A small improvement over the last couple of episodes.

"Fair"

By PabloExobar, Jun 17, 2010

This episode while still was average at best, at least it wasn't season 4 average, which would mean it blows.

The reason Tommy sneaks to fires using Jimmy's uniform is actually unclear to me. But nonetheless, it's quite funny.

The thing with this show is that they drag things to long. Tommy's drinking problem? Come on, it's NOT EXISTING anymore! If he will drink anytime soon, he'll be. But you don't have to remind us every episode that he's sober for X weeks. WE GET IT.

Another issue is that the show introduces too many new characters who basically ADD NOTHING. Remember Nona? The new Chief's daughter? This 2 minute lady? What's the point? Nothing.

I liked the Colleen plot thread in this one, which is rare. Tommy destroying the guitar of the fake baby head guy, well, priceless. What I don't understand is, though, why isn't there any Sheila? For 3 seasons, she was probably used MORE than she was supposed to, but now, she's barely featured. The destruction of Mikey's character continues, he sure as hell seems to be a goner. Shawn, black Shawn, not even worth mentioning.

Overall, there's not much to be said about this episode. It lacked drama, but it had a few funny moments. But the point is, it seemed to actually go somewhere, which is rare with Rescue Me nowadays.

Some speculate that Tommy's dead, or that it's a dream, or whatever... I don't know. Even if that's the case, it doesn't change the fact that this season is weak.moreless

Black Shawn: Yeah, because he's tought you everything you know about being a firefighter and the fact that he's had to save your sorry ass on more than one occation, but deep down, despite the fact that he's an ego-minical self-centered son of a bitch, you wanna be just like 'em. Yeah, you wanna be Tommy Gavin. You wanna be exactly what you hate, and that's some sad shit. Mike: Screw you, Probie! (they get into a fight)
