Excellent recap. I especially enjoyed the Patrick Bateman shout-out. I think of him every time I hand out a business card.

This season has been really random, but at least my Dinklage crush is being fed. If they can arrange for the Alanis Morrisette to die a horrible death, it will all be worthwhile.

While I know it was unintentional, I found the phrase "clothes tongue kisses" to be very amusing, I'm not sure why.

great recap! I missed the show because of Halloween but I will have to catch the re-run.

WTF about the medical waste? That was freaking SICK! You know how many years of lipo fat would have to make that much? GROSS. Unless that's just all the fat they sucked out of Liz. haha

Great recap Umnata. I agree with you about Marlow loving Julia. Come on, after a short (pun intended) period of time? I have a question: Do you think Larry Hagman's eyebrows will get their own spin-off show? Oh yeah, Michelle to the paramedic "I don't know where his kidney went" Puhlease.

OMG Unmata I LOVED the title. Let's hope Marlow doesn't get knocked in the noggin by a trebuchet.

I didnt think midgets cold have sex. I thought they jsut spontaneously appeared underneath a magic mushroom.

Marlow is obviously crazy, just like every other person who comes into these characters' lives. He fell for Julia as quickly and inexplicably as Brooke Shields did for Christian - maybe Marlow and Brooke will get together by the end of the season. Marlow's height did give him one great advantage, with Julia sitting and him standing his face was exactly at boobie height!

Liz and Alanis being so in love after just two weeks is a bit easier to explain - don't you know what lesbians bring to a second date? A U-Haul!

I think its highly ironic that both Sean and Julia fall for the babysitters of the crustacean we have all come to love.

There has been no consistency these past 2 seasons. None. And I HATE JULIA. What a whore. Worst parents ever.

I'm so mad at this show that I have nothing else to say!

Brigasm, it's not irony that made Julia and Sean sleep with the babysitters, it's the writer's laziness and lack of imagination. Sean's sleeping with the psycho babysitter made no sense. And while I can see how Julia would be attracted to Marlow (first man she's come across in a looooong time who had some sense), I don't get his attraction to her. Julia's a mess, and in real life, Marlow would take the paycheck and run away as fast as he could. But since this is Nip/Tuck where the writers have long since run out of ideas, we get the unlikely coupling of Marlow and Julia. Whatever.

I didn't understand the subplot with Lez and her new girlfriend either. If the Poppy was so repulsed by Lez's body, why was she dating her? And why would she spring the revelations on Lez's doctors who she knew were also Lez's friends in the operating room. I didn't get it, but figured Roma Maffia has it in her contract that she has to appear in so many episodes per season, no matter how ridiculous her character acts.

And speaking of ridiculous, Michelle's stealing J.R.'s kidney was the icing on the cake for this episode. Why not just go to another bar and slip someone a roofie and steal that poor sucker's kidney? I swear if they turn J.R.'s death into some sort of twist on the Anna Nicole and her deal Texas billionaire husband saga, I will stop watching this show for sure.

"I think its highly ironic that both Sean and Julia fall for the babysitters of the crustacean we have all come to love."

Well, it's really only ironic in the Morrisettean sense. But she'a a guest star, so what the hell. What it actually is is repetitive. Is there anyone who has set foot in Julia and Sean's house that hasn't wound up having sex with a family member?

This whole episode drove me crazy. How dumb is Christian to actually consider another hooker from James after she drugged him? James seems smart enough that she wouldn't just drug somebody for no reason, so it's a little annoying that he didn't stop think why she drugged him. It's not like she was in any danger.

Why the fuck would you go to the woman that you're in love with's HUSBAND to perform surgery? I find it a little hard to believe that he couldn't find another plastic surgeon in Miami.I gotta agree with Bauer's Sweetheart, Marlow's gonna turn out to be another crazy.

well, even though this ep did drive me a little crazy (100 gallons of Medical waste? Christian getting Roofi'ed? Midget Sex?) total trash is my guilty pleasure after all.

Marlow is definatley going to go coo-koo for Julia. It would have been funny though, to see 2 psycho babysitters go after the McNamara's. Why did they have to kill off the other girl?
What the hell does Marlow see in Julia anyway? Her family is so eff'ed up...wouldn't he conclude that she must have something to do with it?
Must be her 24/7/365 "I've got Hayfever, or have been crying my eyes out" watery eyes or something.

Umnata,

I LOVE YOU! These are freaking hysterical!!!
