With the recent premiere of the second half of the season, the show's prognosis took a turn for the worse and the moving stories and dramatic characters we'd grown to love and hate over the four previous seasons were soon drowning in a sea of choppy storytelling, misplaced emotional beats and undeveloped characters. And after being harshly split by the Writers' Guild Strike spanning from the fall of 2007 to the early months of 2008, Nip/Tuck was forced to finish out the season this past January, nearly a year after the mid-season finale and cliffhanger. Though rife with potential in the carefully-crafted, if slow-starting, first few episodes of the season that had Sean and Christian delving into the dark depths of their new neighborhood, the slow-developing stories throughout the first half of the season had the characters treading water and gasping for breath.
