Jenksismyhero Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Caught up on some TV last night: Downton Abbey - 2nd episode (3rd hour) with the singer...Kinda jumped the shark a bit for me. The major whoa part of the episode seemed a little too unbelievable, even in that time period. Shameless - great. Excited this is back on. More Rossum T&A, more good Frank lines. My only "complaint" was that Lip's "D" didn't make any sense. He's supposed to be some genius, right? House of Lies - Ok. Still not sure why I keep up with this show, but it's got a cool look/style to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think him at college could be the best storyline if done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im worried they are gonna rush it and kick him out of college because his roomates girlfriend hates him and rats on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they didn't have him go to UC or NW. Still though, this is a guy who was paid to take the ACT/SAT and scored nearly perfectly. They made it clear he was some kind of genius. I just thought they could have used a better story if they're going to use the bad grade as a way to get Lip to try harder at school. And I agree that's the most interesting storyline in the show. Lip has always been my favorite character. The writers/directors fascination with Debbie kind of creeps me out. She can't pass for a high schooler and I think it's absurd that they want the audience to believe that the high schooler actually buys it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of the first show made it seem like he gave up already. One of two things is going to happen, he is going to go home and say he is done with it, or someone is going to catch his attention at school. The creepiest part of the show I thought was the scene at Mickeys house where he was counting the cash. The guy that plays their dad just looks like a total scumbag.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Oh, and that new show on FX, called Chozen, with the cartoons, is f***ing HILARIOUS. Danny McBride and Jody Hill are executive producers on it, so of course it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, his interview in season 3 was with an MIT rep and his character wiki says he enrolled at MIT http://shameless.wikia.com/wiki/Phillip_Gallagher_(US) Seems kind of silly that he would never be around the family if he is going to a Chicago based school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing with some of the scenes, it is probably for legal purposes. Act like he is at MIT. Don't mention another school, but show references to a fake school in the background.
