably the most ridiculous shows I’ve ever seen. That’s what usually makes it fun, but using the kidney legend was the most cringe-worthy moment in the history of the show for me.

Not quite, and I will continue to hold out hope for the very last one remaining. :smiley:

This season is by far the worst. Definitely watch the previous ones instead - I liked season 2 the best.

Marginally saved by the dream sequence with Escobar, but sadly, I was disappointed withe the UL stuff. The outrageousness in seasons past was in line with the characters, but now they’re such puppets of the silly plots that I don’t believe their motivations anymore. Is Christian going to fall for a Nigerian Scam next wee? C’mon.

Liz took getting her kidney getting stolen with such, um, aplomb that I could hardly believe it.

We all are!

The Nibbled Nipple was more cringe-worthy for me, but mostly because Half-Pint’s nib was nibbled. It vaguely reminded me of the kid from The Toy who became a porn star. (shudder!)

My peeve (which is so last season) is how they managed to get **almost everyone ** carved by the Carver but have such skill that no one has a scar showing, even soon after the attacks.

What’s the last sex act? Christian and Sean one-on one? or has that happened already?

That has not happened, and that is exactly the one I was thinking of.

A question about the Dog Lady… I don’t recall them saying much else other than PB was involved. Did she get drunk and pass out or did she willingly let the dog eat her tit?

She didn’t willingly let the dog eat her tit; but she willingly put peanut butter on her pussy and let the dog lick it off. That was the big “gotcha ya” of that scene - revealing to the audience that her affection for her dog was… more than normal.

(It’s also a very common Urban Legend - friends hide in basement for supririse party, where they know woman will go b/c that’s where she lets the dog out, woman calls to dog and turns on light, friends yell “surprise!” and woman is naked with peanut butter on her pussy).
