I find her consistently torn by conflicting motivations. That look she gave Don when she was walking out the door with Sally so he could work? She's not resigned to giving up her own dreams and her own work quite yet. But she is a born caretaker, so once she's out with Sally she slips into that protective older friend role completely.
Yeah, I think that's right -- it's less that she's inconsistently written (although I haven't analyzed it in any serious way) and more that she's conflicted.
On a much less serious show, I was thinking a similar thing watching all the Necessary Roughness last weekend -- it makes perfect character sense that Terrence flips back and forth between "Help me, I'll be good" and "fuck you, I can do what I want."
Anyone here a fan of Rizzoli and Isles? If so, do you like them both? Equally? How did you feel about their rift...well, I guess it's effectively over now..?
Yes, yes. Well, I hope that it's not totally over. I thought that Jane was in the right, but she was an asshole about it. What she should have said is "I'm sorry I shot your father, but I'm not sorry that I shot Patty Doyle"
The actress who plays Peggy (Elizabeth Moss) was filming a movie at the end of MM, so I don't expect to see Peggy again until next season.
Which is about how they handled Roger's heart attacks.

Something for the BBC, right?

Yes. Mostly. I didn't watch the premiere yet, but I'm re-watching last season's finale right now. Some of the characterization of the Rizzoli family as low class compared to the upper class Isles family bugs. For an example from the episode I am watching right now, Italians aren't exactly opposed to complicated espresso machines.
Another example:
Maura: "That would be even better with some pecorino romano cheese."
Rizzoli's mom: "We've got ketchup."
I'm sorry I shot your father, but I'm not sorry that I shot Patty Doyle
That's pretty much the meat of it. I'm not sure at which point Maura forgot his rap sheet, but expecting your cop friend to do you a solid that involves not defending herself and other people...good luck with selling that point of view.
I couldn't tell if the text was asking me to take a side or not. Even though Rizzoli was being very brusque about it, I still think she had everything but romanticism on her side. And she was never prone to dressing things up.
sj are you saying that low class Italian familes would have/know pecorino romano cheese?

I think that they at least would say they had parmesan, or mozzarella, or something not ketchup.

Yes, almost definitely. And I would probably count them as lower middle class, which is pretty close to what I grew up in.
