I love FX's orginal programs and Rescue Me is my fav. of the pack. The season finally last year left much up in the air or shall I say potentially up in smoke (not in the Cheech & Chong way though). Will Tommy get injured in the fire accidentally started by Sheila? Will Sheila have to pay any type of price, whether it be emotional or criminal time for her intentional drugging on Tommy? Will Chief Jerry ever be able to return to the fire house post heart attack? Will the marriage of Sean and Tommy's spit fire sister really pan out?
So many questions that will soon be answered. However, there are some things that I have opinions on (surprise, surprise) ...
~ No more of the religious symbolism that grossly saturated season 2 while Tommy was battling his alcohol addiction. They really turned the Messiah action up post Connor's tragic death. Last season did not showcase and J.C. or Mary Magdalen sightings so I am hoping they follow that path this season.
~ Mike ( Probie) needs to make a sexual decision and stop being on the fence about contemplating his straightness, gayness, biness and then gayness again. At first it was entertaining, but now the story is just becoming too drawn out.
~ Franco needs to get Akila back. Susan Sarandon's guest character role took her in a fly by night kidnapping to a privileged world. Will Franco ever own up and go searching for his daughter even if it means facing probable jail time for stealing her from a messed up foster home in the first place?
~ Who will be Tommy's main source of conflict now that Johnny is out of the picture? I loved the feisty Irish male brotherly dynamics that took place between Tommy and Johnny. With Johnny getting shot down during a bust, who will help to fuel Tommy's aggression? I strongly doubt his ex. priest cousin can step up to the plate. I think there needs to be a new cowboy in town to duel with Tommy and provide a parallel plot for Tommy's issues with the ladies.
Well, that is all I got. Off to grade!

Thanx Rescue-ing Me. I forgot what happened, since it was so long ago.
Here is a question for all of you ... What the hell is with these wacked-out network schedules that start and end whenever they feel like? Whatever happened to Sept.-May TV seasons? Now it's, we'll show five episodes now and you have to wait three months for another five. Hell, it's been a year since "Sunny" and they started their teasers around last Christmas.
They wonder why their ratings are down and good shows get cancelled. Here's my advice ... STOP WITH THE THREE MONTH BREAK IN THE MIDDLE!
Rant, done.
I agree, it can be a bit annoying and Bravo seems to follow the same programming system with having a boat load of series that are only on for about a month 1/2 to 2 months. The plus side of it though is that they show a new episode every week and none of that repeat bull crap.
