Nip/Tuck: Conor McNamara, 2026

This show has now jumped the shark by breaking its most important element: Sean and Julia's relationship. The dramatic threats tho these characters always eventually centered on not just personal threats against them by outside agents, but by the threat their own choices made to thier families. But that's gone now and with Ryan Murphy apparantly not being able to do anything with Matt either, the show is lost.

what the hell are these models names.. does anyone know? they did a horrible job.. i think the episode was intersting.. can't wait to see how their gonna connect the next one to this.. help me out guys with their names..

Did anyone else see the resemblance of the two women with Christian to the women in little black dresses who used to be by the side of Robert Palmer?

I thought this espisode was, well kinda dull. I understand it's her last espisode, but you'd think she would go out with something more then " you know I love you". I do not agree with the majority about the makeup being unrealistic, I thought they did a good job. And why wouldn't Matt turn out like his fathers? I am with those of you who thought there would be a big reveal of the threpist.. actually I was kinda upset that they never showed him. ( I have issues with voice talking w.out faces) anyway Overall this was a decent espisode but it lacked that Nip/Tuck flare.

Did anyone catch in the credits who played the therapist? I suppose it doesn't matter (I, too, was expecting Quentin, or at least a big reveal), but I'm curious.

The funny thing is, the reason I had issues with this episode its that is completely out of tone with the rest of the season. Maybe in the first season, or maybe the second, but really, it was just so almost believable.

I was bummed because there wasn't a big ridiculous reveal with the psychologist. I was expecting Eva with a sex re-reassignment. Or the Carver Dude. Or a cloned William Shatner. Or something silly and outrageous, which would be in line with the rest of the season.

And Annie, oh please. Her behavior stops being believable in early 20's, at the latest. For a 30 year old to behaving that way, just shoot her already.

Old Marlow was much less annoying. The fact that he made the distinction between being Connor being an adult and choosing the surgery and his surgery as an infant was something that should have been expressed better in earlier episodes.

But yeah, for the most part, I thought it was a decent episode, it just didn't fit.

wow, i knew a lot of people are gonna be pissed by this episode, but i didn't know it was that the respond will be this harsh. personally, i can see why people are upset that this look in the future idea doesn't move the present storyline, but i'm sure if joely richardson could stay, there wouldn't even be an episode like this.
i actually enjoyed it a lot. i like it when they do creative stuff like this, the julia's dream episode in season two was one of my favorites, and this one is pretty much in the same vein, but it's reality in the future. nip tuck isn't a show to take so seriously. it is constantly pushing new boundaries and explore new "oh my god did they just show that" moments.
i thought the future dinner scene was laff out loud funny. it's not something to take seriously. we have cellphone chip in the ear, polygamy, super viagra, and bloodless surgery in the future. very funny. i think it's a great send off for julia as well. sure it was too quick, but at least they make an effort on giving some closure to her character...and annie. when rumors said julia was going to be gone in a bang, i was so afraid they were gonna kill her off (not another car accident please.) but it's logical that she's gonna leave sean, the only reason they got back together really was because of Connor.
beside, there're so much going on in the present time that the show still have plenty of stories to go on.
some last tidbits: thank god they didnt reveal who the therapist was, i was so afraid it would be Quentin. and why did they make Jennifer Elise Cox (future annie) the same make-up they gave Brittany Snow last year? i honestly couldn't tell the different. also, it's probably a no-brainer, but i'm sure Matt and Kimber split already, but it would have been nice if we get to see old kimber.

what a pointless stupid episode that helped nothing. the makeup was terrible.

I always play "spot annie" in the episodes. When she shows up, I always have to take a minute to remember that she exists. When she said that it was like she couldn't even remember Sean and Julia from her childhood, I had to laugh. How could she!?

Let me preface my remarks with my opinion that this episode seemed like a waste of 60 minutes.
I typically look forward to Nip/Tuck every week, even as unbelievable as the storyline is. But this week was just a bad episode.
I also found it awkward that the show "switched styles" for this episode, almost interrupting the narrative of previous episodes only to have the previews for next week strat right back up at the narrative where it left off the previous week. It seemed like last night's episode was a rift in the space/time continuum. Way too different for my liking, didn't seem like teh same writers or filmmakers were behind this episode. I guess another issue I have is that it was so negative and dark. I guess after investing so much time watching four seasons of these peoples' lives I expected to see it work out better in the end. The ole' fashioned Hollywood happy ending, I guess.

Interesting to note that Matt's child with Kimber (or Kimber, herself, for that matter) was never mentioned at all. Perhaps forshadowing to later events this season? Kimber takes the child and runs? She dies with the child while giving birth? Rumors about this season's finale allude to a "death" or at least a big event to shake up the cast. Julia is now leaving and has apparently left Sean for good this time, so maybe that is the "big news".

Also interesting to see that Michelle was not with CHristian any longer. I heard that she resigned to be on the cast for next season...

I also think it is impossible for Nip/Tuck to jump the shark. They've had momments in every episode for the last three years that would be considered jumping the shark for any other television show. Nip/Tuck is unequivocally exempt from jumping the shark IMO. LOL

I disliked the adult Annie character. While this similar character was pretty funny in the Brady Bunch films as sister Jan, I thought it didn't work here in a drama that isn't so tougue-in-cheek. SHe played a very similar character to Jan, and while the comic relief may be welcome I think it was too over the top.

The hurricane analogy, IMO, was one of the best parts of the show. While it was verbally spelled out on many occasions instead of being subtle, I felt that it was fitting to the narrative in this episode. It explained that they are weathering this lowpoint in their lives but will pull through because you have no choice really. The weather comes and goes, as do relationships and harsh times. You have no control over this and can only grit your teeth and bear it. Weather is also unpredictable and sometimes it doesn't hit as hard as it seems it will. SOmetimes it hits harder than expected.
What's most important in the end is that the family gets back together. It is the most important thing, even though relationships between lovers can break down.

I also expected to see the therapist as a big reveal. The voice was very distinct and it seemed as though the filmmakers went out of their way to avoid any direct look at the face until an opportune moment. But that never came, LOL.
