"Conor McNamara, 2026"

god I feel like this show is rocketing downhill.

I can't seem to stop watching though

I know what you mean. This show is a great argument for british style limited series runs. It's been a fun ride, though. Does anyone know if there will be more seasons?

Sweet bastard, I hate these alternate reality episodes. This is terrible.

I enjoyed the episode very much. The characters are just so damn compelling.

I saw a clip on access Hollywood where Billy Bush and Nancy Odell got made over to look as aged as the other cast members of Nip/Tuck.

There are pics on their site: http://www.accesshollywood.com/

<spoiler>I hoped he was talking to the Carver all through the episode </spoiler>

I enjoyed this ep as well, I'll admit I was skeptical based on the premise.

The ending with Julia/Sean was a little confusing, I thought.

I liked it. I hope Julia comes back since the actresses daughter is sick in real life.
Loved the girl from the Brady Bunch movie as the grown up Annie. The older Conner was hunky too. Good actor.

It was good when compared to the other episodes this season. Future Annie and Christian were hilarious.

So...where does this leave us with the show? Was this the future that will play out?

DVD Josh

As expected, this was the worst episode in the entire series. Poorly written drivel, and a pointless filler episode. Horrible.

Next week looks much better, although I could do without another Christian tries to get married episode.

Michael T Hudson

I kept thinking that Six Feet Under did this so much better with the last episode of the series.

Even the make-up was bad. It looked like they used some "Ol' Geezer" kit from a leftover Halloween clearance sale.

Groucho

Mad About You did the same thing for their finale. In fact, the plotline was pretty much exactly the same as this episode.

Apparently, somebody forgot to tell the makeup people that Sean and Christian should look like they're in their sixties, not their eighties.

I think the guy playing Matt is closer in age to 2026 Matt than he is 2006 Matt.

So was the future stuff an alternate reality in Sean's head, or was it stuff that was actually going to happen?

BTW, I just totally busted a nut at the shot of Kimber in the preview laying on her side in her black underwear.

I know! This really threw me off! Christian was kind of funny. . . "JAnnie" was annoying.

Damfino

Good point, I thought I'd check up on that. John Hensley (Matt) was born in August, 1977, so he would be a 29 year old actor playing an 18 year old in 2006, and a 38 year old in 2026. However, Hensley was probably still 28 when the episode was filmed, so that makes it a perfect split!

Red Dog

60-year-old Christian was a riot.

The Jan Brady Annie was a nice touch as well.

Enjoyable episode.

RobCA

Agreed, on both counts. I knew he looked familiar, it was Stark Sands, from Die Mommie Die. Jennifer Elise Cox was hilarious, as always. Is it me, or did Christian 2026 bear an uncanny resemblance to Lyle Waggoner?

I really enjoyed this episode, even if it means Sean and Julia will never get back together. I wonder what they're gonna do if Joely comes back...

Rob

Red Dog

It was like a combination of Lyle Waggoner, John Larroquette, and Larry Hagman.

Connor travels back in time to save his family.

TyroneJordan

Sean and Julia's make up looked good. Christian's hair just looked so bad, especially with his BROWN eyebrows. The make up on him was just amazingly bad. It was a little gimmicky, the whole future thing. I mean in 20 years, we're all going to be eating out of ergonic plastic trays with exotically colored food containing essential multivitamins and minerals? Filler episode to the max.

Patman

Well, they built in 5 years of struggle between Sean and Julia before they finally move on from any shred of hope of getting back together, so it's possible to write Joely back in should her personal situation improve, but the episode felt like a true goodbye to Joely on the show.

The little bits of technology sprinkled into the episode was amusing: cell phone implant, laser scalpels, bloodless surgeries, pencil-thin cameras.

I'm a bit in the dark about Joely Fisher leaving the show. Any links to article(s) explaining?

Thanks,

Thos.
