You like to make up phrases to dramatize things, don't you? "Emotionally disowning her", let's tone down that hyperbole. I expect to see that in Jezebel or Shakesville, not here.

A shitty fixture of the show that drags it down by a mile with garbage slapstick.

It's not emotional blackmail. If you disagree, you can take up a homeless teenage mother into your own home, pay for her shit, and deal with the reality of being tied down to another child.

Yeah, but she's dragged down by the rest of the show's deficiencies as a result.

They could have trimmed Frank and Karl instead. Useless trainwrecks and easily the worst aspects of the show.

He's basically been on the constant boat of having to seek other roles in other shows because his parts are so small and because of seeking those other parts to supplement his work it creates a feedback loop of not being available in the show the few times the show wants to involve him.

Eh, what Gus did to Fiona wasn't pretty, but I can hardly be sympathetic to a woman who dates a manager who's nothing but kind and available to her (and gets her a job which was shaping up her prospects), and she fucks his addict brother for all the family to find out.

You do realize the Disqus platform allows you to reply without opening the article page and any of its associated ads, right?

Well, yeah. Ideally actors should be paid the same for the same positions and work. Currently that's not how it works, but Anderson was smart enough to leverage her importance to the show to gain higher pay.

Yup, it's how it works, you negotiate for your pay. She did the right thing, good for her.

Damn, you showed me!

Eh, this is basically a recycling of Louie. Unlikeable middle aged slob, used and rejected by women, failing at his bleak life.

What a sensationalist article. Actors are paid according to what their agents can leverage for them.

Yeah, it's too bad these days it's sheltered adults propagating these dumb ideas onto teenage college students, though. It's already bad enough that teenagers stumble on dumb shit on their own, but professors and bloggers adding to that mess is just silly.

I also got a hint of Michael being sensitive to male on male rape and that explaining his reaction to Kevin.

What's there to excuse, victims can be bigoted without having trauma/sexual assault as a reason.

The therapist is THE main step. A group of activists/12 step program is hardly a proven, scientifically backed method to aid rape victims.

What's unseemly about it, a coach sees his players as sons. It's like a schoolteacher with her "children". Why is it odd for a man to care about what's being said about his boys when he's been responsible for their education and growth?

I was curious whether the father was more bothered at the thought of his son committing the rape or that the target had been a boy.

For the sake of putting a rapist in jail and clearing the name of her son and exposing the school for the self-serving institution it is. Rapists don't just stop raping out of a sudden, and more kids will come into that school that might be victimized because nobody raised the alarm that something was wrong with…
