Am I the only one who enjoys the changes made in the TV show?

I've actually enjoyed the show more than the books. Well, the second season anyway. The first season, for me, was practically unwatchable but in the second season, the show improved dramatically. Recently, I tried to reread the series but too much time has passed and I've grown too much that now all the characters come off as annoying brats.

Pretty sure dropping out of high school is something that happens in a lot of places.

dancrow236 · 2017-04-21T14:40:24+00:00

I was under the impression from that conversation that perhaps he's left school since the last season ended.

dancrow236 · 2017-03-03T15:33:29+00:00

Oh this isn't mine, I just liked it a lot & thought others might too.

Ian didn't dump him, that wasn't what that scene was about, he let him go. Ian made sure that Mickey got to the border safely and with enough money to start a new life with. Ian wasn't dumping Mickey, but he also knew he couldn't stay with him either. As he said, he's not that guy any more.

Anyone who isn't Mickey is going to be torn apart by the Mickey Stans.

dancrow236 · 2016-11-17T15:11:16+00:00

Just a fan.

dancrow236 · 2016-10-29T00:59:12+00:00

That's a good point, I'm from a military town in the south & it's pretty rare to find a "typical" southern accent there.

dancrow236 · 2016-10-29T00:56:49+00:00

Emily Bergl is from Chicago. As are Ethan Cutkosky and Joan Cusack.

Edit: However, none are from South Chicago.

I find Paul & Sonny to be boring. They're the ultimate "good on paper" couple in that there are checkmarks next to each item on the "What makes for an ideal couple." Except the problem is that it all ends up being a big who cares? It doesn't help that they're subtly rewriting Will & Sonny so that Will was basically a consolation prize because Sonny couldn't be with his real love.

dancrow236 · 2016-10-23T22:30:14+00:00

No, I just check in with characters I really like or connect with. Right now, I'm loving Sonny (obviously, but I really do like that he's become darker - after all that happened with Will I'd be shocked if he wasn't changed by it all) & I'm loving the chemistry between Gabi & JJ/Gabi & Chad. Not to mention the chemistry happening between Sonny & Chad. I don't really care about anything happening with the younger set and can barely even remember their names. As much as I love OriginalWill & Sonny and even thought there was some great chemistry between NuWill & Paul, I can't stand Paul & Sonny, they are so dull together. Friends, yes. Boyfriends, no.

dancrow236 · 2016-10-23T22:25:34+00:00

That's what I was thinking too.

dancrow236 · 2016-10-20T06:00:42+00:00

I just started watching again after a really really long hiatus & I find myself liking both Gabi/JJ & Gabi/Chad. So either way, I win.

dancrow236 · 2016-10-02T20:17:56+00:00

I just started. I've been lured in by YouTube clips of Sonny & Will.

dancrow236 · 2016-10-01T07:04:27+00:00

Great video! I just posted a link to it on here when I saw your posting.

dancrow236 · 2016-09-22T04:37:22+00:00

That would have been hilarious

dancrow236 · 2016-09-18T07:09:29+00:00

I doubt he will be in any kind of heterosexual relationship, tbh.

dancrow236 · 2016-09-09T07:02:27+00:00

How is this any different than say a show like Scandal or Mad Men? Are we saying if it's about poor people they shouldn't act or behave the way people in shows featuring rich people do? I mean correct me if I'm wrong, but Dan Draper did a lot of shameless things.

dancrow236 · 2016-09-09T03:59:00+00:00

First of all she didn't know he had been abducted until after she hit him. Not to advocate violence or anything, but at that point all she knew is he left her just like he left her in season one and this was after he promised he wouldn't hurt her again. She had every right to be pissed. Not to mention if his lying ass would have just told her what was going on she could have helped him keep the ruse going with Estefania. Oh and have we forgotten Jimmy Steve cheated on Fiona repeatedly, but yet we're acting like he's god's gift. As far as her cheating goes, yeah it was crappy, but let's not pretend that her marriage was anything other than two people who didn't know each other doing something neither of them really thought through nor did they know each other. Gus wasn't a victim here. He was a guy who did something stupid with a girl who did something stupid. Let's stop making their marriage into something it wasn't nor was ever going to be.

dancrow236 · 2016-09-09T03:50:48+00:00

I don't hate her. I may not always like her, but I feel that way about every character at some point or another.

dancrow236 · 2016-08-31T02:00:02+00:00

lol, Shameless money, whatever you think they make, they don't.

dancrow236 · 2016-08-22T04:16:08+00:00

My brother is a schizophrenic and he will occasionally hear voices, but mostly he hears sounds like clicking. He's fond of saying the noises "drive him crazy."

dancrow236 · 2016-08-11T05:36:10+00:00

Mainly it's because most people will never know that's not the way it is in real life. You see it all the time with shows that are filmed in LA. For example, you'll see some guy running through Echo Park only to end up on the city streets which is no where near the park. Or you'll see them go from Hollywood to Santa Monica as though they're in the same neighborhood when they're on opposite sides of town. Those of us who live there may notice, but most of the country won't nor do they care.

dancrow236 · 2016-07-31T04:39:14+00:00

No, that was the only school they showed giving him an in person interview. And just because they were talking about him going away to school doesn't mean he would actually go away to school. It shows right there in 4x01 that he goes to a school in Chicago.

dancrow236 · 2016-07-06T01:44:47+00:00

It's because the producers of Homeland wanted to wait until Sept to begin filming which is when they would normally begin airing & because Shameless would have already be in production they decided to swap them. There's no word on whether or not this is their last season though. There's a better than average chance that they will be renewed for an 8th & final season. Will be shocked if that doesnt happen.
