I'm completely unspoiled too. Wasn't Bobolit dead or something? I assumed after the self-surgery he did, that he didn't survive...
I think that when Christian behaves like an asshole or is cruel to others it's often in order to hurt himself, to push people away. Besides he often tells it like it is. As for the patient of the last episode, there was something about her that called for shock treatment, and I think that Christian felt it. I didn't manage to feel sorry for her, even when he was such an asshole.
Sean can be very cruel too, sometimes even more but in a very different way (when he had that affair with a woman dying from cancer for instance, or lately), especially when he gives up.
Most of time Sean has a good image of himself while Christian has a bad image of himself, and they both trie to fit in that image. That's why both often end up doing wrong things. Morality-wise none is better than the other IMO. But I find Christian more moving. The actor playing Sean has always the same facial expression, so actually he would be the one I would compare to Boreanaz! LOL
As for Julia. I really didn't like her. The way Quentin played her (telling that he wouldn't have had sex in the office knowing that Sean could catch him) reminded me again of Valmont telling Mme de Tourvel that he wouldn't have kept a mistress around knowing that Mme de Tourvel was coming in...And she bought it!
I guess that Julia couldn't imagine something that twisted, she couldn't think that Quentin got buggered on purpose in the office, just to be caught by Sean (and to screw a pseudo-hero at the same time) so that way Sean would tell her something that Quentin could refute afterwards with mere common sense, making Sean look like an horrible person! It's grand art. Either she was fooled because like Mme de Tourvel she's too good to realize the stratagem, or she didn't really buy it and chose Quentin as her lover because she kept following her own hidden agenda...
Of course in my twisted mind Julia is evil and Quentin would be the biter being bit at the end of the day...;- )
