The TV Addict 

The moment was actually really interesting. It was sweet and strange. I love their dynamic, but I’m worried that Liz might fall for him and Christian won’t be interested.

I wasn’t bothered by it and didn’t see it as much of a controversy, though I could see where some might. I also wrote about this in my review this morning (linked ya, so hopefully we’ll get people talking) , and like Ash I wasn’t bothered by what this means for Liz because of her very honest conversation with Raj later in the episode.

Gay or straight, people sometimes have sex for the wrong reasons, under stressful circumstances, but that doesn’t change who they are, or who they prefer to have sex with.

I looooved the episode…..Nip/Tuck reinvents itself every season and this time around it looks like what they are giving us is some thought in regards to one’s sexual definition..Should you be straight, lesbian or undefined? and what true friendship is about….Sean only got up after Christian talked to him and told him how he understood his dilemma…yes there is a lot of sex and sexy people around but behind all of the theatrics some powerful questions are posed.

I was more perturbed by the diapering of Sean than I was by Christian taking advantage of Liz.

I thought the scene was a little odd, but it also made sense within the context of Liz and Christian’s relationship. Liz is still a lesbian; she simply allowed herself to cross her usual boundaries because of her feelings for Christian. Bhcolin’s comment about the act being “borderline rape” is simply incorrect. Christian certainly didn’t force himself on Liz, and she was perfectly capable at anytime of telling him to stop or simply moving away from him. I think perhaps BHcolin was focusing on the mixed emotions shown on Liz’s face, but I believe that was meant to convey the different thoughts she was having about engaging in sex with Christian, and not some demonstration that she was being coerced into doing something against her will. And her conversation with Raj later made it perfectly clear that she had consented to sex. Sexuality is a lot more fluid than most people care to admit, and the show attempted to play with this point.
