Extremely short thoughts on Monday night TV

Warehouse 13

Three things:

1. Ah, they unleashed the evil I always knew was in Mrs. Frederick. And Southern Sally is no longer on our screens, which is a blessing.

2. I guess Aaron Ashmore isn't getting a contract for next season. Though maybe they want a conscience for the team or something and will keep him around.

3. "Mom?" ...um. I'm not sure if it's more mindblowing that Pete's mom is Captain Janeway, or that Pete's mom is a Regent.





Rizzoli & Isles

Even when this show tries to show its characters are straight, it just makes them look more gay. I've seen members of het couples where the PTB are legit pushing the UST get less jealous than Jane got over Maura and Ian. Then she didn't even arrest the guy when she really probably should have. Even Ma Rizzoli almost seemed to recognize it more as "jilted crush" than "best friend has no time for me."

Apparently there was also a case, and Maura considers Ian the "love of her life" or some such (LIES, it's totally Jane), but that was what I got out of the episode.

I don't really care for Jenks. It's nice to have an openly gay character on Syfy. But I really liked that Claudia had a partner and got to go out and be an agent and she really liked him. I also don't want him to be punished for being against torture, which is a good thing to be against. And it really bothers me when tv shows and movies endorse torture.


Looking back on the episode with Jane=Pete's mom in mind a lot of things make sense that way (not to mention all the little hints that something was up). I'd really been hoping that Jane would be a mentor figure for Myka. And they were slashy as hell. At least to my eyes. But she's going to stick around for at least another episode.

Side note: You ever have those bizarre fic ideas that you know you'll never write, but that are fun to play with in your head? I've been playing with this Warehouse 13/Star Trek fic in my head and this episode only helped fill in a number of issues I'd been working around. Because clearly it's entirely possible for regular agents to be promoted to Regents. Especially since a large number of them have been killed off recently and all. And I'm betting that once Jane (hopefully we'll get her real name eventually) decided to join Star Fleet she had to pass on guardianship. And thus Pete's Mom=Captain Janeway in my head.

Yes, I did enjoy those parts, no matter who was providing them. Especially the Claudia getting a partner thing...she is so cute with her power tripping. :D

YES. Although I can't say as a W13/Star Trek crossover ever entered my mind. ;)
