Why is it unrealistic for us to see Fiona's court case wrapped up quickly?

they introduce it and swipe it away within about 2 episodes. that's just convenient

also, she would lose custody of the kids and they'd go into foster care (Especially liam). the problem is they picked SUCH a dramatic/extreme dramatic scenario for fiona that getting her "out" is tough. then it gets wrapped up in 2 eps? it's just cheap...a very crude storytelling device (and the show is starting to use a lot of them, if you notice. see: frank's other daughter)

Is it crazy that Ian went into some drug induced haze after his gay lover beat the shite out of him and was forced to screw a hooker in front of him at gunpoint by the hood rat dad?

no. but him getting in the military and him getting out of the military was, again, a cheap narrative device. you don't just walk away from that situation. it's too extreme.

I thought Liam was released into Frank's custody. Thats why they wheeled him into the hospital and cleaned him up and dressed him nice when Liam was released. The social worker's are monitoring the situation etc.

People go awol from the Army all the time and can spend years avoiding any trouble. If he went awol from a reserve or guard unit they can just process him out with a bad discharge with nothing happening on his end.


Some folks like the show, some dont, you are nit picking a bit though.
