Nah, see my reply to Pau above :)

No, it wasn't the same thing. At that point in time Fiona is pretty traumatized by her realization of pregnancy and already victimized by Sean's earlier behaviours. She also recognizes the fucked up nature of her actions (and hopefully the relationship) as evidenced by the pained looked on her face post-orgasm. Sean,…

what if she stuck in a pregnancy test into her pee? she was checking for pre-existing conditions and we didn't see everything she did.

How does Carl's arc not end in a school shooting? I'm kind of mixed on his character because I have no idea if I trust this show enough to handle the gravity of that situation, but it's going to happen if only by Chekhov's rule: introduce a gun into the first act of the season and it must be used by the third.

Exactly. Those are the same thoughts I had. I know I've been in situations where I was talking with a guy in bed, in a heightened emotional state about serious issues and had him pull those same rapey shenanigans…and I just remember how crushed I was after. I can't view that scene in any other way. I have no idea what…

Yeah, if anyone tells me to shut up while I'm talking about serious life issues in bed just cos they're horny—-and especially if they did what boss dude did to Fiona—they're getting punched in the face and broken up with. OMG I hate that so much. That's so disrespectful, borderline rapey and harbinger of bad shit to…

Still not as awesome of a scandal as the Red Ranger doing gay sex, post-steroids binge.

Is regression a sign of autism? Genuinely curious about that. I teach children in an international school system where severely autistic children are thrown in with the rest. But I definitely could be missing subtler signs of it. I'm curious to know why you think Charlie's behaviour is indicative of being on the…

This Charlie storyline is indicative of my central complaint about the series. I'm sorry, but if your child is regressing to pacifiers and wetting the bed because his dad's Hollywood and super sweet girlfriend is having a baby then you have some real #rich1stworldproblems. When I was eight I and all my friends lived…

She's going on maternity leave in a few episodes and will be replaced by Megan Fox for a bit.

That cat is calm as fuck. He inspires me to be a lazier cat more than Nick ever has. Meow.

Jess: "So Fred's not shy, he just sucks. When I asked him what his favorite hobby is, he said towels. I've got to break up with that human pile of saltine dust."

I think the implication is that he's getting his babies used to Southside noise levels or that they are already used to it.

And what was worse was that it was definitely implied that the lesbian couple would be listening or paying attention to what was going on outside. So basically you had to imagine them in their home, with potential children (I don't know if they have children or not), hearing direct rape threats against them. Not good.

yeah those rape threats were seriously disturbing. i know from being gay that's what people say to you, but i did not expect to hear them here so blatantly.

I felt like last season was a bit amorphous and this season seems right on track to be as well. I wish they'd capitalized on the thematic structure of Season 4, utilizing some grand systemic problem that they want to look at address and delve deeply into it.

yeah, you're right. my mistake. i had this odd assumption that AMC cared about critical acclaim a bit more than other networks, but that doesn't appear to be true.

No she was about to come to stay with Christy again and then she called from outside, got great advice and then went back to him. The ending of that episode was devastating because it was Christy's selflessness that prevented a full on daughter reconciliation.

I'm really glad that fling is over. Something about the lawyer really skeevs me out. He seems like such a sad sack. Or maybe its cos I hate long hair. Or both + more. He's just gross for some reason, there.

True. But didn't someone at the network fill them in on all the distaste for the series and/or aren't they aware of the dread that people had of S2 being Herschel's boat? I can't imagine that AMC is that tone deaf to market research.
