Scene from Rescue Me — Page 3

well, after the touching head resting scene, the storyline between the probie and his roommate has gone way downhill. the writers obviously do not know how to write for "gay" characters - not believably anyway. seriously, it is like a homophobic 12-year old writes this stuff.

I wouldnt say it was boring overall..... That portion of the story line was though.

I just caught up on the whole season last night when I couldn't sleep.

Didn't like the Tommy/Janet scene. I don't care if they used to be married or she ended up liking it; that was still rape. I don't really like Janet, so I'm not too torn up about it, but still, it was irresponsible for a TV show to be brushing it off like that.

That being said, I can't wait for Marisa Tomei and Tommy to screw with Johnny. He just really annoys me.

I feel so bad for Franco. I've never liked Susan Sarandon, so this doesn't really improve my opinion of her, even if it's just acting. It's just really twisted that someone would do that. He really should have fixed the custody situation years ago.

Probie and the roommate- I have to agree with whoever commented above; I think the homophobia is more about the nature of the characters than some bigotted opinion of the writers. Over the course of the series, it's quite obvious that Probie and many of the other characters have never been open-minded about homosexuality. So experimentation or even a full-fledged romantic fling isn't going to automatically turn them into a GLAAD poster child.

okay, so are they trying to make us hate Probie's roomie?!?! what was that about?

and help me out, at the end i think it gave a "guest star" credit to Tatum O'Neill, which one is she? i don't know the character names well enough to look on websites. i'm assuming she is either the ex-wife of Dennis or the wannabe girlfriend to Dennis. There were no other large female roles last night, and Marisa Tomei was the "let's make our exes jealous" one...

Little Sister, thanks for the info. i forgot about Dennis' sister. What do we make of the comment during the weird "hockey" game to Probie of "what are you doing, being friendly, you want to date him?"...that with the whole Pasquale "breaking up" with Dennis is a weird context for Probie's current personal life.

and where might one find these spoilers if so inclined?!?!?

I hope Alicia gets the smackdown tonight!

Her dead husband, and Tommy Gavin's (Denis Leary) cousin. It is interesting how the show is getting back around to some of the 9/11 type of story lines that were absent. She is clearly a widow who has some serious issues. Some of these women are out there right now, still suffering.

It's a gritty show, but I love it.

Edited to fix brother to cousin... Tommy's brother is the crappy cop who's sleeping with his ex.

You were right. The ghost, and the husband of the woman who drugged Tommy is his cousin.
