The Wind Beneath My...ahem....Wings

Nip/Tuck is the best show on Earth.

FINALLY, they are A+ on track with their characters:

Christian is constantly getting dumped on, but is stoic about it.
Sean is an infantile lame-ass.
Julia's MIA.
Liz is grounded and loyal.

And we've got the fun stuff: Christian's missing breast!  Sean's fake paralysis!  A thieving hooker from Craigslist!  Who beats up a cancer patient!  A bad-hair and neckerchief wearing duo!  With gender confusion! (Nip/Tuck's bread and butter).

Now they only have to introduce the most over-the-top storyline in the world for Matt (any suggestions?), and throw Christian and Kimber together for some sparks, and they'll have the best show ever created.  

And yes, I include Buffy and Angel in that.  :)

Side Note: WHY is this the end of the fifth season?  It feels like a new season, and the first two-thirds of season 5 aired a year ago.  Does anyone know the technical reason for this?  I'm sure it's something boring and financial, but I also know they have an end-date set up for Nip/Tuck and I'm wondering if the "Season 5" label is an attempt to get around that.  Can only hope, anyway- this show seems to have found a second wind.
