twop Nip/Tuck pg 9 - 10 March 2004
too bad earlier posts are not available, re first season... but at least there are some comments here occasioned by FX running season 1 in repeats [before starting season 2 in June 2004... 22 June I guess ~ p40 "tonight"]
-Well, I rewatched the pilot. I'm amazed about how good the first episode really is. I was struck by how good the actress who plays Kimber is.
-I still can't get over the opening sex scene. It's still hot after all these months.
-I did notice Julia's reaction when her 1987 pregnant self came into view on the tape. She tore her eyes away, shook her head, had an expression that looked like a mixture of anguish, remorse, maybe guilt? I don't think it was her envying the milked-up, swollen nature of her boobs back then -- it could be she was actually remembering sleeping with Christian and knowing the baby could very well be his. Her reaction just spoke volumes and I caught that this time thanks to the finding out later in the season that Matt's paternity is questionable. See, this is one of the many reasons why I'm so eager for season 2 to begin.
-I forgot how good and intense this show is. Christian Troy is such an appealing character -- he's a magnificent, cold, conniving bastard yet brimming underneath the surface is a wounded hurting soul who, I don't know, just seems to understand.

20 This is great. I'm celebrating a birthday this weekend and N/T is coming back.
Botox shots all around!
