No thread yet?

Look like this was the last ep for Marissa, and the last we'll be seeing Janet in her bra and panties for awhile

Probie betting the wrong horse and winning was pretty funny. I loved Tommy's reaction to Sean hugging him.

Good ep, I was pretty turned on when Tomei was taking her panties off. Good stuff

vegasbaby

Wasnt the greatest episode. Little sloppy. Spent too much time in the hockey rink.

Tomei's Ex is smaller than E on Entourage.

SmackDaddy

The comment from the Falafel cart guy was hilarious. Poor guy indeed!

So going by the preview for next week

Leary needs to film himself actually getting off because it is laughably bad when he acts it out on the show.

lotsofdvds

It's supposed to be laughably bad. He's quite pathetic.

Ranger

some good laughs tonight. but still felt like another filler. also felt like the recaps are getting longer.

i'm not a gambler so I don't understand how exactly they made 15 grand from a $100 bet?

and couldn't they have called in to make the bet instead of driving to the track?

Patman

I do.

Geofferson

The found the locker room bit extremely funny when Tommy masked his tears behind the Probie leaving the house.

Joeboo835

thought they put $400 down? And it was an exacta. Depending on the odds of the winning horses, 15k isn't that far fetched for an exacta

Great line:

Lou: "I had an apiffany"
Tommy: "What? you get that at quiznos?"

Flashback

"Two beers please."

I dunno why, but that part had me rolling.

Well, at least this time the 10 second sex scene was actually 10 seconds.

Unless all of Tommy's other sexual encounters were also in real time.

This reminds me of Six Feet Under in a way. How the first and second season were just supurb but the third was kinda sloppy and not as powerful, but yet still addicting and entertaining.

I'm getting sick of the Maggie-Sean storyline. I hope it doesn't get dragged out much longer.

CKMorpheus

Well they are getting married. I wouldn't be surprised if the finale of the season takes place at the wedding, or at least a key intregal scene.

Chew

Lou was the best part of this episode, the rest was m'eh.

wildman1037

I don't. Based on the end of this episode,

It seems like Leary and Tolan have no idea how to close threads. Mrs. Turbady - ended abruptly offscreen. Marisa Tomei - abrupt ending. Keela & Sarandon - off-screen and apparently forgotten. It seems that the only new character that gets to stick around is Maggie and she outlived her welcome about episode 2. It just seems that if you line up guest stars, the impact should last a bit longer. It's more like Leary and Tolan wrote until they ran out of ideas and then kicked characters out the door. Just left lingering in my opinion.

I think a better reference would be one of RM's sister shows: Nip/Tuck.

Being entertaining and addicting shouldn't be a necessary makeup for below par writing. SFU never had to go that direction. The writing was always crisp and somewhat risque but never over the top when storylines were majorly changed.

An example I like to use is Claire "becoming" somewhat of a lesbian in the shows fourth season: something that a viewer is questionable of based on her character's intentions in previous seasons, but it works because the writing never faultered or became a shadow of itself.

Rescue Me may still be somewhat entertaining, but for all the wrong reasons. To me, the show is becoming ridiculous in that they have to makeup for lackluster character developments and storylines by going overboard just to be "shocking". The first two seasons of RM had some of that shock, but those seasons were always grounded in a certain television reality that seemed plausible.

I don't think the third season of SFU was sloppy at all. It had a very "unsloppy" key story and flew high above what we are getting from this show right now (random ideas thrown together - like they don't know where to go and they hope everything will work itself out in the end.)

I just hope all of this useless matter in RM's third season goes somewhere...of course I don't see it coming near what we got from the final handful of episodes from SFU's third season (that was just grand).

CKMorpheus

True in many ways, but for me I put Rescue Me number 2 right next to Six Feet Under (number 1) in my Top 5 shows. The first and second season were phenomenal. I guess that's why I mentioned SFU.

Please bring back the Tomei!!!!!

You knew the Probie was fortunately going to bet on the wrong horse.

I like the turn Kenny took on the road.
