I've stated that I'd love for them to revive Frankie Drake Mysteries in light of getting closer to ww1, but if we don't want to do that, might I suggest a new spinoff show: Freddie Pink Investigations?

Frankie is so often really condescending to the people she interacts with. Then she gets frustrated when they don't cooperate with her. Gee. I wonder why. If she used that attitude asking me anything I would refuse even if it was something simple. A good detective are supposed to get people to lower their guard and share knowledge in confidence (like Trudy does multiple times). But Frankies method seems to be aggravating people and then pushing them into a corner. Or going to the police. The number of times she threatens to call the cops or brags about her connections with the police department... Sigh.

I strongly dislike how she acts like she deserves to know everything just because she asks. She has no delicacy and I don't remember her giving the people she expects information from anything. Even though it's beyond obvious the people she's asking leading questions to & sensitive information from are risking a lot even talking to her. Often she doesn't even manage a thank you.

She does so little of the work herself (most of it is Trudy & Mary) but takes all the credit.

Also. Her costumes. What. In. The. Seven. Hells. Every other character is at least vaguely era-appropriate. But Frankies costumes get progressively worse. In season 3 she looks like she's from the present and just raided a school theaters wardrobe.

I need to breathe a bit because when I get worked up my pain gets worse. So rant over for now. I will be listening to the rain & try to think about other stuff for a while.

I just went on a whirlwind Google search tour of some of the sapphic ships from TV shows I had when I was young and first finding fanfic and fandom.

Xena: Warrior Princess was probably my first TV based sapphic ship and the thing that opened up this idea of a fandom community for me. Before that, fanfic had been me, a pencil and paper, and rewriting my favourite books just for me. Entirely solitary.

But with Xena, there was this wonderful Xena website which had an episode-by-episode subtext analysis that I just poured over time and time again (Still accessible now via Oocities), and a community around it full of people analysing the same sapphic subtext that had drawn me to search in the first place. I've rewatched the Xena episodes multiple times over the years.

It was the others I had forgotten about. As I started to remember actors and shows, I was reminded of how many fics I wrote (long since lost or thrown away) for these fandoms, trying to find some kind of sapphic representation in shows that I really don't think had even an inkling of it. (Xena aside)

Shows like Cleopatra 2525, with Helen Carter and Sarge.

Like Mutant X, with Shalimar Fox and Emma deLauro.

Like Andromeda, with Beka Valentine and Trance Gemini.

I know there probably isn't anything to the sapphic headcanons I had when I was younger, beyond the wishful thinking of someone looking for representation at a time where it just wasn't really there. As much as I'm tempted to rewatch some of the shows, I dread that time has not been kind to the memories I have of them.

It does make me smile that Lauren Lee Smith starred in another show that I loved - Frankie Drake Mysteries - 20 years after I watched her in Mutant X.

Maybe one day I'll try and do a timeline of all the fandoms, tiny and big, which have made up a part of the sapphic fandoms I love. At one time or another, they held some importance for me, and I'm wondering how how many others I've forgotten over the years.

Why so many cahiers

I own several cahiers/notebooks with no specific use or purpose. Maybe I bought them because they seemed cute, pretty or whatever. Most of them don't have an even medium quality paper.

The thing is- I've thought about to write and ¿"illustrate"? my few original characters & what's related to them.

(i. e. : birthplace-> its language, dialects, folklore, History, gastronomy, traditions; profession-> its world, some History, how it worked at the time... those things, the mostly accurate possible having in mind that creative freedom/artistic license would be present since it's just fiction & I'll write it just for me, for myself. But anyway, it would imply tons of research; even if it's fantasy, nowadays I don't feel right, comfortable, creating out of the blue. And needless to say, my suspension of disbelief has been waning over the years. Well- the "speech" is way too long. Not thick, but long)

Should I use these cahiers with crappy paper... or bought anoter one where I could use glue, washi tape and those things...?

Re re re watching Frankie Drake and Rizzoli and Isles.

And it occurred to me why I actually was able to ship everyone in their cannon ships as well as each other with Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries.

Jack Robinson can be a bit bull headed at times, but he respects, appreciates and when he can, involves Miss Fisher.

Hugh Collins is a bit of a dumb puppy, but he is sweet, gentle, and he comes around and shows respect for Dot.

Most of “Frankies men” dismiss her or treat her like shit (Mr Moses Page excepted...need more of him in the show)

The men they wrote for Rizzoli (or Isles’) love interests? from the damn garbage can they were so....uuuuuuuuugh.

That’s why I mostly refuse to canon ship. Good men and good drama can be written together, and be interesting. Hugh and Jack are absolute beacons of that.

If you’re a show runner/writer, and you REALLy want people to ship your ships the canon way, Please.... Take a page from Hugh and Jack, and write decent people.

Otherwise, why are you show runners complaining? You did this.

Frankie Drake couldve been amazing and its own thing. The costuming and filmography make it look like a dollar store Miss Fisher. And thats a shame cuz the writing is good and most of the acting is good.

The costumes somehow get cheaper by s2. Wtf is this abomination?

It not only has no basis for 1920s its just fucking hideous. And while her hair is pretty it makes no sense for a stated flapper in the 20s. Like…what was the decision making here? Did someone go to spirit halloween and grab a fringe flapper costume?

Anyway its a shame cuz Nora and Trudy’s actresses fucking nail everything. Nora even nails the high speed flapper talk. I knew the costumes would annoy me but i was intrigued by a black lead and a fat lead (who are both fantastic).

Man they even act like talkies existed as standard in the mack sennett ep. Make the show about Trudy and increase the budget by 10 fold ud have a smash.

This set and costume setup looks like its from the 2010s…which it is

Just rewatched a bunch of Frankie Drake episodes & I'm so frustrated. I'm gonna be ranting about the show for a bit so if you want to skip i will tag the posts with 'f d rant'. I will also put most of it below the read more.

I really like almost every character except the titular frankie and her wardrobe/costumes makes me increasingly angry.

Trudy is a gem and I wish she was the focus. She is cunning, adventurous and could honestly run the agency by herself. She does most of the groundwork anyway & has almost all of the important contacts. Also she is gorgeous in anything.

I want more of Flo's backstory and would have really liked an episode focused on her. The other girls had at least one each so I can only assume one was planned for Flo before the show was cancelled. I just like her general vibe and the scenes she is in are always good. A woman studying on her own while holding a job she is passionate about is easy for me to relate to and Flo is a great character with strong loyal ties.

Mary is hilarious and the only thing I wish was different was that Frankie & Trudy included her more or actually gave her information back intead of just taking it from her, often without a thank you until the general 'good-job-everyone' at the episodes end. Sure she is naive and is made fun of by that by the narrative and a lot of the other characters, but she states outright that she's not living in a bubble and tries to make the best choices she has with what she's allowed to know. Considering few people (even her friends!) actually bothers to tell her relevant information in time it's no wonder her actions are sometimes misguided. I have a hard time relating to her cop-behaviour, but it's a strong motivator for her character.

I really love Wendy and she could not show up enough times! Same with Nora. She is a dynamic character that really brings excitement to any scene.
