This elderly lesbian viewer is delighted to see brief but believable sex between women on TV. I do think it lets us see Baldwin's emotional neediness, hidden behind her assassin's mien.

Good point. My following the actors as well as the show can make for confusion.

What a disappoinment. That wasn't the Jane Rizzoli I loved from the first four seasons (before Jan Nash): she wouldn't have worn that ridiculous outfit, she'd have mentioned Frost by name, she didn't squeal, she would have hugged her BFF. Instead we got a penis cake (really?),way too much Angela and Ron, the making of videos which actually kept the characters apart, and Maura Isles leaving her beloved forensics lab without a tear (Sasha wept after the camera went off). A reboot? Please, no. http://www.tvguide.com/news/rizzoli-isles-series-finale-postmortem/

Rizzoli & Isles Mega Buzz: The Finale Might Not Be a Real Goodbye http://www.tvguide.com/news/rizzoli-isles-series-finale-scoop-jane-maura-spoilers/ If this TV Guide brief was by anyone other than Joyce Eng, I'd dismiss it as clickbait. But she's interviewed showrunner Jan Nash several times and seems a reputable writer. R&I fans (shippers and non) are upset with the upcoming announced separation of the titular characters. Though this photo has raised all sorts of questions (including why is Jane wearing Angie's clothes?). Is Maura holding a plane ticket or two to Paris?

I watched from the beginning and became a Rizzles shipper before the pilot ended. We don't have to agree.

The "Jane got laid" banter between her and Maura was distasteful to me. ("Two desserts. And breakfast." Chuckles) Who needs to know orgasm counts? Just those who are still troubled by Rizzles shippers wanting Jane and Maura together as lovers, I assume. Gay showrunner is determined to het up all her characters. What about Kent? Will the duck return? What about Maura? Maybe Jack will move back to Boston. Is that everybody?

I'm pleased that Maura didn't give up on her writing and is going to Paris. Perhaps she'll meet a French version of Jane and fall in bed, or even in love with her (yes, her). Jane's "relationship" with Agent Ugly Blue Suit violates all sorts of rules, but this is TV so who cares. Fortunately her house-sit lacks a usable upstairs, so we were spared the sight of them in bed. I never expected Rizzles, but I wanted Jane and Maura to remain in Boston, doing their jobs, being best friends. I don't know why Jan Nash/TNT/WB destroyed that show. Fortunately, I have DVDs, fic, gifs, fan boards, etc.

A tumblr blog post that's getting a lot of attention among Rizzles shippers like me. An ending I'd prefer. http://leighlew3.tumblr.com/post/149419323476/heading-into-the-finale

I put some speculation, based on Tweeted stills of the finale, on the R&I in the Media thread. Is that okay?

My Rizzles shipper version: Maura drives Jane to Quantico, bites her lip so as to not kiss in public, watches Jane walk away, then tosses her keys to some NAT, and runs after Jane screaming, "Jane, I love you, wait for me!" If only they had the intestinal fortitude.

On second thought, having read Jan Nash's "Near Beer" tweet, I shake my elderly head in amazement: live-tweeting important character info instead of having it in the script? Somethings' wrong here.

Missed that Near Beer clarification. I hope someday to learn just what Jan Nash and TNT/WB agreed on for R&I. No homo, obviously. What cowards.

In the meantime, Tommy can do plumbing work at BPD, filling a Rizzoli slot. Sad to see the writers had Tommy drinking (again), when the last time we saw him he was in AA. I wish they'd stay away from serious medical conditions: biliary atresia can be treated with a liver transplant. Of course, we knew the baby would live by some sort of miracle. Who were those Mason family members at the cemetery? "Animal Kingdom" auditioners?
