Rescue Me - Season 4

[Ploppy]

Rescue Me season 4 starts up again on June 12th. O&A should get an apperance out of Denis Leary in the next few weeks to plug.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Tommy survives the house fire at the end of season 3.

[Dre]

I really enjoyed last season, I hope this one is as good or better.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Can't fucking wait. I missed most of the first and second season, but made sure to catch every last episode of 3rd season. Fucking LOVED it.

I think he'll come out of it fine, but his bitch will be all fucked up and burnt.

[Six-Pack]

Wonder if he'll have a dream sequence to kick it off. Maybe see a few people who aren't really there.

[Perch1019]

I wish they would put out an actual preview to the season and stop showing Leary kicking his own ass every time the shield goes to commercial

I guess they do not want to gove away yet what happened in that house fire.

[Palerider4146]

So lets see, Leary has stated he didnt see the series going on for that long. Does he have the balls to kill off his own character and make him a ghost like his cousin,hmmmmmmmmmmm

Hell, when he was in the XM studio he said he wanted to kill the character mid-season, to catch everyone off guard. I'm hoping he sticks with that.

[mendozathejew]

and I bet the house wasnt insured yet

[Rob]

Can't fucking wait.

x2

[Bud8Weiser]

Best goddamn show on television. Can't wait for it to start up again. I think Tommy survives the house fire and Sheila dies that way he can go back to NY and raise the kid with the ex whether its his or Johnnys is another story.

[Dave _from_Kiev]

I am looking forward to the season. Keep me happy leary!!!!

[Lunchbox420]

I have no idea how I missed this show, but I just watched 5 hours of it on fx and holy shit what a fucking show. I am going to buy season 1 and 2 on dvd. Fucking incredible

[burningsun]

They changed the start date to June 13th. It's on Wenesdays this year

Great to have another link for TV shows on the net.

For those who don't know, there's another gem of a website like this. Go to http://www.tv-links.co.uk/.

[MikeHimself]

just saw a preview on tv that actually showed clips. tommy does get out of the fire because he was in the firehouse and at home with his family. also looks like adam ferrara might be joining tommy's house.

[Carl Spackler]

Can't wait to see what Tommy and the Boys have happening at the house this year...

[Begbie]

The Boston Herald kinda goes into a little detail about what's to come for Season 4. Which I kinda wish I didn't read it, cuz now I kinda know some of the storylines and how they'll likely develop. In case some of you want to go in totally fresh, not knowing anything about the first episode or some of the storylines...don't click the spoiler.

Tommy does survive, but is under investigation for insurance fraud since they took out a $2 million insurance policy just prior to the fire. It's not clear what happened to Shiela...my guess is that she dies, since the Boston Herald also mentioned that she took out a new life insurance policy, which puts more heat on Tommy. If that's true, then Shiela will live on as a ghost.

Janet has the baby and Tommy is forced to take care of it because Janet appears to have developed postpartum depression from the pregnancy (ironically, my wife is going thru the same shit!) and has no desire to take care of the kid at the moment. She also doesn't care for Colleen, who is into drugs and sex with her older boyfriend.

Tommy has many flings this season also...including one with a new female firefighter who saves Tommy's life in a fire.

The guys in the firehouse all think Tommy will be sent to prison, so they're trying to get a new basketball court built instead of a street hockey rink that Tommy and Probie wants. The Boston Herald also kinda hints that Chief Reilly dies or is in really bad shape. Which may be the reason why we see Chief "Needles" Nelson, played by none other than Adam Ferrara, as either the new chief or another temporary chief.

[HummerTuesdays]

Not quite off guard now, is it? :icon_mrgr

I've now marked the start date on my calendar. I realized the new season was starting, just forgot which week. Thanks!

[TreeFortRichard]

can't wait...that crazy bitch burned tommy!

[Perch1019]

Anyone who has Cablevision in NY go to channel 652 which is the FX preview channel. Theres some cool shit including a behind the scenes thing.

[supers4972]

The new season looks like its going to be great.

[HummerTuesdays]

Bump, even though it starts tomorrow.

[highway23]

whew...I was wondering why I didn't see it on for tonight...

Tomorrow!

[Bud8Weiser]

Tonight. Tonight, tonight, tonight. Its starts tonight!:icon_mrgr

[RandomNY]

Hey all getting in here early....Now that the crap of the last Sopranos is out of me, I'm have been jonsing for Rescue Me...

Can we get this thread sticky?

[highway23]

should be stickied for sure...but it'll stay floating on the top either way

[turkyman]

It's on!

[RandomNY]

Here we go...

[Jimmy's Dignity]

"Guys....guys I don't think I'm bi anymore"
:haha7: :haha7:

man, I missed so much of season 3

[highway23]

she's the hottest rapist ever :)

[turkyman]

"it smells like Christmas in here"

[Jimmy's Dignity]

hahahahha, I forgot all about the fact that this guy keeps saying N*****


"Make it fast...I'm dyin' here"

He's the besssssst.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

hahaha, the porn freak sister...I love it

Christ, why didn't Season 3 come out on DVD yet?

[turkyman]

It did...last week. I think it's $30 on Amazon

[RandomNY]

License to not be funny

[Jimmy's Dignity]

It did...last week. I think it's $30 on Amazon

rock, it's now #1-4 on my Netflix

[RandomNY]

Thanks Hank Hill

[turkyman]

I can't see this chief lasting very long

[RandomNY]

Wow

[Jimmy's Dignity]

whoa...that I did not see coming....

