Trivia
In an interview given the day after the show's cancellation, creator James Duff revealed that he and Kyra Sedgwick had a three-episode deal for her to act at some point on Major Crimes, but they could never worked out their schedules and a worthy storyline at the same time.

Goofs
A running action through the series was to casually slip a Miranda warning to suspects the squad wanted to question, a carryover from The Closer (2005). In 2010, though, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that an explicit acknowledgment that the person understands their Miranda rights must be given. This did not always occur on the series -- thus any confessions which were made based on warnings whose consequences were not specifically acknowledged by interrogees would likely have been ruled inadmissible.

Rusty character has got to go.

Major Crimes is a very good crime drama indeed.

But I just don't understand the Rusty character. What is he supposed to be exactly? Why is he in the squad room while all the detectives are discussing the case (any case for that matter)? Why is he in the video room while the detectives and sometimes the ADA are watching an interview with a potential suspect?

I'm pretty sure no police organization in the world would allow such bull.

Why is his dialogue so LONG and TEDIOUS, having nothing to do with the show at all?

I'm trying to figure out the point of having him in the show and of course, what are the writers thinking.

Like one reviewer said, automatic fast forward with he's in the scene.
