#monk and sharona

[rainbowheart-princess]

I just finished watched Mr. Monk and Sharona from season 8, and wow.

The opening scene was great. I love that Adrian washed out his eyes to double check that he was actually seeing and talking to Sharona. The chemistry between Monk and Sharona hasn't faded at all, and like they said in the 2008 interview, it's as if Bitty Schram haven't left at all. She still portrayed Sharona so well, and made me rethink why I always liked her and Adrian together.

When Monk kept touching Sharona's bag to see if she had the ticket, and Sharona was pushing his hands away. And Monk kept doing it, and Sharona pushed his hands away again, before admiting she doesn't have it. Or When Sharona got the wipes from the drawer, and gived one to Monk, and Monk smiled at her saying "You still got it." Ah I loved that scene. (I would put gifts of the scene, but I do not know how to make gifs). Also, when Benjy was mentioned, it warmed my heart.

I was mainly disappointed with this episode because I expected Sharona and Monk to solve the crime... Sharona and Monk style for old times' sake (as well as to thoroughly please the Sharona fans), but because Natalie is also Monk's assistant, it was obvious they were going with the two women argue for which one is the better assistant, before making up and capturing the criminal together plot, which I didn't mind. I just really wished we had more moments with Adrian and Sharona in this episode. I mean, it is titled Mr. Monk and Sharona.

I love when Stottlemeyer spoke to Adrian about how different Sharona and Natalie are, and he's correct. There are so different, and I liked them both because of that.

It was amusing when it was revealed that Adrian paid Sharona $20 more than Natalie, and Monk's excuses were funny as well. I'm glad Adrian and Sharona shared a beautiful embraced after her little speech. I'm not good with numbers, but I think that's like the third time they have hugged. Which isn't that bad, since Adrian and Sharona has been together for 35+ episodes (including this one), and neither initiate the hugs—well... Sharona initiated all three, but hopefully you guys know what I mean.

And ugh! When Sharona was like "I know that look. I hate that look." because she knows that Monk knows ther her uncle's death wasn't an accident, but murder. Ugh! And it hurts Monk because he knows it wasn't an accident, and since it wasn't an accident, Sharona won't be able to get the money from the golf company. Aw my. It's a good thing the ending didn't disappoint :)

Another thing: I didn't liked that Sharona and Randy dated—not because I shipped Adrian and Sharona. I didn't liked it because I believed the two shouldn't dated because of familiarity. Randy should've dated another girl, or a girl he had an onscreen relationship with. Crystal came to mind. I also don't think they suit each other besides the surface level (this is funny since I ship Adrian and Sharona together). Although he's the comedic relief of the show(which I believed hindered some of his character development), Randy had shown incompetency which would annoy Sharona. There's more reasons, but if yiu ship them together, that's cool as well. There's no rules to shipping. Those are my personal reasons. There's someone of you guys who probably reached reached the idea of Adrian and Sharona together, and that's okay.

Overall, the episode was okay. It reminds me why I miss Sharona so much. Tony's and Bitty's chemistry is still through the roof. I wonder what behind the scenes of that episode looked like.

Although most fans in Fandom aren't on this train, I ship Adrian and Sharona. What do you like about Sharona and Monk? Why do you ship it?

Welcome aboard :)

I just really love how Monk is comfortable with Sharona, and feels safe with her. He isn’t a touchy-feely guy, but he’s still intimate with her (I haven’t seen the show in years, so I can’t bring up examples).

And the way Sharona takes care of Monk 🥹. Is she annoyed by him sometimes? Yes. But all of the time, she accepted his OCD and the things that come with that.

They’re just sweet together

Sharona Fleming is everything to me. She was a single mother with a deadbeat ex-husband. She was abrasive. She loved her son so much. She was impatient. She was protective. She was sexually active and not above using her sexuality to get what she wants. She was an emergency room nurse before meeting Monk. She was a nude model for a while to pay her bills. She was a full-time caregiver both professionally and personally. She wore knee-high heeled boots. She was a good sleuth in her own right. She had a phobia of elephants. She had a love-hate competitive relationship with her younger sister. She whole-heartedly belived in Monk's abilities even though she could be annoyed by his eccentricities. She looked for love, sometimes in the wrong places. She had a father who owned a hardware store, who suffered a mental breakdown and died when she was 12. She believed in psychics. She was terrified of ending up like her father. She picked Monk back up when he was at a horrible point in his life. She took writing courses at night school. She was kind.

[underture]

So when she died... Yeah. I think it was a message for me. She was saying, "I have to let go now for a little while. But it won't be forever."
