Two episodes to go in Rescue Me‘s fifth season. How will it all end? That’s the million-dollar question, but it’s not the only one I have, as we drive toward the finale. It’s been a topsy-turvy ride for Tommy Gavin, even more so than usual. Yeah, he’s pretty much dealing with the same problems he has for the last four years — drinking, love triangle, memories of 9/11, kids growing up. However, the heat has been turned up to an unsafe temperature. I could be mistaken, but it seems like Tommy is about to explode.
I got plenty more queries to ponder. A few have nothing to do with Tommy. Here they are:
10) Franco is gonna fight Carla, right? It would be a fitting way to provide closure to their relationship. Either that, or they’ll get turned on trading fists.
9) Is Lou getting taken for a ride? An overwhelming sense of dread hangs over the Lou/Candy marriage. Nothing good ever happens to the dude. I still believe she’s working an angle.
8) Is Jimmy lying to Tommy? We’re meant to believe Janet wasn’t the mistress. Obviously, Sheila knows. The whole Sleepless in Seattle comment seemed a bit too convenient.
7) Sheila has to be certifiably insane, right? That crap she pulled with the lighter was straight off the psycho-bitch manual. I realize she’s downing a shitload of meds already, but she might need a few more.
6) Is Janet lying to Tommy? She admitted to sleeping with Jimmy years before. I think there’s more to the story.
5) Does Janet enjoy torturing Tommy? Yes.
4) Is Tommy more like Michael Corleone or Fredo? Sorry, Tom. You’re Fredo through and through.
3) Isn’t Maura Tierney great? I will miss her when she’s done with the show.
2) Did Tommy genuinely pour his heart out to Kelly? A little. Not all the way, though — he just wanted to get laid.
1) Was that a cool lookin’ bong, or what? No wonder Kelly keeps it under lock and key.
What questions do you have as Rescue Me prepares to wrap its fifth season?

- Sure and he’ll get his ass kicked and get together with her.
– Yes
– Yes
– Yes
– Yes
– Yes
– Dunno haven’t seen “The Godfather” yet (HEY! Stop throwing stuff! I’m a Sci-Fi Geek ;-),
– Fucking A!
– Huh? A tiny little bit, I say he was bullshitting big time. He wasn’t alone that night and the rest was white noise to me ‘coz who gives a shit if he really has some kind of deeper feelings for her or whatever. She’s screwed up just like the other women Tommy has to do with so what’s the difference? The guy is seeing people! He’s nuts! Try analyzing if he’s genuine or not – I’ll pass :-)
– No and I don’t know I found found the bong hit way more interesting than the bong… I mean how cool is it that Maura Tierney can smoke like that? :-)
The question I had was the following: how weird is it that Recue Me mentiones Turks and Ceicos the week the UK removes the T&C government from office? If I hadn’t read about those islands two days before I wouldn’t even have known what Lou is talking about. Talk about weird.
My question?
Himen… pink… “That conversation was deep man” – Great lines this week.
Sorry didn’t want to wait. The song is called “Grounds for divorce” by “Elbow” published on the almbum “Live from London”
