Winning numbers

If that Orlando bastard killed three people in a gay bar, would the country notice?

Social media would shrug. What's three dead gays?

But 49 dead?

That's news, baby!

Size matters.

I'll miss them when they're gone

The TV show "Rizzoli & Isles" is on its last legs, which is a good thing. The show's fun; occasionally the murders investigated actually give a viewer a challenge. Briefly. The characters have depth.

However ...

The show's logic is slipping. In the first three episodes of its final season, the Medical Examiner's Office issued reports on forensics such as fingerprints, automobiles, and ballistics.

Cheap and lazy ...

The producers didn't want to pay actors to play forensics experts. That's the cheap part. The lazy part is not writing the script to credit the fictional facts to an off-screen forensics department and let the on-screen cops and doctors discuss their meaning.

I still love the fact that the show is set in Boston, with main characters born and bred there. Hilariously, Rizzoli sounds like she's from Texas, just like actress Angie Harmon. Nobody even tries the Boston accent.

Lazy at the start, lazy at the end.
