This episode was hilarious

"We had this connection"

"Yeah, it's called DNA"

Christian banging her mom

Everything else (Julia's amnesia, the car accident, Sean getting stabbed) you could see coming from a mile away

Highly predictable, yet highly awesome.

That was quickest season yet of N/T, can't believe that was episode 14 already.

Predictable, especially given the camera angle behind Shawn at the end. But entertaining nonetheless. I'm suprised they didn't address what happened between Eden & Portia during their conversation.

I shot Julia, help me. Or devise a plan where Julia pretends to have amnesia.

Agreed, a very fun season that really gave the show the kick in the ass it needed... it was nice to look forward to seeing Nip/Tuck again instead of just watching it out of habit... predictable moments but a hellova finale IMO.

This show has gotten so ridiculous, but I can’t help but still love it. Normally, a character suffering from amnesia or getting stabbed would evoke sympathy, but I was actually laughing out loud at these over-the-top moments.

What’s even more funny is Christian can’t even keep track of the children he’s fathered. Didn’t he confirm via DNA testing he was the father of Kimber’s baby?

I can't wait until the season premiere when Sean lashes out at everyone because the massive loss of blood and damage to his lungs force doctors to replace some of his body parts with bionic implants. Then we immediately flash forward ten years, where Christian professes his love for Annie, but then she confesses her love for Liz following in the lesbian footsteps of her mother.

Meanwhile, Matt, in spite of being a former meth-addict-porn-star-burn-victim, gets romantically involved with a pop star from the eighties suffering from vitiligo who pays for his medical education since he “physically identifies” with Matt and believes only he can repair the damage caused by years of unnecessary plastic surgery.

Great season finale.....

One question that never got answered for me was- The guy who pretended to be a doctor in the middle of the night and came in and gave people anal exams, the serial butt doctor or whatever else they called him, what ever happened to him....

I figured they would abadon the connor story line (really, who cared about the lobster kid really)... I did hear his name mentioned once or twice this season....

I am assuming with being cut 8 episodes down due to the writers strike (originally was going to be 22 episodes), they had to cut alot out to get a decent season finale, and I think they did a pretty good job...

I know i am left dying (get the pun, dying, like sean) to know what happened...

So who thinks they'll actually kill off Sean? I sure don't. They haven't killed off a main character yet, and I doubt they'd start with one of the most likable ones on the show.

I fear Liz's fate though.

What I can't figure out is that if Sean dies, does the show become "Nip" or "Tuck"?

Great final episode for the season, predictable as the ending was.

Best part for me: the guy with camera up his ass for trying to photograph Russell Crowe! That killed me.

I'm sure Julia does have amnesia, I doubt she would fake it to go along with any half-cocked story Eden and Portia came up with. I'm more upset she isn't dead, but I guess Eden has to get her comeuppance somehow.

Annie sucks as an actress, no wonder she's never on the show. And no one cares about Lobster Boy, so I'm glad he's out of the running.

The overhead shot of Christian banging no-legs was classic. She actually didn't look so bad for her age, you know, aside from the missing limbs.

Overall this was one of the best seasons for this show, by far. I really hope they can sustain this momentum for the next season. Wonder if they're going to shoot more episodes to fill it in or just air the final 8 as a mini-season?
