Rescue Me

Wonder if we're going to be seeing Steve the mulletman again?

I wonder if we are ever going to see his cousin's ghost again.

Well, that was an interesting way for the writers to get Sully off the squad.

I was expecting something off of the beaten path, but not that.

Probie gets more pathetic and worthless.

I honestly didn't think Sheila would lose the baby so fast. And now it looks like she is going to go psycho, too. It must be in the water up there.

Tommy should bring Paulie back to his old firehouse. He would liven it up now that Sully is gone.


And I want Over There to start already - I've seen promos for months! I'm tired of waiting!

I'm glad Tommy is back in. While the separation provided for a decent storyline, the show is infinitely better when the entire crew is better.

I forsee a sexual harrassment lawsuit over the stupid twat comment

Holy hell; looks like the probie may be off the force by the next episode for what he's about to do.

Wishful thinking, Bobbin.

Except for the last few minutes, that episode was a laugh riot.

Together. Shut up jerk.

I was hoping probie would be gone and Sully would stay around.

I hope it does not turn into a sexual harassment thing as he would have called a guy that did the same thing a stupid prick or equivalent.

Another stellar episode, although I think a lot of stuff happened a little too fast. The baby, sully, rejoining the house... I would have liked a little more spacing. But still, the best show on TV.

Anyone know the name of the song playing in the closing scenes?
I think it's by Mars Volta?

Edit: I figured it out, the song is called "The Widow".

Yup, hilarious episode. I loved the bit where Tommy and Franco talked about what they say to women about their scars. "You can't go wrong with blind children."

Exactly. Instead of apologizing for leaving Kenny alone in the basement of a burning undergound sex club, she whines about being called a name. Boo-hoo. I was able to tolerate her before because she didn't act like a crybaby, but so far it seems she really just can't hack it.

Best line: "I've seen some horrific stuff in my day boys, children burned beyond recognition, faces burned clean off...all of it erased by the image of Sully in a bra and skirt." GREAT stuff...

The song playing in the closing scenes was Mars Volta. Its from their dull Frances the Mute album.

I don't think she's supposed to be acting like a crybaby, since she has put up pretty well with all the other crap before, I'd say she's still more like playing the bitter bitch looking to take down the firehouse.

"Apologize!" wtf?

I got the feeling she's also playing Franco....

Yeah, like she's a little too good at playing the drunken slut.

Great episode overall, maybe moved a bit fast, but its setting a good tone for this season. It'll be good to see Tommy back at the station, hopefully he can stay clean too.

I didn't think they could use the T-word, even after 10 p.m., but they did, twice!

Pretty funny episode, thanks to Sean and Sully. Sheila might just milk her miscarriage for a few more months.

Three times actually.

Sully.

The way it was going, I knew it would end up being something that would turn the whole house against him. I never expected that!

How far along was Sheila? It was showing so it had to be like 3 months eh? It's a bit obsurd to think she would just pass the baby.
