Lovin It/Hatin It: The Nip/Tuck Season Finale

Nip/TuckLet me start off by saying that plausibility has never been ‘s strong suit.  If it was, the series wouldn’t be so deliciously bad.  But after watching last night’s episode, I seriously had to say: “C’mon!”

I really loved the show’s move to Los Angeles and talked about the reinvigorated program a few months ago.  Unfortunately, Tuesday’s closer was way too over the top for me….and now I’m afraid I have to admit I hated it.

Sean McNamara and Christian Troy have taken us through a lot of strange storylines, so when things got ugly with pseudo-agent Colleen Rose this season, I grimaced but went along with it.  (As disgusting as the murder of the real agent was, I had to admit that ‘stuffing’ him was at least creative.)  Really, things weren’t that much different this year than when The Carver was still around.

But seriously….how could one family have so many problems?  And at the same time?

Let’s see, in one episode: Christian found out that he has a daughter (then sleeps with the amputee mother of his child), Matt’s half-sister begs him to sleep with her again, Julia wakes up from her coma and supposedly loses her memory (I say ‘supposedly’ only because I’m certain had something to do with it), Sean’s daughter is involved in a car accident (but surprisingly does okay) and Sean is then stabbed by his stalker.  (Wasn’t their last office in Miami also the locale of at least one other crime scene?)

Oh - and I forgot to mention that the stuffed agent’s body was found hiding in Sean’s closet.  Not only did Sean barely make a noise when he discovered it, the moment was followed up by Sean and Christian sitting calmly by while the police carted the corpse away.  Uh, I have a feeling the cops wouldn’t just let them sit by and eat.  Also—shouldn’t Sean have been seriously freaked out since Colleen recently bloodied up his home with her slit wrists??  I would think the last thing he’d want to do is just hang around that cursed pad.

Of course, I can’t just let this all go without wanting to know what happens to Sean.  So despite the ridiculous turns Nip/Tuck has made recently, I’ll be there with bells on next season…as always.
