'Nip' Tip

I would like to support Gillian Flynn's proposal to release spider monkeys on the cast of Nip/Tuck (Television). My favorite show, once oozing with style and meticulous character studies, has become a mediocre, exposition-riddled soap opera. It is like Ryan Murphy left his 2-year-old child in the hands of grammar-school kids with ADD. Instead of diving deeper into the psyches of the protagonists, these writers ineffectively attempt to convey conflict and drama by making the characters yell a lot. The result is very capable actors looking like drama students in a school play. Maybe we can forget this season ever happened and pick up season 4 where season 2 left off.
