Rescue Me: Final Season

Agree with the series ending with Tommy's death. I used to think he was just going to say "Ef it" and leap to a fiery death, but I now agree with others on here who think he's going out saving someone's life, given how he wasn't able to help his boy and the probe last season, no way he lets it happen again. Only question is, who? It may end up being someone like Sheila.

 

My guess: Tommy dies saving black Shawn and then the show ends with the wedding scene.

 

What the Hell? I thought the implication was that Damien died at the end of the last season.

 

I was wondering about that too.

 

He's paralyzed and needs 24/7 care. Though he's not dead, Tommy still has visions of him the same way he does with Jimmy and the other dead guys.

 

Bumped this up to remind that the series finale airs tonight. 80 minutes long. Sad to see this series come to an end but like The Shield it has run its course.

I was a diehard for this series in the first two seasons, couldn't get enough. I watched the next couple out of loyalty and, sadly, I've only seen a few episodes of final three seasons.

I'll probably watch the finale at some point, but it won't be tonight.

 

I'm glad they had a chance to wrap the show the way they wanted - but Leary seems to figure the only way to portray women is to make them look nuttier than his character - don't know if it is to make Gavin more of a hero or he doesn't have a lot of respect for women. I'm trying to think of the last female character that wasn't off her rocker that was featured on the show. If it was still relevant I figure NOW would have raised a protest.
I'll miss it. But probably not as much as I would have if it ended two or three years ago.

 

I'm trying to think of a character on the show who isn't nutty in one way or another. Male or female.
