Rescue Me: DNA (2004)

Isn’t it a little too soon to have Tommy’s youngest daughter in a car accident? With all the requisite “walk away Tommy” and dudes holding him back while he rages scenes, this must have been a Sweeps week or something. Nevertheless, the writing righted the ship a little afterwards, since this was used as a sort of deus ex machina between Tommy and his wife, and led to some good conversations about blame and responsibility. Is it just me or is this gaggle of ghosts following Tommy around kind of stupid? I was a little disappointed to see the writing group PTSD thing not followed up – that could have been pretty funny. The young kid (probie?) was getting stalked by a guy he saved in a fire, who eventually proposed a three way with his wife, and I’m surprised there wasn’t more about doing a three way with two girls versus one of two guys. Maybe there’ll be a funny scene about docking.
