xcore posted:- Would they do something awful with V and Kev like showing V not to be cut out for motherhood and accidently dropping/poisoning/burning one of her kids? I thought they were going this route but I'm hoping they just have a slight role reversal, V spends more time at The Alibi and makes it more profitable because she's a hardass and Kev just keeps being Kev  The highlights of the episode were anything with Kev and V and their twins and with V realising that Kev is a better "mom" I hope they just take it to the logical conclusion that Kev is just better with babies than she is, it's not like that's a terrible thing

I'm excited to see Mickey's continued development this season. He came out of nowhere to become one of my favorites last year, and beating up the dry cleaner and shouting "MRS. PATEL. COULD YOU PLEASE JERK YOUR HUSBAND OFF ONCE IN A WHILE?" was my favorite moment of this episode.

xcore posted:So can we get some predictions of how things are going to turn to poo poo next season? It's all pretty obvious I guess but I want to talk about this show. I think Frank's brother/cousin or someone owns the house since the Aunt or whoever officially died. Emmy Rossum did tease in a interview that someone is going to be preggers this season. Also you are right about Ian  5X06 SynopsisFiona is thrown in to chaos by the return of Jimmy/Jack/Steve, but she must deal with an even larger crises first as Ian, in a full psychotic break, steals Mickey and Svetlana’s baby, Yevgeny, and takes him along on a road trip. Also Fiona gets married for some weird reason in the previous episode D: poo poo

Kinda hoping it's Lip's new girlfriend this season just cause i like the actress and it'd be nice to see her in more than a few eps, but at the same time... My money is on the crazy not-quite-gallagher, though. A peripheral-ish character...Fi strikes me as the type that has had enough with kids until she's good and ready, but at the same time.... if the marriage thing is true, then... Comedy option (actually would probably be the serious sub-plot to the comedy) would be Debbie. e: the rest of this season looks hella good so far from the episode synopses posted on spoilertv. Kev and V get to do a whole bunch of fun poo poo this season. e2: just getting around to watching the new ep and just paid enough attention to the credits to catch...does carl just powerslam the mouth wash? e3: sheila talking about the realtor coming by and just completely soaking sammi is so far the best scene so far.

I loved that they went nonviolent with their solution to the Westboro Baptist problem, that was some fantastic poo poo. Especially since if they had gotten violent, it would have backfired. The whole thing with WBC is they try to bait people into assaulting them so they can sue the poo poo out of them. Nonviolent, simple, and classically Ian/Mickey. This episode was awesome in general. Sheila vs. Sammi is perfect. I loved the entire donor party scene. QuickbreathFinisher fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Jan 19, 2015 |

Mickey straight up goes "why the hell we going?" while Ian's getting dressed. Willing to bet something got cut that was a quick throwaway line that set up how Ian knew about the funeral in the first place though. hell, even a newspaper headline would do it, or show him browsing facebook real fast and come across a reblog or something.

I know he was Ian's brother in arms, but I thought that the military was actively looking for Ian and I don't think that they'd go "Oh hey, there you are, glad you could make it" if they discovered Ian was there. (Note: I have very little understanding of how military conduct works, so correct me if I'm wrong._ Or did I miss the Gallaghers solving that plot thread?

They did not solve that little problem of being AWOL. Last I remember were the MPs that tracked down Lip but took his word for it that he didn't recognize Ian in a photo. After that it's just been hanging. Svetlana is really great now that they've given her some depth. Ever since her "this is America, Burger King, McDonald's on the same block" speech last season she's been very entertaining.

I've come to the realization that all my favorite characters are outside the main Gallagher family: Mickey; Kevin and Veronica; Sheila, Sammi, and Chuckie; and now Svetlana. And I'm okay with that. I am glad that they're not going for the "Fiona fucks her boss" storyline again. So far, at least.

Diabolik900 posted:Mickey did say something to the effect of "can you at least not where the uniform since every MP is looking for you?" Yeah, this. I got the impression that Ian knew he was going to get glossed over and that the number of MPs there were A) unlikely to arrest a fellow soldier at a funeral (still dumb, but not that dumb) and B) unlikely to know who he is. He's still wanted, but he figured he could get away with it. And he did. I definitely think that Kev looks way way better with the shaved head. I get why V is pissed that he cut it, but he looks so much better its ridiculous. Svetlana is quickly rising on my "oh my god i love her" list. the "I rent uterus like youth hostel" line had me waking up the roommates i was laughing so hard. And Mickey is definitely way smarter than he lets on. He knew that Ian's wanted, and wanted to go the nonviolent route since he knew it would get them nowhere but in deep poo poo.

