The NZA Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 ....is anyone else watching this? Dennis Leary was fun in "The Job", wish ida caught more of that one. So, here, he plays an Irish firefighter, with a bit of a drinkin problem, and some haunting memories of 9-11. I'm only 2 episdoes in, but im hooked...obviously, im biased, as the subject material is mad appealing for me. Just wanted to know if anyone else was into this one...wish i could find an mpeg of just the series intro. Quote
MetalHeart Posted September 4, 2004 Posted September 4, 2004 I remember reading about it but I didn't know it was already showing on TV Quote
The NZA Posted September 4, 2004 Author Posted September 4, 2004 Well, i downloaded the first 4 episodes from bittorrent, and there's one labeled # 7, but i dont know if its gone that far yet. Been hearing about it at work as well...im just really enjoyin this one. Quote
The NZA Posted September 5, 2004 Author Posted September 5, 2004 Dammit, theyve only got 4 episodes online, then it jumps to # 7... Post more on suprnova.org dammit! Actaully this one just needs to get a DVD, id so buy it. Quote
The NZA Posted October 8, 2004 Author Posted October 8, 2004 Well, last night was the 12th episdoe, next week's the season finale! For those interested, ive got a DVD with the first 10 episodes on disc, enjoyed this one too. Again, its not as serious a drama as, say, "The Shield", but if you enjoyed Leary's short-lived NYPD show "The Job", like i did, this one's really great. Thank god, it just got signed for a second season. One of the series' more Preacher-esque moments, when Tommy (Leary) talks to an Irish priest in a nearby cathedral about 9-11: "My cousin, the priest, said its because its all apart of God's plan, like God's got a plan. Ya know what? There is a God...he's got awhole shitload of explaining to do. Quote
Silent Bob Posted October 9, 2004 Posted October 9, 2004 Hm, I forgot they're allowed to say shit now... Quote
Ganny McVagflaps Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 I saw some of it at a bar. It made me angry 'cause they were having sex but I couldn't see boobahlas. What a jip. Quote
The NZA Posted October 10, 2004 Author Posted October 10, 2004 yes, there's a lot of "shit" ing and a whole lotta sex, but not much boobalah. There's a gay black midget as of last episode, tho, and Denis Leary is the fuckin shit in this show. I didnt realize it before, but he actually lost his cousin/best friend as a firefighter a few years back, so Leary has a vested interest in this kind of thing: he runs The Leary Firefighters assocation, raising money for fire departments to use better/safer equipment, its a really good cause: http://www.learyfirefightersfoundation.org/ Politics aside...again, its dark, but heavy on the comedy, and shows a lot of what life in the firehouse is like, rather than just glorifying/hero worship like say Backdrat, or what ive herad of Ladder 41 (that new travolta one). Its good to see some actual character, but man, goin into this season finale, there's mad ! Quote
The NZA Posted October 15, 2004 Author Posted October 15, 2004 Holy shit, the season finale was...really somethin'. Ok, so i think its 13 episodes for the season, cant wait for the DVD (much less next season, kinda left me hangin here)....again, ive got the first 10 on a dvd disc, the other 3 on my drive, gonna try to toss em on disc soon...anyone who's up for this, lemme know, i really love this show, but man, this last episode put me through the wringer.

PLEASE tell me you can burn me a disc of this! I managed to find 1-5 on torrents... but now I'm stuck and can't find anything else before seven. Tommy was getting his ass kicked by a bunch of accountants, last I saw, and I need to know what happens next, man! Damn if this ain't like crack. And I'll tell ya what... I've got iMovie and Toast on my computer... I'll see what I can do about making a proper VCD for each episode with a menu and chapters and stuff. Just help a brotha out here! -DG Quote
The NZA Posted October 23, 2004 Author Posted October 23, 2004 Hah...cool, glad to see some interest! Well, DG, i got episodes 1-10 on a DVD (can you read that?), the last 3 on my drive, just debating if i should make em 3 seperate discs or just one more dvd, might do the later. Lemme know what format you can go for, and the menu thing sounds like itd be cool...i really wish FX would announce a season 1 set soon tho. Man, it gets crazy after that fight, too! Quote

I can read DVDs, just can't write them. I can make the menus, but either torrent the results or put them one to a CD. How can I get these from you? -DG Quote
The NZA Posted October 25, 2004 Author Posted October 25, 2004 Hmm...long as i can get to it before i leave town next week, i can try to mail you the CD's, PM me your address...if youd rather not, i can email you the torrent seeds for all the episodes, lemme know DG. Quote
Dirty Gypsy Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Any news on that DVD, Irish? I'm jonesin' for some Leary, man!! -DG Quote
The NZA Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 Shit, sorry gyp-o, in the process of movin and im still tryin to get some blank DVD's.....i got one copy goin, it holds 1-10, the last 3 gotta go on seperate CD's it seems...man, i wanna share this one tho. Tell you waht: im told the actual DVD set is do out in a bit, if i aint got it perfected by then, ill just burn you that....sound good? Quote
Dirty Gypsy Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Sounds good. If the real DVD set is due out soon, I'll prolly buy it anyway. -DG Quote
The NZA Posted May 30, 2005 Author Posted May 30, 2005 June 7th - $35, woo hoo! :D plus, new season starts June 21st! Quote
The NZA Posted June 1, 2005 Author Posted June 1, 2005 ps dirty gypsy - sorry i took forever and a day, ill mail out the ones i got now if you want my copies. Again, theyre either mpegs or xvid, all great quality, on a single DVD disc and like 2 more CD's for the finale. I can also include a disc for whatever codecs/plugins youd need to watch them on your PC, theyre digial quality & im all about spreadin the show so lemme know man. Quote
soldier of fortune Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 we caught this on Sky over here. I thought it was great, its quite funny. Can't wait for the next season! Quote
Ganny McVagflaps Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Yeah I saw the DVD at Blockbuster but figured there was no point it renting it 'cause I gots too much stuff to do. When I get to my new place I'll check it out 'cause Unka Nick is always right. Quote
Ganny McVagflaps Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Though this still stands: I saw some of it at a bar. It made me angry 'cause they were having sex but I couldn't see boobahlas. What a jip. Quote
The NZA Posted July 6, 2005 Author Posted July 6, 2005 wonder if 2T dug it...? Anyone watchin season 2? Tonight was episode 3, eventful shit! Just lookin for someone to talk to bout it... Quote
