Okay, Nip/Tuck -- you WUSSED! You double wussed! Sheesh! For a show whose bread and butter is shock value, they double wussed tonight.

First, the AIDS scare story. I was pretty damn sure from the beginning that they wouldn't make Cristian HIV positive (how can he be the show's fucktoy if he is? So I'm not shocked they wussed. In fact I expected them to wuss. But I was still mildly disappointed at their taking the easy way out.

And on Sean's story they DEFINITELY took the easy way out! Shees! Not to wish horrible things on Sean, but he was attacked by a rapist. Why the hell wasn't he raped? The Carver has been cutting up BOTH sides of people's faces and raping his victims regardless of gender... so the slasher/rapist breaks into Sean's house to terrorize him... but gives Sean atypical wounds by only cutting ONE side of his face and "not as badly" as his other victims and not raping Sean. That makes no sense. The rapist wouldn't change his M.O. In fact since the whole thing was a show of power with Sean fixing the rapist's victims and the rapist wanting to punish Sean, of COURSE he would have raped Sean. And there was no reason for Sean's injuries to be any different from the others. In this respect, I was actually surprised how much the show wussed out. I rather thought that Nip/Tuck would go there.

On a bright side... I actually even liked the Cristian/Kimber scene when he came to tell her about the possible exposure to HIV and she shocked the wholly hell out of him by being calm about it and by being supportive saying she'd love him no matter what.