[turkyman]

Holy shit...WTF?!?!

[turkyman]

gotta be a dream

[RandomNY]

whoa...that I did not see coming....


I was almost going to joke that David Chase directed and wrote this episode since it was moving so slow...

[Jimmy's Dignity]

holy shit....I totally thought that was a dream sequence

[highway23]

jesus...

[turkyman]

Of all the "Hollywood" style fire scenes throughout all the seasons, that one had to be among the most unrealistic ever.

[RandomNY]

Is there going to be an advertisement for a movie a straight guy would watch?

[RandomNY]

I can't wait for the next season on Nip/tuck

[turkyman]

He's baaaack

[RandomNY]

Wow that hour went by really quick...

[doc]

OK.... is she dead or what?

[turkyman]

So, are Tommy and Sheila in agreement about a scam, or is she still fucking with his alcohol blackouts?

[RandomNY]

Good night all

[turkyman]

See ya next week

[Warfarer]

Go ahead and sticky this mother fucker, it will grow fast. I missed the first 30 minutes and am about to catch up on it now, but the last 30 minutes was great.

[Begbie]

It's gonna be a great season. I can't wait.

Sex in a church?! That's grounds for cancellation!

[sniper]

I'm really excited for the newest Harry Potter flick :D

she's gotta be fucking with him, I don't think Tommy is that dumb to willingly go along with an arson fraud...

Sex in a church?! That's grounds for cancellation!
I wonder if he was going for 2? "whaa"
jennifer espisito has a huge dumper
I can't wait to just post pictures of her all over in here

[Begbie]

At least Paul Mercurio wasn't there. :icon_wink


What I'm wondering is if Sheila did actually die and she's now one of Tommy's ghosts, but we won't know about it until later in the season...ala Sixth Sense. It's a direction they could go, but I don't think it's likely.

[Bud8Weiser]

jennifer espisito has a huge dumper

That was a beautiful sight.

[FattyPneumonia]

I saw all of last year, but I am a little confused. The girl who wok eTommy up from the bad dream and demanded a date, who was that again? At first I thought they changed the actress who ***** Tommy, but then they showed her at the end.

So who is that chick again? Thanks!

[Sack of Chisels]

Terrific start.

I wanna eat that chick firefighters ass.

It looks like she's part of the untold result to last season's cliffhanger. We were left with Tommy and Sheila passed out in the house fire. Apparently, they were rescued (or at least he was) by a female volunteer FF. So, he must have said he owes her dinner for the save and she's trying to get him to follow through on his deal.

Ahh thaaaaaaaaank you. I thought they meant that Sheila had rescued Tommy, so that is what threw me off.

[Gonzoid]

This show is getting a little goofy/soap opera-ish. Still funny as all hell, but the realism of the first season is right out the window.

[Sack of Chisels]

um what was with that stupid abrupt ending, or am I missing something?

[MikeHimself]

um what was with that stupid abrupt ending, or am I missing something?

i no thats what i thought. how can they end it just like that without getting his daughter?

[mendozathejew]

i no thats what i thought. how can they end it just like that without getting his daughter?

yeah thats pretty atypical of the show to end it like that. I thought for a minute they were setting up tommy to get burned by sheila, her convincing tommy to tell a story then shed completely contradict it. but who knows now

[VMS]

I don't care. That "Spank Bank" scene was fucking awesome. Just catching up on my DVR and I'm laughing my ass off right now.

[FattyPneumonia]

So I guess the episode proved that Sheila is not dead. She was making out with some guy, and other people did talk about her. She was not seen talking to anyone really directly except for Tommy, but I guess she is alive. She even said that was the dude who saved her life who she was making out with. But who knows, they could still swerve us or something.

[Carl Spackler]

She was not seen talking to anyone really directly except for Tommy, but I guess she is alive.

I coulda swore she talked with Tommy's lawyer (cousin Eddie).

It seems like they aren't doing much in the firehouse anymore. Both episodes they went on 1 call each and spent minimal time in the house together. Most of it were off on eachothers seperate story lines.

[Warfarer]

i no thats what i thought. how can they end it just like that without getting his daughter?

I think this was so that they can spend some time on Tommy beating the boyfriends ass to start next week's episode. Imagine having a firehouse of guys walk in and tell you that his daughter is coming home and to stay away from her.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

FUCK!!!! I fuckin forgot it was on last night

[RandomNY]

Hey all we have 10 minutes before backup...

[Warfarer]

I hope Tommy kicks his ass and she comes out naked.

[Warfarer]

Colleen might have been even hotter in those lil' low rider jeans with the sparkly belt...

[Bunny™]

that's definitely going into my bank.

[Warfarer]

holy fuck. chief just killed himself?

[sniper]

WTF!@#%^ no fucking way that just happened!!!!

[RandomNY]

It does look like it.. I hope he didn't...

[Monstercloud]

Holy fucking shit man... what the fuck? I knew the chief was depressed, BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT...

[RandomNY]

Wow no mention of the Chief in the preview...

Later all

[Begbie]

Damn, I didn't see that coming! And I should have...it seemed like he was trying to make good with his son and the guys in the firehouse. Damn, I'm shocked.

[Monstercloud]

Two weeks and they tease NOTHING about his death!?

