Diary of a Movie Lover

                                        This season of Shameless has been a roller coaster for the Ghallager’s. Frank got a job, lost it and smuggled people to Canada for a while, Fiona hooked up with a man whose seeds were planted in a lot of women and had a lot of exes. She was also sued for 6 million dollars and almost lost her house and car. Lip lost his favorite Professor, stopped drinking and finally got back with Sierra. Ian became the “Gay Jesus”, Debbie started welding and then lost her toes and Carl got married to a psycho. Yes, Kassidi is insane. I almost forgot about Kev, V & Svetlana. At the beginning of the season, Kev found his long lost family but they were Red Necks and racists, so V didn’t want Kev to have anything to do with them. They also got Svetlana arrested but he...

Last season, Kevin and Veronica lost their bar to Svetlana, Lip is working on his sobriety and working two jobs and Fiona bought an apartment building. They all inherited a bag of crystal meth from Monica's stash after she died last season and Carl is helping his siblings sell the drugs.  Fiona buried hers and Liam's share of the meth with Monica's body and by the beginning of the episode, she's telling Lip how much she wants a real man and is done with having meaningless sex with men from tinder. Fiona is now a land lady and she's trying to get her life in order. She has really come a long way and I'm glad she's finally winning.  Image via tvline.com Frank is always up to no good but it seems like smoking half of Monica's meth and giving the rest to the needy ma...

If you've followed Shameless from the beginning, then you know the writers never disappoint. The seventh season finale which aired on Sunday was proof of why we were all so in love with this dysfunctional family. At the beginning of the episode, Ian is on his way back to Chicago after helping Mickey (who I really miss) escape and we finally see Carl at military school as he gets the information about the death of his mother.   At the hospital, a Doctor informs Fiona, Lip and Debbie that they were not able to revive Monica and that she died after a blood vessel in her brain burst. Fiona goes outside to give Frank the news, telling him he could come in to say goodbye but Frank walks away to a bar without saying a word to Fiona. Back at the house, Fiona, Kev, V, Debbie, Liam and Neil go through Monica's personal belongings which included clothes, jewelry, drugs, a copy of Siddhartha by Herman Hesse and a key. Frank shows up late, pukes on the floor and passes ou...
