(Did neither he nor his agent ever watch the show before he auditioned for the role?) TPTB decided to stop writing for his character & eventually brought in some of Tommy's previously unseen siblings to fill the void.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-86898822454240046582009-07-24T14:09:00.250-04:002009-07-24T14:09:00.250-04:00I did not like the reverse intervention scene (tho...I did not like the reverse intervention scene (though it was interesting that Maggie was the only one to resist), but I did enjoy the rest of the ep.

I'll be happy if the quality stays at least as good as it is now, and doesn't drop to season 4 lows.<br /><br />Off topic - for us Kings/Ian MsShane fans, the surprisingly good news is that they have been airing the remaining episodes, which is great. This week looks like the last one (hopefully they'll show it), so I'm hoping I can talk you into one last <i>Kings</i> post.Oaktown Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811331454878606058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-15049067477004777102009-07-22T14:37:01.447-04:002009-07-22T14:37:01.447-04:00I agree that this season has seemed to drag on at ...I agree that this season has seemed to drag on at certain points but I do get some good laughs such as Needle's wife grooming and Tommy swooping out from underneath the truck-priceless. The whole Tommy, Janet, Sheila triangle is beginning to wear on me. However, Sheila's rant in the intro and then bringing out the pills and explaining that she forgot to take them (while explaining which pill does for her) was a small piece of brilliant writing. And Bill's comment about Tommy and his superpowered alcoholic skills drags everyone, except Maggie, into drinking was a bit overdone and not believable. I will still tune in though because it's one of the better done shows on television right now.JanieJonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-16368286584046511222009-07-22T12:29:58.469-04:002009-07-22T12:29:58.469-04:00Tommy the superpowered alcoholic gets Mickey to dr...Tommy the superpowered alcoholic gets Mickey to drink with an offhand remark about David Copperfield, and it's not even treated as a big deal?
