Talk:List of Nip/Tuck episodes

Episode articles?
Wikipedia is full of articles dedicated to individual episodes of television shows. Since we already have a list here with names, wouldn't it make sense to give Nip/Tuck the same treatment? Basically, I'm asking if anybody would be willing to assist with this. I'm not sure how much I could actually do (I missed the entire first season of the show and about half of the second), but I think this would be a great addition to Wikipedia's Nip/Tuck resources. Jeff Silvers 23:27, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I've already written episode descriptions for the first four episodes, as I head a club at school that watches Nip/Tuck on a weekly basis. The summaries are all my own writing, and I'd be happy to put them on here as well. I'll set these up later, as a trial run type of thing. If more people want to contribute, we'll see what happens. BigD527 22:43, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I put those four up. They need to be wikified, and we also should probably create a template. BigD527 23:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I think that individual episode articles are too much maintenance. They invite fancruft, speculation, and original research.  What I prefer is how the LOST episode guides work.  They're all on one page, limited to 500 words, and are purely synoptic.  They're much easier to maintain and it's easy to delete any unnecessary cruft. Jtrost (T | C | #) 23:52, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've never really noticed any major problems with fancruft on episode pages, and it doesn't seem like it'd be that difficult to remove them. Jeff Silvers 01:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Pictures
How do we feel about screenshots? BigD527 01:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If you feel they are useful for episode identification, then go for it. I'm not sure if they will, considering nature of the show (not a lot physically happens that one can easily capture in an image to identify one episode from another). -- Ned Scott 02:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * How about using screenshots of the person who is in the title of the show each episode?
 * I like that idea, the screenshots of the title subject. Also, if you check out the episode list for Lost, you'll notice that there's a "List of Seasons" section at the top. I think that perhaps something like that, or just that, could be incorporated here. --Cliff smith 20:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE IT PUBLIC WHEN THE NEW SEASON WILL BE SHOWN IN THE UK!!!! EVERYBODY KEEPS BLOODY ASKING!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.211.146.230 (talk) 22:57, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject LOE
As a member of this WikiProject, I will be reformatting the episode lists under the project guidelines. There will be a great deal of change. --Cliff smith 18:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Colors
This may seem wicked nitpicky (not to be confused with Nip/Tucky), but does anyone feel that maybe we should change the colors for seasons 2, 3, and 4. They are all just variants of gray. On the box sets, the color on the binding that indicates the season is: Season 1 - red (leave this) Season 2 - black Season 3 - tough to describe, a sort of olive/cream color Season 4 - blue, or something, temporarily.

I feel like the current red/gray/gray/gray scheme looks kinda weird. And kinda ugly. Any objections to me changing the colors? I'll probably do it later tonight. BigD527 01:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds good as long as it doesn't look tacky :P - D.

Season section
On the actual article for Nip/Tuck, there is a reference that supports the fact that there will be a 5th season this fall, with 22 episodes. However, there is no proof that supports the season section here, which includes space for seasons 6 and 7. Because of this, I am taking those out, as well as adding a reference for season 5 to prove that the info can be attributed to a reliable source. Cliff smith 17:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

gala gallardo epipsode -music

Patient Portrayer(s)
Does anybody else believe that the "Patient Portrayer(s)" field is uneeded? It doesn't really add any useful information to the article. Most of the actors under "Patient Portrayer(s)" are fairly unknown, don't even have their articles, and even one is uncredited. I suggest that in its place, it would be better if the "Patient's Procedure" was there instead or something. -- Xallium (talk • contribs) 12:31, 17 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, almost three quarters of the patient portrayers do have their own articles. I counted 46 out of 63. I don't see a reason why we should lose that section...though the patient's procedure could surely be added. Or maybe a new article that contains a table of episode/patient portrayer/surgery? BigD527 17:25, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes it adds information. I just don't think it's really that important for an Episode list. If a list like you suggested was created, then all the information would be suitable, I guess. Anyway, I just think that having the portrayer would be that relevent and if that the portrayer and procedure were both placed in the table, then there would be unfortunatly little room =/. -- Xallium (talk • contribs) 07:02, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay...definitely then. I'll help out if you need any. BigD527 21:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok im confused. Help with what? =S -- Xallium (talk • contribs) 12:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

isnt there a wrong info?
"With the exception of the pilot, each episode is named after the character(s) that will undergo plastic surgery in that particular episode."

well, it's not like that in every episode except pilot.

to give some examples;

-Nanette Babcock didnt have any surgery. She was rejected

-Adelle Coffin was the name of the dead woman whose head was used in recertification exam

-Frankenlaura could be considered as exception too as it was a dead body of a woman —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.97.30.196 (talk) 05:12, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

based on real life?
Don't know if it's of interest, but the Season 3 2005 Momma Boone episode (ep. 30) is apparently based on a real life event. It's listed in wikipedia article of "unusual deaths". Here's the text.

