"Love will tear us apart"


thank god nip/tuck kicks ass again, their move to l.a. at the end of the fourth season, while a welcome change due to the kinda lame fourth season, seemed like it could have been a last ditch attempt to breath some life into the series. thankfully it was the complete opposite, the shows gotten a pretty substantial facelift. the onetime big shots are finding it difficult to adjust at the beginning of the episode, they even went as far to install a basketball net in their office to pass the time while they wait for a patient to drop into their office, its not until they realize theyre gonna have to make a name for themselves that the show really kicks into action. their attempt to go out to an l.a. nightclub and hit on prospective income stalls once they are informed theyre not in miami anymore by a publicist who hooks them up to appear in a primetime hit show hearts 'n scapels. the show really seems to be moving in a great direction, after christian installs some hairplugs that dont properly heal for their big nationwide appearance the shows producer orders the cameras to focus on sean. as a result christians "big" speech is cut out completely and hes relegated to a quick shot of his hand on seans left shoulder. that asshole "sack" from wedding crashers plays the hot shot actor in the show and hes an instantly likeable character, as well as the dude form scary movie 4 playing a hollywood big wig who is addicted to a dominatrix to put his life in perspective. as he tells sean and christian later in the show to get out of the city before it devours them, the show gives us one of its best moments in its history: both of them looking down, christian with a determined look that tells us hes not turning back, sean with a giddy apprehension due to his newfound fame. jealousy ensues, but we all know these two will work out their friendship, no matter how many hot models they have to fuck throughout the season to come to terms with themselves.
