"This is not CSI: Boston!"
Warehouse 13 is such a fabulously gay show, my God. Took me long enough to get round to it, but now that I'm all caught up, there's no doubt in my mind that H.G. Wells wants to get into the pants of one Myka Bering. Indeed, why isn't Jaime Murray a series regular yet? Hmm?
In other, gay TV news, Rizzoli & Isles was slightly better this week, I have to admit. I know, shocking. It's still ions away from being stellar, but glimpses of its Season 1 charm could definitely be detected in yesterday's episode.
The first Jane/Maura scene pretty much establishes that Maura is now part of the Rizzoli family in every way. The whole episode, pretty much, is a testament to the fact that Jane & Maura are so totally MARRIED.
The two are lounging on the couch without any kind of personal space between them, watching baseball (I'm getting so tired of horny!Maura, it's so out of character), when Tommy, Jane's screw-up brother, suddenly comes in.
You couldn't fit a sheet of paper between them.
Jane: Oh, my God. Tommy.
Angela: I forgot to tell you he was coming home.
Jane: You forgot to tell me? [looking at Maura] You forgot, too?
[Maura looking sheepish]
Jane doesn't seem to find it at all odd that Maura would know about Tommy's return while she herself is still in the dark. The way Maura looks at Angela afterwards is pretty telling, too.
But when Tommy thanks Maura for everything she's doing for him, Jane's jealous side makes an appearance.
Jane: 'All you're doing for him'?
Maura: [...] I'm doing this for your mother. Yeah, he's made some bad choices, but that doesn't make him a bad person.
Jane: Oh, yeah. He did fix your flush valve.
Oh, Jane. You're jealous, it's rather endearing. And yes, Maura is only doing this for Angela. The perfect daughter-in-law indeed.
Also, I just have to mention:
It's Joe Friday! ♥ It's a different dog than last Season, but oh well, it's not like anyone would notice...
So, Maura gets a call: there's a body in the baseball team's locker room. Of course.
Rizzoli & Isles are off to the crime scene, just for fun. Yay!
Jane hangs out at the locker room and, once again, it's force-fed to the audience that THERE IS SOMETHING SHADY ABOUT THE BASEBALL STAR'S DRINKING BOTTLE. Gee, I couldn't have figured it out myself. Crime, still not your strong suit, show.
Some random player hits on Jane. Of course.
The simple slip and fall in the shower turns out to be a suspicious death after all. Of course.
We get more crappy humour which still makes me titter every damn time:
Maura: [inspecting an x-ray] The murder weapon is a cylindrical, heavy, hard object.
Jane: [looking at a guy with a baseball bat] Gee. What could it be? Think it's a pipe?
Maura: Pipe's too thin.
Jane: What about a Maid Red's baton?
Maura: I'm glad that you find my scientific approach amusing.
Snorttttt! The whole discussion about Jane gumshoeing is pretty hysterical as well; you can see a little bit of the old Maura in there somewhere.
So, remember that random baseball player who asked Jane out? Yeah, me neither, but apparently, he wants to take Jane to a posh French restaurant so that they can talk about the case. I can't even bother with the realism check anymore.
Anyway, femslash ensues.
Jane: [indicating her wardrobe] Is this okay?
Maura: [shocked] You out of your mind?
Jane: What? I'm meeting Jesse Wade, he wants to do the interview there.
Maura: At Le Beau Truc? [surprised] Le booty call.
Jane: What did you just say?
Cue to:
Maura: [shedding her jacket & turning around] Unzip me.
Jane: Um, why?
Maura: 'Cause you can't go like that! We'll trade clothes, c'mon.
I have only one question: WHY DIDN'T WE SEE THE ACTUAL CHANGING PART?
Jane looks absolutely ridiculous in Maura's dress, but holy crap, Maura looks fantastic in Jane's clothes. I think I probably would need to sit down right about now if I weren't already.
Maura: Ah. You look sexy.
Jane: You look...like you're wearing my clothes.
As in HOT. Seriously, Maura in butchy clothes is ridiculously sexy. And here we are again with Maura's obvious innuendos about how hot she finds Jane.
After the weird interview at the restaurant, Jane goes home. Wait, no she doesn't! She goes to Maura's! Hurrrrr. Married, people, MARRIED.
Jane: Your dress is about as comfortable as a straight jacket.
Maura: And your suit is a real booty call magnet. I got hit on twice. By women.
Jane: Really?
Would you look at the smug smile Maura's sporting? She's totally teasing Jane, trying to make her jealous. And I think Jane's "Really?" confirms what we've been speculating on: she has no idea she's a big ol' lesbo.
...which is really difficult to believe when she goes around calling random women 'babe'.
Tommy: [spotting Jane & Frankie] The police got us surrounded.
Random girl: You're so funny, Tommy.
Jane: [flashing her badge] Actually, babe. Move.
Ooookay then.
So, the random baseball player did it. I am amazed by how little I care.
The episode wraps up with a scene that, at the latest, cements Jane and Maura's relationship as M.A.R.R.I.E.D. A family dinner at Maura's! Good Lord. And it totally looks as if Jane and Angela are now living there as well.
And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
Yeah, that was pretty gay right there.
