The Rusty Deathclock Continues On This Week's Episode Of 'Major Crimes'.

Nothing gives me more joy than watching one of my favorite shows just in the hopes that they will kill off one of the characters. Major Crimes is a great show with great chemistry between all the characters save one - RUSTY, the street kid who saw a murder and who now lives with the Captain as sorta her son. He wines about everything and needs a good slap most days. He chased off a really REALLY cute girl who would have banged him. I also can't believe how much the adults in this show indulge this crybaby. But the creators have so much invested in all this 'Rusty' stuff that the only way it ends with ANY kind of payoff is with this annoying punk's death. I for one will not cry.

Will it happen TONIGHT? I hope so but no way they give me an early Christmas present. This is for a two part half season cliff hanger once the kid goes undercover to solve his own crime. Yeh, that will work out well. No mortal danger there. I should have bet against him living to the end of the season. I could have made a fortune. Yes, I actively wish for his death. Not the actor who plays him. That would be a terrible thing to wish for. Although, for the rest of my life, every time I see this actor I will think of Rusty - poor dead Rusty. At that moment I will smile.

 

“As on-screen threats against the teen murder witness intensify, could Rusty’s days come to an end on the TNT drama’s August 19 summer finale?

“Rusty is in a lot of jeopardy,” confirms executive producer James Duff. “There’s a major turn in his story as we kick it up a notch in terms of what this boy must suffer. And there’s a very good chance that his actions in the past will come back to bite him.” Rusty’s fate — death, or perhaps a transfer to the witness-protection program — will go unresolved until the series returns this winter, at which time Sharon will consider divorcing her absentee husband.
