OK, let me preface this entry by saying two things: I like Angie Harmon a lot AND If you are a fan of the show, please don’t continue reading this entry…
OK >>> If they are making a movie about Helen of Troy… a woman who could cause a war, a woman so exquisitely beautiful that ANY man would have to do a double-take… (or, any woman, either!) >>> the producer need not use his casting agent, simply call Angie Harmon. Yes, that is how beautiful this woman is!
So, since I don’t read the Tess Gerritsen mystery books that are the basis for this TNT show, I am not familiar with the facts of the books’ plots. Here are some questions I have for readers of these mystery books:
Is Rizzoli (Harmon) supposed to be as beautiful as she is, or is she supposed to be more “normal” looking? I mean, she spends a lot of time talking to her best friend (Isles) about the problems with dating…
Which brings me to my next question: Is Rizzoli supposed to have problems dating when it seems like there are a whole lot of men interested in dating her? (i.e. her Catechism childhood acquaintance/ex-boss, the FBI agent, a man in the bar she flashes her badge at…)
Is Isles supposed to be a female Monk who actually is so smart that she can’t talk normally with people… and always has to interject latin/medical terms when talking to non-medical professionals (or latin teachers!)?
Is Isles supposed to be a funny character, or simply tiresome?
Why are Isles and Rizzoli such good friends? They seem to have absolutely NOTHING in common… other than they both have jobs that enable them to chat at scenes of the crimes?
When Rizzoli “dresses up” for functions, is she supposed to be ill-at-ease… sort of like a tomboy in stiletto heels, or is she supposed to be the most gorgeous woman in the room?
Is Rizzoli supposed to look bad in the “normal” clothing they have her wearing? Let’s face it, Angie Harmon would look great in a dirty pair of two-sizes too large high-water jeans.
Are Rizzoli and Isles crime victims a lot of the time?
Is Isles the forensic pathologist… and if so, why does she go undercover as a cocktail waitress?
¿¿¿”Frog Face”???!!!???
Is Rizzoli’s new partner a computer specialist/whiz AND a detective?
Does Isles really meet her biological (big-time criminal) father through doing an autopsy on her unbeknownst-to-her half brother?
And, my last question is not only directed to people who read the Rizzoli and Isles books… It is about hiring such wonderful, accomplished actors to play Rizzoli’s parents (Lorraine Bracco and Chazz Palminteri) >>> Why are their screen times so limited?
Hmmmm… Just wonderin’…
Here are some fun Pennsylvania facts:
OK, OK, I know it’s not officially autumn yet, but I think that someone somehow got the seasons all wrong. I know that fall doesn’t begin until September 22 this year, but as far as I am concerned, autumn should begin at the very beginning of September and continue until the very beginning of December. But, that’s just my opinion!
