This episode was so messed up.

Goat3001

I think what Frank did goes beyond dark comedy and enters fucked up territory.

Daryl

I don't think I've ever hated a single episode of a show I really like more than this one. I'm biased because I hate the Frank character anyway, but this was awful. The other storylines didn't do much for me, either.

Gunde

The sex scene with Fiona and Craig was fucking hilarious! After all that build up. And the sounds he made

But yeah Frank, what a piece of shit.

critterdvd

It was hilarious - what a stark opposition to what she had built up in her mind. I was giggling when I saw the food wrapers but just started to flat out laught when I saw the stickers on the back of the van (as messed up as that might sound) - but her eyes looked huge!

I can't believe that they went there as fast as they did with Butter-face... .

I'm curious how much Joan Cusak and Lip's girl (can't remember her name right now) will fit into the series in the proceeding episodes, it seems like they are moving further and further away from that storyline.

And I wish they could give lip and Ian more screen time... they seems to have been downgraded this year so far.

boogieman03

It's all kinds of fucked up.

I loved this. I always wonder about this type of thing. I see girls who I went to high school with who I had a crush on at bars from time to time and I wonder if anything ever happened, would it be as good as the fantasy? Would it even be worth it? lol I love they played into that.

dino88

He got $2000 and a flat screen.

As dark as this episode was, I thought they were going to even darker at one point. When Frank said how her body was still warm, I thought we were about to see something particularly awful.

critterdvd

I forgot about the flatscreen but I equated the $2000 to "a couple of ice cubes" because in the grand scheme of what he thought he was going to get it was basically nothing.


I think last night the series finally drew the line of where it will go and where it will not go. Any further in this particular storyline and I could see them easily loosing viewers - which I doubt they want to do only being in their second season.

conscience

Same here.

I thought it was dumb as hell for them to even call the purse-loser back in the first place, but that confrontation was hilarious.

I really enjoyed this episode but that ending was pretty bad with the fake backdrop.

Evan Meadow

I actually expected him to be on some sort of movie set because of that fake backdrop. I was like "What they really want us to think he's on the beach?"

DJariya

OMG, I was actually pissed off after watching this episode. Frank Gallagher is one of the most disgusting and vile characters on TV. What he did here was just unbelievable. Kills Dottie, steals the engagement ring (but returned it out of guilt) and then to top it off he takes the church donation box too. What a piece of garbage. On the bright side, Bill Macy is doing a masterful job playing this low life.

I loved with the stuff with Fiona. All that sexual tension led to one of the most hilarious and disgusting sex scenes ever. And I loved her confrontation with the Purse woman.

at Steve getting a BJ during Fiona's call.

barelypure

I didn't get that he returned the ring out of guilt but that he no longer needed the ring and with the 2 grand he was feeling flush so he could return the ring rather than sell it. In the long run it sets the guy up more for when Frank really needs to rip him off.

I do have to wonder if the newscast would have released the news about the B+ heart. I don't know that I've ever seen that on TV. It might make the papers since they are behind in the news they tend to include additional information for their readers.

As to the scene in the van the funniest for me was the cheerio stuck to her knee.

Now the scene with Frank and Dottie, the last thing I want to see is Macy's wrinkled old ass pounding away.

superfro

I said last season that this has to be the most fantastic role an actor could ever ask for. This season is just pushing it completely over the top. I can't imagine how great it must be to just get to act like a complete and utter asshole to everyone.

Then don't see The Cooler cause you get to see his bag too.

slop101

This episode had not one, not two, but THREE fucked up sex scenes:

- Lip casually doing her from behind, accidentally in the ass and her being okay with it
- Frank pretty much fucking a warm corpse
- and of course the sex scene in the family van

conscience

Sorry but I, too, think it was guilt (he was crying after all). There is no way he would give that ring back if not - he would have pawned it in no time if he wasn't feeling in anything.

Coral

I was wondering this myself. I've heard of news stories about kids who the news stations have followed their plight in looking for donors and the happy ending gets reported about a donor being found. I just don't think they'd have a news item about someone dying and donating a B+ heart less than 24 hours later. This sounds like something that would be kept private.

Josh-da-man

Between Shameless, House of Lies, and Californication, Sunday is definitely asshole night on Showtime.

All things considered, though, Hank Moody comes off looking pretty good when you hold him up against Frank Gallagher and every on House of Lies.

Josh-da-man

Maybe she has connections or contacts at the hospital who told her.

conscience

Has there always been a scene after the credits of each episode or is this a first?

DJariya

I've watched since Day 1 and I believe that scene was a 1st.

conscience

Good. I have too but I usually stop it right when the first credit comes up and I just so happened to be fast forwarding it too fast trying to get to a scene and it came upon that scene and I saw you mention it..and thought is this a regular thing?.

dex14

There usually is. That was not the first time.

mortalplague

Yes most episodes have a final scene after the start of the credits.
