anyway, these two new shows that i regularly watch are nip/tuck and samantha who.
nip/tuck stars two plastic surgeons, christian troy and sean mcnamara. the episodes are basically about the stories of their lives as well as the stories of the people that they do surgeries on.
samantha who is about samantha who had an accident, was in coma for 8 days and was diagnosed with retrograde amnesia. her general knowledge is intact but no stored personal memories from before the accident.
the two tv shows are completely oppposite. they are both about changing the self but in two different ways and with two different kinds of effect.
nip/tuck is about changing the outside appearance of some people that troy/mcnamara work on. however, that doesn't change anything inside of them, the personality, the past, the memories..just how they look on the outside. and we all know that however we change how we look on the outside, the brain is magnificent in reminding us of the pains of our past.
samantha lost all memories of her past. she has the same face, surrounded by the same people, but with completely different personality.
if you think about it, samantha is more fortunate than the patients of drs. troy and mcnamara. she has a complete new life which she tries to be better in than in her past life. apparently, she was a very bad person before the accident, not having talked to her parents for 2 years, being the ambitious bitch at work as well as to all her co-workers and people around her, cheating on her boyfriend with a married man. she is given the opportunity to be a new and better person, a better boss, a better co-worker, a better friend, a better daughter, a better 'girlfriend', which she tries to do.
they say that there is nothing permanent in the world except for change. as we become older, our looks change. our hair grows longer, we have more wrinkles, we accumulate fats in the body, we have more memories stored in the brain. but as we become older, don't we also need to become more mature and be better persons? that is what life is all about. at the end of our lives, it's not about how pretty, handsome or wrinkly we are or how much money we have in our bank accounts or how much property we have acquired. what matters most is how well we have loved our family and friends and the people around us, how many people we have helped and influenced positively, how better we have become and how others have become better because of us and our love. that is the better reason for change.
i've discovered two new tv series at the website where i watch all the others. this is the website partially responsible for my tv series addiction.
