After last week's Emmy-worthy episode, I'm really looking forward to this one. Nip/Tuck is one of the best TV shows on, IMO. FX is giving HBO a good run for it's money, as far as high-quality original programming goes.

Spoiler:
What happens 43 minutes in should be considered soft-core porn.
... or a rip-off of what we thought we saw in Denis Leary's sex scene last week on Rescue Me.
I hope they both get a disease!

Wow. Simply wow. One of the best episodes of this phenomenal show. Seriously I'm reeling. This show is back in a BIG way.
Watch it as soon as you can. This might be the best episode of them all.

But I went the extra mile and re-read the 'stuck' thread about using spoilers and I guess you're right about promos. So I'll concede. I am now one of the learned few. It won't happen again.
I even went back to last weeks and added spoiler tags there...

Yah, you had to love the way the writers parallelled Sean and Christian's impending separation with their "last" case together, and how truly symbiotic they had become in the past 17+ years.
Now, that "menege a whoa" definitely pushed the limits of cable TV...

The conversation on the airplane was shot in a way that made you feel that you were actually there listening in...wonderful.

Damn fine episode. The symbolism between Sean and Christian's possible breakup and the surgery performed was quite clever. I also liked the cafeteria scene, with the two of them having mental flashbacks to their youth.

My reaction as well. What a powerful episode.
Probably the most sexually explicit scene I've seen on American television outside of the pay cable networks.
Also, the makeup/special effects on the conjoined twins was simply amazing.

Those of us with ReplayTV or Tivo don't see commercials or promos very often.
Great episode. This is one of the few shows that delivers on every single episode.

I could have done without the two students who were supposed to be younger versions of Sean and Julian... way too trite.
I thought it was pretty creepy the way the hooker kept turning into Julia - what was that supposed to mean?

Yeah, the symbolism for this episode definitely made it's point by beating us with it. There were just a few too many for my liking, but it was still a great episode. Now there are going to be some really screwed up relationships among all the main characters. I wonder if they told the daughter what was going on, or is she just an innocent bystander left by the wayside.
