This was a great season finale and probably the best episode of the season. Anyone know what the song is that plays as Lip tells the audience to come back next year?

Great finale. Favorite part was when Kevin held up Neil so he could feel like a man while pissing, lmao.

William H. Macy is a loving treasure.

Loved that Fiona's most vicious line to Monica's corpse was also the only one where she called her “Mom". And yes, everyone bright their A-game here, even the smaller roles.

I wonder how often funeral directors have to deal with the whole "I'm glad my neglectful parent is dead but I will still pay for a marked grave." Bojack Horseman kind of covered that territory too in season 1.

It didn't really feel like the season built to that finale at all, but it was a good end either way and definitely filmed like a series finale. I'm glad the series decided to give the characters their drama in the mid 1/3rd and then left the back 1/3rd to be about them dealing with the fallout. It's much better overall than their typical method of just ramping up the drama until a huge shitstorm in the finale. I was happy that none of my predictions came true although the Monica death arc felt like something they've been sitting on since Season 3 at least. Good acting by Macy, overall sharp writing. I could have used another 2-3 minutes on the scenes with Fiona and Frank because I felt like just as Emmy starting hitting her groove the scene ended.

That was a great episode and a drat solid season of Shameless. Awesome stuff. I got super teary a couple of times throughout all that.

This show just gets better and better every episode that Joan Cusak is gone.

Just finished Season 5. That season was easily the weakest so far. Too many different stories that barely connected, Fiona going from having a character arc to a zigzag, Frank going to Costa Rica for half the season (seriously, the dying doctor thing wasn't awful but it went some weird places). Oh and Deb is just awful. Hope next season picks things up a bit.

Season 6 is better and Season 7, which just ended, was pretty drat good from start to finish. e: The worst part of S6 is that we're promised Jeffrey Dean Morgan and given Dermot Mulroney.

I finished marathoning the show after someone kept recommending it to me. It was a fun ride.

It's true how the feel of the show has shifted, and I wish they'd veer slightly back towards drama that absurdist comedy situations. I also miss Sheila. It is nice though that other characters have been given space to develop, like carl, who gradually became my favourite character as the show progressed.

BJPaskoff posted:I.[*] Debbie is the true worst character in the show, ignoring Frank who is mostly comic relief, emphasis on the comic at this point. She makes poor decisions and never learns from them, only has an entitlement complex when she's caught and then digs the hole she's in deeper. She's actually the one most likely to wind up like Monica and/or Frank. I feel like the point of the show is how each character is doing their best to break away from the cycle of poverty and bad decisions that runs in their family, while being dragged down by that family, their own questionable morals, and society keeping them down because they're from a poor area. Debbie was the "good girl" in the beginning, so I think that her gradual downfall into someone reprehensible is intentional. Everyone else takes turns being The Worst, but sooner or later they bounce back. Like I said, Debbie started out with nowhere to go but down I HATE Debbie. I mean, I guess that I hate her so much that they've done a good job of making her the perfect example of white-trash "figurin'"/ She's hosed herself FOR LIFE already and she sucks so bad, and does the most annoying and dumbass thing possible at every turn. I want to throw whatever I'm eating at the TV whenever she's on. Maybe that's good writing, to make me despise a television character so much that I feel like I could stand to lose half a taco or a chicken wing. I really enjoyed Fiona trying to do something at all other than marrying every old rear end crackhead in view for two seasons. Someone made a joke earlier about dudes with the same whitey name, but there's a fantastic sketch on SNL about a Dylan McDermott or Dermott Mulroney gameshow, which still makes me laugh my rear end off. Wow! Is there is no version of that on youtube without a horrifying narration that ruins the entire thing. Why would SNL block a good sketch? http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/dylan-mcdermott-or-dermot-mulroney/n30750?snl=1 I think I found one. But it's from NBC, slow as hell, skips a lot and has advertisements. GO NBC!

BJPaskoff posted:Every supporting character introduced from then on is introduced with the knowledge that they're just a plot device to be phased out within a couple of episodes, where the season 1-3 characters had long-lasting presence and felt deeper because there were many plot threads associated with them instead of just one. Svetlana? I agree, Debbie is the worst, and it sucks cause she was one of my favourite characters back in seasons 1 and 2. I loved the idea of youngest (main) kid going about making more money than everyone, running scams and being a genius and then turning into....whatever we have now.

Looten Plunder posted:Svetlana? Oh yeah, I hope we haven't had the last of Svetlana. The betrayal doesn't seem totally in-character, but not out-of-character either, so we'll see what happens in season 8. Maybe her contract was up and they're deciding what to do with the character? I'm going to miss the bar patrons most of all. Not Kermit, but the other guy. I don't think Debbie would be so annoying if the show pointed out how she's fallen so far yet still hasn't hit rock bottom instead of having the Gallagher luck of having the stars align for her. At least when the other characters get bailed out, they realize how much they hosed up.
