GAME OF THE NAME: GOVERNOR HOLCOMBE


"RIZZOLI & ISLES'
"MISCONDUCT GAME"


According to this episode, the governor of Massachusetts is named Holcombe.  It is not Deval Patrick as is the case in the Trueniverse.  When I first started the Toobworld Dynamic, this would have been a no-no for Earth Prime-Time.  I've relaxed my rules on all but the President and Vice President when it comes to who holds office in the main Toobworld.  


One possibility for who Holcomb is could be Donald Holcombe.  Holcombe was involved with the D.A.'s office in Pittsburgh back in 1990.  He was played by James O'Sullivan and only appears in two episodes ("Without Justice" & "Opening Farewell"), but it's likely that he would have been a lawyer, given the show's setting.


In the quarter century since, Donald Holcombe may have moved back to Massachusetts and immersed himself in the commonwealth's political scene which would have eventually led to the governership.

But of course that all depends on what happened in those two episodes.....

BCnU!
