I do a lot of complaining about the current season of Nip/Tuck... and yet, I continue to watch. I always seem to think (while I'm watching) that it is getting better... but then when I attempt to recap the show, I can't help but realize it just doesn't have the spark it used to have.
While I like the shake up with Christian and Julia, it is something that I think should have happened at least a few seasons ago. Now it is a little too incestuous and predictable.
But at the same time, the Liz/Olivia/Julia/Sean/Christian/Eden sextangle (no pun intended) is a bit much to handle as well. Sean is supposed to be the sympathetic character in this whole scenario, at least in my eyes. So how exactly is he able to remain sympathetic when he dumps his (formerly overweight) girlfriend to sleep with an 18 year old whose mother is dating his ex-wife. You don't follow? Me neither.
The one saving grace for this season is the Matt/Kimber storyline. Though is it too much to ask that Matt wouldn't have actually survived the meth lab explosion? I wouldn't miss him.
And while we're on the topic of missing people... doesn't anyone find it strange that Sean and Julia have yet to mention their infant son? I'm not sure how much time is supposed to have passed since last season, but the kid can't be even two... so one wouldn't be rash to assume that he'd maybe have moved to LA with his parents when both of them relocated. After the amount of time devoted to his disability, it's a little tough to just write the kid off. And (as has been the case in previous years), Annie appears to have fallen off of the face of the planet as well...
