Rescue Me season 6

I was afraid that this would follow the pattern of the previous two seasons where things start off great, then get horrible really fast, then have a bitching finale that requires you to start the new season.

I was wrong. The first episode of this season was not good at all.

Yeah, that was just atrocious. At least 'Louie' was on afterwards.

I can't believe they're not only gonna shovel the same alcoholism song and dance with Tommy, but now they're gonna recycle it with his daughter.

I know they desperately want to limp their way to the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, but they are completely out of ideas for this thing.

No shit. Id rather just have 47 minutes of the guys just bullshitting with each other at the fire house.

Goddamn, that's too bad. There are so many great storylines they could use...shit.

Why didn't Tommy at least beat the shit out of Teddy? Teddy FUCKING SHOT TOMMY TWICE, the least he had coming to him was a good old fashioned irish family beating. I'm hanging on still though. The best parts of the show lately haven't been about Tommy, so while they're less screen time, they're pretty great. Also, if we get another guest spot as good as Michael J Fox gave last season, it's worth it.

Such a waste. And man did they telegraph Franco sleeping with Janet big time or what.

A friend of mine has a theory which, if he's right, really underlines the need to stop watching: Tommy died in the ambulance at the beginning of the first episode and this season is his hell.

Alright, so next weeks scenes make it appear that Lou lives through the episode, but I wonder since the scene it showed just had Tommy and Lou if it's just a put on and he is actually dead. Which would suck, but I would think his ghost haranguing Tommy would finally get him to become a Lt.

I doubt he is dead. I think this season is one of redemption / change. Tommy will end up drying up, Lou will end up getting bypass / lap band / sleeve and slim out, and so on.

Anyone else think it's odd that a show with characters with massive alcohol problems is brought to you by Bud Light and has commercials for Malibu Rum?

The show features two characters guilty of attempted murder with absolutely no legal, relationship or emotional issues or consequences.

I hate giving up on shows, especially ones so near the end, and I love Denis Leary... but this writing is really testing me.

Lou is lying on the floor, looking pretty dead, and a trained EMT casually walks into the break room and says "there's something wrong with Lou."

Why they think the audience continues to care about Tommy's drinking is beyond me -- he should have split with Janet (for good), a long time ago, and the show should have went in a different direction. A show like Breaking Bad makes Rescue Me look juvenile and frivolous.

None of those guys are EMT's. I don't even think they share houses in NY like they do in other cities. All of those guys are firefighters with basic medic training (like, a guy is gushing blood, throw a bandage on it).

I'm a glutton for punishment...I'm still watching.

One thing to like about this season is that they actually added carachter back in for Black Sean. He had turned into another stooge like Garrety and Mikey. Watching him just beating the crap outta Franco was pretty great.

Knowing this show he'll probably be in a coma that he'll make a full recovery from next season.

I thought that too, but in the preview for next weeks episode *spoiler, I guess, for the 4 people other than me still watching* Lou tells his doctor "a guy in our house just died, young kid." And Sheila was doing the lost-her-son-now-too sobbing.

No, he said "We just lost a member of our crew," which isn't quite a death confirmation.

So, I havent watched this season since the horrible first episode. I havent even DVR'd the shit in case I change my mind.

Have I really missed anything good? Judging by the posts in this thread it doesn't seem like it.

I haven't really bothered to catch up with this show save for S5 Vol. 1, which I strictly watched for a review. Sucks, because I used to be its biggest fan.

I'm kind of an "in for a penny, in for a pound"" guy with shows, so I'm still watching. I nearly fall asleep at all of the Tommy moments, which, unfortunately, dominate the show. The stuff in the house, though, is pretty great. The worst part, though, is that there aren't many side character story lines this season, apart from Garrity's cancer buddy, and Lou's health problem just seems tacked on.

I hope there's lots of shots with him drinking and feeling conflicted about his alcoholism! Also, which hot starlet is he putting his dick in this season that isn't Andrea Roth or Callie Thorne, who I'm presuming still plays Sheila the batshit crazy woman that I still really want to rail?

Hmm, none, as I recall. Just some old lady that greatly contributed to him going sober.

Ah, Sheila - my least favorite moment of this entire season/series has to be Tommy apologizing for all the cruel things he did... to the woman who raped him and tried to burn him to death.

Me too. I'm also a sucker for shows aimed at a mature audience - I put up with a little/lot extra when it's balanced by not ducking the sex/profanity/violence/darkness that marks the real world. And I have a hard time quitting shows that have already announced they're ending - it's just a little longer! Maybe it'll end great!

But at this point, I think it's more likely Rescue Me goes down the Nip/Tuck route, and ends so bafflingly, god-forsakenly awful that you are left hoping/wondering if there was a larger statement being made that you're missing.

Yeah, I still hate the fact that Tommy doesn't know that she Viagra'd/roofied him, though I'd gladly take any pills that Callie Thorne handed me as long as us getting to bang was the outcome. Sorry, I had a glass of bourbon before posting this.

No worries - we're with ya (and by "we're" I mean "I'm"). The majority of this season has been giving me deja vu, and that's not a good thing. I find myself constantly checking the clock and then being dismayed that THERE ARE STILL TWENTY MINUTES LEFT. Just way too much focus on the drinking and Shiela/Janet for my tastes, essentially the same shit as the past few seasons. The fact that this show is followed by Louie, which I find relatively unpredictable, is not doing Rescue Me any favors.

I won't believe Damien is dead until they show the gravesite.

As I said above. I'm still sticking with the show. But it would be so much better if it was just them on the job and hanging around at the firehouse with the occasional small look into the personal lives. The banter between the guys has always been the best part of the show.

Damien dying is so obviously symbolic that they might just do it.

Ok, so I just saw the preview for next weeks finale (I missed it the first time around) looks to me like we might get a Tommy/Lou throwdown. Especially with Lou pulling this behind the back bullshit with his doctor.

I honestly can't believe that someone actually wrote that episode, let alone film it. I really don't have the words. Beyond awful.
