Nip/Tuck

*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...

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*

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