COCKSUCKERS! ALL OF THEM!

[FattyPneumonia]

Damn that was rough. I liked the chief.
I guess they are off next week because of the 4th.

[doc]

Holy shit.

This show just never stops kicking you in the gut. I just want someone on this show to be happy. The Chief was a great character.

[MikeHimself]

janet is really a cunt. she doesn't stop pissing on tommy no wonder they have problems.

[mendozathejew]

janet is really a cunt. she doesn't stop pissing on tommy no wonder they have problems.

her character is a real cunt. her whole problems with tommy started after 9/11, cause inexcusably a firemen might be distraught after that. I guess the character is supposed to irk the viewer

[chumpy]

Damn, I didn't see that coming! And I should have...it seemed like he was trying to make good with his son and the guys in the firehouse. Damn, I'm shocked.


Hell, I thought he was getting ready for a date or something. I knew the flashes back and forth were gonna lead to something, but I never expected that.

[Perch1019]

fuck the daily news and fuck the post. they can't put the goddamn sports scores in the paper for a night game but a spoiler for a tv show isn't a problem. fucking cunts

[FattyPneumonia]

The USA Today did the same thing yesterday. They said not to miss how the Chief handles his job situation. So near the end, I thought he was taking it really well until the little montage at the end. I figured then that something was up. Fuck TV people.

ya during the montage at the end i knew something was going to happen but i didn't think he was going to off himself i thought he was going to drop dead of a heart attack...guess thats what you do when you have a gay son :action-sm

[Sack of Chisels]

holy shit just watched it. after the spoiler talk on the show today i was expecting something, but still holy shit that was out of nowhere.

[flyerfan116]

Loved it...was not expecting that...thought he was gonna die of a heart attack or something, butit really fits his character...hate to see the cheif go but it truly does fit...no way he was gonna be able to handle being a desk jockey, so he cleaned up all his affairs, mended the fences with his son, made sure his wife would be taken care of and ended himself.

And the fucking thing i love about this show is that they showed it with no apology....alot of networks would have either pulled the episode or at least posted a disclaimer with all the media news on the Benoit family...but not Rescue Me..balls to the wall, end it with a suicide

oh yeah and did anything big happen when Mikey found out his mom died? Thunderstorm knocked out the power for about a minute but i had to re-boot the cable box to get it working

[FattyPneumonia]

Nothing really happened when his Mom died. Mike just sort of apologized for not killing her, because she died on her own before he could give her the overdose of morphine.

[Mesothelioma]

Hell, I thought he was getting ready for a date or something. I knew the flashes back and forth were gonna lead to something, but I never expected that.


i kept trying to find the parallel between the chief getting ready and tommy getting beaten up by his daughter's boyfriend.

definitely didn't see it coming

[NortonsSTD]

After the season premier one of the people at the cast party said something to the effect of "hope you aren't too attached to any of the main characters" So, of course every episode so far I've been waiting for the big kill off. The entire episode while I was watching the chief, all I could think of was Brooks from Shawshank. They did a decent job of hiding the suicide, but I have to say, I saw it coming a mile away thanks to the fucker at the premier party blowing it...

On a side note, Leary bangs every ten minutes last season. This season he has one of the hottest chicks (to me) in Hollywood, Jennifer Esposito, and he won't bang her.....c'mon Leary.....what's up?

[mikeybot]

It was the whole putting on a good act thing. Tommy was pretending to get the shit kicked out of him while the Chief was pretending that he was ok with the desk job and the entire commitment ceremony. Definitely a shocker.

Thanks for 'splainin' it. I didn't get that connection either.

But they - also kept flashing to cunt wife Janet and the baby. I was terrified she was going to do something to the baby. I was freaked.

Yeah, I hate to see the Chief go too. He was a great character.

Geez - how many gay themes can this show go through? They seem to effortlessly cover the whole hetero-guys-squemishness with it - while at the same time showing it in a (dare I say) positive light. The whole thing with Mikey is hilarous. The chief dealing with his son's lifestyle completely serious (and pretty realistic).

Consistently one of the better shows on TV.

As for Tommy and the female firefighter - they're just building up to it. Teasing it. He'll be banging her soon enough.

[NortonsSTD]

But they - also kept flashing to cunt wife Janet and the baby. I was terrified she was going to do something to the baby. I was freaked.



When she was at the end of the bed holding the baby, alone, and the little fella was crying, I though a M*A*S*H moment was coming for sure.

i was thinking more of a Benoit moment

[Cromwell]

i was thinking more of a Benoit moment

That's what I was getting at - and yeah, it gave me the "freak chills".

After Tommy's son got killed last season - I wouldn't put it past them to go there.

[Palerider4146]

Fucking best show on TV. Not one tease about the suicide. Most shows/networks would have ruinnnneedd it. I will say this, I thought he was just going to die of a massive heart attack while looking in the mirror. I thought it would be kind of ironic with him taking care of himself, looking forward to playing golf, etc. Well the fucking writers gave me a big "fuck you!".

2:1 odds, we see Garritty playing golf with Chiefs clubs.

[DC Chick]

Should've seen it coming when the Chief said he fixed Gavin's problems at headquarters. By the time the montage started I figured out how it would end. Just like some old people can't live without one another, some people can't live without their jobs.

