So, season six ended with the kiss above, and season seven started two weeks after. Now, with episode one, I loved it, even if the case seemed a little... Run of the mill. I loved the interactions between Jane and Lisbon, even if they'd decided to keep their relationship quiet. Hey, I didn't even mind that Pike was in that episode. (p.s. I love Pedro Pascal, but I didn't like Marcus Pike very much). Then as the episodes move along, they get stronger as a couple, and the cases are sometimes more 'out there' than ever before, with lots of "let's get Lisbon to be the focus" like sending her undercover and pretending to be psychic whilst Jane is sick. I adored every minute of that, especially as it didn't seem boring, or too domesticated.
This was the episode that really got to me. I mean, I could totally understand Jane's issues with Lisbon being in danger, especially after Angela and Charlotte, but the part that really got me was, this is the SEVENTH season. This isn't the first or the second where I could probably be more accepting of it, no.
They have known each other over twelve years, worked together for at least ten of them, all the while Lisbon has always been a cop, and Jane has always known that. I mean, I feel for the guy, but he knew who she was before they got into it a a couple, so really?!
Ugh, as you can probably tell, I did not like that storyline of Jane wanting Lisbon to quit, and throwing little fits whenever she wouldn't (I might be exaggerating but it irritates me a little), until we got to Michelle Vega's death.
Now, I don't know about you, but I like Vega, I really did. I was upset when she died, and the characters were too. I understand that but I was then disgusted by Jane's behaviour. Dress it up however you want, but at the end of the day, he ran away and left his girlfriend alone at a funeral. Which played on Lisbon's fears of him leaving her again, reasonable enough considering all the other time he's left her.
Those issues don't really get resolved, and whilst I adored the marriage and the news of a baby coming along, I felt that it wasn't really wrapped up. I wanted to know more. Like, does Lisbon carry on working? How does Wylie cope with Vega's death? How do they all cope with Vega's death? What's Cho really like as the boss? How does Jane cope with being a father again?
As you can see, I still have many questions left, and no more episodes to watch in hope of answers. Still, I loved it, despite my irritation with it, and I wish it had been longer.
Let me know what you guys think, and you can leave any requests for reviews in the comments too.
