Wow, quite an episode. As much as the show made you hate Eddie over the course of the season, he didn't deserve the end he arranged for himself. I've never understood suicide, but of all the ways to pick, Eddie's has to be among the worst. Freezing and drowning is not way to go. The whole time I...

My apologies. I didn't consider it a spoiler since the stuff with Frank/Karen in both versions is past-tense from where we are in the story. I'll be more careful in the future.

Interesting that they brought things to a head with Steve so quickly. Is Justin Chatwin going to leave the show after one season? If so, they'll have to take a whole different direction with Fiona next season. I love Debbie's foul mouth. She's probably the sweetest of the characters, so it's...

Yeah, as soon as you realize she's not just manipulating her father for the car, it goes from being funny to extremely sad. It not only makes you hate her father with the vengeance she hates him with, but really made me hope they don't go down the path of having Frank have an affair with...

More than just the adult of the house -- the parent of the house. Biologically speaking, Liam is her half-brother. But for all intents and purposes, Liam is her son. And so is Carl. And Debbie's basically her daughter. Her relationship with Lip and Ian is more complex, since they're closer to...

If Emmy Rossum doesn't win an Emmy for yesterday's episode, they should just stop handing them out.

Good news: Renewed for Season Two

Inteview with William H. Macy about the show It's strongly hinted that he's the reason they didn't pursue the Frank having an affair with Lip's underage girlfriend story line. Which frankly, I'm just as happy about. EDIT: Warning, there is one pretty large spoiler from an as yet unaired...

What I liked about this episode is that it showcased where the kids' intelligence comes from; when sober, Frank's a pretty brilliant guy. The flip side of that is that seeing him as a piano player and all of these other talents really made me angry when Fiona walked out of the PowerPoint class...

I agree with Scott. It was thanks for the good advice. Just when you think things can't get any more deplorable, they do. If characters on just about any other show I watch did any of the things these characters do, I'd turn it off in disgust. Maybe because the pilot set the bar very low for...

"Have you ever been with a black man?" "Does rape count?" Sometimes I can't believe the exchanges this show comes up with. It was nice to see the SAT investigator's treatment of Lip, perhaps the first undamaged, responsible adult we've seen yet on this show. While he was incredulous at first...

"Here's what you missed on Shameless last week: I got really drunk and... I'm not sure what happened after that." This episode had some real howlers, especially everything involving Frank's apparent third testicle.

I loved the camaraderie between Frank and Joan Cusack's onscreen husband. It's such a surreal and ridiculous situation, but the husband is just sort of happy to have Frank tell him, yes, your family is bat shit crazy. Meanwhile, Karen is courting trouble with Frank, and Frank's trying very...

Three episodes in, and three episodes where Debbie broke my heart. With none of the children is it more apparent the damage wrought by Frank and the missing mother than with Debbie. Fiona, Lip and Ian have all buried it in a much deeper place. The cop story line is fascinating. Clearly...

Poor Debbie. She's still hoping Frank will be the kind of father he'll never be. Part of the joy of this show is that Frank and his five kids (not counting the youngest, who isn't really his and isn't old enough to be judged in this way) are all smart people. The introspection gives the hijinks...
