Sometimes it felt like someone was watching her. Like a spectre haunted her home and work and crept close to her. Especially every time she touched Maura. A quick glance in her best friend’s direction and the spectre was there. Twisting their love into something. Well. Gay. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! She [...]

Uh…remember that time Jane Rizzoli forced some washed up 98 Degree wannabes to watch one of their old concerts after the death of their brother? Jane is HARDCORE. Or, you know, the show wanted to establish the band and figured Jane would do something like make dudes watch that. Also can we discuss how great [...]

The creepiest thing I’ve ever read in fiction was this thriller where a woman is kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery. The rapist at one point leans over and very politely asks if she’d like some eggs. I couldn’t eat eggs for a week and even now scrambled eggs kind of revolt me. It’s that [...]

Rizzoli & Isles really wants to be a soap opera/procedural mystery with lots of gay overtones. And more power to them, that’s an often forgotten subset of the soap and the procedural and the only shows to do it in recent memory (Bones and The X-Files) both went wildly off the rails when they ramped [...]

Adoption has such a bad rap on television. The adopted are always a little sour over their lot in life and focus a great deal on being “abandoned” by their “real parents.” Often when they find their birth parents they sacrifice their relationship with their adoptive parents. Everything–everything is about biology and genetics rather than sociology. [...]

In three seasons of Rizzoli and Isles I never once believed the line about them being hetero BFFs. They were always checking out each other’s boobs and having better chemistry then Bones and Booth had had in years. They did lots of things that, ostensibly, one woman does with her best friend who is also [...]

Eddie Cibrian makes me want to vomit. I wish I could be all in lust with him. Wish my panties could fly away at the sight of his self satisfied smirk but he tends to dry me up faster than salt on a snail. So Maura being in lust with him after grabbing his undead [...]

Look if it were up to me the Rizziles rift 2012 would have lasted at least half the season. The ladies would have brazenly fought their love for one another while everyone tried to reunite them as besties and we all would have marvelled at how it seemed like they were lovers and not just [...]

After last season I was nervous about following this show any further. I mean, as much as I love me some gay subtext and an old dude that looks just like my dad and Lorraine Bracco the show got pretty bad in pretty excruciating ways. It spent its time either badly pandering to the AfterEllen [...]

It is now two days after Christmas. If you’re Christian then you are coming down from the gift high and ensconced in the pajama jeans your BFF gave you and swollen with fried Oreos you made because your brother gave you a deep fryer to celebrate the birth of Jesus. If you’re Jewish then Happy [...]