Did you notice that Peter Tolan plays Chief Pecher? If you like behind the scenes stuff, the actor who played Chief Reilly doesn't like Denis Leary (http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/portal/site/TelevisionWithoutPity/menuitem.766266d5c663f366b180b41045001d30/?vgnextoid=9cf4cf35cbf63110VgnVCM1000006dc1d240RCR D&vgnextfmt=default&ShowName=Mondo%20Extras). Speaking of Leary, why hasn't he been on O+A to promote season 4? I'd be annoyed, but Adam Ferrara was on and he always kills.

If that interview is at all accurate, it is kind of interesting. But there is always 3 sides to the story, Leary's, chief's, and the truth.

It is nice to see Adam getting some more face time. Should be interesting seeing the house with a new young chief and all that goes with that.

[Palerider4146]

http://imdb.com/title/tt0381798/quotesBTW, check out some of the quotes on IMDB. This really is one of the funniest, well written comedies in a long time. God bless FX for having the balls to put this on.

I loved when rogan was on o and a the first time he talked about joke thieves, and that show mencia was on said rogan cowered when leary challenged him and rogan responded, "whats he gonna do, cough on me?"

Although Rogan is a smallish guy, he's a fucking beast. Really built and does train in MMA. I would see Leary dying of a Heart Attack early in round 2.

Hey all :)

[mendozathejew]

why does jennifer espisito hide her lovely round ass?

What a great opening...

"He used up all his brave in the Bronx."

[Warfarer]

why does jennifer espisito hide her lovely round ass?
She is tremendous. A chick that looks like that and can fix my truck? Where can I find one of those?

[blinkdmb]

I was honestly feeling like the episode didn't really acomplish anything....When it ended I was like what the fuck where is the rest.......I love this show though, can't wait to see more

[Bud8Weiser]

When Tommy was going off about how brave the chief was, did anyone else notice that when he yelled at Sean they edited something out? I watched the replay at 11 but couldn't make it out. Did they try and slip a fuck by?


I had also read that the chief was not happy about being killed off. He was saying that Leary didn't even have the balls to come tell him what they were doing. It was also said in the same article by Leary that he's not gone. Like everyone else that dies, they are still on the show in some form. Although you sure don't see his kid or his brother Johnny much.

Holy shit does that piss me off! I want to know what Denis did there.
I invest the time to watch the show because I appreciate the talent of the artists I choose to watch. I want them to be able to do anything they choose, and let the audience sort it out rather than the censors.

It's time for a pissed off group with a fortune to spend to start a new broadcast industry. O&A, Imus, and R&F are a good foundation. New radio stations, TV news, everything.
Fuck trying to fix what exists, reinvent it.

It was the best scene of the show. I betcha Leary dropped a "fucking" but instead of them reshooting teh scene, they figured to just take that part out.

[GDRC]

Why is Ernie Boch Jr. the coach of the Finest?

[Palerider4146]

So if that baby survives the season without a a Susan Smith car ride or a Andrea Yates bath, I'll be shocked.

How fucking great is it that the baby is 7 months old and they havnt named it yet.

Again last night proved why this show is one of the best well written, non apologetic shows out there.

I agree that it is very funny, has some of the best dialogue on TV and is completely unapologetic...however, the storylines have gotten very soap opera-ish and outlandish the past 2 years. Now we can add post-patrem depression/mixed with mother's alcoholism and/and possible baby theft from Sheila to the list of every other sensationalitic storyline out there they have done as well. The show used to be rooted in some sort of reality...now it is Melrose Place set in a NYC Firehouse.

That is really funny!

[Palerider4146]

I agree that it is very funny, has some of the best dialogue on TV and is completely unapologetic...however, the storylines have gotten very soap opera-ish and outlandish the past 2 years. Now we can add post-patrem depression/mixed with mother's alcoholism and/and possible baby theft from Sheila to the list of every other sensationalitic storyline out there they have done as well. The show used to be rooted in some sort of reality...now it is Melrose Place set in a NYC Firehouse.

Well with the exception of the potential baby theft by shelia (although with this friggin show, it just fits the bill) things like post partum depression and mother's alchoholisms are the type of things that these guys will deal with in real life. There are more men dealing with crazy wives after pregnancy than you realize, and how these guys deal wth it is actually somewhat interesting.

[RandomNY]

Anyone out there? :)

[mendozathejew]

hey random

[RandomNY]

Line of the night:

Tommy: Hey have you ever skated on anything besides a charge?

[worob]

The one thing I like about this season is that they are slowly moving along the storylines. Unlike other seasons where a storyline would only take an episode or two this season is progressing slowly. My problem with this is that alot of the storylines this year aren't as interesting as some of the others from the previous seasons. But I will still be watching every week that is for sure.

That is why I love this show. Completely unapologetic. Hell they even call him Black Sean.

Gotta agree with you there. For some reason Im just not feeling it this season. I think losing the dynamic between Tommy and Johnny has really hurt the show this year. I also could care less about Franco and his girl or the basketball probie. Still love the show and watch every week without fail but this is definitely a down year, IMO, at least so far.

Well, it looks like this show deals with it by giving the baby to his crazy sister in law.

The Jewish Captain is hilarious throwing in Yiddish every othe rword.

[Vic Mackey]

Seeing Artie Lange without a shirt on was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life. He made Kenny look like Mr. Atlas.

[Mindslayer]

Oh, yea, Artie is definitely going down the Chris Farley road, and unfortunately it'll probably end the same way, too.

