It was a dick move to interrupt her in the middle of her talk and invalidate her presentation, yeah. She talks about the irony of having her book thesis and talk destroyed by a gay Jesuit, so it's implied she knows him which makes sense as he's another academic in her field.
I think she said he was a gay Jesuit because he was extremely effeminate and was there from Loyola.

Gus made a chump move. He's ridiculously petty, his band sucks, his apartment is stupid and he could have filed for divorce on his own.

Nick was written off in a stupid and needlessly brutal way. You could have had him attack a kid and go back to prison without jumping straight to hammer murder.

I like how Caleb's response to Ian asking if he was a gay prop was saying no while basically reaffirming that he was in fact a prop.

Lip's story bums me out because he's my favorite character and the writers have made him really stupid

I don't really care about dropped plot threads in a character-driven show like this (Friday Night Lights is one of my favorite shows of all time) as long as the stuff they replace those plots with isn't incredibly stupid.

It's always weird that they don't bother with the Oscars but gladly go up against the Super Bowl. I guess the Oscars go later and conflict with the second showing as well.

That whole episode was pretty bad

Also lol I didn't pick up on Rick Fox playing Frank's muscle

Rick has been acting in various roles for a while now, I guess because he played in LA and is handsome. Must've stuck with you somewhere

Did they ever explain why he didn't take the full ride to MIT with the guarantee he wouldn't have to take undergrad classes and would just be allowed to work on robots?

Being near family? Something about not abandoning his roots?

She's basically like Michael Bluth in that she seems like the one keeping things together but on closer look she's terrible. But I still root for her because Rossum does a great job of making her easy to empathize with.

I don't know what else to make of this episode, it felt more like filler and in a show that only has at most 10 episodes each season there's no reason for that. We got to follow Lip around and watch him get his libido back in what had to be one of the most awkward scenes I have ever seen on tv, and then they turned around and made it even dumber with that last shot of him in the sex room. I mean, I don't get it, is this just a Showtime/HBO thing? They need to have a quota of T&A for each episode?
Every season has had 12 episodes

Ian purposely trying to bug catch and new guy flipping out about it and breaking up with Ian over it would be something totally in character for Ian, and a way to do that storyline without being cliche or enforcing a negative stereotype.

Liked this episode a lot more than the previous one but that ending was an eyeroller.

This show is in such fine form, it's without a doubt its best season yet. Like many I'm not a huge fan of Sean or Debbie but these storylines are starting to come together really well.

Mostly I'm really happy to watch Shameless on a weekly basis, this season moves forward in time really fast and so much stuff is happening. I really enjoy my time with the Gallaghers but it wouldnt be the same if I could binge through 4 episodes a night.

I would call this by far the worst season. But it's still enjoyable.

i didnt see any preview but based on last episode

i dont think the baby is going to last too long on the show, in fact i never thought they would actually have her end up giving birth and keeping it - but thats all just a hunch, I thought when she mentioned SIDS and being overprotective there was some foreshadowing but it ended up with the baby dropped on the floor and not dead.
That would be by far the darkest thing the show's ever done. There's no way that's the route they take.

First episode of season 7 is now available on the showtime website ahead of the Oct 2 premiere.

Oct. 2 premiere? The last season didn't even end six months ago! All my winter shows are sneaking up on me.

In your defense, it is a shorter break this time, last season started in January.

I know, that's what I'm getting at. I'm fairly sure it's always started in January so it wasn't on my radar at all. The same thing happened with Transparent dropping yesterday when the last season came in December.
