Monday This N That

Are you ready?

Really?

I had to get at least one "really" in there, you know. After all, it's the Jane Rizzoli signature.

Really.

Yes, Jane, Maura, Korsak, Frost, Angela, Frankie, Bass, Jo Friday and the gang return tomorrow night for the beginning of Season 3 of Rizzoli and Isles on TNT.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for the Jane/Maura angst as we continue from where the Season 2 finale left off. One thing I really hope for is that they don't actually kill off Paddy Doyle. I love John Doman in that role. Even if he gets sent to prison (or escapes), he would still be a great recurring guest star. There's also a lot he could do from prison as well.

Thursday brings the new series, Saving Hope, with Stargate's Michael Shanks.


I'm still seriously bummed over the cancellation of Sanctuary. Don't forget to pick up your copy of the Season 4 dvd set when it gets released next month. It's a great season to see Amanda Tapping kicking serious ass as Dr Helen Magnus. Charlotte Benoit even calls Helen the "Doctor of Ass Kicking" in "Monsoon".


Another Stargate alum, Colin Cunningham, returns with the rest of the Falling Skies gang on June 17th.





I still think that the reboot of Dallas is severely over-hyped. However, I am going to enjoy JR, Bobby and Sue Ellen back on the screen. I just hope they don't overdo it with the "young 'uns" storyline. If Dallas is coming back, I want the focus on the older generation. What's the likelihood of that happening? Slim to none?


Got the new issue of Sci-Fi magazine last weekend. If there's one thing that will keep me "sort of" watching Alphas, it's Ryan Cartwright's portrayal of Gary.


Eureka continues to count down to the series finale.


There's still another month until the return of Warehouse 13.


Getting away from sci-fi shows for a moment, I caught the premiere of Longmire last night on A&E.

Even though there was limited Katee Sackhoff & Lou Diamond Phillips screen time in the premiere last night, I found myself enjoying the show nonetheless. I like the gritty feel of the show. I'm also intrigued by the Indian/White Guy conflicts that I'm sure will be highlighted throughout the series. I live about 20 miles from a reservation here in my area, but don't see any of those types of conflicts here.

One of my other current favorite shows is Fairly Legal. However, I really hope they quit with the Justin/Kate/Ben romantic triangle soon. It's really taken away the bickering charm of the show. Plus, I'd really love to have more story lines that include Lauren. We really haven't gotten much of her story since the 'evil stepmother' persona to begin the show. Looking at some upcoming promo pics, it looks like she might actually get a decent story - including romance.


On a final note, how cute is Mariska with her little girl? Awwwwwwwww.