[RandomNY]

Hello all :)

[Warfarer]

uh. did that lady just chunk two negro children away from the lift?

[sniper]

Holy shit what an opening scene......

[GDRC]

uh. did that lady just chunk two negro children away from the lift?

They were already dead.

[turkyman]

Unbelievable scene and great speech by the chief. Luckily, I have never had to deal with that situation yet.

[Warfarer]

Can I buy one of the FDNY tshirts that Tommy wears because that thing is sick?

[RandomNY]

Ummm good I was sick of that stupid story line anyway.

[Mindslayer]

Which storyline is that ?

[RandomNY]

The guy with the shrine to Tommy the whiny a-hole.

[Monstercloud]

Good Luck, Baby

[GDRC]

Is Tommy going to drown a child? Find out next week!

[RandomNY]

Night all :)

[GDRC]

From the previews making it seem too obvious, I doubt he drown the baby.

[Mindslayer]

No way he drowned the baby, if only because of all of the heat they got from last season's **** episode. Murdering an innocent baby would be just too much, even for this show.

With that said, the obvious choice would be to give the baby to Sheila, but something tells me he didnt do that. He probably gave it to Needles wife to watch until he can think of what to do with him permanently.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

I think he should drop it off with his slut daughter. Make her deal with it, until she realizes how bad the real world sucks and comes home.


That, or take it to a Home Depot, and throw the fucker in a paint shaker thingy.

[Vic Mackey]

Goddamn is this show depressing this year.

[Cromwell]

Goddamn is this show depressing this year.

I agree.

I am hating this whole "abuse the baby inuendo" storyline.

That said - the opening firefighting scene was great.

[Mindslayer]

Like I said in a previous post, Im just not feeling it this year. Im not sure what it is, but the show is definitely missing something this season.

[Vic Mackey]

Like I said in a previous post, Im just not feeling it this year. Im not sure what it is, but the show is definitely missing something this season.

Exactly, still love the show. But there really isn't any comic relief this year.

[kidconnor]

1/2 hour before tonight episode and if not tuning in to see what happens to the baby there isn't really much else going on. Thinking back seems everyone is going to be single again (nuns gone, spanish isn't getting married, Tommy's sister is out) So everyone is back to square one, hanging onto the job.

I'm guessing Leary is setting it up to be one big finale.. with him either leaving or getting killed off. Even with something "missing", next to entourage, it's still one of the best on TV.

[GDRC]

Here we go.

[RandomNY]

Hey all :)

[LiddyRules]

Nunbitch is hot.

[Warfarer]

So he really gave him to Sheila, I thought he was saying it to make her realize she wanted him.

[RandomNY]

Ok scratch that I doubt it was a dream Tommy was having..

[Warfarer]

he needs to just let that cunt go. I know he wants his daughter but jesus is she depressing.

[LiddyRules]

The beginning of this episode and last episode had the emotional relevance that was missing from the rest of the wheel-turning season.

[RandomNY]

Ok so this is Tommy's guilt really fucking with him right?

Sounds like E-rocks scream

[Kris_LTRMa]

Tommy's hallucinating, right? He's gonna wake up from an alcohol induced coma or something?

[Monstercloud]

Ok so this is Tommy's guilt really fucking with him right?

Obviously

[Warfarer]

Now I am believing that all this is a dream and he will wake up next to the river.

[Monstercloud]

Now I am believing that all this is a dream and he will wake up next to the river.

Dream would of ended quicker, and they already did previews that the guys were talking about what his wife did to him.

[RandomNY]

What a shock a cheap jew..

[RandomNY]

Good to see David Wright working a second job delievering Vitamin Water since he only made $20 million when Coke bought VW...

[LiddyRules]

I know it's early but I'm not liking this Chief's daughter subplot.

[RandomNY]

why? I'm ambilvant(sp?) on it right now.

[Mindslayer]

Well, if it follows the usual Rescue Me formula than the Chief's daughter will turn out to be unbelievably hot and throw herself at Tommy within minutes.

[RandomNY]

Ok so she is Fezzie right?

[Warfarer]

I don't believe that you are right on that one Mindslayer. Is that the woman that plays Jeri on Strangers with Candy?

[RandomNY]

Niiiccceeee

[Warfarer]

Everytime I see the rescue me website promo at the end I think of the line when Sean walks in and asks "can I ask you guys a stupid question? and Lou just says "better than anyone I know". I love that scene.

[Mindslayer]

I don't believe that you are right on that one Mindslayer. Is that the woman that plays Jeri on Strangers with Candy?



Yea, that's her.


And I was kind of right with Gina Gershon thrown into the mix there... ;)

[RandomNY]

Good night all

[Warfarer]

my comment was pre-Gina.

[LiddyRules]

why? I'm ambilvant(sp?) on it right now.

Well, if it follows the usual Rescue Me formula than the Chief's daughter will turn out to be unbelievably hot and throw herself at Tommy within minutes. Exactly. And it happened again with Gershon. I like the show but i'm tired of the Tommy Girls going no recently. It should get back to his demons and the firefighters and the family. It just seems as though they don't know what to do so just parade more chicks for him.

[Mindslayer]

Yea, that's always been one of my least favorite aspects of the show. I knew they'd get back to it eventually even though it looked like they were going away from it early this season.

[Wilmington WOW]

uh yeah, we were supposed to believe that tommy was gonna throw the baby in the the river?

