If it wasn't for Peter Dinklage, I'm not sure I would be even look at it anymore. And when I saw Roma Maffia wake up in the tub with ice resting against where her kidney used to be, I was out for good. Ryan is really going there? Really? The best he's got is a tweak on one of the hoariest of all urban legends?

If you can't -- Well, you start asking yourself, how many primetime TV newsworthy heists is this crew (or subcrews thereof) going to pull off in a season? And this is just <I> one</I> crew? Good lord, the country should be in chaos! Some crews' probably breaking into my house right now!<BR/><BR/>And it pains me to say that I don't really feel much chemistry between the leads -- and I <I> like</I> Smart, Baker, Liotta, and Aghdashloo. The only really compelling character to me is Madsen's, and I think that may be because her backstory is unfolding at a more leisurely pace, without indie rock music, high speed vehicle chases, or dramatic disposals of cellphones. Her "action sequence" this week involved opening drawers and making phone calls, and I still found it more intriguing than anything else that happened in the hour. (Though my strongest response was at the telegraphed ending of the episode -- if only the flip-flopped man had started his search at the SoCal border. Then they could save him for next season, where he'd just appear ringing the doorbell of people's houses, consulting his frayed police sketch, and shooting anyone with long curly hair and sunglasses in the face.)<BR/><BR/>AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1159415998311952492006-09-27T23:59:00.000-04:002006-09-27T23:59:00.000-04:00Alan, can we get a thread to talk about the deligh...Alan, can we get a thread to talk about the delightfully trashy Nip/Tuck?

I like it that Bobby's one of those suburbanites who just isn't satsified. <BR/><BR/>I enjoy Annie's double dealing and just gleefully amoral attitude, and there's no attempt so far to soften her. Usually by episode 2 they bring in the long lost daughter or the best friend she really cares about. Nope! I did suspect she got that ID stuff to track down the witness, but no dice there. <BR/><BR/>Jim and Tom are the kind of characters that slashfics were created for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1159360762868480982006-09-27T08:39:00.000-04:002006-09-27T08:39:00.000-04:00How many times does a police sketch look EXACTLY l...How many times does a police sketch look EXACTLY like the guy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1159360549455735062006-09-27T08:35:00.000-04:002006-09-27T08:35:00.000-04:00Something puffy about that face.Something puffy about that face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
