Major Crimes 2.5 Homebase

Well hello there! You've reached the

MAJOR CRIMES 2.5 HOMEBASE POST!

Welcome, welcome, make yourselves comfortable. If you're not sure why you're here because you don't watch the show, go get started immediately. If you're not sure you should, go look at this primer and then get started immediately. Because the second half of season two is where we're at right now! Eight probably crazy episodes, the last of which we're talking about tonight!

(PSA: I can't actually watch the episodes until Tuesday morning (GMT) but I'll definitely be around after. And for pre-episode flailing now.)

Oh, and stealing from Tash, if you click the

on this post, you'll get emails whenever there's a new comment on this post!

SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS, OBVIOUSLY.

We have moved to this post for season three, in case you hadn't noticed yet. Come join us over there! :)

"When a newly released prisoner misses two back-to-back parole meetings, the squad is called in to track him down after the suspect’s therapist expresses concerns over his mental state. Meanwhile, Sharon invites therapist Dr. Joe Bowman to the office to evaluate Rusty over a game of chess."

WHO ELSE IS EXCITED?

The therapy bits were all perfectly done, from Dr. Joe's "I don't force therapy on people" to Sharon's "there's a difference between being mentally ill and emotionally injured speech" to the entire last scene between Joe and Rusty. I am really relieved at how well they handled it, because even the good shows tend to mishandle it some. (This is all IMO, of course--I personally found it hugely validating, but I totally respect that other people will feel differently.)

I laughed so hard at Sharon's "I'm not the kind of person who likes to get bogged down in all the rules" line. She said it with such a perfectly straight face, and the reaction of everyone around her was priceless.

My only complaints can be essentially boiled down to "there is too much murder in the murder show" and "why is there not a new episode every day?"

yessss i agree about the therapy bits. sometimes shows don't handle them well but ahhh this SHOW. <3

lol Sharon loves breaking the rules of course.

lol Sharon loves breaking the rules of course.
That screams for an AU fic tbh. Rebel Raydor.

I see we're on the exact same page re: the therapy again. Dr. Joe is perfect so far, and I really love having him as a recurring character. I think it was so important that they finally called it rape to Rusty's face because he needs to realise what it was that he went through and that it wasn't in fact his choice.

My only complaints can be essentially boiled down to "there is too much murder in the murder show" and "why is there not a new episode every day?"
+1. Why do we even need cases, really? Or any other days of the week except Monday?

RUSTYYYYYYYY

a good case, but to be honest i called the outcome at the beginning (i don't always with major crimes which is one of the things i like about it)

BUT RUSTY AND HIS THERAPY AND PEOPLE WHO LOVES HIM. BLESS EVERYTHING. and his obsession with chess i love it.

:')

Really? I didn't call it this time. At all. I have in the past, sometimes, but I guess I'm too into the character interactions to notice much else, woops. (There was an ep once that I had to watch a whole handful of times to realise what was actually going on because there was so much character stuff.)

Your Sharon icon is so pretty!

yeah i mostly don't, which is good, but this time i was like DEFINITELY THE FAMILY. and yeah usually i don't care because TEAM :D

Yeah, I'd guessed it was the sister but it definitely seemed like the family had done it.

But I'm another one who enjoys the cases well enough but is totally here for the team, so I don't always pay close attention.

yeah plus the lengths of eps are sometimes a giveaway because its never the first suspect!

:D exactly!! its all about the team

'Hey, Sanchez, do you know this guy?'
'Oh, yeah, right, 'cause all us LA Latinos, we know each other, right, Flynn? (beat) Oh, I do know him.'

F A V O U R I T E

LOL RIGHT? i laughed

Heeee. That was probably the funniest line we've had all season.
