A random thought...

I watched the first episode of Rizzoli & Isles last night.

It looks like it might be an interesting watch. I like the dynamic of the frienship between the two central characters. The theme of "what it's like to be a woman in a profession full of men" (not just fellow police officers, but criminals, too) seemed pretty clear and I'm interesting to see what they do with it.

It was somewhat squicky in places and I'm kind of interested to see whether that was just first-episode shockiness or something they plan to pursue.

I am also curious to find out how long the interesting characterisation survives my boredom with OH GOD CRIME PLOTS ARE ALL THE SAME. (You know you've watched too many crime shows when you identify the secret villain in their first scene.)

When/if I get caught up, I may want all the fic. A reasonable femslash pairing, at last!

(Speaking of which, I must find some Myka/HG Wells fic for Warehouse 13.)

PS - I'm sick of my default icon. I need some new ones.

The first episode was difficult for me to watch, but I fell in love with it. I am way behind because TNT started locking the episodes, and my cable provider is not in the list of authorized unlock cable providers. The main reason I stuck with it (as the case work, by comparison to some case cop shows, is not that great) is that these are people my age or older doing the stuff they live for, with all the complications of being adults. They don't exist in a vacuum.

If you keep watching, you'll have to let me know what you think. (And yes, I've written some fic for it, but all first season based)

I watched the first season when it aired in the UK last year, it was pretty good :)
