Review: Rizzoli & Isles, 4x10, 'Built For Speed'

Rizzoli & Isles
Season 4, Episode 10
'Bulit For Speed'
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Quick Summary: When a late-night amateur drag race turns deadly, the squad works quickly to solve what turns out to be a particularly dangerous case. As evidence unfolds, Jane suspects that the motive for murder may have been an attempt to conceal drug trafficking. However, when she turns to Lt. Martinez for help he seems to be thwarting her investigation.

Review: Okay, at the beginning I need to say that I cannot, nor I will even try to be impartial when it comes to this particular show, but I swear I will try to do this review justice.

It's hard to say that this episode was disappointing although it was far from perfect.

From valid sources we know that the writers of the show are trying to create a relationship between Maura and Jane's younger brother – Frankie. We can see a first poor attempt at the beginning of the episode, when medical examiner makes a blunt comment about man's choice of clothing. Good one here, writers, I can give that to you. But seeing the dynamics – or rather the lack of it - between Maura and Frankie since the first season, everyone can just safely assume that this is not going to happen. And if it does, 8.5 million viewers will just shake their heads at the same time.

Crime scene involves a burned victim, Giovanni - who thankfully happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and also... another potential boyfriend for our lovely doctor.

BT is quite good looking man, I admit. And he's smart too, a fact that doesn't go unnoticed by Maura. Here we go again, Tamaro. Fool us once, shame on us, fool us twice? Seriously? And that poor choice of BT's words to show how amazed he is with blond pathologist. Didn't we hear the exact same words falling from Jane's mouth last season? Well, at least you try.

We also hear Jane mentioning Casey for about three seconds. Just enough to remind us how straight our girls are. Good job!

Although this episode was filled with few flaws here and there, I am never disappointed with humorous part of the show. There are a lot of scenes where you can laugh out loud or simply smile with endearment. All brought to you by extremely talented Harmon and Alexander.

Well, you can see this has clearly been a review of a sad Rizzles shipper, but putting my feelings aside for a second: few mistakes are for sure not enough to skip this episode (or any other for that matter). It is easy to watch and definitely leaves you waiting impenitently for another one. Handful of great actors and pinch of humor is everything you need on Tuesday evening.
