#Unless there's some Gallavich this season there will be nothing worth watching here

Sheila Did A New Periscope

I didn’t see it, but a person on Twitter did a good recap-potential spoilers and pointless speculation under the

FML about Terror coming back.  I don’t trust Sheila as far as I could throw her, so her intimating that he and Ian won’t be romantically involved doesn’t reassure me much.  The showrunners seem completely devoid of understanding that they never had anything with Terror to begin with, but then having Ian run off with Mickey without a thought for T boy just makes him a cuck if he takes Ian back.  And I’m sorry, that whiny, bratty, self involved drama junkie of a character is NOT the friend Ian needs in his life.  They should’ve made Sue and Ian friends-given them a bunch of scenes together where they just talk about life in general (and Sue doesn’t say stupid shit like there’s no such thing as platonic relationships)-and not brought Terror back.

The thing about Liam and her indicating there will be a time jump-since the Sims twins got the first script and didn’t get let go till after the table read makes me think the “jump” will just be from Christmas (remember all the pointless decorations around when Monica died?) to summer-I don’t think they have any plans to try to age Liam into a tween or teen, which would also age Carl and Debbie (neither of whom have the acting chops to play that they’re anything but teenagers)-plus that would make Fiona’s tits that much older too and the show can’t have that.  They clearly think their true fanbase is a silent majority of the coveted 19-34 male demographic that tunes in every week hoping to see Emmy topless.  Obviously they don’t think the Mickey/Gallavich fanbase is that big-I guess we’re just dismissed as the most vocal/annoying fans.

Also, they JUST let Ian go from 17 to 21ish, they can’t possibly let him act any older.  If anything, they’re probably going to retcon him back to his teens again.

A time jump to summer also means Carl would be out of school and back in Chicago for a while.

Snore (my new official name for Sierra) “only” being back for 7 episodes means, I hope, that Lip will do something involving her that finally makes him realize he’s hit rock bottom.  Since the show has turned into a really crappy soap opera, they might even kill her off in a way they think will upset the audience and really make us mourn her passing, whereas in reality there will be viewing parties and celebrations if they make that Lip’s wake up call.

“Ian and Carl content”-again, I’m not going to hold my breath.  When does Ian ever get treated like he’s actually part of the family?  They’re probably going to have one conversation or something-and what would it even be about?  “Hey, Ian, didn’t you ever notice Terror looks a lot like me?  WTF, dude?”  

Or they’ll just rewrite the fight Lip and Ian had back in the day about Ian not getting to have anything that wasn’t Lip’s first.  Now he’ll beat up Carl for taking the life he wanted and Carl will be fighting back and saying all the lines Ian had in the Lip fight about being the younger bro.  

And maybe there’s a new character?  Please don’t let it be another loser for Ian to fuck!

And “a touch point between two Gallaghers”-I have no idea what that means, but I REALLY feel like this season is going to revolve around Frank and Fiona to justify their contracts.  And no one cares/wants to see that, grrrr.

The only thing she said about Mickey is she misses him?  That’s the company line this year, obviously.  Emmy talked that talk at that live thing she and Macy did.  They’ve stopped trying to convince us he was “bad” and now just pander to us: “Ooh, we miss him too.  Wasn’t he swell?  Golly!”  

Love that Sheila, who is a producer in addition to a writer, doesn’t seem too clear on whether Ethan will be back for the entire season-or when they start filming (hopefully they’re all just hostages to when Emmy feels like going back to work after her honeymoon, LOL).  And, what about Cameron?  He still has two or three movies and hopefully Gotham Season 4 to shoot and maybe even more projects we don’t even know about in 2017-will he be around for the entire season?  Even if he is, will Ian be given anything decent to do?  Unless Mickey’s coming back, is anyone even going to be able to care what they do to poor Ian next?

tldr: Fans: We want Mickey back!        Noel: I’d love to come back, if walls couldn’t hold Mickey, neither can borders...        The Show: Terror and Snore will be back!  And we’re casting a new Liam (who will probably get more screentime than Ian) and you know what great casting choices we’ve made!  Since we haven’t gotten it right since Nichole Bloom, maybe we’re due for a win!
