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

I'm watching the first episode of the summer season of Necessary Roughness, and it looks like it's a bit of a reboot. Is anyone still watching, and, if so, is it worth it?

I'm still watching. It takes a few eps to settle in to the rebootiness, until it does Dani's a little more annoying with her "this is not how I do things" schtick. TK always annoys me so I can't tell if he's more or less so. Fond as I am of Blucas, I haven't really missed him much. It's worth it to me to finally (FINALLY) get a little (LITTLE) payback on the Nico/Dani chemistry.

Watching Major Crimes and missing Criminal Minds.

It was remarkably anti-climactic and uneven in tone last night.

Nico, is really the only reason I'm considering watching the season at all. John Stamos is already annoying me. When does Blucas leave? He's still in the episode I'm watching. It also annoys me how little TK has grown or changed. If Dani has been such a huge help in his life, shouldn't he have stopped whining so much by now?

I thought the first ep was Blucas' last. I'm sure he doesn't last past 2. John Stamos also settles in and becomes more likable - unless that's just my perception once his blond partner (memfault - guy who people were excited about when he came on Heroes) starts coming around twirling his metaphorical moustache every time he's on the screen. TK does at least change a bit - though it's more that he's making different types of questionable choices, not that he finally starts looking before he leaps.

I'd say the first couple/few episodes are less than awesome, they're still trying to find their tone, plus things have to fall into shape for them to get to the new season structure, but it's gotten at least interesting. I'm not in love with the Nico/FBI stuff, but like I said, finally a little bit of Nico/Dani.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think the TK arc this season is pretty interesting, if problematic here and there.

I'd say it gets interesting (like last ep!), but he definitely still makes questionable choices and early in the season he definitely still seems spoiled and immature.

I was only halfway through the first episode when I typed my question. You're right, he says his good-byes at the end.

There were WAY too many dogs being threatened on tonight's Rizzoli & Isles. (Yeah, I'm one of those people -- I don't particularly care how many actors get make-believe threatened; just don't be implying violence towards the animals. Particularly towards the canine variety.)

And you all have heard the sad news that Lee Thompson Young (aka Detective Frost) committed suicide on Monday, right? It was kind of creepy watching the episode knowing that.
