LazyDivey posted:Yeah the censored first episode is on youtube today! So glad this show is back so I can have my Ian/Mickey gay drama. Also missed that bastard Frank. sup gay drama buddy   Ian's arc got really loving depressing last season, I just want that kid to be happy. Here's hoping he'll meet a cute army boy to get his mind off Mickey. I think I'm gonna wait and watch the preview when it airs. "Censored Shameless" just sounds wrong to me. I want to bask in the glorious depravity.

Maia posted:This is the best post about Shameless. Yeah, that is literally one of the best moments in the show. I've started watching the UK version and I'm liking it a lot. I have to watch with the captions on because I can't understand their accents sometimes.

Smeep posted:Is Ian just not on the show anymore? His story line with Mickey Milkovich was the best. Goddamn, I hope not. His character is really great, and I feel like the show is missing something without him. I can't find much about it online, and he seems to have been working on some other stuff since last season. I feel like the way they left it with him, story-wise, is a strange and unsatisfying way to write out the character, but that might just be me. At the same time, though, I can't see them just now starting to explain what he's been up to after two episodes without him. With all of the rest of the Gallaghers (and Kev and V) in the middle of their own pretty much separate storylines, I can't see them devoting too much time to introducing accessory characters from Ian being in the army. The fact that Mickey was asking around all over the place for Ian makes me think we haven't seen the last of him, though. It could go either way, but I think they'd be making a mistake to write him off completely. It might just be for the season or part of it, which sucks but might actually be a nice break from how loving dark poo poo got with him last season. Also that picture is adorable. I have such a crush on Noel Fisher.

I thought Debs walking into the Milkovich's denful of angry Russian hookers and innocently going "so...is Mandy home?  " was pretty great. Carl's method of breaking Frank's leg was awesome. Mickey's storyline has been equal parts fun and interesting so far, I like that he's getting more screen time. He's such a likable shithead. e: realized I said "pretty great" three times.

Jesus Christ. That was some seriously brutal stuff with Liam. Loved this episode, and the promise of a hosed up, dark rest of the season ahead. It all seemed a little too good to be Shameless. It felt like a finale though, and we're what, like 4 episodes in? Can't wait to see where this stuff goes. But all I can think of when Running Tree is on screen is

The scene with the baseball bat was amazing, you can see he's still got that smug loving look on his face until Fiona starts actually swinging it at him. God, what a shithead he is.

Brennan posted:love Mickey through the whole thing I'm loving the screentime that he's getting this season. He's a really fantastic actor and watching his character transform from the fuckhead he started out as to actually starting to come to terms with his feelings for Ian is really awesome. Seeing Carl become more of a character is great, too. I'm loving this season.

Titan posted:I'm seconding (thirding?) all the love for Mickey this season. His character development has been amazing and I am really interested in where they decide to take his character. Quick question though, what's the reason behind Ian's lack of screen time? Schedule conflict? Yeah, I think I heard somewhere that Cameron Monaghan was filming The Giver while most of this season was being shot.

OneWhiteWhisker posted:I think we're seeing what a quirky kid from a dysfunctional home trying to grow up too fast and having no idea how to do it looks like. It's rough, it's awkward and it's hard to watch. That's puberty in a nutshell. In the spectrum of dysfunction, she's the "weird kid". It's cute when they're little, but once they start to take on the characteristics of adults, it quickly becomes creepy, even repugnant. Considering how she wears her heart on her sleeve, she's in for a world of hurt, and it will be gut-wrenching to see how she processes it (or finds a means of self-medication to avoid doing so). I think this is what has been so particularly brutal about this season. We're waiting for the other shoe to drop on so many of the family's plotlines, and it's pretty clear things are not going to go as "nicely" as they have in the past. "Nicely" being a relative term, of course. Still, Deb is growing up from a sweet, idealistic kid into a painfully emotionally stunted teenager who's getting set up to make some horrible decisions, Fiona is in a huge downward spiral that almost took out Liam, something loving weird is up with Ian, and Mickey is probably going to pay the price since he's finally actually acknowledging his feelings (them kissing in the bar was such a gently caress YES moment for me, I remember finally acting on those feelings too well  ), Frank is dying, and a vast majority of the fallout is coming crashing down around Lip's college career. Not to mention I don't think V and Kev are quite out of the woods yet with their troubles, either. Carl is about the only one who doesn't have some horrible situation looming over his head in the foreseeable future, as he seems to be moving away from his psychopathic tendencies into more of a young-Frank role. Not a good future, by any means, so it's pretty telling that that's the silver lining of this season.I'm loving this season, but things have gotten dark.

teagone posted:Not sure why I'm spoilering this since it's speculation, but this season would be grim if Kevin, despite loading up on assault rifles, MREs, and grenade launchers, ends up getting gunned down in a robbery or something, leaving Vee with 2 kids to raise on her own. Morbid thought, but I wouldn't rule out Shameless from pulling something like that this season considering how dark it's been up to this point. Yeah, my friends and I have been seeing some dark signs in the making. Once again, not real spoilers, but I dunno, some people might not want to read  from random forums users. One friend said something about Ian overdosing or killing himself, while I've been completely convinced that Kev and V are gonna somehow end up with only one baby or completely childless and I was like, poo poo. What is wrong with us?

Have we seen that sister before? Was there even mention of Mike having a sister before this that worked at the company? I was a little confused about that, because I didn't remember her at all.

Yeah, this episode was great and a little more than it has been in the past few weeks. The resolution of Mickey's coming out was really cathartic. His and Ian's whole arc this and last season have been fantastic. And it's so good to see his shithead of a dad get a small part of what's coming to him in getting the poo poo kicked out of him. What an irredeemably awful human being. Kev was amazing during the bar fight. Not enough Kev and V this episode, overall, though. Although I suppose their stories are pretty much resolved for the season. Does anyone else feel like Sheila's character makes no sense anymore? She's gotten really bizarre. I'm also glad they addressed how weird it was that a 20something girl went out of her way to ruin Debbie's social life for a couple years.

It really was such a great "gently caress yes" moment. We've been waiting to see that since season 1, and it was perfectly done.  That entire sequence, the scene with Frank and "Fiona," and the scene where they brought the Alibi Room to Frank are probably some of the best scenes in the show. Fiona's initial reaction to Liam getting into the coke was up there, too. The only thing I can remember with that much emotional impact last season was the scene where Debs turns on Frank, and the one where Mickey's dad walks in on him and Ian. I know I'm forgetting a bunch of great stuff, but I think they've really been on point with this season. I'm really sad about the wait til next year already, it's been so fantastic I don't want it to ever end.
