Rescue Me

This is one of my favorite shows on tv. With so many cop dramas out there, it's great to see something different. It combines both drama and comedy together seamlessly. The entire cast is great and was selected very well. I just finished watching the first episode of season 3 and it looks like it's going to be yet another great season.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Last night's opener was great. Finding out that Jimmy was the new guy Janet is dating was a shocker. All hell is gonna break loose when he finds out. But, that moment at the end was powerful. Everyone thinks that Tommy has lost it again and was seeing things, but he was right, and ending up saving a life that everyone has had given up on. Despite all his faults and weaknesses, Tommy is a good guy at his core.

I'm interested to see what happens with Lou. He's fallen on hard times since he got screwed over by "Candy". After he saw that DVD of her, I wonder if he'll try to track her down at some point.

All in all, it was a great opener. And, going by the preview for the entire season, it looksl ike the rollercoaster ride is just beginning.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

heh, the title under your avatar hit the nail on the head, I just didn't think it'd be this soon. Jimmy got the utter living shit beat out of him tonight. Tommy totally snapped when he saw them holding hands under the table. Then, when they got outside, he threw Janet against the car and throws Jimmy through a car window. It was beautiful. He had it comin'. Garrity's gonna get his ass kicked too probably, but not as badly.

Damn man, Lou is really in a bad way right now. All I can say is I hope he finds the bitch that screwed him over.

The whole scene with Susan Sarandon didn't really interest me all that much. It was cool though. Glad to see some cameos on the show. She's a nice addition, I guess.

Next week is looking great as well. Season 3 is shaping up to be the best season yet.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, my bad. I keep getting their names confused. Thanks for clearing that up.

He's one of my favorite characters though, so I hope they don't make him do something that gets him off the show. And as an aside, John Scurti, the actor who plays Lou, has a blog on tvguide.com

I have to agree. The character he plays is one of my favorites too. They'd be crazy to boot him from the show. I'll have to check out his blog.

Rescue Me has a very stellar cast. Right now, it has overtaken The Shield as my favorite show on FX. I like how a lot of the cast either knows the New York area very well or lives there. I recently purchased the first two seasons on DVD and found out while watching some of the bonus features that they also get input from actual NY firefighters to improve on the realism of the show. I think that's really cool.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I thought this week's episode was really good. I agree with you on everything you said, RockgamerX.

Outside of that, the way Tommy is fucking around with Garrity is hilarious. I can't really tell if Tommy actually knows about Garrity and his sister or not. I miised a beginning of the scene where Garrity, Tommy and Franco were sitting at the table. Garrity walks off to avoid Tommy and Franco says something along the lines of "This is more fun than you said it would be." So did I miss something? Did Franco tell Tommy about the whole thing beforehand?

The way Tommy is freezing out Janet is classic. That part where the firefighters get a call and she's just standing there as they leave was awesome.

I found all the songs to be pretty good, even outside of the show (it even has some songs on there that are used in season 3, some from episodes which haven't even aired yet).

If you could upload that sometime, it'd be great. I would love to hear it.
