Nip/Tuck: Season 5, Part 1

what A LOT of people dont seem to realize...
what A LOT of people dont seem to realize is that there were supposed to be 22 episodes this season, making it the longest nip/tuck season yet. however, only 14 were aired. (most likely due to the wrighters strike we're all so familiar with) so for those that feel there was no closure, you're right, there wasnt any, because that was never supposed to be the close, they just aired the ones they had finished.

while i agree, the plots have gotten more and more shocking, and less about the surgery and the subtlties of the charecter relationships, i have to keep my fingers crossed that by the end of the season (the missing episodes rumored to be airing early this fall, possibly late summer) things will turn around a bit and get more involved, and less trashy.

never the less, i'm gonna buy it, i plan to support my favorite show, leave my input, and hope it gets back to some taste.

love the show, love ya all, feel free to contact me

Hollywood Babylon
The fifth season of Nip/Tuck finds Sean (Dylan Walsh) and Christian (Julian McMahon) setting up their practice in the most synthetic town on the planet: Hollywood. It takes a while for things to take off, which they do when Sean and Christian end up stumbling into playing parts on a TV medical drama, and contending with its egotistic star (Midnight Meat Train's Bradley Cooper) while Sean romances its female lead (Paula Marshall). There's some inventive twists that are abound, including the downward spiral that Matt (John Hensley) and Kimber (Kelly Carlson) are on, and Julia's (Joely Richardson) surprising new realationship. There's pivotal guest star roles from Portia de Rossi, John Schneider, and sexy AnnaLynne McCord, and Nip/Tuck still manages to be entertaining five seasons in, even though this season just simply isn't as good as previous seasons of the series. Still, there's a cliffhanger ending that will have you salivating for more to come, and here's hoping that Nip/Tuck...

Another Attempt to Cheat the Consumer out of Money
I was excited and all set to purchase this dvd as I own the other seasons until I realized that it is not the complete season. Why would anyone in their right mind pay this astronomical amount (the same I paid for the entire season sets I got when they were released), only to have to pony up more money when the remaining episodes are released. While I love Nip/Tuck, I will not spend my hard earned money on a set that is not a complete season release. I refused to do so when 30 Rock did this, and I will not do so now. I say wait until the complete season is released and consider making the purchase at that time.
