Before we get started with the Major Crimes season finale Facebook chat recap (what a mouth full), I want to take a moment to tell you about the Major Crimes Cast & Crew Cookbook.
All proceeds from this cookbook go to the wonderful Sunshine Kids Foundation, which helps children with cancer. Such a great cause and, really, who doesn't like to mix cooking and murder? We certainly do. You can order your copy here for only $25 plus $5 shipping. Thanks to Dee Dee for the heads up on this one.
And now on to the recap...
This week James Duff was back answering Major Crimes' questions on Facebook. It's really a great opportunity for the fans to reach our directly to the co-creator of both The Closer and Major Crimes. The volume of questions has gotten so high since James started this that it is no longer possible to match questions with answers. Luckily, James is good at summarizing the questions in his answers. I've removed everything that was specific what was happening in the episode for those that haven't watched it yet.
James Duff I had lots of help directing this sequence from Michael M. Robin, my producing partner and a genius behind the camera. Also our Directors of Photography, David Harp and Ken Zunderman knocked it out of the park.
James Duff I have always wanted to work with Jeri Ryan and she does such an amazing job It was a dream cone true. And for those who say her dress doesn't look right for a defense attorney, I can only say, "You haven't seen the defense attorneys I've seen!" Actually, I'm only sorry she has the one dress!
James Duff Some of our episodes are mysteries; some are thrillers; some just make you want to have Jeri Ryan defending you! Adam's suggestion!
James Duff Dally wants to know if we'll meet Flynn's ex and children. The answer depends on whether we get more episodes next season. Right now we're only doing fifteen.
James Duff For people asking how the filming was done, we used a lot of flashbacks in this episode. And for the family watching Major Crimes together with the one-year-old that likes Flynn, we are grateful to the next generation of viewers!!!
James Duff This guest cast is one of the best we've ever assembled. And more Jeri Ryan and Malcom-Jamal Warner is just what we'd like to do!
James Duff Rusty's mother, and the mother of our killer, have a lot of similarities.
James Duff Welcome back Ron Marasco as Judge Grove!
James Duff Some people asking about Sharon and Flynn, and why Sharon is still married: stay tuned for Season Three! Do you guys really want to see Andy and Sharon on a date, or are you just wanting to watch Provenza explode?
James Duff Todd Hare makes me laugh by suggesting Jonathan Del Arco and Jeri Ryan are going to assimilate Major Crimes!
James Duff Mary says Provenza needs a girlfriend in season three! Adam says he would love to write Provenza's next date!
James Duff Jon Tenney is back, and it's always good to have Jon around! And in Act Two, we enter the pre-trial hearing!
James Duff For those asking about Phillip Stroh, and why we decided to deal with it this year, the answer is: we didn't want to take as long as it does in real life. But the truth is, a motivated suspect can postpone a death penalty case for a very, very long!
James Duff Those who are asking if the end of Phillip Stroh is also the end of Major Crimes, the answer is no!
James Duff Augusts Prew plays the bad guy here, and he's really, really bad.
James Duff Jeri Ryan's live tweeting with everyone for the next hour. #MajorCrimes
James Duff Kim asks how we are doing ratings wise. The answer is great! The week-before-last, we were in the top ten shows of all of television (excluding sports).
James Duff Rebecca asks what happened to Chief Pope. He was promoted to Chief of Police and now travels a lot and goes to policy review meetings and fun stuff like that. He had nothing to do with shutting down lanes on the George Washington Bridge

James Duff Stephanie asks if the writers ever scare themselves with how bad the bad guys are, Adam says "It's the darkness of James Duff!" But I do scare myself. I would hate to meet some of these murderers on the street.
James Duff Worst bad guy since Phillip Stroh. So disturbing.
