I knew she looked familiar but never watched the credits so I didn't pick up on who it was. Yeah, she was really underused.

Ok, so the season opener for Rescue me was legitimately awesome, instead of that steamy shit I watch cause I'm a horny creature of habit. Tommy Gavin de-jumped the shark, imo.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes! That rocked.
The ending? I had to watch it twice. Heartbreaking watching the firemen watch that poor bastard stuck in the building.

Best part is that not one second felt tacked-on or thrown in to shock. Which has to be a first since 2005.(I mean, I say it with love, but it's still true.)

Yeah, that was tight. Vast improvement over last season.

Totally. Not passing Wyatt/Elvis/ Plot Device around like a football probably helps, too.

Heh. I think I'd blocked that out.

Finally caught up with the Rescue Me premiere, and agree that the show may have unjumped the shark. I'm mildly concerned they are going for 22 episodes instead of 13, because I fear they won't be able to keep it up for that long without a break. We shall see.
I think I'd blocked that out.
I totally cannot remember what the football's final fate was. Also, at the funeral and the home movies - was that Anthony Michael Hall? Whoever he was, WHO is he? I can't remember him at ALL (the character, I mean).

Tommy's lawyer cousin, whose name I don't recall, but we saw a lot of him early in season 4 when Tommy was under suspicion for setting Sheila's house on fire(and, no, I'm not THAT big of a fangirl. I rewatched the previous season recently.) Frank, you may be right, but I hope they can...it'd be nice not to be embarrassed about liking that show. Not that guilty pleasures are so horrible...

Another great ep, slightly marred by Sunjata's Truther bullpucky(the one thing I will never forgive those people for is making me feel, even for a nanosecond, that I have to defend people I wouldn't piss on to put out, if they caught on fire. I would ALMOST believe anything of the Bush admin, but I think this "almost" is too important to let pass.)So i'm not. I believe they exploited the situation shamelessly, but that's a different thing from blowing up the Towers yourself. At the beginning, I feel like we got a real sense of what a dick ex-Father Mickey was when he was drinking...but, because we haven't seen that side of him,it's easy to feel that he's above the Gavin fuckwit fray, when actually he's quite a master at it. He was probably a persuasive priest as well, once. But it really shocked me.
