Nip/Tuck

NIP/TUCK premieres tonight on FX at 10pm, don’t forget to get your DVRs ready. I decided to take a look at the premiere and find out what I’ve been missing the last few seasons. O my god i am really so exited about this serial.


Ever since it began, I've run hot and cold on FX's "Nip/Tuck" (10 p.m. tonight). The sexual escapades of plastic surgeons Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and especially Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) are often ridiculously over the top, but the series sometimes makes up for its excesses by tackling social issues or executing a shocking brilliant plot twist - I'm thinking of Ava (Famke Janssen), the "she" who turned out to be a "he" in season two.

By season four, "Nip/Tuck" seemed to run out of steam and story, and then it ended with a surprise: The docs pulled up stakes from Miami and moved to Hollywood, the mecca of plastic surgery. It seemed like a last-ditch effort to breathe new life into an aging show. Having watched the first two episodes, I'm pleasantly surprised to say: It worked.

"Nip/Tuck" is thriving in its new locale, even if the McNamara/Troy practice is not. The two best buds are living together, but they have few patients to suture. That begins to change when they meet a publicist (Lauren Hutton) who starts pushing clients their way, including an actress (Daphne Zuniga), whom Hollywood suits have deemed too old for the lead in big-screen romantic comedies, including one she's desperate for that would have her play a "single-mother coal miner with an autistic child."











Murphy said that notion of temptation and retaining one's identity will be the thematic thrust of the show's fifth season.

"Nip/Tuck" supporting characters - including Liz (Roma Maffia), Matt (John Hensley), Kimber (Kelly Carlson) and Julia (Joely Richardson) - will also make the move to the West Coast. Julia, in particular, will have some surprising news for Sean and Christian. For Richardson, the chance to act in a different environment - all-new sets were built for the new season - was welcome. "Certainly with Dylan and me, we were done with that kitchen," she said, referring to the set of the home Sean and Julia shared in Miami. "There was nothing left that we could do in that kitchen."

Sweet caroline

Here's the lyrics:

Where it began, I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growing strong
Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who'd believe you'd come along


Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you


Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good (So good! So good! So good!)


I've been inclined to believe it never would
And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh


And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you


Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you


Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I've been inclined to believe it never would
Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good

Osaka served as animation director for many famous anime series like G Gundam, Escaflowne, Cowboy Bebop, & Macross Plus, as well as former NebsTV series FullMetal Alchemist & Ouran High School Host Club. A sad loss, indeed.
Ōsaka was an anime fan as far back as high school, when he emulated the style of the first Mobile Suit Gundam series and the works of Mitsuru Adachi (Touch, H2). Ōsaka began working in Japanese animation as a part-time job while he still taking university classes in Kyoto in 1983.

He gradually moved from animation of in-between cels to animation of key cels and eventually animation direction on Sei Jūshi Bismarck (Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs), City Hunter 3, Yoroiden Samurai Trooper (Ronin Warriors), Macross Plus, and Golden Boy.
The collaboration between Ōsaka, Minami, and Gundam 0083/Bebop character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto was so fruitful that the three left their respective companies to be the co-founders of the studio BONES in 1998. The three would work together of several fan favorite works of BONES, including Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, Wolf's Rain, and Fullmetal Alchemist.

who won top chef season 3 -Hung Huynh

The three finalists, Dale, Hung and Casey, are waking up to a new morning in Aspen. They're all very excited to be there, and Casey says she's having trouble catching her breath because of the high altitude. They all gather for breakfast, only to find a Top Chef notecard - with lift tickets inside. Off to the mountain!

Padma calls them back - on the stage and then we cut to Chicago for the finale, where the judges are wearing the same outfits they were wearing in Aspen. Did Bravo pay for dry-cleaning? The finalists come out to the cheers of audience members.

The judges thank the finalists for their hard work and spirit of competition. Tom asks them what they think of the show, now that they've seen it. Dale is happy, since he cooked his heart out and says that they're all winners. Casey, as sort of loosey-goosey as ever, "accepts" that this wasn't her challenge and says he told Hung and Dale that she had been kicking their ass for a while - to big laughs. Hung says he's nervous and that they're all great chefs.

Tom tells Casey what she knows - she's a fierce competitor but not winning; still she's a great chef. He tells Dale that he's glad he found his inner chef and that his menu was wonderful and his cooking is full of confidence. Hung is told that he came in a great technician and married it with passion. Tom leaves the Top Chef winner announcement to Padma... who says "Congratulations...HUNG! You're our Top Chef!"

A lot of crying and bounding around and hugs between the finalists and judges. Padma sticks a microphone in front of Hung, who says "I'm so excited. I worked so hard to get here and to prove myself. I had so much support for America. I'm speechless, but you'll be hearing more from me later." America - not all bad!
