webbgirlNo real squee about last night's ep, just some thoughts.
The whole Tony/Jeanne thing is starting to bug. Not because I dislike her (I'm rather neutral about her at this point), but because of the way they keep teasing with it. There have been indications all along that she was somehow involved in an assignment that Tony has been working. These hints are problematic no matter how it turns out.
1) If it turns out that Jeanne really is an assignment for Tony, protection or spying, then he crossed a professional line when he fell for her. It happens and this is actually the lesser of two evils for me and I still think the more likely scenario. If this is the case though, I'm still sticking with the 'Little Joe' scenario where she dies come season finale. Granted, she could just give him the big kiss off for lying to her this whole time...but knowing DPB, he's going to go for the more dramatic.
2) If it turns out that she's not part of a case (which I don't really see happening), and he really is just dating and falling in love with her? This will most likely be my last season for watching. If he's not having to see her as part of a case, that means that he's been ditching work for personal reasons and lying about it. Lying to her about his name and presumably his job. And he's been lying to his friends. After such a great view of competent!Tony at the end of last season and start of this one...showing him completely screw up like that would be the end for me.
Also? Have we ever heard him pronounce her first name before? Because mentally I was pronouncing it in the Anglicized version, not the French. I was a little surprised last night when I heard him say it. The fact that it is the French pronunciation lends weight to the theory that she's related to La Grenouille.
Speaking of Froggy. I'm still curious as to what happened with him and Jen. She really is looking like either a jilted girlfriend or victim when it comes to dealing with him. Clearly there's something intensely personal going on there.
I'm going to rewatch last night's ep later today because I know there were squeeful moments, but the whole relationship thing has me a bit stuck at the moment.

You gotta admit that's a sexy Armand Assante. I'd like to have that picture on my wall. Rowr!

I would *totally* keep Armand Assante's pic up on my wall! Actually, seeing him in NCIS makes me want to watch the movie I fell for him in. Belizaire the Cajun. It's still one of my favorite movies.
I think with DPB I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop and see how he's going to screw the audience over. (Nope, not bitter at all about past experiences with him. *g*)
