I could see that being the case, and for some reason, I really really hope it isn't. I think a lot of us are just bound to be disappointed in some way no matter who it ends up being. That's unfortunately what happens when there is a huge build up to something.

I dont even remember who that is.

I would also not like that. There would need to be some explination for me to even buy it. You are right though, there is very few people who I would NOT be disappointed if it was: Sean, Matt, Quentin, Bobolit even Julia. The rest, even Kit or Gina, would disappoint me.

I'm starting to think that this show is going to "jump the shark" tomorrow night. The viewership is now so worked up about the identity of the Carver that it's pretty much become the focus for fans of the show.

How many threads have we seen this season where posters only comment was "No Carver this episode? BAH!" Discussion of the non-carver themes is virtually non-existant.

Well, whoever it is, somebody's guessed it. And you know that Wednesday morning there'll be smugly saying "I told you so" all over the internet...even though they were taking a wild stab in the dark just like the rest of us.

It has gotten a bit out of hand. I wonder what made them change the storyline from a couple of episodes into an entire story arc?
What if he/she takes the mask off and it is James Earl Jones? :)

Actually just the one Niomi Gaines episode. Also, if you remember, they showed the Carver's face in that episode (angular, muscular guy with dirty blond, long-ish hair). Clearly not the Carver now. Maybe they will Lucas that episode in syndication.

The poll is now Closed. The votes are in:

1. Other (20.5%)
2. Merril Bobolit (19.18%) -- the actual winner, since "Other" votes are divided
3. Quentin (17.81%)
4. Liz (13.70%) -- my comment on this: -ohbfrank-

"Also Rans":

5. Sean (8.22%)
6. Matt (6.85%)
7. Christian (4.11%)
8. Kimber (4.11%)
9. Ava (2.74%) -- thought this would be a lot higher, should certainly be higher than Liz!
10. More than One Person (2.74%)

We'll see who's right tonight!

From eonline:
Fom theresa: Who is the Carver?

Well, I guess you've waited this long. I may as well tell you. It's Jay-Z. That's another clue.

Hmm. Just googled Jay-Z's real (first) name, and it's someone on the show... other than that can't think how Jay-Z could be a clue.

As I stated in the other thread

The first web site I hit spelled his last name wrong (figures) so I didn't notice how blatant that clue is.

Re: Jay-Z

Well, as I said earlier, Kristin is one step above brine shrimp when it comes to her "knowledge" of spoilers. She didn't know shit and hopefully more people start calling her on it in the future.

From TV Guide...




Question: I'm sure you're inundated with comments as to the revelation of the Carver's identity on the season finale of Nip/Tuck. Is the response generally negative? 'Cause I am totally let down, and utterly disappointed in the creative team. A story line that had been carefully constructed and nurtured over the course of 1.5 seasons devolved into bad camp — in a single episode. I hate naysaying, but this denouement felt tacked-on, forced and full of holes. All of Kit and Quentin's exposition: sloppy. This is the only show on television that continually surprises me (Lost and Veronica Mars included) — see the brilliant plane-crash episode. To have ended the season on this note... I feel that they've lowered the bar for themselves. — Chris

Matt Roush: And on that note: Happy New Year, everyone! Catching up on mail from over the holiday, I'll give Nip/Tuck credit for giving us one last big, juicy gripe to dish over from 2005 before we start tackling the avalanche of new programming coming our way almost immediately in January. Lots and lots of mail on the Nip/Tuck finale, and it was uniformly negative. For my own disgruntled perspective, check out my longer Dispatch, but Chris' letter pretty much echoes my thoughts. Most of the mail focused on the letdown of Quentin being revealed as the Carver, since he was the most obvious choice. As Joseph wrote: "Could it be that the show has left our jaws on the floor so often that when it fails to do so, we are let down? Or can Nip/Tuck simply not push the envelope any further?" Well, I'd argue that the plot twist ending the finale's first hour, revealing Quentin's lack of a sex organ, was pretty envelope-pushing. I actually didn't even mind Quentin being the Carver, improbabilities and inconsistencies aside, especially when it was clear it was a tag team with his sister Kit (a somewhat unexpected twist, with lots of grisly Gothic backstory). What bothered me most about the Nip/Tuck finale was the way it was presented, like out of some Z-grade horror-movie serial, with the heroes all tied up and tortured, including Matt in the truly useless Aryan-bigot-kidnaps-trannie subplot. As Mike noted in another e-mail: "The actual finale was like an episode of Melrose Place." And he did not mean that as a compliment.

Are you saying you know the identity of the Carver only a month after the show aired? Please, do share.

I dont get the joke.

By the way, I hear Quentin may be back next season.

It's the Carver, revealed!

I didn't say it was funny. :blush:

What date is it in your world?

Hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Red Sox win the WS at some point?

I predict we're gonna invade Iraq.

We've landed on the moon?! That's great!

I heard a rumor that some of the southern states may secede from the union if that Lincoln guy is elected president.
