Watched the "Nip/Tuck" series finale last night. I was half-expecting them to do something lurid in the finale, but, like most of this last season, things were restrained -- Julia taking the kids and settling in London, apparently to get married again. Christian and Sean up Liz (finally) and make her a full partner in the practice, then Christian later axes Sean and sets things up so Sean can go to Bucharest and do do-gooder surgical work that way. Matt takes his daughter and shacks up with Ava, who admits she doesn't love him, but Matt doesn't care (as close to a happy ending as Matt's going to get -- frankly, I'm surprised he survived). Kimber's "ghost" haunts Christian one more time, telling him from beyond the grave that she's finally over him. And it ends with Christian at an airport bar, meeting his next "Kimber," the lessons likely unlearned, although one can always hope. One of the subplots likely shows how Christian wants to go -- you could almost see the lightbulbs going off in Christian's head.
Anyway, they wrapped things up pretty quietly. I was nervous that Sean would snap, that Matt would snap, that Quentin would appear and carve the bejeezus out of everybody. But none of those things happened. Christian was a bit stubbly during the episode at times, uncharacteristically so -- I guess that was to symbolize his conflicts about doing the right thing by Sean, who had robotically embraced his life as it was, although Christian could see through it, telling Sean that "pretending to enjoy" the life he had was still pretending, not enjoying, and he needed to cut him loose.
And so it goes. The end.
