  • That was like the saddest thing I ever seen, yet I get the feeling that too much have happen recently.

    The look on Tommy's seeing his son coverd in blood on the pavement was just... powerful. There are moments when I feel like crying when I watch touching movie or show and to see the kid pass away at the hospital was one of the. I don't know how to feel about this, I didn't see that coming at all. But that's the thing about drunk drivers, you can have the time of your life and they one of them come and turn it upside down. One of the best things about this series is the characters and I've really got attached to some of them and share some of the pain Tommy is feeling. Janet slap Tommy in the face before she leaves the hospital, and it couldn't be clearer than that - it's over between them. It's not his fault, but I can't blame her for blaming him, I know I would. I really love the show and every episode so far, but now it needs to slow down a bit or it will flip out and spin out of control. I mean, in the last couple of episodes a pedofile priest, and Tommy's newly discouvered half brother, makes one of his victims to blow his brains out and Jerry's wife tries to kill herself and the list goes on.moreless

    This series is about laughter and tragedy. That is what it comes down to. The series is found on the sadness of 9/11. If that had never happened then this series would most likely not exist. That being said it's shocking how much we can laugh with it, even with all the tragedy which continues to occur in the life of Tommy Gavin. The fire crew is shown in one scene laughing and playing practical jokes. The next we're reminded of the Chief's sick wife. One scene we laugh as a rich old women leaves sixty million dollars to her cats. The next we see Tommy's family collapse again, and in more ways than one. What it comes down to is great television which makes us believe we know each character personally. It makes us laugh with them at the high points and feel for them in the low points.moreless

    This show never ceases to amaze me with the depths it will go to. From the promos, I was suspicious of Connor\'s fate, but watching it happen was unlike anything else. Heartbreaking and gut-wrenching, Denis Leary and Andrea Roth delivered Emmy-calibur performances that had me sobbing uncontrollably. Ray Lamontagne\'s beautiful melody was a perfect fit for this scene, and his contributions to this season\'s episodes made me run out and buy his CD, Trouble (which is superb). This episode is Rescue Me at its best: raw, emotional scenes matched with enhancing meddlies that bring the viewer to their emotional knees in both laughter and tears.moreless

    This episode was worth the build-up. The show seemed to be dragging for a bit but the payoff was great. And for those who haven't seen it yet, I won't reaveal anything. All I have to say is I admire this show for having the guts to go where it goes and not hold back. A fine episode that makes you appreciate the FX channel for the quality television it can bring us.moreless
