That scene where he confronts Joel McHale really was the last drop for me. You knew from the start it would be an "I don't think about you at all" type scene, and it was, and somehow it was even more predictable than you could predict, and completely underwhelming. Of course it was made a lot worse by all of the UMs and UHHs and the repeating of words thing Jeremy Allen White does to show that he's a good actor (I-I-I I get anxious. Wh-wh-wh why are you like this).
Was this happening around the same time where he was arguing with Sydney? Made no fucking sense why she was upset. We were shown how Joel was irrationally abusive and supposed to believe Lip just shouting at her every now and then made him a tyrant? She was an ungrateful fuck from the beginning, but I guess she's black so it's ok.
The episode where they fight at the Christmas party was really good though. I watched it twice, really hit home. The one good part of the show come to think of it.
