I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Something for the BBC, right?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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. 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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Another example:

Maura: "That would be even better with some pecorino romano cheese."

Rizzoli's mom: "We've got ketchup."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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?

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

sj are you saying that low class Italian familes would have/know pecorino romano cheese?

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

Yes, this. Or they may have just called in romano. But ketchup on pasta of any kind, even macaroni and cheese, nsm.

Oh yeah! I remember reading about something filming with Elisabeth Moss and Gillian Anderson. I always notice GA news. My Scully crush will never die.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Admittedly I don't have a lot of experience with Italian-American families that maintain a strong Italian identity, but my impression is that when you have Nonna's recipe for marinara sauce ketchup isn't going to be bought for use in the home.
