I don't think that this firehouse is gonna let the new guy get away with murder because he can play bball. It's gonna blow up in their faces.

He's gonna die in a fire by the end of the season. Book it.

how will they know he's burnt?

nice.

He couldnt have...


He wouldnt...


Tell me he didnt...

nah, because the comedic element of the show would be totally lost and they wouldn't be able to get it back.

That was one of those episodes that gives you the shivers, puts you in one of those moods, like you got hit with the wtf bat across the face. This is of the utter most quality shows that TV offers. I find that giving the baby to Sheila is out of the question, he knows she is certifiably nutz, but the river couldn’t be an option, could it? I think Tommy is too sane to do something like that, it would be so out of character I find. Sean slapping mike the second time was a truly lol moment.

Man I wish you guys would post spoilers. Canada sucks as far as RM goes. Have to wait to d/l, etc.

I've pondered it and there is NO WAY he dropped the baby in the...

NO WAY.


I dont know where the baby is, but he is alive.

i downloaded it yesterday, what does being in canada have to do with it, unless you mean d/ling it is a hassle, but I rather watch TV shows off of my PC than sit through commercial and plan to be at he TV at the right time.

Oh, I agree, BUT, d/ling on a crap connection (or NOT) means waiting for a guy I work with to download and burn it for me, then bring it in to work. So really, reading spoilers here would be so much easier.

i really don't believe he would be able to drop him. another son, even if it's his brothers. the only thing that leads me to believe he might, remember Janets dream of the bath and Johnny pulling the kid under. and then Johnny appearing to tommy, convincing him to drop him in a river so he can be returned??

Yeah I definitely do NOT think that Tommy actually dropped him. That being said...what are you guys talking about when it comes to letting the black guy get away with murder? Did I miss something, please explain!

new probey doesn't do any probey work, thinks he's above it b/c he plays basketball.

funny thing, in real life, he's probably 5'6" from what I understand. I knew a girl that met him (Larenz Tate) and says she was way taller than him. She may have been 5'8"

although, it makes me want to watch Menace to Society again.

Yeah, most actors are actually a lot shorter than they look on TV. Comon, Tom Cruise is only 5'7.

Im super excited to find out the babys fate. I have some guesses, but im too lazy to write them.


Plus, I want to be able to say afterwords that whatever happened is what I thought would happen.

I figured he gave the baby to Sheila and I was right.


And GINA GERSHON is so freakin hot. For an older lady.

FYP

ok can anyone tell me if the episode ended with tommy chekcing his cut hand? or did my torrent forget the ending

On my torrent it shows him looking at it then sticking his thumb in a good 3/4" square gash in his hand, then it ended.

I can't remember, but Gina Gershon jammed her number down his shirt and left.

That sex scene with her was weird, yet hot.

ok i think i missed a scene or two...i don't remember her being in the show at all...

begining of the episode that aired last night. Replays this weekend.

I can't be touched for an hour. If you come back in half an hour, maybe I can blow you, but you can't touch me for an hour, maybe two.


umm, btw, my name is Tom.

Yeah, Hi Tom.

average episode, but still better than most of the crap on tv.

Wonder where they're going with the whole "heights thing." Two episodes in a row ending with him in a predicament where he could fall.

Is it just me or has this season been....blah?


I love the show, but its on the down slope if you ask me. They better step it up.

downslope, no offense to the asians. GET IT?

I have come relatively late to the Rescue Me party, having only watched a few episodes whenever I could from the previous seasons, but I do not think its on the downslope. They seem to be going with drama instead of comedy a hell of a lot more than I would prefer, but I think they can go a ton of different ways with the show for at least a couple more seasons after this.

Season Finale next week. I guess Im excited.

yeah, they better do something good.

Yawn.

that really was a pretty uneventful finale even though his dad did die, but that was pretty expected. but honestly, I was glad that it was uneventful because after reading an interview with dennis leary recently, I've been afraid they were just going to stop making it, ie that was gonna be the last episode. I think the interview was in Maxim, not sure, but he said the way he'd end the show would be just to stop it in the middle without anybody expecting it.


still love this show.

I think my apathy towards the show is the result of a sub par season. I hope they bring it next year.

I'm thinking this was a re-structuring type of season, kind of laying the groundwork for next year. For the most part, Tommy became the sanest (for lack of a better term and despite his continued hallucinations) person on the show while nearly everyone in his life was coming off the rails a bit, which was a 180 from the initial seasons. As Tommy continues to come to terms with his turmoil the people around him become more and more unbalanced. It's like a pendulum with Tommy's insanity being on one side and his loved ones' insanity being on the other. As the pendulum swings away from Tommy's insanity it swings further into his friends' insanity, which in turn begins to push the pendulum back.

So I'm thinking next season the pendulum will begin to swing back into the area where Tommy will snap.

I hope so. I was waiting this whole season for him to lose it, and it just never came.

Of course it could go the other way with the show ending in a situation where Tommy gets his shit together but everyone else is pure disfunction.

I hope not. To me it has to end with him dying in a fire. Maybe seeing Jimmy as he dies, plus Connor and Johnny.

plus his dad.


It wasn't balls out silly funny like it normally was this season. That's what got me to the show, and the serious stuff kept me tuned, but they lost some of the hilarity.

Who knows? I'm a fan for life, either way.

agreed. it would have to get pretty friggin terrible for me to quit watching. they need more lou for pure comedic awesomeness.

one a comedic note, i was really disappointed with the under-utilization of the chic from strangers with candy. i think she really could've done sooo much more with that role.

I heard D Leary's voice on the video game commercial. Got me thinking about this show. Looking forward to a return to form next season.

The show was renewed for a fifth season of 22 episodes. In an interview with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show on Thursday, May 15th, 2008, Leary revealed season 5 had been delayed until March 2009 thanks to the writer's strike, but that all 22 episodes would air on consecutive weeks. Leary also said there would be a number of "mini-sodes" airing in June and July to bridge the fourth and fifth seasons.

I'm moderately erect, thank you.

first "minisode" is on tuesday i believe.

I was wondering what that was. My tivo is recording 9 minutes of something.

Rescue Me Minisode : "Fast"
A series of five-minute mini episodes begins with Sean struggling to keep his fast in the face of Lou's very tempting homemade doughnuts.

IN ONE HOUR.

amusing. Standard Rescue Me stuff.

yup. march is a long time to wait for a full episode though. goddamn.

MARCH??????
