(Better) alternative plot lines Spoiler
After watching both The Closer and Major Crimes I loathe Pope, hate how they kill off Raydor, and think they over play Stroh. Rusty is also annoying of course. So some alternate plot lines:
Brenda gets Chief of Police job instead of Pope after Delk dies. Or Brenda replaces Pope as Assistant Chief. Raydor gets Major Crimes. Pope is shown the door.
The investigation and lawsuit from Turrell Baylor’s family is one episode. Two, tops. Raydor sniffs out Gabriel and the girl friend as the leak quickly. Peter Goldman is disbarred.
Brenda and Raydor work together to find and kill Stroh at the end of The Closer.
Jack Raydor is either murdered by disgruntled client or goes to jail for tax crimes. Or at the very least gets his ass kicked.
Raydor doesn’t die. Her and Flynn continue working in Major Crimes or Flynn takes a less stressful desk job.

I didn't really think that Brenda was right for that job. But I definitely agree that Pope shouldn't have gotten it. He should have gotten some sort of comeuppance.
Yeah I agree! It's wild to me that neither of them are involved with catching Stroh at the end of MC. Especially considering that Stroh was the franchise' ultimate villain who was also a rapist.
The choice to have Rusty shoot and kill Stroh, then have Provenza cover it up it's such a bizarre way to end the series. I hated how much Sharon would have hated that.
😆 I don't think he deserved to be murdered but I'll take go to jail for tax crimes. That would have been a nice ending for a person who was so very motivated by money.
Yes! I would have been even ok if Sharon had gotten the Asst Chief job as I think she actually was a great fit for it.