2004: Gayle Laverne Grinds, a 39-year-old woman, died after apparently living on her couch for 6 years, which eventually made her weigh 480 pounds. The coroner listed her cause of death as "morbid obesity".

Link: http://www.wftv.com/news/3643877/detail.html# "Emergency workers had to remove some sliding glass doors and lift the couch, with Grinds still on it, to a trailer behind a pickup truck. Removing her from the couch would be too painful, since her body was grafted to the fabric. After years of staying put, her skin had literally become one with the sofa and had to be surgically removed. She died at Martin Memorial Hospital South, still attached to the couch."

A wiki page about her (referencing nip/tuck) was deleted, but the text is preserved here http://deletionpedia.dbatley.com/w/index.php?title=Gayle_Laverne_Grinds_%28deleted_04_May_2008_at_05:25%29

Just leaving this info for you fans to decide. Tkech (talk) 22:01, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Wrong link
If you look at season 2 episode 4, you can click on the link to the actress who played the patient in that episode and for some reason the link takes you to a massacure in Yemen. Maybe there is a link or this is just a mistake or a joke. Please verify and change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.187.157.59 (talk) 07:05, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Sixth season
I've reformatted the sixth season summary table to run continuously (as opposed to parts 1 & 2) as the show is only going to be off-air for a couple of weeks over xmas. This is common practice for networks and the show has taken a couple of weeks off in the past during seasons (which is not the same as when season 5 was split by a year). 80.47.108.98 (talk) 03:41, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Well it was said that is will be split into 2 parts like the 5th season. Can you find a source that says this will be the 7th? Thanks. -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 22:48, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I never said it was going to be the 7th...I said it is a continuation of the 6th. The 5th season was only split for so long because of the writers strike. Originally, the plan may have been to have a longer mid-season break for season 6 (therefore splitting it into parts 1 & 2), but now thats only going to be a couple of weeks so there is no need to consider it a mid-season split like season 5. The 6th season resumes in Jan 2010. 80.47.2.48 (talk) 02:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I logged onto the Nip/Tuck episode list to see tonight's upcoming episode discription. I saw that someone listed next months epiosdes as a season '7'. I know for a fact that season 6(current season) is being split in two parts. Part 2(the remaining episodes) airing next year. I did not break up the list of episodes and I didn't change anything except take off 'Season 7' and simply add 'Season 6 Part 2'. I got ripped a new one from a member on here named Mike Allen for something I didn't even do. I see no reason in splitting THIS season in two different parts since there is only a 3 week break between when they show the finaly episodes in January..but since someone else had already seperated them and called 'Part 2' 'Season 7' I thought I'd make the small edit. --Nutnlp (talk) 16:18, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Nutnlp, I never reverted any of your edits? I think it will be best to wait until what happens next month, I'm tired of getting into edit wars with these anon IPs (ugh). I was going by what CURRENT sources say (and they call it Season 7), not what was supposed to be a year ago.  We'll see. -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 18:18, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Nip/Tuck has taken a two or three week break in the middle of seasons before (such as between episodes 5 and 6 of season 1 for example) but this does not mean that the season is broken into two parts nor does it mean that anything after episode 5 was considered a "new season". Virtually every show takes a couple or a few weeks off sometime during its season (especially around christmas time). It is not the same as the year-long break during season 5 - that season was interrupted by the writer's strike. Season 6 is the final season and runs from 2009-2010. It does not matter how it has been reported by outside sources such as news outlets. That's just their own wording and is by no means official. If the official FX website starts listing the new episodes in January as season 7, then by all means change the article to reflect this, but until then, we should treat the final 9 episodes as the remainder of season 6. 80.47.76.135 (talk) 20:27, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I would just like to say that after tonight's episode instead of saying "stay tuned for a preview of the season finale" it was just the regular "stay tuned for a preview of next week's episode". So maybe it will be Season 6 or maybe Season 6 Part 2 (as originally planned).  I was just going by what mainstream websites were reporting, since that is what Wikipedia requires. -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 04:04, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I believe the episodes that air in January will be the remaining epiosdes of Season 6(current season). The only way they will split up the season is when it's released on DVD like they did with Season 5. But who knows since this is the final season and nothing to promote they might just release a complete box-set and be done with it. I guess, only time will tell, but it's safe to say that the episodes airing between January and March are the final episodes of Season Six. --Nutnlp (talk) 16:04, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

FX are calling the next 9 episodes "The Final Nine" or "The Final Cuts", so they're not helping. I say we just leave it as season six, unless we get definitive proof sometime in the future. Maxpower03 14:34, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The link says Season 7: http://fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/niptuck/episode.php?season=7 and even the offcial production blog calls "Benny Nilsson" the season finale. -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 22:53, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Please see the list of episodes, which describes how the 9 episodes intended for a seventh season were merged into the sixth season. You are listing episodes that are already included in the count of 100 episodes. --Ckatz chat spy  07:54, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
