I don't know what the future will hold for Julian McMhan but i'd like to think Dylan Walsh could become an even more respected character actor. (or maybe deep in late night)Īlso i thought as a series-the performances of the 2 men were rock solid-even when the writing was a bit rocky-i never not believed the emotions the 2 actors were selling as their characters. A Parting of the ways (after so many seasons of threatening to leave one another) but not acrimoniously-meaning that you know the 2 guys will still be friends with one another-after how deeply embedded they were in each others lives it only makes sense-and its nice to see that they ended the series without either one of them hating the other as had been hinted strongly this season-and all series long in a way too.Īs for syndication purposes-I'd expect this show to sell to the Soap opera channel (soapnet?) it would prob do all right there in an overnight slot. Its funny in that to me it kinda felt more like a season finale than a series finale-but you know that works just as well-apart from having one of them die (which I did not wanna see) i think this was as good an ending as we could've gotten for the 2 guys. Sean left to finally do something positive with his life and Christian.well Christian finally let him. I thought it was a pretty good finale actually. I have noticed that even some fans of Glee have worried that the show is burning through way too much plot in its first season, and given how rococo Nip/Tuck got after a while, one has to admit that's a major concern. I'm amazed no one died at the end, since it sure seemed they were leading up to that. Everything got so deadly serious all of a sudden. season, which many fans saw as the beginning of the end, you had Bradley Cooper's awesome comic performance, Annalynne McCord as a surprisingly effective villain, and the outright lunacy of Sharon Gless.īut I had no idea what they were up to this season. I thought Nip/Tuck was a good guilty plasure for most of its run, kind of the way True Blood is for me now. Would he be willing to finally take the trouble to learn an American accent? McMahon's Yank accent was never very good, and by the last season it sounded like he stopped trying completely. How about Julian McMahon as Rockford? Sorry, I am just still stunned that anyone hired Dermot Mulroney for anything. In the end, it was a pig and will not be missed. It was like STARGATE SG-1, but with breasts. They just wasted so much, to the point of damaging their stars' future careers. It was a narrative bored with itself, and I'm sorry but FX are fools if they think they'll make bank on a syndication sale - they'd have to cut episodes in half to have them air on basic cable outside late night. Grubman - she was human, even when the leads weren't. So, Christian, now, deciding to be merciful? Really? Just because he drove the love of his life to suicide because he knew he couldn't fake loving her? And even more recovery room deaths, in between? I miss Mrs. Sean left Christian before (the Miami-LA move), only to have Christian leach on to him again. How bad is that?īut Sean's arc was horrifying, because his character always tried to change, and Christian turned all Snidely Whiplash, to keep him by his side. They made autoerotic asphyxiation boring. He was almost tragic, but then they go to the soft porn, without exploring exactly what changes with the more boredom he encounters, during it. The crime of not letting Christian go deeper into revulsion, or salvation, should not be forgotten. N/P jumped the shark with the Carver, and it had ample chances to get back on track. If they'd dealt with their core family - Wilbur, Matt, Jenna, Annie, Conor - they would have had some powerful stories about their distorted values affected them, but no, it's time for prison rape and serial killers again. The finale wasn't as bad as all the crap accumulated during the last seasons - repetition, destruction of characters so they stay in place. Matt's character, especially, has been trashed - is a felon going to get a license as a plastic surgeon? Hell, no. Which is why I've been leery of the Abrams-based flash-forwards and alternate timelines - it's sloppy storytelling, because showrunners can't control casts and events enough to shape their narrative toward that future.
