My reaction to the latest Rizzoli & Isles: Tim Minear must have collaborated on this episode - probably in between updating his old Buffy scripts.

I'm disappointed that that was the character they chose to kill off. I liked her. But I was pleased that it tied back into the art episode because I thought that episode ended very weirdly and didn't think the story was done.

Yeah, why I thought of Tim - killed off one of the most loveable characters they have created. Most of the time, they try to hard (including the title characters). This one they got right - loveable, believable, not bland but not forced. Rare on the show.

Unfortunately, I was spoiled when I pressed the play button on the tivo and the info came up and said "A forensic tech is killed", and then there's Susie!

I will miss Susie. She was a good character, but it couldn't be anyone else.

I wasn't super surprised about the painting thing, I also thought that the story ended oddly.

I hate to admit it, but Hannibal is really losing me this season. Mostly in terms of, that character would never do that, week after week. Mason Verger is the only character who seems to be truly acting in a way I find true to the character.

I'm really looking forward to the Red Dragon part of the season, which will probably have stronger writing. And hile I love the over-the-top arty pretentiousness of this season so far, everyone does seem to be behaving inconsistently. Which, I guess, means it's thematically consistent with the book Hannibal, which they've been mining for the plot points.

I'm looking forward to the Red Dragon plot as well. But so far this season I am having trouble swallowing Will tipping Hannibal off, Hannibal choosing that method to try to off Will, and Hannibal turning himself in for any reason whatsoever. TCG, who has never read the books was even having trouble swallowing the last one.

Rizzoli & Isles: Someone in Boston would be much more likely to refer to it as The Pike not Route 90.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

At least they didn't call it The 90.

I might call it 90, but only because I go to Maine a lot and have other effing Pike's to deal with.
