*EARLY* (FULL/UNCUT) Shameless 4x09 REACTION - "The Legend of Bonnie & Carl"

When you started the episode talking about how optimistic things were seeming for Fiona, I was like 'oh...oh no, oh no no no' because yeah.... wait til next episode, things are not going to look up for her for a little while yet. As always I enjoy the hell out of your Shameless commentary and watching you slowly realise Fiona was not going to be getting a break yet was morbidly entertaining. Yeah, Mike's sister isn't wrong from where she's standing. You can't blame her for protecting her family, any of the Gallaghers would do the same for their siblings so you really can't be mad at her. I was happy to hear you say the same thing. Mickey, poor Mick, he is really going through it right now. I know a lot of people like Svetlana but I don't and nobody will change my mind. She does a lot of shitty things. But on the other hand, I also do understand her a little--she's just trying to survive. I wish she'd go away and find somewhere else to survive and stop trying to use Mickey to do it, but I do also understand her. Doesn't mean I like her though. I feel the most sad for poor Yevgeny (which is the baby's name, I think you missed it since you asked Svet to say it again?). Pronounced yev-gen-yah, though most of the characters pronounce it yev-gen-ee because it's Russian and difficult to pronounce. Yev didn't ask to be born into this shit show. But I don't blame Mickey for wanting nothing to do with him. ALL of this is Terry's fault and I DESPISE him. He is the worst person on the show, not a single character is a worse human being than Terry Milkovich. Amanda is my favourite of Lip's love interests in the show, I think she's hilarious and her determination to piss her parents off by dating Lip is one of my favourite parts of the latter part of this season. Thank you for another wonderful commentary! Looking forward to the next :)
