    That was a 10 cent ending. Did M Night Shalawhatever write this twist?

    Are you sure it was season two? I recall that was season 3, and I recall him fixing Troy's face, not Seans.

    I haven't seen either movie, but it seemed like the show turned into SAW at the end there with the Carver and Mr. Nazi.

    Several parts bothered the **** out of me
    1. Was ole girl an ACTUAL Cop? I mean how stupid is the local PD . .to allow just anyone to come in and take over an investigation. . .then disappear.
    2. I guess someone was SCREAM!
    3. Her explaination tipped it

    1. I have spent most of the season hating Matt. Good to see him come through in the end and not punk out. "DO IT!!" I was like d*mn that was cold [but well deserved].
    2. Julia is still manipulating Sean's stupid *** . . . Sean is such a fricking Wuss. I think I will hate him all next season.

    Weak.
    Sorry but if I am Christian I am putting my boot to Quintin's cranium until I see brain. He just stood there.
    ...

    Fonzi just barely cleared that ring of maneaters.

    Spoilers...

    That was a bunch of bullcrap...especially how they got away with it in the end. Also, the episode made law enforcement look like a bunch of incompetent nerf herders. Just leave it all to Kit to investigate. We will eat donuts. There might as well be no law enforcement in the Nip/Tuck world. Also, I love how Matt went from extreme to mr. nice guy with morals. Julia is a freaking ho who can't make up her mind. She is adamant that it is over with Sean. Then, she has some hokey nightmare and changes her mind. I don't think we have seen the last of Kimber, either. We all should have seen the Kit thing cause no detective or whatever she was can do all the stuff she did under the guise of law enforcement. Internal Affairs apparently doesn't exist on this show. They obviously couldn't pull off the surprise ending without having the Carver perpetrators play off as victims themselves. We should expect no less on Nip/Tuck.

    I'm not too disappointed in who the carver turned out to be, even though he was an obvious choice. Let's face it, Quentin really was the only person that would have made any sense. If it were Gina, how the hell is frail little Gina going to have the strength to do the things the carver has done? Or how would they have explained how short tubby Liz can be the same person that looks tall and muscular in the Carver suit?

    My only problem was how they handled that final scene between Sean, Christian, and Quentin. They built such a great mysterious character that was so creepy and sent chills down your spine. Then when that scene came, it was all so goofy and comical. When Quentin revealed that he was the Carver, I wish he would have remained the quiet, creepy, sadistic Carver character, rather than turn back into the suave gigolo character that he’s been playing all season long.

    I’m also kind of disappointed that none of the main characters were killed. With all the destruction the carver has done, it’s sad to see that in the end, the worse thing the Carver did to anybody in the final episode is hurt Sean’s pinky finger.

    I know she's not a main character, but you have to admit Kimber got pretty messed up by ol' Quintin.

    Don't forget all the women he hacked up in one night. If you don't die on the show, then you can be magically fixed by Sean and Christian. They do wonders.

    I agree, though, that was the wrong time to unmask. The ensuing conversation after he unmasked was comical. He should have disguised his voice and been more threatening. Also, I found it funny that Kit had to lie about Gina having called 9-1-1 as the reason she showed up and then shot Quentin. That was obvious it could work against her. Kit could have just said she had a hunch and/or wanted to talk to Christian or Sean. I mean...it became obvious after they discovered the Carver wore a strap-on that it was then, in fact, Quentin. She could have just said she showed up looking for Quentin. Plus, the whole ending was completely unnecessary since they weren't going to hurt Sean or Christian seriously. I mean...they already ruled out Quentin in the investigation earlier. Kit and Quentin could have just left town at various times and noone would have suspected anything. They didn't need an out like that so what was the point of staging that ending?

    Also, Kit having told the semi-truth about Quentin's history and then Christian/Sean go to the orphanage seeing the updated photograph of them. That was a dead giveaway they obviously pulled a fast one but neither Christian or Sean found it significant still thinking Quentin was dead as far as I can tell. They had to realize she was then the sister. So, did they think the sister shot Quentin dead? Give me a break.

    Maybe I misinterpreted some of that... .

    He had intended to reveal himself to Sean and Christian because he became annoyed by their heroic antics. Everytime he'd mane someone they would come to fix it, so they went on the 18 girl sorority run thinking Christian and Sean would back down eventually but they were very stubborn. Quentin made that slip of letting that girl see the strap-on and knew that the police would come after him so they had to devise the plot of the carver making quentin one of his victims to eliminate him as a suspect.

    Quentin felt that he wasn't getting his message across as the carver so that's why he revealed his identity to them. I'm pretty sure Sean and Christian turned over the evidence to the authorities, and maybe next one of the storylines will focus on kit and quentin. Possibly one of them gets caught and the other vows revenge?

    I don't know. It's a bit all twisted but it was good but still a tad bit disappointing.

    I was really disappointed. The Matt storyline was more interesting (and crazier) then the Carver ending. Once they revealed it was Quentin halfway through the show, all I could think was ok, Quentin isn't the Carver or there's two. Once Kit mentioned a sister, i knew it was her. Just too easy and too unoriginal. It basically copied Scream (which could have copied something else, I'm not sure). Not to mention that they didn't get caught, which means if the fourth season is doing badly Murphy will probably try to bring them back. The one thing I will give him credit for, was the fact that everyone was saying it was a girl wearing a strap-on to commit the rapes. Well it was a strap-on but a bit different then we had all guessed.

    BTW, I think it would have been cooler if Quentin had snapped or something and tried to take over as the Carver (after his incident). He cuts Sean and is scared off by Kit or something. Then in the last scene, when you think he is going to get away, the real Carver finds him again. As he/she kills Quentin, Quentin unmasks them and we get to see the real Carver.

    I only started watching the show this past few months and haven't gotten through season 1 yet, but did just watch this Carver Eps. and I couldn’t agree more about the Christian ******* thing... I kept saying to myself durring this one... why the hell is Christian so nice.. That would be like Cartman on SouthPark becoming nice as Butters.. IT DOESNT WORK.. I don’t know if I'll be watching the other seasons after I get done with the first, the show looks like it's falling off a cliff.. :(

    I'm curious how he did the sorority. 12 girls just waiting their turn to get raped and carved??? Not one could have run away to call the police??? At least that's how it sounded when the girls said she was waiting for her turn.

    Well with the drug the carver uses, they can't scream or move so it was all done very quietly. Only when one of the girls walked in was he interuptted.
