Rescue Me season 5

A chapter from Rescue Me-pedia

It never ceases to amaze me the creative vernacular conjured by the Rescue Me scribes on a weekly basis. After four plus seasons there would be enough to fill a full volume. If I was more industrious I would have kept track of all these quips and analogies since the series’ first episode. I’m sure […]

With the exception of season finales, Rescue Me doesn’t usually resort to cliffhanger episodes. Although, to call last night’s ending a cliffhanger is somewhat misleading. When Tommy rushes into the flames to rescue Damien, we all know he’s not going to die. I mean, it’s Denis Leary’s show; he’s the star; he’s a co-writer and […]
