What? If he actually dropped out it would have been a way bigger deal. Unfortunately kids get sent to the hospital for alcohol poisoning all the time, it's not something that gets you kicked out of school or makes you want to drop out. He's a busride away from home and I'm assuming it's the weekend.

He might be done with the sorority and looking for a place to crash. He's also likely hurting from the $2000 medical bill and might be looking to scam some money (not off his family, just in the neighborhood).

GobiasIndustries posted:I got the opposite feeling honestly, it seemed like she was more of a one-off thing...I think Lip might not get a happy ending here. His reaction to the girl calling an ambulance for him wasn't what you'd hope for re: admitting he's got a drinking problem. Since he doesn't have a car with which to get into a drunk accident, there doesn't seem to be much else he could do that'd wake him up to the fact that he's got a serious problem apart from getting kicked out of school which'd probably just spiral him deeper. I'm frank(heh)ly tired of seeing Lip have everything handed to him and doing no wrong. I want him to majorly gently caress up, or else do something remotely interesting besides bewitching co-eds with his Magical Dick.

I'm surprised Lip's school doesn't require him to have health insurance.

nooneofconsequence posted:I'm surprised Lip's school doesn't require him to have health insurance. They would. Full time students are all required to have insurance (although technically, isn't everyone in the US required to have coverage or pay a fine now?). At a lot of large schools, including the real U Chicago, students are automatically insured and charged for coverage as part of their fees. To opt out you have to show proof that you are already insured. Lip is a scholarship student and the cost would be included in his annual budget when determining financial aid. He'd have a copay for the ambulance and treatment, not a 2k bill. I'm being nitpicky, but this is actually an interesting difference between how he grew up (where medical care was something to be feared because no one can pay for it) and being in college (where he has a safety net provided by his student status). They could make something out of that contrast. A lot of things that the show elides, skips, or forgets about are actually things that could work to their advantage with a little effort.

Awww  these recent episodes have realized what is best about the show - the Gallaghers interacting with eachother without fighting eachother, and that is great.

I mean, I was definitely very  about Sean and Fiona, but did anyone think it seemed a little too unrealistic? He might still lose custody of his kid because of her and seemed super pissed, and now he goes and proposes and spends $4k on her? The Gallaghers, maybe Debbie aside, have some ridiculous luck. Frank gets a new liver for free, and basically is impervious to death and can dodge bullets like a super hero? Fiona hasn't lost the house, or her boyfriend/fiancé, or the kids, or her mind Lip has a magic golden dick/brain Ian isn't as lucky as the rest, but he did get out of crashing an army helicopter with a slap on the wrist Carl escaped life as a gun/drug dealer slave, found the girl of his dreams who banged him before they even had a first date Liam isn't brain dead from snorting a mountain of coke at like 4 years old I know, I know, suspension of disbelief blah blah, but the crazy has been cranked up a little this season. At the end of the day, I agree that this show is best when the Gallaghers (and both Milkoviches, V + Kev + Svetlana) are all working together against outside obstacles rather than fighting each other.

The others I will agree are getting a little out of hand but the beginning scene with Frank running from the shooters reminded me of the "drive-by" scene from The Wire, although I'm on my phone and can't post it. Anyone able to do the needful?

It doesn't take superhuman powers to run from Mac 10 fire, those things are probably inaccurate as hell. Plus, you know, plot armor in a comedy-drama show. Frank's not going to get shot down in a hail of gunfire and die in the first ten minutes of an episode.

Is Lip in his third semester? He had a bad first at-least-half of his first semester, and while I've had professors who would do things like make your final exam grade be your final grade if it was higher than your earlier ones, GPAs are generally way easier to bring down than up. I probably shouldn't be worrying too much about the logic of this.

Lip's carrying a B and a C from his first semester so I don't know why they needed to make up another story about him being uber smart but drat those tenured professor's  to justify a gpa which he probably wouldn't be able to reach anyway.

The only person in the credits not in the cast currently is Jimmy and we don't see anything but his naked rear end so it could literally be anybody's naked rear end. But yeah Ian, Debbie and especially Liam are a lot different now that they've grown up. And Kevin hasn't had hair in a few seasons now. Xoidanor posted:Yeah honest to god, finally! He'll stick his magical dick in the English professor again and get a full pardon without having to get involved in rehab, and every sorority girl will throw themselves pussy-first at him while he works on the novel that will get him tenure.

oh good, Debbie had the baby (why not go with Francine if you're going for a female sounding name similar to Frank) finally. Glad Lip is "facing reality" as it were but I find it hilarious that he threw the paper in his prof's face because that poo poo is pretty normal in academics or, really, anywhere in the world.

That's how a lot of alcoholics/addicts act, it's unfortunately real of him to lash out at everyone no matter what. Denial's a bitch.

Good episode. The strip club scene was great, I like Carl wanting to be a cop now, and hopefully the commune poo poo is over save for whatever happens after the opium farm shootout. I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this but I really like the opening recap of the previous episode, where the characters insult and cuss out the viewer (though this episode's bit weak). It makes feel like a part of their neighborhood! Why yes, I am a shitheel for missing an episode. Super Aggro Crag posted:God drat Veronica is so hot. Yeah she is.

I've been thinking I was sure I'd seen Carl express his desire to be a cop before and them handling this in an episode until I realized I was confusing him with fellow sitcom psychopath Shane from Weeds.

I hope Carl doesn't become a Herc or a Colicchio when he becomes a cop and instead tries to be more of a Sydnor or Carver  Maybe he could be a McNulty, the Gallaghers are already a hosed up bunch at all levels

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 still enjoy the characters and the acting but haven't been enjoying the season too much. The "Gallaghers get close to happiness and then gently caress it up" has become too repetitive over the course of the show, especially as the writers seem committed to a Seinfeld-like "no learning" policy so that stuff happens, characters go through ordeals, and then stuff reverses and brings characters back to square one.
