This is Jimmy's primary concern. You're a saint, Jimmy.

Hey, I'm the shrewd commenter mentioned above!  I'm famous!
As far as the "rape" question. Yes, in the real world, that absolutely was rape. But in the Shameless-world, I don't think it even breaks the top ten of the most objectionable things we've seen on the show. I think they did enough to set it up even in this…

Rest assured, you are really awesome and way too cool for Glee.

My guilty pleasure, ironically, is Glee. And I'll never tell a soul.

I applaud Glee for handling the Blaine/Sam crush right. A good way to atone for the creepy mess that was the Kurt/Finn crush in season one.

That would be the only scenario where I could forgive Mickey's actions this week and still root for them as a couple, so I hope you're right. However, given that Mandy just permanently ruined any chance of a relationship with Lip, I think the parallel has been set up with Mickey also ruining any chance of a…

@avclub-0cf557b64b3fc71dc03c812abfbcdecb:disqus Okay, well. I guess I didn't really think of that as being "raped". It's a bit different than a woman being forced into sex in a situation like that. At no point did Mickey fear for his safety or life from that girl. I don't think that's the traumatic part, for Mickey.…

Yeah, I think they've established in the past that Frank is very intelligent and just never did anything with it. Kind of like a possible grim future version of Lip.

It's an automatic flagging. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) computers are not yet self-aware enough to comprehend context.

That's what it seemed like to me, which was really weird. A) Gay guys in general aren't attracted to someone who looks like Frank. B) Gay guys in general don't line up to *pay* to blow anyone, let alone someone who looks like Frank. 
Oh and also, C) just how many times can Frank…uh, perform to completion in one…

Not me. I wasn't sad for her or anything, but those bastard writers had to go and give us a tender moment with Sheila right before. I was mostly sad for Sheila, and even sadder that the culprit was Mandy, which has effectively killed her relationship with Lip once he figures it out.

Looks like Frank's story is going to be a gay version of "Citizen Ruth", which was about a desperate drugged-out loser caught between the Christian right and the political activist left on the abortion issue. Kind of awesomely timed too, since Illinois is currently working on passing marriage equality. It might even…

Mickey was raped?

I know, right?  What a gutpunch. Karen's a hateful bitch but at least she's not an (attempted??) murderer.

Agreed. This episode was an "A" for me, as has been most of this season, which I believe is the series' best so far. I really love this show.
And the Gallaghers need to run far, far away from the Milkoviches. Both Mandy and Mickey are very bad for our boys, but it's funny and a testament to the writing on the show how…

I thought it was quite possible Andrea would die. The show has not been shy about killing main characters, and not only in season finales.

Yeah, plus they had Oscar breaking the fourth wall with the "Dwight has a brother?" stuff. Reminds me of when Ted Danson guested on Frasier and told Martin that Frasier said he was dead and told Niles that he said he was an only child, and Frasier mumbled something about lying because he was angry at them.

I'm just gonna say it: this is the best season of Glee. True, the pilot was probably the best episode, but the show as it is now is funny as hell, has great songs, and has figured out a good balance between schmaltz and cynicism. Finally, the stories drive the episodes instead of just being segues between songs, and…

Emma didn't kiss Finn back. She did nothing wrong, and throwing Finn under the bus would just be spiteful.

There are literally five dozen things on this show more unrealistic than Brody being a hetero-only gigolo.
