realdoll? on Nip tuck
realdoll? on Nip tuck
anyway,, I just saw the ad on tv really quickly
Divergs
Judging by the promo (unfortunately for the second week in a row it decided to storm and screw with my satellite on Nip/Tuck night, so it might have missed something) Sean (just recently re-seperated from Julia) ends up with the doll somehow.
Should be interesting to see where they go with it.
I found this today on Comcast's entertainment channel (By FRAZIER MOORE, AP Television Writer):
Article follows, enjoy!

Meanwhile, Kimber Henry, a dishy actress-model-whatever whom Christian has previously dated and discarded, is back in the picture _ and in the doctors' office for a consultation, along with her prototype of a life-size "Miss Kimber" sex doll being marketed by her adult-film producer. She wants the doctors' services in, um, improving a part of its anatomy.
"I have orifice approval," she announces.
Before the episode is over, Sean has bedded "Miss Kimber" in a startling tryst (a first for TV drama?) as well as its flesh-and-blood counterpart (played by Kelly Carlson). Thus does "Nip/Tuck" again investigate the sometimes shadowy distinction between what's fantasy and what's real, while demonstrating man's capacity for vengeance against those he loves most: With Kimber, Sean gets to punish both Christian and Julia.
In short, "Nip/Tuck" chronicles dissatisfaction.
The theme song, played against images of stark-white, perfect mannequins, implores, "Make me beautiful."
And "Tell me what you don't like about yourself" is the standard refrain from Sean and Christian to their prospective clients _ the assumption being that self-acceptance is a function of appearance.
Sometimes it is. But more often on "Nip/Tuck," the lives and labors of Sean and Christian add up to disappointment.
"I can see the doll is well fabricated," Sean tells Kimber when she meets with him and Christian. "But in the end, she's just rubber. She's not real."
To which Kimber replies, "Sometimes, Doctor, real isn't what you want."
That may be. But obscuring the difference is what they're all about.
