The scene where he's drinking liquor from a bottle on a beach at sunrise and he walks away followed by all of these dead people that still haunt him (not literally, I know they're symbols) was really pretty trite.
In my mind, I was saying that, but my heart, predictably, was kicked in the groin, so to speak. I pretty much wept through the last three minutes, which was their intended goal, I know. I just felt it was a more honest manipulation of my emotions than, say, last week's "Six Feet Under."
I'm with Kelly: it rocked my world with the raw humor (especially the haunted, grizzled guy awaiting his colonoscopy results from the doctor, who said it wasn't the camera that hurt so much as the crew who went up his ass), the complicated relationship firefighters apparently have with women (they're threatening in the workplace, but no one seems willing to figure out why), and, yes, the sappiness. And on an utterly superficial note, if dirty fires mean more showering, shirtless time for Daniel Sunjata, I'm 100% behind the format of the show.
