Words can hardly express how much I love the production design of Grimm and Finch's mostly-plaid wardrobe in Person of Interest.



Grimm, for all that it's been slow to find its feet, has been beautifully designed from the outset. Here's a screenshot from this week's episode. The whole ep featured these same saturated red and turquoise tones, and it was so gorgeous that it almost overshadowed the much-improved plot line by Amy Berg.

(Obscure-ish TV joke: Detective Britten wouldn't know which reality he was in!)

And Finch's overcoat was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it in this week's Person of Interest. It played a role in the plot and everything! I worried about that coat when he took it off, and I was delighted to see that he was still wearing it in the last scene. I hope it makes another guest appearance!

I didn't realize it was the finale. Very interesting! I'll miss it over the summer. I wish the networks would stop adhering to the "school year" concept of entertainment and give us more new stuff starting in the summer months!

Me, too. Summertime is hibernation-time here. Burn Notice should be starting up soon, if you watch that.

Speaking of The Good Wife, I was on wikipedia to see when this season was ending and I noticed something amazing. They have a really high ratio of female writers and episodes written by female writers. I'm super-impressed.

The percentage of females shows in the writing. For the most part, the women characters are more like real woman than just about anything you ever see on American network television. Do they all wear completely different outfits every single day? Yes they do. Are any of them especially fat or homely? Nope. But still! Two of them are 60 or older, and all of them are awesome, from Grace to Jackie, and all are complex and fully realized and interesting.

I was wrong! It wasn't the finale!

Yay! I know! I'm watching the final finale right this minute. It's good! I need a Finch icon.

No, wait--it said "Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode." Could there be one more before the season ends???

Because that was quite the little note of suspense there at the end!

I just looked on wikipedia. There are two more eps after tonight. I haven't seen tonight's ep yet so no spoilers, please.
