Big Letdown

After a suspenseful season, I must say I am a bit disappointed with last night's season finale of Nip/Tuck (here is a detailed summary). If you have it recorded and have not seen the episode yet stop here.


The first hour was great, much drama and action you'd come to expect from the show. Topper was finding out Quentin was missing his big chorizo. Hard to guess after all the latin heat he was giving off. So right off the bat that should disqualify him from being the Carver, right? But I remember one thing a buddy of mine said when we hypothesized that Julia might be the Carver: (s)he was using a strap on. With that, I convinced myself that Quentin had to be the carver. Who else would have known the exact surgeries Kimber had and the know-how to reverse them? Had to be a plastic surgeon with a personal tie to both of them. Also, when Sean and Christian were repairing the sorority girls and Sean stated that, "these wounds look like they were made by and amateur..." I sort of figured out that the Carver wasn't acting alone. With Quentin himself being "carved up" and tied to his bed someone else had to do it.

But who? I'll tell you who - London special detective Kit. Why would you need to bring in a specialist from London to solve the Carver case when you have David Caruso and the CSI:Miami team in your backyard? That sealed the deal, for me, that Kit had to be his accomplice. But to find out that Quentin and she were brother and sister was a kick in the head.

Now, you might be saying to yourself "Sure it's easy for you to say you guessed it all before the end of the show...now that you've seen it." But honest to goodness, that is what made the whole episode so disappointing. The whole plot was that transparent. My hopes for next season have one foot in the crapper.

T-minus one day

Yes. One more day until the Carver is unmasked. Although it is my favorite hobby, I do not have much time these days to devote to watching TV. So I have resigned to make three shows my top priority: the NFL, Family Guy and Nip/Tuck (sheer coincidence that all three happen to be on the Fox network), of which the season finale airs tomorrow. In my opinion, Nip/Tuck is one of the best shows ever written; it is hilarious (did you see the episode a couple weeks ago where Christian bangs the crap out of the chick with the paper bag on her head? Genius!)

My thoughts on who the Carver is? Well, it's definitely not Quentin because that would be too easy and the show is too damn well written for it to be him. It would be a tremendous let down and I'd probably stop watching the show. My money is on either Sean or Matt. They both have some anger management issues and this alter ego may be the manisfestation of it. Matt because he just seems to be on a turn toward the dark side. Sean because he seems to be conveniently nearby whenever the Carver strikes. Also, I think there may also be a far off chance that it could be Julia be the Carver since she has some demons of her own. So we will see what unfolds tomorrow night.

Freedom

Yesterday was my last day at the client from hell. Let's call them LB, because that's their name. Being that it was one of the bigger investment banks, the culture was unusually hard to swallow. I previously worked for another investment bank (BS, 'cause that's their name) so that is why management thought I would be an ideal candidate. All the trials and tribulations that I suffered in six years at BS could not compare to the ordeal I went through for seven LONG months at LB. Goodbye and good riddance. I hope their whole infrastructure goes straight to the shitter.

So, needless to say I am in a much better mood now. And I actually got a good night's sleep in, oh, about seven months. Never again.
