S05.E02: Goodbye - Rizzoli & Isles [V]

July 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Those pictures got to me.

I'm not yet back in the Tuesday night routine, so I missed the first airing completely and missed the first 15 minutes of the repeat.

I felt for the actors, especially Angie Harmon.  It's really hard for actors to do scenes like this when a character's death is necessitated by their co-star's; their own emotion is so strong that it can inform their portrayal, but to really let that in is just too much -- to feel their character's despair and their own at the same time is overwhelming.  I'm glad they had a bit of a break between LTY's death and the filming of Frost's funeral.

But I'm confused on the music choice -- was it Amazing Grace on the bagpipes that Korsak finally chose?  Because that's a no-brainer that doesn't require the discovery of a recently-played album.  (Having said that, it did strike a chord in my heart since it's what my mom wants played at her funeral.)  The only other music was the instrumental used in the score, so I think that was it; anti-climactic for all the build-up they did.  And speaking of that instrumental, was it a slowed-down version of What a Wonderful World? 

I'm completely turned off by the promo for next week, but I choose to just concentrate on this goodbye.
