Tuck Everlasting

I've heard some mixed things about last night's season finale of "Nip/Tuck" - actually, pretty much all negative things. Mainly that "not enough happened." That's natural, because a lot of things actually got wrapped up last week when creepy Jacqueline Bisset offed herself - the Escobar stuff was kind of tacked-on at the last minute, and by that nature it had to be resolved fairly quickly and tidily.

In a larger sense, it's sort of perturbing that "stuff has to happen" for a show to be good - big, sweeping events instead of just important character moments - and also, how was this not a lot of "stuff" happening? Liz finally confronting Escobar and getting some sort of closure with being shot and having her kidney stolen, Escobar gone, the Michelle situation dealt with (albeit off-camera), a nice Sean/Matt scene and biggest of all, a new status quo in LA (I'm not sure, though, what happened with Wilbur). Seems pretty packed to me. It's not a spooky guy in a mask chopping off fingers, but that's probably best.

It did seem, though, that this would be a nifty series finale - all the ongoing storylines wrapped-up and a new beginning and happy ending for Christian and Sean - but that apparently isn't the case.

The big question in my mind is will "Brighter Disconnect" by the Submarines (the tune lip-synced in the over-extended musical sequence) be the next "Breathe Me" by Sia?
