People clapped when it finished. Cool. Nearly all aspects of the film were truly flawless, except for 'the point of it all', the mission, the message, the lesson, etc. Someone unaware of modern Hollywood and Emma Stone's affiliations might be confused when looking for it in this film about ethics and XXX. This is where a lot of gaps in the story happen and one is left to wonder "Why" very often. The film was written around 'The Mission', instead of the other way around.

Because AI might as well had written it (with minor human involvement), it's a bit scrambled, so try to follow... A XXX woman is an empowered and enlightened being free from the cage of God and man. God is man, good and evil. Aggressive dominant male is weak, exchanged for (demands) even weaker Passive submissive cucked into infinity, emasculates hyper aggressive male by turning him into the animal he is, and restores balance with polyamorous fem-lesbian (femme) in protest. Man is the servant of women. Children and problems are as synonymous as heaven & hell. Feminism is freedom of self, and socialism is freedom from God and man.

Sally: Excuse me, teacher? Is it not true that sexual liberty cannot exist without men to exercise it?

Teacher: And?

Sally: Well, how does opening our legs like we open our minds put us in a position of power? Shouldn't we be giving men less of what they want if we are to be masters over them?

Teacher: What you're referring to is what men have been trying to sell for millennia. Do not forget that 'The Mission' includes domesticating the male to eliminate the need for such conservative acts. XXX is where a woman's power lies, the liberation of it is as much an exercise for women, than it is for men. We are in control of the powers they try to take away from us.

Sally: yes, but we're taught that money is a system that men made to control us also, so shouldn't we reject prostitution as it's the most a woman can do to serve men in all capacity? Shouldn't they be serving us without it?

Teacher: They already do that naturally darling, this is about risking nothing in the process.

It wasn't the questions that sent poor little Sally to detention that day, but that she questioned anything at all. The only valid question Sally could've asked is "What can I do to support The Mission?" which is more an affirmation, but still; all she should've said that day.

5/10.

I don't know if there was a writers strike, a vacation or what, but once season 2 starts, the story board and dialogue gets questionable. There's only so much I can ignore from the start before i'm moved to post about it. When the snow starts towards the end, i'm baffled about why she would choose to do this to begin with, and clearly Michael "HAS" to come around and mention what the audience is thinking, but everything she's saying is as if she were reading computer generated lines, completely scripted and lifeless, that's the theme for this episode and many more to come unfortunately. It's like when Alex dies and, Isabel says "he has to use his powers to open the door"... that set off the 140th dialogue issue alarm since the season began. Whats even more unusual is that the inconsistencies in the quality of writing are all over the place. We'll get a handful of scenes with perfectly written dialogue, and another handful of trash. The next episode: S2 Ep20 "Off the Menu" is perfectly example of this, and probably the episode where anyone watching can tell something's gone wrong behind-the-scenes. If anyone knows what happened, I'm sure we would all love to know.

I'm only writing this as testament to David Nutter, the writers, and to all those who remember what television was like 2005. It was a good year for medical dramas, House MD, Grey's Anatomy, ER, but only Nip/Tuck was allowed to really cut loose. To had been sitting there, watching this till the end in complete disbelief that you've allowed yourself to be so invested in a fiction, and that this series just pulled off one of the most brilliant conclusions to an episode. What a feeling.

I'm sure there's a long story as to how they got David to direct the episode. May we one day find out.
