Well, if anything, I think this will be explored with no strings attached next season. There has to be a reason he was not killed off. "Emily" gave us a glimpse into Frank's past.

She's totally unexpected too. I hated her, but now I actually kinda like her. Now I'm just gonna need her to stop threatening Ian and Mickey.

Ah, what a harsh review. For such a mature season, I think this finale needs a bit more respect and admiration. (Especially for a show like Shameless) It's been one hell of a ride, especially the last half of the season. From Fiona's legal troubles, to Frank's health issues, and then the rest of the Gallagher's…

I'm actually kinda glad it wasn't over the top. From the scenes they showed, it seems like we are heading to an even darker territory next season with Ian. The vibes from all those scenes made me really uncomfortable. Another thing I'm glad they did was the fact that Ian's bipolar disorder wasn't that obvious to begin…

Classic fucking Shameless. No matter how much this show evolves, it still slips little things like this here and there that makes it feel like it's still the same show from season 1 while it all feels so different.

Lol, the miracle transplant pissed me off too. I thought it was way too convenient. Plus I hate it when a show dangles a character's life like that and takes it back to safety like "oh, just kidding!"

I'm actually relieved Carl didn't have sex. He's like 13.

So glad I wasn't the only way to catch that and the importance of this statement. Frank's post-whatever the fuck you call it was used way more strategically then I had anticipated. I'm glad they took a more subtle route on showing Frank's past. I've always wondered what makes Frank, Frank.
