Rizzoli and Isles

[jaina47]

 I watched the premiere and I thought it was pretty fun. It's nice to see Sascha Alexander again and this role looks like it suits her. 

I continue to find it amusing and ironic that while Angie Harmon is the most conservative Republican to ever conserve or republic, the woman can be counted on to bring the femslashy subtext no matter what. I...don't understand, but I'll take it. 

Like, I said it was fun and I thought that Rizzoli and Isles had insane chemistry. I also liked the relationship I guess (but I don't mean that in a romantic sense, for sure) between Rizzoli and her old partner. There were plenty of head slapping, why did you do that woman, moments. I don't know how many times I sat there all "LOCK THE DAMN DOOR" when the serial killer was after her. And could she not tell her mother to go home when she knew there was a serial killer after her and she was leaving? Meh. That was irritating, but not unexpected. 

I did like that Rizzoli had a nice, comfortable home and mocked the spartan quarters and tv dinners cliche. It was nice for a change. Although if the constant idiotic primping continues, I might get all stabbity. I don't mind the guy, particularly. I'm not that invested yet, but geez, unprofessional much? Giving women in the workforce a bad name? Something. Geez. 

I haven't read the books so I have no idea how this compares, whether it's better or worse, but I'll probably give it a shot again.

I may do my own post, but I just want to state for the record how much I appreciate and welcome Angie Harmon's cop fetish. Like you, I find her baffling, and yet, trenchcoats! Dark hair! Guns!

Yeah, she just confuses me but, hot! Guns! Snarky! How am I supposed to resist all that? It's not my fault she brings the femslash every time!

I like how the show swings from humor to deadly serious with little or no warning.

Please to write Rizzoli/Isles fanfic now, jaina? ;-)

They did capture a pretty good balance with that. I loved that Isles had a tortoise for a pet and of course, I loved her grabbing Jane's arm and pulling her back down into bed. How femslashy was that!

Heh. I'm not ruling it out, but maybe not just yet. I generally like to read/watch a bit more before I dive into writing for characters. But maybe. :(

I should get an icon though.
