It’s an Afflection all right!

Depends on your definition of animals. If you mean “degenerates on the south side of Chicago” or “men’s anuses” then the answer is yes. If you mean cats and shit, nah.

That, my friend is an Affliction.

I recently finished binging the whole series.

This also makes it sound like affliction, so yes.

At least until you grow up and realize that playing games with anyone you actually want to keep around is bullshit of the highest pile.

Agreed. I also hate the way Nick talks. I wish they’d return to “Fantasy Bachelors” ie, Prince, Rich Guy, Pilot, Doctor, whatever. Not “Former loser on the show”. But I guess the producers are proven right - put someone artificially in the role of “Desirable guy” and women will claw each others eyes out to get him.

Thank youuu. I am so confused by people saying Luke’s hot. In what fucking world?

I kind of can’t stand Lip, but I agree with you 100% on Sheila. Joan Cusack plays her so well that I started worrying about Joan Cusack’s mental health.

My standard go to: “Who am I? I’m the guy that did his job. You must be the other guy.”

I went to high school with her! She hasn’t changed since high school. (not sure if that’s a good or bad thing...)

But did you guys know Liz slept with Nick at Jade and Tanner’s wedding and she was the Maid of Honor? DID YOU?

I just binge watched a bunch of Shameless , and Fiona is the central character. She is the closest thing to consistent and stable. But the show isn’t about consistency or stability - it’s about the lunatics that cycle in and out of the Gallagher galaxy hurling hand grenades of batshit crazy.

I’m just glad Liz is gone. The trying to be mysterious because she’s from his past got old in episode one. And like he said, if she wanted him why didn’t she ask Jade for his number instead of putting herself through the ridiculousness of competing with 29 other women he might like better?

Mickey quickly became my favorite character around season 4-5(?)

Yeah the Frank stuff was funny at first then it kinda became sad, to be honest... I kinda hate him (but love William H Macy). Also I haven’t seen anything after season 4.

I’m near the end of season 3 & loving this show. I want to binge, but I also want to savor it.

She asked for more money than Macy, they countered with equal pay, she accepted. He acknowledges she was justified to ask for more $, I can’t get upset that Showtime made a counter offer that was lower than her number, that’s how a negotiation works. If she was not willing to do the show for equal pay with Macy, she…

He was pretty great in The Departed. “Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go fuck yourself.” is one of my still standard replies.

Liz was completely delusional. She had a one night stand with him and seriously thought he would want to rekindle things because she declined giving him her number? Ok champ
