I like Seth.

It's a little ridiculous that he ever made it to president, isn't it? His earnestness doesn't match the ruthlessness EVERY. OTHER. CHARACTER has displayed on this show.

This felt like a season written with season 3 in mind, which is to say that people were being placed in specific roles for stories to come. (the white house, jail, on the lam, etc.)

It was an entertaining scene, sure, but I'm not seeing it as the "amazing display of characterization for Shosh" that others are claiming, using evidence that's just not there. It didn't illuminate her character in any real way—it wasn't earned from her perspective. Shoshanna did the calling out because there are only…

I'm clearly in the minority here but Shoshanna drunk or sober remains the most obnoxious character on this show—which says a lot.

I was like 12 but vividly recall Swingtown having a hot teacher. That's really all I remember. A really, stupidly, please-molest-me-please-molest-me teacher.

That theme song is thoroughly unironically enjoyed whenever it comes on shuffle.

UNDERGRADS was better than CLONE HIGH.

'Precious, The TV Show'? That's your ideal pilot then?

Yeah, seriously….

I would love that. For now, I'd say Ian has more inherited the underwritten syndrome. Aside from ARMY and MICKEY there isn't much to his character.

Yup. Agreed on every point.

I think it's the EXACT opposite.

No one fucking unravels like the Gallaghers. It's almost a thing of beauty.

Yeah, they've always been the two unspoken guardians of the family. One's the genius who was going to get the out of the ghetto and the other one the reliable one who will always make sure stomachs are full and no one's in jail.

These sites address an angry, mentally-unstable audience and they absolutely know it.

Him and Derrick, duh.

"Who taught you how to punch? Your husband?"

No it was definitely the cocaine; it was said in the Reed interview. She gains it back when she replaces the cocaine with pure sugar.

Really? She's still there basically every other episode.
