Rescue Me-Season 3 premiere May 30th

[Movies205]

This is Rescue Me. The best. TOMEI! Best possible addition they could've made and next week looks to amp it up.

Oh and I guess that confirms it wasn't a rape.

Does it? Rape isn't that simple and the writing on Rescue Me is pretty top-notch so I doubt they'd use rape for just shock value, they're more than meets the eye to that scene, but perhaps it wasn't rape... perhaps they both wanted it, who knows...

Great Show!

 

[Enzyme]

perhaps they both wanted it, who knows...

Well, seeing as Tommy and Janet have known each other since High School, they can probably read each other really well. Perhaps she wasn't fighting him off hard enough for her to really mean it, so he took that as time to slip it in.

And I think Janet is missing the life Tommy gave her. With Tommy it was non-stop drama, but with Johnny it's a mundane normal existance with the perfect family man. Women are emotional creatures, and being with Tommy is an emotional rollercoaster. Johnny is like riding the bus.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Janet misses Tommy, she wants the "bad boy", you could tell in that scene between Johnny, Janet and the youngest daughter. Johnny was good for a fling, but it's too mundane, like Enzyne said if Tommy is a rollercoaster, Johnny is a merry-go-round. Plus, the danger is gone in that relationship now that Tommy knows, so whatever little edge the relationship had is now gone. I think that's why she began to enjoy the weird rape stuff and came over to Tommy's, she needs the danger.

By the way, loved Tommy's constantly shifting reasoning for keeping the pills.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's pretty obvious that Janet is attracted to the abusive relationship Tommy provided in some weird, twisted way. The creators of the show have said that pretty much everyone in Rescue Me is "broken" in some way. Tommy and Janet are pretty emotionally ****ed up. Sad for them, but it makes for ****ing great television.

 

[Spidey Rules 2]

I didn't get to enjoy the last few minutes of the show (I was distracted), but from what I could tell,

SPOILERS....

Tommy's ex-wife calling him was just a coincidence and the hostess at the resturant was actually calling Tommy's ex (widow to his cousin)? Did I get it right?

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Yes, you got it right. I love Sheila. She's always out there which makes her fun as hell to watch. The final scene with her was classic.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that was great. So perfectly Sheila.

 

[Enzyme]

By the way, loved Tommy's constantly shifting reasoning for keeping the pills.

Maybe I didn't pick up on or forgot about it, but is there a reason Tommy has them in the first place. I remember him taking Franco's Vicodin, and getting Viagra for his Dad, but other than that I can't remember him using anything else. And that was last season.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't recall any specific instances of his taking a lot of pills, either. But I haven't seen the last season in a while.

 

[BATFREDDIE]

Yeah, that was great. So perfectly Sheila.

LOL I watched rescue me this week with my sister because she just happened to be in the room or whatever, and when that part came on she was like "why is that lady so crazy?" Ha ha.
Also, I think when Johnny finds out about the whole rape thing, he's gonna make what Tommy did to him seem like a night out at the buffet.

 

[Decypher]

I doubt it, Tommy would still beat his ass lol

I really was not expecting that last scene with Sheila though

the whole episode was a more light heartend focus on the comedy and then she just flipped out completely

great ending i thought

 

[chosen1]

Man this show is a sleeper.

It was good when it came out but it's awesome

suprisingly has become the best show on TV.

He was also using Janet's prescription too last season, forgot what it was, some form of "happy pills". The first season Tommy was using a lot of pills. He's always had a "problem" with taking pills.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, he was taking the happy pills. Janet kept wondering where they were disappearing to, and Tommy alternated between bugging her to get more and trying to play it off when she wondered why he wanted her to renew her prescription so much. But it seemed like the pills had nothing but positive effects on his life, despite the fact that he was addicted to them.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

That's why they're called happy pills. It makes you ignore the bad stuff.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, but Tommy didn't seem to really have any "bad stuff" going for him while he was taking the pills. He was weird and offputting at work, true, but that's pretty minor. Everything was hunky-dory until Connor got pwned by that drunk driver.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Connor got pwned by that drunk driver.

I just have to quote that, because it's so harsh that it's indescribedly funny.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I was pretty sad when Connor died last season. Amazing what a few months can do to lighten a person up, huh?

 

[Decypher]

I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but as for the pills, weren't they the ones Damien or wutever was selling??

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh yeah, he did take his nephew's pills too.

 

[Superman79]

Yeah, that was great. So perfectly Sheila.

She's gonna kill someone by season's end isn't she? Meanwhile, Marissa Tome's gal (i forget her name right now) is she REALLY not into Tommy, or is she trying to string him along with the "ruse". I missed an ep. or two

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Damn, this show just gets more f'ed up every episode. Sheila is seriously headed down a dangerous path. Janet got one hell of a zinger on Marissa Tomei. At least Garrity and Lou gave us some comedy this episode, Lou is a great babysitter. Also, lesson of the night, always with pay your firefighter barback, otherwise your car my end up 20 feet in the air.

 

[skorponok]

I did a film with Charles Durning who plays Leary's Dad on it recently.

Funniest old man ALIVE...PERIOD.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Another great episode. This show never dissapoints.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I love how this show can constantly outdo itself and become more and more twisted every episode. Anyone else notice how the entire series is kind of taking on a weird, recovering junkie kind of feel now? The first season was all about the characters' falling to their vices, the second was kind of a recovery for most, and now the third seems to be the inevitable fall off the wagon, with Sheila descending to even darker places than before, Tommy dealing with breakdowns, Janet realizing that she's so damaged that she actually craves the abuse Tommy gives her, etc. If Rescue Me isn't nominated for best show at next year's Emmys, I will officially have lost all faith in their nominations committee. This is brilliant stuff.