It's strange that Ian's bipolar disorder allows for him (and thus the audience) to be able to just ignore such glaring plotholes like that, with him being so reckless this season. I could see the MPs coming back in a few episodes, the writers usually know what they're doing. liltimshady posted:The bit on the priest was epic. A bit of the Gallaghers is rubbing off on Mickey.

While the Gallaghers definitely had an influence, I think that working with Kev in the pimp business actually taught him to keep a cool, logical train of thought.

Even her hardass treatment last season to bring Mickey in to line was gold (and also a big part of Mickey's character developing). The only thing that makes me unsure about liking her is the whole "Russian whore stereotype" thing. Maybe they do all act like that, but I can't help but feel I'm falling for cheap laughs from a racist sterotype doing broad comedy. FireWorksWell posted:Okay, I missed that line.

I too, know nothing about military procedure, but surely there are not that many MP's and surely an organisation like is so full of red tape bullshit that Ian has now just fallen through the cracks. They looked for him, didn't find him, crossed him off the list and moved on with their lives.

Svetlana is reminding me of Cici's Russian model friend in New Girl. She comes from a completely different culture and she's pretty loose with talking about what she talks about. It's not really an issue because it leads to great lines like the uterus one

I get the impression that Svetlana is pretty smart or clever in her own way though, so I mean she gets a couple of laughs in certainly, but I don't think they play her for laughs anymore. Mickey's weird family is growing on me.

Svetlana is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters; I hope we see a lot of her this season. Also, can we just give All The Awards to Emmy Rossum and Joan Cusack? Joan is loving magic. At first I hated Sammi but seeing her and Sheila play off of each other is fabulous. Chuckie owns, too.

Mickey's kind of always been the clever, cool-headed criminal, but he's really come into his own since becoming a pimp and father and finally coming out. He's street-smart, to the point where I could see him becoming some kind of minor crime kingpin. He already has a gang of guys at his beck and call who'll go bust heads or kill somebody if Mickey asks.

This right here is one of the reasons why I want to see how long they'll keep Shameless running. In the show's beginning the show was presented through different points of view. We saw how Frank and the three elder Gallaghers lived an average day, with Jimmy/Steve and Kev and Veronica giving us side stories. A few episodes later, Sheila and Karen's lives were shown more often. Presently, we now have the Milkovich family and Svetlana, Sammi, Carl and Debbie; all of these characters are given more life in our eyes through ambitions and backstories. We get new plot threads with more potential, and Mickey becoming a minor/major crime lord sounds like a really great plot. I really hope we start getting scenes from Tommy's point of view.

it's things like that that I enjoy that these episodes are 50 minutes long instead of 42, those extra 8 minutes allow for more breathing room with a bigger cast. Now if only we had more than 11 episodes a season, what with having more people and more stories to cover. I find it funny that Lip, having gone a whole year of having a legit job at College with his work study (or whatever it was called) is now surprised that he, a no-qualifications labourer, can't drive a forklift and has his cellphone confiscated because he answered a text IN FRONT OF HIS BOSS. That and he didn't bring gloves to work, I felt no sympathy for his disposition at the end of a hard day because he brought aaaaaaallllllllll of that on himself. But then I've never been a fan of Lip so I'll admit I relished watching him get taken down some pegs. But speaking of other characters will Fiona actually get in deep poo poo for taking her monitor off by herself? Sure in her mind her time was done but according to the government her time is done when an official person removes her bracelet and Fiona fills out some forms. Over/under that next week she is faced with a breach of probation or something similar?

kinda depends on how nice the company you're working for is. It's usually a range from "gently caress you, buy your own poo poo" to "we'll pay for all of your certificates on top of your PPE". Based off of how Lip's interview went it's pretty obvious where his employer lies on that scale

As someone who was on a different model ankle monitor - once you pop em off, they're not that hard to pop back in. So presumably she pops it back on and walks into the probation office the next day. There's a chance that she'd get busted for the monitor obviously staying in one place if its a GPS one. I really hope they wind up going somewhere with these visual metaphors of Frank as Jesus they've been teasing with. The laid out on the table naked end of last episode, him standing in the sun at the end of this episode, i can't help but think they're doing something with it.
