Oh, and if it's true what I read that Raydor's character will be a major player in the "Major Crimes" spin-off ... count me out!!
OK, so Raydor now has fluffier, curlier hair than she did less season, but come on!!! Her character HAS to be softened WAY more to carry any weight at all in a spin-off of a series as fantastic as The Closer has been.

Thank y'all very much!" ... the sometimes Keystone Cops-esque antics of Flynn and Provenza. I laughed out loud ... for the third time! ... the other day watching reruns of the episode where Pope, Flynn and Provenza had unwittingly given their gratitude, evidence and business cards to a "Detective Richard Tracy"!!!
I take it this season will be missing any Alan Arkin-directed episodes ... much to my di