[krisko]

now he has a stigmata...talk about almost spilling my dinner watching him funger that hole in his hand (don't be dirty)

[Razor Roman]

I miss "The Job". It was the besssssssssst.

[Mindslayer]

Well at least alot of the actors from The Job are on Rescue Me.

[Warfarer]

Howdy all. It's Gina time.

[mendozathejew]

I hate tommy's wife a little more every week

[RandomNY]

Hey guys :)

[RandomNY]

She is 45 years old? WOW

[mendozathejew]

he should have just jacked off on her

[RandomNY]

Here's some banana juice if I can't touch you ohh!!!!

Andrew Tommy Gavin DICE

[RandomNY]

Her brother that yells the "N" word is the only reason I like her storyline..

[mendozathejew]

franco's storylines are just weird and have no logic. not always in a bad way but still

[RandomNY]

Great words from Espo

[Warfarer]

You don't have the decency to hit me up for a place to crash? What kind of selfish prick are you?

Great line.

[RandomNY]

It's time for him to go anyway... ESD would be a perfect replacement..

[RandomNY]

Later I'm gone

[Mindslayer]

franco's storylines are just weird and have no logic. not always in a bad way but still

Agreed. At one point it seemed like they were actually trying to develop his character, back when he was banging the female firefighter a couple of years ago. Then once she left he went back to the womanizing Franco, then just as quickly he was in love with the crazy afro chick he's with now. Theyre also not consistent at all with his feelings for his daugher, either.

I think they are doing this cuz they are setting up for him to die this year, if ya think about it, he has no wife or anything now that the afro chick dumped him, it doesnt leave any questions about his daughter now that whats her name is back in NYC with his daughter and taking care of her. they are setting it up for him to die.

[Palerider4146]

What was funnier than Lou smacking Garritty when he asked who Steve McQueen was?

Hmm, I hadnt thought about that. Guess its definitely a possibility since Daniel Sunjata seems to be branching out, what with The Bronx is Burning and all.

[ShooterMcGavin]

I just spent 3 days.

Watching every single episode up to this point.

Stupid addicting TV shows.

Oh well, at least now I'm caught up. Denis Leary's character rules.

[Mindslayer]

How many more episodes are left this season ? Two or three ?

[ShooterMcGavin]

How many more episodes are left this season ? Two or three ?

4 I think.

Episode 10 is next,

then 11,12,13

[Mindslayer]

Ok, cool, thnx.

[LiddyRules]

Anyone here for the show tonight?

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Anyone here for the show tonight?

Reporting for doodie, sir.

edit: could they get rid of Artie, already?

[LiddyRules]

Reporting for doodie, sir. Oooo, I have power now. Bwahahhaahhahah

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Oooo, I have power now. Bwahahhaahhahah

Well, apparently, you rule.

I was hoping the slut would end up with the kid, teach her some responsibility, etc.

I missed most of last week's episode due to being passed the fuck out.

[LiddyRules]

I was hoping the slut would end up with my cockFixed

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Fixed

Thanks for the thought and all, but I'm thinking I'd need to hit her with a brick first. I hate cunty cunts like her.

Who am I kidding, though? I've fucked women that even Wheelchair Fred would break a land-speed record trying to escape from.

[LiddyRules]

I hope 3:10 to Yuma is good. It's on my fantasy movie list. But the original was great. Though Crowe and Bale, those are two great actors, and it is Rated R which gives me more than a passing interest in it.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

I dunno, I saw the preview for it a couple months back, and thought it looked terrible. But, again, I was REALLY wrong thinking Superbad was going to suck.

Who the fuck names their kid "Latrina". Latrine-a? Really?

[LiddyRules]

Was it just me or did the guy who worked with Tommy's wife (the tall guy) sound a lot like Tommy's dead cop brother

[LiddyRules]

Maybe because I'm bored with this muddling season but the GIna Gershon subplot bugs.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Maybe because I'm bored with this muddling season but the GIna Gershon subplot bugs.

Yeah, what REALLY has happened this season? I thought we were supposed to see a lot of characters die....

[FattyPneumonia]

This has been a weird season. I really want to kill Tommy's daughter, she is a real bitch. I still love the show, it just seems a little off this year.

[ShooterMcGavin]

Can I fuck her before you do?

The character that annoys me the most is stupid Sheila. I suppose that's the reaction the show wants from people, but seriously, crazy fucking bitch. I hope they kill her off soon.

[Sack of Chisels]

another stupid cliffhanger ending with tommy stuck in a precarious position?

[Gonzoid]

It's been a very weak season overall.

Bring on "Its Always Sunny in Philly!"

[Mindslayer]

At least Sheila doesnt pretend to ba anything she isnt. She's an unhinged obsessive psycho.

Janet, on the other hand, is a complete hypocrite cuntrag who I absolutely cannot stand. Speaking of which, I love how all of a sudden she has this great job when a few episodes back she was home with the kid and a depressed mess. WTF ? If its one thing I hate about this show its the glaring inconsistencies with the characters from week to week.

[LiddyRules]

The new theory is that Tommy is in a coma from last season's fire. It would explain a number of things that seem wrong this season.

[Mindslayer]

Interesting. Is this a theory of yours or something youve read somewhere ?

And if that's the case, is the Chief still alive ?

[LiddyRules]

Something I read somewhere else (specifically, the televisionwithoutpity forum (http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?showtopic=3130552&st=3960&#entry8695494) on Rescue Me). They make damned good points about this issue with symbolism and everything.

