You could see where things were going on Sunday's episode. You knew another full train-wreck was coming.

It was poor decision making, and Fiona will have to be responsible for her actions... but you (at-least I) did feel for the lot of them.

Kind of sets up for Lip to leave school, and attempt to help his younger siblings, no? Of course even if he can show income, etc... I would think he would have a hard time maintaining custody.

This is one of the more absurd shows I've ever watched, but I love it.

I love it but it's a train wreck.

I watch, but wouldn't anymore if my girlfriend didn't still want to watch it.  I really enjoyed the first season, but it's been going downhill, or at least my interest in it has.  Can't pinpoint exactly what I don't like about it.  I don't hate it, and it has it's funny moments.  I guess my problem is I'm not terribly invested in any of the characters, and it's not consistently funny enough to get too into if you aren't interested in the drama the characters are going through.

 

I really like Kev & Veronica, but I don't particularly care about any of the Gallaghers.  I do think that Emmy Rossum is a good actress, though, and obviously is a total babe.

Sometimes the over the top stuff makes it feel cartoonish... but when the show sticks to the core of family, dealing with dysfunction etc.. it can be really good.

The scenes with Fiona and Lip in the last few shows were strong I think.

Just finished watching this. My fiance is watching the first season now and Ive caught a couple of the early episodes again. Was definitely a lot more funny early on. I think its just becoming very real in the last season. I pretty much agree with Mack that some of the characters are getting less likable. Lip is great though.

Personally, I'd rather Jimmy just not come back.

Season 5 kicking off tonight.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Still watching. The 1 step forward, 2 steps back routine gets old.

It was pretty easy to figure out when and how Jimmy would come back...again...

The characters are getting spread out too thin. I swear every week im like "who is home watching Liam"?

The scene last week where Lip and Fiona bonded was pretty strong and there isn't enough of that anymore. Everyone is doing their own thing and everyone is becoming their own train wreck. They need to come together as a family again and deal with one train wreck at a time rather then having 6 train wrecks going on at once...if that makes any sense.

[Pedro Cerrano]

This is still one of my favorite shows.

 

The scene where Kevin gets pepper-sprayed in the park was so funny I had to pause my DVR.

Does anyone think Frank is slowly turning into a competent human being? I mean, last week there was the scene where he left the bar without touching his beer, and the camera made it a point to show you that. This week he makes the comment about not wanting to, whatever he said "slice up his new liver". Sipped on that bourbon a couple times but was still sober.

Right up until he hit that crack pipe I felt that way, when he suggested weed instead of crack to Bianca.

I feel like the way its going hes going to come out the hero in someway, being the one who gets Ian back and winning back a little respect from the family. While Fiona has lost all respect and cant just come home for one night to see how in disarray everyone and everything is.

[Pedro Cerrano]

I am loving this Frank/Bianca storyline. It's tremendous.

[Pedro Cerrano]

No, not ready to call him a decent human yet.

Me too. Much more enjoyable than anything Fiona is doing. Her's is the least likable storyline of them all. Lip's is a fun one too.

Im definitely not ready to call Frank decent, but hes trending that way. At least more decent then he has been.

I feel like there is a lot to tie up in just one more episode for the season.

[Mike in STL]

Looks like everyone is coming home. At least in the wrap up. Lip and Ian hanging out again. Frank is back. Kev and V seem better. Fiona realizing the family went to hell without her around.

Hopefully it was a sign that the show will get back to its roots because this was probably my least favorite season.

[Mike in STL]

It's back tonight. Hoping it gets back to its roots. The every single character being an absolute train wreck didnt work so well last season.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Seriously Frank?

Lip's fall has been tough...  saw that coming for Ian, but that also sucked.
