An upcoming episode of Nip/Tuck will feature the troubled Kimber turning to Scientology as the answer to her problems. Scientology has been publicly bashed enough, right? Well, don't worry (maybe you were worried, I don't know), because Nip/Tuck isn't out to mock the controversial “religion�. The story will show the machinations of Scientology in a completely objective light, simply allowing the layman a truthful glimpse of the secretive sect. Watch as Kimber and Matt take long saunas to free themselves of their worldly concerns. Characters “audit� each other, bash the use of prescription drugs, discuss the human issue of “havingness� (you're guess is as good as mine), and view the phenomenon of silent births. Creator Dylan Murphy was interested in what Scientology was and doesn't want to cast it in a obviously negative light, so Nip/Tuck will focus on facts rather than opinions; a fresh approach for Hollywood on the touchy subject of Scientology. Now, I understand Murphy's motivations here, but I disagree with him. Scientology, for anyone who has researched it, is a terrible thing. This is pretty much indisputable. They have conned many fragile people into giving their life savings in return for the promised healing that Scientology won't bring. Scientology is a big business, a shady one, and something that is only given a shred of legitimacy by it's celebrity clientèle. Nip/Tuck might as well have an episode featuring the views and teachings of the Heaven's Gate cult, because that is exactly what Scientology is: a high-profile cult. -Oscar Dahl, BuddyTV Senior Writer
