It’s missed you as much as you’ve missed it./r/NipTuck is reviving the re-watch from the beginning. This week’s season premiere begins as all episodic dramas must: with RECAP TIME! All Carver (the serial mutilator) related material culminating in, of course, his attack on Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) at the conclusion of last season. No signs of marital troubles, partner troubles, or transsexual life coaches to be found.įrom there, we are dropped right into the action. Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) arrives at Christian’s apartment to ID the body as police mill about, gathering evidence. Christian is buried in a service that features a parade of ladies including Sean’s estranged wife Julia (Joely Richardson), Kimber Henry (Kelly Carlson), and Liz Cruz (Roma Maffia) all telling us how, ultimately, they loved him. Sean comes to the podium next and speaks rather poetically about wanting a brother as a kid and finding one at 18 when he met Christian. We also get a glimpse of the McNamara’s creepy, creepy son Matt (John Hensley) who looks less like Michael Jackson this season than previously, yet more reptilian. Not sure how he pulls that off, but good for him.Īt this point, you might be thinking, “Wow, they really did it. I guess his contract is just extended for flashbacks and such.” But no…you’d be wrong. Bad, Nip/Tuck, bad! Christian has been having it ever since the attack and the worst part is that even when all is said and done, they can’t completely lower the coffin in the ground. This will be the first of many sledgehammer-esque “symbolic” events to get us to understand that the characters are trapped in ruts, whether they be of fear, career, matrimony, or obesity. More on that later.Ĭhristian and Sean briefly discuss the attack. Christian reveals that the cut on his neck is not the only way the Carver (who for the sake of ease, I’m assigning a masculine pronoun to from here on out until we find out otherwise) brutalized Christian: he also raped Christian while the surgeon was still paralyzed. McMahon’s reading of the line deserves praise as he spits it out without melodrama and in such a way that makes it seem like he literally needs to say it and walk away from it like somehow the statement could attach itself to him. Sadly, he loses points shortly afterwards when he heads home for the first time after the attack (the police tape is still up) and strips the bed of the bloody sheets.
