I think HBO and Showtime got together to form a double whammy of awesome to completely blow my mind, with the Shameless season finale and Game of Thrones season premiere.  Congratulations because you succeed!  This season finale was a fantastic way to end such a roller coaster season, complete with a pretty shocking ending.  My favorite thing about this […]

Fact: Noel Fisher is a gift!  He was clearly the star of this episode, and while Gallavich isn’t my favorite couple (Veronica boinking Kev with the strap-on in the series premiere pretty much sealed the deal there), I am all too willing to gush and analyze this couple’s interactions to pieces!  I’m really impressed with […]

This show is going to kill me!  Fiona went off the deep end, but this crisis seemed to bring everyone together by showing how much Fiona means to them.  Frank seems to have luck coming out of his ears when a deadly situation turns in his favor.  Kev and Veronica had their baby girls without […]

Remember those strong emotions I talked about last week?  They still apply this week.  Fiona and Kev really hit it out of the park this week, as both of them made me choke up at different times during the episode.  Many Gallavich fans may be rejoicing, but I can’t help but feel disappointment and disgust […]

The one thing I’ve always loved about Shameless is the show’s ability to invoke strong emotions in me.  This week’s episode made me feel exasperation and disgust.  Things seem to be stabilizing a bit in the Gallagher household, but Fiona and Lip’s relationship has sustained permanent damage.  Gallavich shippers can rejoice in the brief reunion […]

This week’s episode was a lot less traumatic, but it still really put me through the ringer.  Kev surprisingly got on my nerves in this episode, but we’ll get into that later.  But my “Give Emmy an Emmy” campaign starts right now because she did an amazing job in this episode.  Jeremy Allen White deserves […]

I really hated being right.  That calm before the storm that I talked about last week?  I knew it was coming, but I didn’t think it would happen as fast or as hard as it did.  I got sucked into homework and missed the episode, but when I heard what happened…I actually dreaded watching it.  […]

Now that’s what I’m talking about!  I loved this week’s episode of Shameless.  The past couple episodes have ended with me bummed out about the prospects of some of my favorite characters, but this episode had me bouncing a bit.  I wanted to kiss Kevin for putting a boot up Lip’s ass, and I was […]

This week’s episode showed that sometimes you can be your own worst enemy.  I loved the interesting contrast between Fiona and Mike as to how different social classes will deal with issues like addiction, especially when the addict in question is family.  There were some funny moments, but the moments that really stuck with me […]

This week’s episode finds the Gallaghers drifting further apart, which is never a good thing.  This family works best when they communicate and work together.  Take that away and things start to crumble very quickly.  If this episode is any indication as to how things will progress this season, it’s going to be a rough […]
