This season has easily surpassed the last 2. And it was just about getting back to the basics of the job. <br /><br />The show has been terrific although the fact that there are 16 episodes left kind of worries me. Rescue Me is right behind Lost and Breaking Bad as the best shows on tv.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-59517081246288140842009-05-13T11:26:00.000-04:002009-05-13T11:26:00.000-04:00Very solid ep.

Also a good argument between Tommy and Janet, who's not my favorite character, but I squirm when I see Tommy manhandle her.<br /><br />So sorry to see Tommy take that drink.

I can't believe how much better this season is than season four.<br /><br />I never thought I'd look forward to watching Rescue Me again, but now I do. Great performances all around by the entire cast.dead soulsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-29970521687468625422009-05-13T07:45:00.000-04:002009-05-13T07:45:00.000-04:00I agree--I loved the episode, and thought it had f...I agree--I loved the episode, and thought it had few, if any, weak spots. I thought it was an anti-climactic way to end it though--it seemed like it was just going on to another commercial break. Besides that, no complaint.<br /><br />The show has had plenty of time to make jokes at some of these characters' expense, so I really like that they're showcasing interesting notes in each of them--Black Shawn the fighter (and his concern about telling Tommy his daughter is a slut, which was the best thing coming out of that dumb relationship), to MIke being a mentor and Lou's writing being not total crap and Sean's cancer. It's actually worth watching. I wonder how long they can keep it up?<br /><br />Good stuff. Between this and Scrubs, I feel like I've rediscovered my favorite shows again!erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186483042206438665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-80028381090242210802009-05-12T23:22:00.000-04:002009-05-12T23:22:00.000-04:00I don't get to that part of Manhattan very often, ...<I>I don't get to that part of Manhattan very often, so it's always unsettling to see that hole -- and to realize that there are so many businesses and residences in the area where it's become just another part of the scenery.</I>I was worried they were going to show Tommy losing it against a crowd of tourists at the site. Lord knows every time I'm down there and see some grinning set of rednecks posing for a photo in front of the footprints, I have to suppress the urge to lash out in a blind rage. Tommy would've gone nuclear for sure.<br /><br />But that would've been a cheap bit of drama. I'm glad they took the chance to back off and do the scene from the remove of the bar. And the shot of the couple arguing -- as unaware of the tension of the site as Tommy was keyed into it -- was really nice.<br /><br />Great episode, all around.Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.com
