I tried really hard to stretch the season out for as long as possible. Which for me meant twelve episodes over four days, but I couldn’t make it last a second longer, especially after 2x11. I love this show. The only thing I don’t love about it is the part where there aren’t six seasons for me to devour immediately. Because I would. Fucking

He's so fucking earnest, S! Like... it pains me! I love them so much.

EXACTLY. Like, how does he even make his voice do that? It's such a simple line, but it killed me, emotionally speaking.

I have to go find your Karen post! She gave me a lot of feelings this season. There was this subtle complexity to her arc that I really admired. I wonder if she'll be back next season?

I can't believe you just made me "aw" about Frank and Monica.

Frank and Monica are holy terrors, but watching them together I was like, "Okay, I think I finally get these two humans." Together they make sense, whereas separately I kind of just want to pull a Jimmy and drop them off in a foreign country with no money.

I think Ian suffers a bit from having so much of his life private. It isolates him in a way, which always makes me sad, but I liked seeing him spend a little more time at home interacting with the family this year. I want more though! He should be up for a bigger storyline this time around, I feel like he's due one. And I want him to find another age appropriate boyfriend because these old dudes perving on him is always unsettling to me. Ditto freaking Jody. Like, I look at him and shudder. Why is he so weird?

I was worried about Este in the beginning, but she is so much fun! And hopefully Marco can continue to be Steve, so if her dad feels the need to dismember anyone he can go after him and not Jimmy.

I want to write fic for this show, but I'm honestly afraid to. It's that rare show that gives me everything I want on screen, so I feel like anything I tried to add to that would be straight up terrible.

Right? How is it even physically possible?

Here's my Karen post, btw.

"Okay, I think I finally get these two humans." Right? I definitely felt that when watching but I don't think I understood it fully until I read your post. This is why I love fandom. ♥ (AND YOU.)

Weirdly Este reminds me of a friend of mine. A little innocent (clueless about Fiona and Jimmy), but in charge of her sexuality, and at the same time totally endearing? LOL. Yes, I get all of this even though she's spoken Portuguese the entire time.

It's that rare show that gives me everything I want on screen, so I feel like anything I tried to add to that would be straight up terrible. -- I totally know what you mean about this! That's a really good way of putting it. What other shows would you say fit that category? I'm trying to think and I know I've felt this way before, but I can't think of any right now!

Oh gosh, there aren't many. Deadwood, for sure. Also, Terriers, which is a show I did write fic for once, but only because it was Yuletide. The original UK version of Life on Mars too.
