She is a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed her and Tommy's exchange last night. I remember Maura from "NewsRadio" and I continued to watch ER specifically because she brought something to the table with her struggles as Abby Lockhart.<br /><br />I have felt the compulsory need to stick through this season even though I get irritated at times at the pointless or endlessly dragged out situations, i.e., Janet, Sheila.<br /><br />I felt that last night's episode was better than some had been of late. I was hoping we get to another point with Jimmy's reappearance and Sheila's admittance of his affair. Perhaps I am over analyzing but I think Jimmy may have had an affair with someone Tommy was close to....<br />However, unlike some of his appearances this season, his appearance was bit haunting to me. The subtle appearance on the 9/11 footage and last night were to drive home points to Tommy. <br /><br />I know many people get tired of Sheila and her antics but some very good points were made last night. Tommy, even 24 years ago, was short tempered and angry. Jimmy represented stability. I often wondered when they would (showrunners) would get around to making this point that Jimmy was Sheila's ying to her yang. She required the stability and quiet love from Jimmy because she is the opposite. <br /><br />There are 3 episodes left? I'm hoping for something to happen that will basically tilt the world in the show for a good set-up for next season.<br /><br />One more thing, Lou marrying Candy and signing a prenup made me think she has something up her sleeve. After the revelation at the bar between Lou, Tommy and Needles about her new found money, it made me wonder why she would put him 1) to a test 2) that she would not at least pay Lou back the money she stole from him. <br /><br />However, the show is uneven at times. <br />I was surprised that FX had ordered another 18 eps. or more for next season. I hope next season is more even and starts to wrap up storylines.JanieJonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-57961348885206672122009-08-12T12:10:15.862-04:002009-08-12T12:10:15.862-04:00Love Maura Tierney, so it's a shame she's ...Love Maura Tierney, so it's a shame she's been wasted as another of Leary's masturbatory fantasy women.<br /><br />It's reaching the point now that he just seems to be casting guest actresses so that he can sleep with them.<br /><br />Whenever a well known actress appears, you know exactly what role she will be filling on the show for a couple of episodes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-46776819098206398562009-08-12T10:44:33.402-04:002009-08-12T10:44:33.402-04:00I had given up on Rescue Me a few seasons ago base...I had given up on Rescue Me a few seasons ago based on objections to the show that were similar to the ones Alan has expressed in the past.
