"rizzoli & isles" The Complete Fourth Season

The complete fourth season of "rizzoli & isles" again features Angie Harmon as Detective Jane Rizzoli and Sasha Alexander as Dr. Maura Isles.  This is my favorite season to date and I'm disappointed that the fifth season is not yet available on DVD!

In addition to solving homicides (and there are some interesting cases here with some unexpected outcomes!) this season takes us into the personal lives of Jane and Maura at a deeper level that really allows us to gain more insights into them and their families.  Every member of Jane's family is highlighted at some point in the series including her father who divorced and abandoned her mother and moved off to Florida.  He's in for a surprise when he discovers his ex-wife is a new person -- a very strong woman with a new life that doesn't include him.

Maura is drawn into the lives of her birth family including her gangster grandfather who never wanted her to be born.  As she struggles to be a sister and a daughter/granddaughter, Jane provides support and some great insights.

Jane is also struggling over her relationship with Lt. Col. Casey Jones.  He returns to Boston on leave and asks her to marry him.  However, he's in line for a promotion and could become a general - something he's always wanted.  How can Jane ask him to leave the Army now?  On the other hand, how can he ask Jane to leave a job that she loves and is very good at.  Maura finds it hard to be objective because she doesn't want Jane to leave either.

The season ends -- as do a lot of seasons -- with unresolved questions thus my disappointment at not being able to start season 5 immediately!  pazt
