Rescue Me "Black" 7/18/2007 *spoilers*

The whole baby thing is way too disturbing for me.

Yeah no doubt, sounds like black market baby sale soon if this keeps up.

I don't think Tommy will sell the baby. My money says Sheila will probably snatch it.

I wonder how long it will be before Tommy figures out that Sheila drugged him?

I was really hoping that Franco and Lou would tell the new probie to take all of his demands and go screw himself.

Has Tommy got a new ghost? Or was that supposed to be Jimmy?

Uncle Teddy is AWESOME!

I think it was Tommy's "other" personality...

I thought it was supposed to be Jimmy... was the actor maybe not available so they improvised?

If it was Jimmy, I don't understand the confused look Tommy had when the shadowy figure was talking. It definitely looked like he had a FDNY patch on his left shoulder.

Maybe it was a younger version of the Chief? I don't know. I'm just pulling that one out of my butt.

Looks like they are having Tommy hit rock bottom, Sex life, hockey, fire fighting. I hope they start building him up soon.

On the scene where his truck doesn't start they had his girlfriend plug the OBD reader in somewhere under the hood?? How long would it take them to ask where you plug it in? By the way it's under the dashboard inside the truck. I miss the red truck.

Still loving "Lou"

I agree. It sounded and was shaped a little like Leary.

I thought the "shadow" sounded like Needles.

I think it was the little baby talking to him in adult form creeping him out.

The more I think about the more ridiculous I think the is getting. It has always had its moments of being sublime, but could we just lay off the sillyness for a week or two. PLEASE.

This episode was nothing but tedious. The show is really losing any edge, now it's just being stupid for the sake of being stupid. Last week's sorry excuse of a fire scene or dream, whatever it was, is about the only "work" these guys seem to have done in ages.

I don't think the guy in the door was Tommy or Needles. The hair was all wrong for it to be Needles. The voice wasn't right for either of them.

Sheila's volly can you say freak!

Was I the only one cheering when the truck was headed for the baby?

Loved the scene with Chief's ashes.

Maybe Janet needs to join Teddy at AA.

As soon as he found out that he actually DID have an erection the night of the fire (which, btw, presumably means that he knows Sheila lied and will put the rest of the pieces together soon), he got over his impotence problem. So clearly they started building him back up (no pun intended) and I assume that that will carry through to the hockey, etc. I guess the hockey thing could be about him getting old, but I thought that it was intended to be tied to the impotence issue. I mean, he's not that much older than the last time he played. Guess I could be wrong though.

I am not understanding many of the storylines lately.

1) Why would they care so much about "Sean", the basketball star? First off, from what I've seen, he isn't that great. He looks to be short and slow. And even if he is the second coming of MJ, who cares.

2) The huge insurance payoff from the fire makes no sense. It seems like a step one: burn down house, step two: ?, step three: profit situation.

I don't get it either.

Yep, I agree. And what's worse is there is no "step three: profit situation", she's basically getting back the money that she spent on the house to start with. It's not like she's getting one over on somebody and getting a bunch of free cash.

Tommy on the other hand, is getting a bunch of free cash. That's what doesn't make sense to me. Why was Sheila so happy about him getting half her money? Of course now it looks like it might buy her a baby, but originally I don't think that was a consideration. Stupid plotline - one of many stupid plotlines.
