I don't disagree, but the circumstances to get us to this point are complete illogical and stupid. If we're gonna do rock bottom for Fiona, do it in a way that makes sense and doesn't make every other character look worse. Not for some shyt that would've went left regardless of her being a trainwreck. The other characters have done FAR worse than Fiona right now.

Lip was a damn drunk running around destroying people's property, breaking into houses and all kinds of shyt, Debbie getting herself knocked up, etc. and Fiona still found a way to make shyt work for them. But the second shyt goes bad for Fiona they're throwing her in the bushes faster than Frank. It's all transparently rushed to get Emmy out of the show.

Fiona's falling off and getting alienated from everybody because that's what the plot demands, but the story is doing nothing to earn it.

Exactly
If it wasn’t for Fiona all these kids would have Been in foster care .

Now she’s the devil

Could not agree more, that's the point I was making a few pages back. The route they took to have this Lip/Fiona bubble burst was beyond nonsense. Compare the reality check she got when Liam did coke to what she did now, fukking night and day.

I understand their backs are against the wall as far as having to write her out of the story, but they'd be doing more justice having her disapear off screen or having her do a bid than this garbage.

Of course Fiona’s back on her “south side” shyt. shyt’s super fukking corny :camby:

I was thinking during this episode that Emma Rossum must have pissed off the writing staff of the show, as they are doing their hardest to make everybody hate her character. There is nothing redeemable about Fiona. :huhldup:

But, she’s going to AA now. Of course she’s now going to AA with Lip (I shoulda seen that....it’s all set up perfectly). They showed her downfall and out of control behavior. Even Frank was like...you’re a bad drunk :snoop: it actually makes her AA trip that much more powerful.

I know about getting out of control with alcohol and having it ruin your life. I see what they’re doing with Fiona. I see myself in her character now. Maybe the season can be redeemed. :jbhmm:


And, what the fukk happened to Liam? He just disappeared, with no reason given. :dwillhuh:

Stopped watching this two seasons ago. This is up there with the Walking Dead. Both shows started off great and lasted for at least 5 or 6 seasons with top quality content. Then both series became a mainstream mega hit, so instead of ending the series when it needs to be ended (shameless) or the taking a hiatus until the right time to return (Walking Dead)-- these series just keep milking what ever sense of pride they have left. At this point their memes and this is why both head actors from each show decided to leave the show.

I don't know what else shameless can cover. Even though Fiona is one of the most annoying characters from the show she still is the main character. Going 9 seasons deep with her as the focus of being the big sister just to continue the series without drops the series legacy overall.

The owner of the garage is Lip's sponsor. It would be safe to assume anyone working there may have a problem. If she didn't know that and was unfamiliar with the place then she shouldn't have been pulling bottles out her purse like she at home :manny:

Showtime drags every show out until it's zombie status. Best point to end the show was season 7 when their moms died and Fiona's future was looking up.