[Mindslayer]

If they do decide to use this plot device then Id assume it probably wont be revealed until the finale, no ?

[LiddyRules]

Presumably

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Damnit. Sissies.

[Mindslayer]

What was the reasoning behind Tommy wearing that other fireman's jacket and not wanting to be seen rescuing those people at the end ? I was talking to my sister and missed the conversation between him and Lou.

[LiddyRules]

I know this sound weird but was Amy Sedaris kind of hot tonight?

[mendozathejew]

Janet, on the other hand, is a complete hypocrite cuntrag who I absolutely cannot stand.

yeah janet is complete garbage as a person. I have to imagine the character is supposed to illicit hate. they have to want you to hate the bitch. why else write a character who dips out on a marriage after 9/11 cause she couldnt/wouldnt deal the emotional trouble that caused people? the character just has no heart in that sense of sticking by your people when things get hard

she bails out everytime

[AssOrgy]

What was the reasoning behind Tommy wearing that other fireman's jacket and not wanting to be seen rescuing those people at the end ? I was talking to my sister and missed the conversation between him and Lou.

I heard the conversation and I have the same question.

[Warfarer]

He stole that guy's jacket because they were on a three day drinking bender I believe is what Lou said in the firehouse. Something about celebrating a 35th birthday. Tommy knew that none of them could get it done.

[CringeRadioWanted]

I heard the conversation and I have the same question.

I think he was just trying to cover for the other guys on the truck (because they were drunk, and that's why he was on a job with none of his own gear, on an off-shift). Plus, the new Chief already thinks he's nuts and/or a fire-follower, and he doesn't need an excuse to transfer him.

By the way, 2 more episodes???? WTF??? This season has been SO up and down. I know that there had to be a transition from the incredible last season, to start some new path, but everything seems kinda disjointed, and I don't know why. Gina Gershon is a distraction, Franco is just annoying all of a sudden, and even Garrity isn't as funny with the current "i'm an alcoholic, too" storyline.

It just seems unfocused. Last season revolved around the central issue that brought the show about in the first place: 9/11, and all of the emotions wrapped up in that. This season doesn't have anything holding it together.

[Mindslayer]

Yea, this season has been a disjointed mess.

And I thought I was the only one who thought Amy Sedaris looked hot. Glad Im not alone.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

By the way, 2 more episodes???? WTF???

Two more? Shit, I thought it said "one more" after the previews.

[Mindslayer]

It said 'one more' until the season finale.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Why would his coma have subplots?

[Palerider4146]

I know this sound weird but was Amy Sedaris kind of hot tonight?


haha, I was kind of on the same page as you there, she wasnt half bad looking. She reminds me of this nurse I work with that I want to fuck the crazy right out of her.

[EvilMonkey71]

I'm still trying to figure out why he's living in a hovel and ditched the Escalade. Is this his symbolic "penance" for selling the baby?

[LiddyRules]

Why would his coma have subplots? Part of the theory is that it's part Tommy's coma/part real world or that people are by Tommy's hospital bed telling him things going on in "real" life and it's influencing his dream.

[Palerider4146]

BTW,did anyone catch what the Chiefs daughter said when she was leaving, I believe she said "I'll see you at home". You gotta love bipolar chicks.

[Plunkies]

Part of the theory is that it's part Tommy's coma/part real world or that people are by Tommy's hospital bed telling him things going on in "real" life and it's influencing his dream.

My point was it's a stupid, hopeful theory by someone who didn't like the current season and wants a do-over. I don't think even the worst writer in the world would pull some hack, dream sequence, wizard of oz bullshit on an ENTIRE season. Even that dumb scene at the start of the last episode where he's in the empty firehouse and goes out back to find everyone dead had me rolling my eyes within the first 10 seconds of that predictable horseshit.

Yeah this season has been kinda all over the place.

But I think it's hilarious how Sean wants to be an alcoholic so he can be accepted by the Gavins.

Also, they really need to get rid of Mikey. That needy little douche has been killing the vibe of the show.

[Mindslayer]

It looks as if they are trying to slowly faze Mike out of the show. The introduction of Black Shawn and then benching Mike with a broken leg for half the season seems to indicate that theyre looking to write him out. I thought for sure that this was the case when he was toying with suicide, and for a minute I thought that he was actually going to do it when he kept calling everyone and they all brushed him off (except Tommy, of course).

Or this marginalizing of his character could simply be that the actor needed time off to film another project or whatever. Guess we'll find out more once the season ends.

[SOS]

Adam Ferrara will be on today or in the coming weeks.

[Warfarer]

I hate this black woman and Lou, I hope he beats her to death.

Ummm.... did you forget Dallas? One whole season wasted on a "dream".

If Tommy is in a coma, and if this entire season was a figment of his comatose mind, does that mean his brother might not be dead either?

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Wow, do those previews for the finale make me think it's going to be a waste of time.

Oh, cool. It's replaying now instead of at Midnight. I can see the first 35 minutes now.

[hehateme]

I just saw the first episode in a month, and I'm pretty convinced that he's either dead or in a coma....something's been off this entire season, and now after what I saw tonight, I'm a little more convinced that he's not there physically.

[Sack of Chisels]

What was the point of this ending tonight? I thought Tommy was just sneaking into the fires with Jimmy's jacket on to freak out the drunk guys to stop them from drinking on the job? He accomplished that yet he's still doing it, what gives?

