I never got the impression from Ian nor Mickey that they changed it up. Mickey said in response to being 'last night's bottom', "Liking what I like don't make me a bitch." He liked being on bottom, Ian on top. I can't imagine they switched their preferences. Now, that's not to say they didn't with others, but I…

Even their hetero sex scenes are unrealistic. In what world, do all these women orgasm vaginally via intercourse? That doesn't happen and damn straight that doesn't happen without foreplay.

What we saw on screen though was always Mickey bending over.
Ian did the porno without a condom. He put himself at risk and that was why Mickey knew Ian needed help.

I doubt there's brunch because of the nature of his return, but I can be hopeful.

I'm sure no one wants to hear another person bemoan Gallavich, but seeing those breakfast scenes with Ian and Trevor made me so sad that Ian and Mickey won't get those moments. I want to see Mickey at brunch!

Debbie is truly misguided. I also find it interesting how much like Frank she is — how much effort and time she'll invest in a scheme rather than say, get a job and figure out child care.

"Transgender sex work within the framework of the hustler/client relationship."
Gotta card?

One of the aspects I found interesting was that Fiona seemed to be empowering the girls who work for her, but she wasn't able to do the same for Debbie. But as Debbie admitted, she would not take orders from Fiona if she worked at the diner. If Fiona guided Debbie, even a little, Debbie could be in a better position,…

"Ian and Mickey’s relative isolation (which Ian mentions here, noting they were “home bodies”' — I thought Ian was referring to Caleb when he said 'home bodies' because he also included something about fancy restaurants and snooty friends, which is definitely not Mickey territory.

Okay. That makes sense.

How did you binge watch it? Only the first episode is available for streaming on USA's site. I'm DVRing the season.

There are a lot of issues I have with Ian's character development over S6 & S7, but his EMT job happens to be my favorite aspect. I like that he's found something that suits him. I do agree that the writers could've spent more time focusing on Ian achieving this milestone rather than his relationship with Caleb. But…

Can we just give Carl's urologist some props? I love that character. Forget being a cop, Carl should become a doctor!

A little tidbit about Ian getting his GED — I taught a GED prep class. It's not an easy test to take for many students, but usually those who struggled the most were the ones who left school either performing severely below grade level or decades ago and forgot the basics. Based on Ian's level of intelligence and his…

Although I'm entertained by this new season, I'm having a hard time watching the show without thinking about the writers' motivations or reasonings behind various story lines and character actions. And the minute I think about the writer(s), in either a book or TV show, I'm taken out of the story. And that's a bummer.

Yeah, they never show anyone using condoms except for Carl.

I sincerely doubt this. Also, it's a crazy assumption.

Did anyone pick up how talented Kev is at graffiti art? He's full of surprises.

I wasn't stateside when it was released but I had never heard it locally (NYC metro) when I came home that summer. After reading the comments, I just played it again and you're right — that crash at the end is the best part.

Zooropa is my favorite album but it's "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" off of the Million Dollar Hotel Soundtrack that always gives me chills. It came out in 2000 when I was in Europe (the U.S. never played the song on the radio). I asked for the CD for my birthday and my mom had to hunt it down online (in 2000!) to get…
