DUBBA DEEZ.

Another kick ass episode! Crazy surgery backfiring? Check! Christian back in fighting form? Check! Main cast member freaking out? Check! Life changing "accident"? Check!

Solid writing from start to finish and next weeks episode looks great too.

The last ep wasn't bad. Everything seemed pretty grounded. I'm not surprised at all about Liz and Christian's relationship. I wonder if she's gone for good now or not.

One of the slower paced episodes this season, but it was really good show. I like seeing Kimber involved again, up to her old devious tricks. Nice little twist with Christian finishing the Botox and Kimber taking the blame for it. Offers up a nice moral dilemma that the show hasn't done yet.

I'd like to think Sean has some integrity and won't sell his story to Aidan to be turned into a crappy Lifetime move. Speaking of Aidan, the opening patient case and the set up for Aidans' surgery was hilarious. The great streak continues and looks like it's going to keep going into next week. The season is almost over.

Isn't this the last season?

[Rumpy]

No, season 6 is the last one. We're watching the 2nd half of the 5th season now (8 episodes). Season 6 won't air until as late as 2011 (iirc it's planned to be a full length season).

Ah, that split confused me.

Good episode last night, it was actually really sad. Nothing really wacky or outlandish, I've heard about that goofy "blind restaurant" in LA, I think they opened one in NYC too and that dude has the worst virus ever (I've seen pics of the real dude a long time ago too). His story is an interesting parallel to Christians problems and I'm surprised at the direction they're taking with him. I guess this is all leading into a real concrete ending of the show...his whole life situation is really intense.

I'm loving this season, it feels much more like how the show started. Sean and Christian have been through so many trials and tribulations that the idea of something they can't get through together is crazy. Christians' confused sense of how he has lived and how people see him along with Sean struggling to straighten out his own life compass is really striking. Seans' girlfriend is another nut but she doesn't have the looks to keep her around through the bullshit, I hope she takes a hike soon.

Next week: a whole lotta drama.

Yeah, I don't like his g/f either. I've seen that resturant on some reality show too, I can't remember which one.

I liked the bring back of the Pussy Lips patient, it's cool seeing what the old people are up to now. And just when you think you've found a replacement, he turns out to be a furniture fucker! The interview he had with Christian was fantastic.

Next week: Season Finale! Can't wait to see how they lead into the last season.
