Nip/Tuck

[out_there]

*snerk* Possibly I've just read too much slash fic, but for some reason I can't help thinking that one guy taking another guy to get laid "to boost his confidence" is incredibly homoerotic. It's odd that even though their in a strip bar, surrounded by signs of heterosexual desire, I still consider it so slashy. (Of course, the fact that it was Christian and Matt...*g*)

Ha! And then, Christian goes off with the hooker, can't get it up and the hooker accuses him of being gay ("Maybe you like boys").

Damn this show for making me want to write a fairly distasteful pairing. I mean, canonically, Christian's lusting after Matt's mom (his best friend's wife... currently seperated). Not to mention that the show hinted at Christian being sexually abused as a child (in the flashback he only looked about six, and the guy was just referred to as Mr somebody...). Hence, him sleeping with a 16 year old should be so very wrong.

And I'm still tempted by it...

And what about the fact that Matt is his son?! I mean come on, Black Irish?! I don't know how Julia maintained that lie for so long.

Okay, ewwww! Ewww! Ewwwwwww!

In my defense, they've only screened the first two episodes, so I hadn't picked up on that.

I got the impression that he only dated Julia for a short period of time before they broke up, and she started dating his friend (Shawn? Not sure of his name. Also not sure if I like him or not.). I hadn't got the impression that they'd slept together during the marriage...

Or was that why she married Shawn? Got pregnant and figured he would be the better father?... Hmmm... no, I don't quite want to believe that.

Damn. There goes my distastful but pretty pairing.

Sorry for the sorta spoiler!

Oh man! This show just...there are no words. Prepare for a roller coaster. A LOT of stuff is going to happen on this show, except the part about Who's the Daddy?

To answer the question about dating, you just have to watch it, because to actually tell you would involve more detail and will be a lot less exciting than just watching it all happen on screen.

I heart this show!

Ah. See, I only watched because I ws flicking, and there was Julian McMahon (otherwise known as the main reason I started watching Charmed *g*).

Apart from the surgery scenes, I really, really like it.

So, go ahead and spoil me (because this will stop me from writing fic that will end up being really, really wrong). How come there's the question about Matt's real father? Is it just a gut instinct, or do we have canonical hints?

Hmmmm... Although, this does explain Christian a little more. I mena, from the way he acts, it's kinda clear that he considers her the one he once loved, but from the way it's been discussed, it was just a few dates, which doesn't make sense. If this was more of an ongoing thing, Christian's attraction to her would be more understandable. I'm thinking about this now. *g*

First off, I love your icon. Can't wait until January, 'cuz I'm missing some Woody.

If I understand correctly, Christian dated Julia before Sean, but all three of them remained close. So close that while Sean was delivering Matt, Christian was holding Julia's hand.

And there are canonical hints. A big one is Julia taking Christian's brush and Matt's razor to the DNA clinic. But we never find out the results because it seems like when she goes to tell Christian the results she finds out that Christian is going to be a daddy.

As the show progresses there's a lot of homoerotic subtext between Sean and Christian.

I'd recommend continuing to watch the show.

Me too! (Wish I could remember who made it, though. I should have taken note when I first put it up...) We just had the third season screen over here. *happy sigh* One of my few het OTPs.

*nods* I noticed that too. But, I wasn't sure how much of it was on the show, and how much of it was just my habit of seeing sexual chemistry between Julian McMahon and everyone around him. *g*

I'd recommend continuing to watch the show.

Definitely. Nothing better than finding a good new show. *g*
