‘Major Crimes’ season 4, episode 5 review: Did Flynn ask Raydor out on a date?
There is something to us that is very fun about watching Flynn and Raydor’s romantic arc on “Major Crimes.” These are two characters who have been around the show (not to mention “The Closer”) a very long time, but haven’t really gone to this place just yet. This is a chance for them to try something different, and we personally find it exciting. This is definitely a prime example of two people whose relationship started as friends, and it has evolved into something that could be more.
As of right now, this is probably still much too early to tell one way or another what is going to be taking place. All we know is that Flynn asked her out, and the two are going to at least have an opportunity to enjoy some dinner together.
As for the case of the week, we were not necessarily that invested into that, mostly because we’ve seen so many stories as the one we had here. Yes, we understand that it is hard to be a snitch, and guarantees of protection and all that sometimes mean nothing. As far as procedural stories go, this one was a pretty clear miss to us, and one of the dullest of the season.
However, continuing to see Rusty move forward on the Alice case is interesting to watch, even if we are only seeing tiny fragments of it due to his need to work on it alone. He realizes now just what sort of trouble it could get Raydor in if he was to rope her in now. He doesn’t want to complicate things, and after tonight’s episode we find him even more fascinating. Grade: B-.

I luv the Sharon and Andy storyline. The thing I don’t like is that the writers are dragging it out. They feature them then the next week they act like they’re nothing but friends. It’s kinda ridiculous. Finally the thing that makes me yarn is Rusty. Why is every episode wrapped around him? I want to see more Andy and Sharon and alot less Rusty.

I thought this episode was excellent. I thought it was really important that they showed how dangerous it can be to be a witness, and I thought Sykes was excellent throughout. Very intelligent, and caring, but also really bada$$ (grill lid to the face of the suspect). Sharon (and even Taylor, sort of) was an outstanding leader, giving Sykes room to protect her witness. I liked that even though the focus was on Sykes, with a sub-focus on Rusty, all of the other characters got their moment—Sanchez screaming at the suspect, but winking to the guys in the electronics room, like, “don’t worry, I’ve got this under control;” Tao telling Amy that if anyone needed to be shot, she had to do it, and Provenza figuring out that Sykes had a witness. However, my favorite moment was the end with Sharon and Flynn. He was adorably nervous, she hesitated just the right amount, and then, her little walkaway giggle and “Oh my god,” was just PERFECT. I’ve waited a long, long time for that moment. Hope there is much more of that in the future.
