I guess we won't be seeing anymore of Tommy's gorgeous, nameless booty call. It's a shame she went psycho. I was getting used to seeing her in each ep.

If Sean's involved in a storyline, you know it will somehow bring the funny. "Helmet? On or off?"

The thing with the tranny was pretty funny

"I didn't want to be rude"

So was Lou's blowup at the group meeting

Is anyone here watching this great show? Almost noon the day after and there are 5 total posts, with 3 by the same person. WTH? I consider it up there in the top 5 shows, HBO included.

Hilarious episode. SO sweet to see Tommy's brother help out his kin so thoughtfully...

I'm happy to see Dean Winters get some work, and his character is almost always eating which is quite funny. I liked the subtitles with Tommy and his father again.

I'm still watching and enjoying the show, I just tend to be a day behind in most things I watch.

I stayed up late last night to watch my recording of "Revenge". Pretty funny situations (the shake-down of Roger, Tommy's booty call going psycho-arsonist, the traumatic stress group getting the riot act read to them by Lou, the tranny affair). Franco's subplot isn't that interesting so far.

So Franco's faternal instinct is to dump his kid from one foster situation to another?

Caught up with my TV viewing last night (thanks Tivo).

This was by far the funniest of the episodes so far. Is it me or are they already phasing out the ghost gimmick? I don't mind if he sees dead people here and there, but I could do w/out the cousin's Great Gazoo schtick.

This show is great. Just watched the last three episodes last night. WOW FX is definately pushing the TV limits with those sex scenes, between Rescue Me and Nip/Tuck I forget that I'm not watching HBO anymore.

The stalker part was great. 60 secs away from going 3rd input. What a shame.

I personally am not that impressed with the show so far. I think it's decent, but if you take out the language and sex, it's very mediocre.

"Looks like they made a Molotov cocktail out of a snow-globe."

... for a minute there I thought it was Roger's friends again.

And I really like the 'support group' scene with Kenny telling all those people off for saying they had no right to claim to be affected by the events of 9/11. That's exactly how I feel about folks who try to empathize.

I figured that they would leave it open to who did it, trying to get the audience to think it was Roger's friends, but it would actually be Karen. Guess not.

Great episode, once again.

Actually, it was pretty funny, since i watch the show with closed captioning on. Whenever Tommy's girlfriend spoke, the captioning would preface it with "Lauren: ". So when he guessed her name, i thought he was right!

The look on Tommy's face when he realized he was going to have to come up with a name was priceless. I really like Denis Leary, and this is a perfect role for him.

The actress is even credited with the role of "Lauren" in the closing credits, which was funny too.

Calling to all Rescue Me fans with a DVR...
I just moved and my cable didn't get hooked up in time to get this episode. Can anyone help me out with a tape or a torrent or anything? I would be happy to pay for a tape + shipping. Don't make me suffer!

Thanks!
