Subtext Review of "Money For Nothing" 1x05 [Rizzoli & Isles]

[thejollyape]

This is not something I say very often, but the subtext of this show and episode is actually tiring, but tiring in that good wholesome way like chlorinated water in your eyes, saunas on cold days or just old fashioned sexing

Slash googles truly are the best thing since sliced bread.

And I love to see I'm not the only one seeing things. I take comfort in numbers :D

The "I got your back" comment was incredibly sweet. The way it spread that tentative smile on Rizzoli's lips. Yeah, I am so gone on these two.

Oh, and thank you :)

You had me at the Spaniards' El Dorado. *giant smile*

I LOVED this review! I enjoy watching the episodes myself and theorizing what's going on, but when I come along a review that really deconstructs everything in such a logical, thought provoking, humerous way, I enjoy the episode even more.

I loved the small things you picked up on, and your insight. Are you planning on writing any more reviews? Because I'd love to see them! You diagnose Rizzisle subtext (maintext!) perfectly, and I can only imagine how much more I'll enjoy the show and the wonderful relationship between the two women.

Thank you for sharing!

I know. The love might be there, but once you start exploring and seeing what other people have to say about it, well the love just seems to multiply and spread throughout you. Obsessions are best shared.

Hopefully will tackle the other episodes as well. Then it's just a matter of how much real-life intrudes and conspires to distract me from typing it all up. But definitely planning on doing some more.

And thank you for commenting :)

Great summary Ape, I think you cover up everything XD My fav scene is the last one <3 I love that bar already

[thejollyape]

Hehe. The bar has quickly become synonymous with good times. Think my favourite bar scene so far is the one with Isles eating peanuts though. There's just something about that one.

Thanks :)

Oh my dear Jolly! It's been so long since I've read your subtext reviews, and I'm so tickled that you're taking on R&I.

I can't wait to see what you have to say about the newest episode. :D LOL!

I thought this was a virtual subfest, but ep 6...well that's gonna require an entire weekend and lots of caffeine just to get me through the bigger elements of subtext. Seriously I am amazed and in awe of how gay this mainstream show actually is. And it feels good ;D
