Ian Gallagher In Shameless Season 1

Ian Gallagher in Shameless Season 1

A decade ago we were conned into believing that Mickey Milkovich was the dirtiest white boy in America when Ian Gallagher had actual mushrooms growing on his balls.

The fact there are three things in the entire world frank is supposed to know (his name, address, and that he has dementia) and we find that out RIGHT when everyone talks about selling the house. It’s the one thing Frank has constant in his life: his house and his family being there. Not that he deserves anything but. Not only is his neighborhood becoming indistinguishable from what he knows in it’s own right, but the one constant he’s always had is getting taken from him right when he starts loosing his memory. 

The scene where Mickey put the gun on Terry. The fact that Terry saw a FRACTION of the terror he inflicted on Mickey his entire childhood and turned into a blubbering mess while Mickey was forced to save face when it happened to him. The fact that Mickey could have at least bruised him a little with the gun but he didn't. Mickey just made him feel fear that for  a moment. Maybe remembered what that felt like. The fact that it broke him a little to know that his abuser couldn't take even a small hit of his own medicine; that he wasn't even better than Mickey at not being afraid.
