omg bro. his life is so conflicted. he can't bank the super cute rich girl who loves to blow him b/c he's so ghetto...

...but he can't enjoy the ghetto b/c he's so different now b/c he went to some college!!!




I was saying this to my wife last night, "what's this dudes problem, he's got a pretty cute horny chick with BANK, but he whines about not having money?"

I have watched every season, but yes, last night was seeming very familiar. Hopefully there's some good writing still and I'll keep watching since the show was funny in the past.

a big problem is that to make lip/fiona likeable and interesting early on, they have to give the characters some value. both are intelligent, hard-working, and on top of shite. the only way to keep them ghetto (because this show refuses to get outside of a celebration of being poor), the writers have to keep creating crazy scenarios to keep them down

last season they literally turned fiona into a crazy person (while slyly turning ian into an actual crazy person). last season turned a genius that was capable of getting 1500+ on the SAT into a struggling college student who apparently became unable to read.

so what appears to be the conflict this season? fiona doing exactly what she did last season and lip having the exact same existential conflcits taht he had ALL OF SEASONS 1 AND 2 (But with a less hot gf. karen jackson is one of the hottest chicks EVAR)