[mendozathejew]

What was the point of this ending tonight? I thought Tommy was just sneaking into the fires with Jimmy's jacket on to freak out the drunk guys to stop them from drinking on the job? He accomplished that yet he's still doing it, what gives?

I missed the original of this storyline so I need an explanation as well. without seeing how it started its seemed like Tommy hasnt been active in going out on calls, so he was sneaking on

[LiddyRules]

After tonight's further confusing episode, I am buying into that limbo theory more and more.

[hehateme]

Any bets on whether the last scene next week is of Leary in a hospital bed, horrifically burned, and either his eyes opening, or a sheet being pulled over his head?

[FattyPneumonia]

I am leaning toward him being in a coma, or he has been getting drunk again. Maybe these weird and strange things are what he is seeing/thinking when he is drunk. I know this show is over the top, and I love it, but it has been very strange and crazy this year.

The only thing that would make the coma hard to believe is the fact that the subplots are going on as well in his head.

[Mindslayer]

Whatever plot device they end up using this whole season has pretty much sucked.

[EvilMonkey71]

I just saw the first episode in a month, and I'm pretty convinced that he's either dead or in a coma....something's been off this entire season, and now after what I saw tonight, I'm a little more convinced that he's not there physically.

I'm really starting to lean towards this theory at this point with only one episode to go. There is just so many wacky plot points that don't really get explained. This last one with Tommy sneaking into fires is the most recent example. I thought that he was trying to scare the drunk firemen into drying out also as Sack of Chisels mentioned, but now it doesn't appear that's the case.

And does anyone else think the shadowy fireman Tommy has been seeing lately sounds a helluva lot like his cousin Jimmy? The shadowy figure does appear to have longer hair than his cousin did though, which would go along with the coma theory.....it could be Tommy's subconscious, if that makes sense. Perhaps there will be big reveal that it's himself in the finale?

[LiddyRules]

And does anyone else think the shadowy fireman Tommy has been seeing lately sounds a helluva lot like his cousin Jimmy? I thought it sounds like Tommy.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

I thought it sounds like Tommy.

That's what I've been thinking. The first time that guy showed up, I though it sounded like they had Denis Leary try and talk in a lower, deeper voice, and then threw some modulation on it.

It'll probably end up being a burned up version of him, and that revelation will be the last 5 seconds of the season.

[Ovaherenow]

i love the show but this season seems off.

it looks like Lou realized that Tommy might be sneaking into fires....but seriously who cares? I don't care about Mikey's broken leg. I don't care about Lou and the black chick. Artie Lang would've been a nice guest star, but dont' care for him in several episodes. The "family AA" meetings? Don't care. The crazy fresca chick? don't care.
(Edit) I also don't care about Tommy's daughter and the rock star and the baby. There I said it.

I do agree with whoever said that the shadow guy is Tommy all burnt up...i could totally see that.

Every season has a sudden death at the end...or weird twist....wondering what that is going to be.

Show hasn't been the same since Tommy stopped seeing the ghost of his cousin Jimmy.

[Warfarer]

Last one of the season. let's see what happens.

[hehateme]

I fucking...HAAAAAATEEEE Sheila...I'm praying that he's in a coma and she's dead...fucking hate her...

[Kris_LTRMa]

Anybody else as confused now as in the beginning?

[Warfarer]

Pretty uneventful season finale but I have actually enjoyed it.

[mendozathejew]

I dont even have a comment or observation

[Spoondini]

how could any of us not love that his daughter found a boyfriend that will bother him more than a slacker musician... bummer seeing the old man go like that, but kind of touching

[doc]

Let the good times roll....

I hate you Leary. Can't you let Tommy be happy for once?

[hehateme]

pretty major event went down..but still very anticlimatic....doesn't explain the mess that was this season

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

how could any of us not love that his daughter found a boyfriend that will bother him more than a slacker musician... bummer seeing the old man go like that, but kind of touching

Because it was glaringly obvious that it was going to happen the first time he found out it was Tommy's daughter.

Oh, and also because I've hated the egotistical dickwad since he started making demands before he'd join their house.

Yeah, what the hell ever even happened to the shitty basketball storyline, anyway?

The finale would've made a better season premiere. I'm just going to pretend this season never happened and make up my own ending to season 3.

[Begbie]

This was probably the weakest season. But still, even in the weakest of seasons...it remains one of, if not the best thing on TV right now. My opinion of course.

This was the first real peaceful season ending episode...compared to Teddy shooting the drunk driver two seasons ago, Sheila drugging Tommy and burning the house down last season...and Franco's accident and the guys beating Tommy up after they found out about him and Sheila at the end of season 1.

[Sack of Chisels]

Pretty disappointing finale.

Wow, an old guy dies, who saw that coming?

The best part was Franco letting the retards get married to spite natalie.

[Mindslayer]

This season sucked. The writing has always been inconsistent but never more so than this season. The only storyline that had any real consistency and a real resolution was the end of Sean's marriage to Maggie.

As far as Tommy's Dad dying at the end, it was almost as if they threw that in for an afterthought, almost as if they felt that they had to have an obligitory death in the finale.

[Rob]

The best part was Franco letting the retards get married to spite natalie.

x2...

Matt Roush over at tvguide.com rips the finale pretty good here :
