Rescue Me

Looks to be an intense episode based on the preview.

Until Garrity thought his cock was a weapon of mass destruction.

Great episode tonight.

Loved Kenny's dating pool description.

Something was missing from this episode for me. I don't know, it just fell kinda flat. I am starting to get a little irked with Jebus getting so much screen time, as it doesn't seem to have much of a point yet. I am sure it will pay off later, but for now it is a bit annoying. I would prefer more of dead cousin Jimmy and less J.C.

I think they need to get Tommy's ex Janet more involved in the show again soon (which I am sure they will, considering he took the kids back). The interaction between the two of them last season was priceless, and it's been missed this season so far, at least by me.

Franco's storyline with his vicodin addiction isn't really grabbing me so far, but I'll give it time. The only thing I really enjoyed in this ep was Lou/Kenny's little subplot. He is one of my favorite characters on the show, and it's nice to see him get thrown a bone.

Good show. I love it. Where's Mike and Garrity? They need to be in it more.

Solid show. Not great compared to some previous episodes, but good over all.

Yeah it wasn't "great" but still a fine episode.

Tommy trying to sleep in the firehouse with all the noises was really funny to me, when he said "Ching clang ping plung klong...it sounds like a chinese graduation in here". Oh and the sex putty comment was good.

Crack is whack!

Enjoyed it, but the show seemed to be all over the place tying up ends from previous shows.

"What's the church's policy on dating your half-sister?"

"I guess I thought you'd be more...whorish." Great stuff.

I also liked Shelia's scream and the guys saying "Hey, Sheila."

Not the best ep. of the season, but still better than most stuff out there.

Am I the only one that thought next weeks looks more like an episode of "The Job" than Rescue Me?

"I've been under falling buildings, yet I'm afraid to go in there." I can't wait for next week.

Leary was wearing a "The Job" t-shirt at the beginning wasn't he? That was cool.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has wanted to do their half sister.

I didn't pick up on that. Pretty cool if he was.

I think a lot of us were a bit disappointed that they didn't capitalize on the Keela/Franco story or the Sheila/Tommy story. I also don't really find Franco's struggle too believable. Sheila/Tommy are really starting to act like the trailer trash couple. A few episodes form now, I could see Tommy in a dirty white tank top drinking beer again and Sheila in curlers and hollering nonsense in a run-down trailer.

Beefstachio

I felt like this episode dragged, and not a whole lot happened. I think that's a first for me in the entire run of this series.

Yeah that yellow t-shirt he had on with the gun on the back said "The Job" on the front pocket area. Unless "the job" is in reference to something else I'd say it was from the old show!

Just watched the show last night and there's somethign I don't understand. Tommy kidnapped the kids but it isn't too hard for his ex to find where he is. I mean she knows where he works. First of all, why would Tommy even think this was a good idea? Second, where is the ex beating down the firehouse door to take them back. Just doesn't add up to me.

They're not at the firehouse. She doesn't know that they are staying with his dad and his Asian wife. I suppose she could go to the firehouse and follow him around.

Yeah, but she hasn't even contacted him? I found that odd as well. I wonder why they decided to just ignore that thread this week. Highly unlikely that she would taker her time in responding to his kidnapping the kids back.

I'm not sure if his ex isn't slightly relieved to have the kids off her hands for a while. I mean, the oldest daughter was gone for 5 days, and she didn't contact Tommy about it and tried to fib she was at home when she had already turned up at Tommy's. Not the behavior of a concerned, panicked parent.

Not a bad episode but not as great as it could be. Hopefully next weeks brings the bar back up a bit as i havent enjoyed the last two episodes as much as the first few of the second season. Still love the show, though.
