1.    What was the first episode of Major Crimes that you ever watched? Reloaded.

2.       Why did you start watching & what keeps you coming back? Mary. I love her work so much, and I always loved her character of Sharon (even though I didn’t watch The Closer as regularly, I loved watching her foil BLJ at every turn, so once I heard about MC I watched the first episode and then went back and watched TC in full to catch up). Now I keep coming back for Mary and all her fabulousness, but also the stories and the characters. No matter its faults, Major Crimes is one of the best police procedurals I’ve ever watched.

3.       Top Three Characters: Sharon Raydor, Provenza, Andrea Hobbs.

4.       OTP and when/what ep you started shipping them? Shandy. I started shipping them the second I saw them on screen together (Reloaded, that morgue scene, and later in Sharon’s first episode when he’s glaring at her over that red tape… phew!) And I started shipping them purely because they looked hot together. I am literally that shallow. And because hot-head-falls-for-cool-as-ice-and-they-balance-each-other-out is probably my 4th favourite tv trope.

5.       Fic or Vid rec: *cracks knuckles* Bring it. For fic: - Anything by Isolith is always phenomenal. Seriously, read her entire anthology of works. But especially A Matter of Perspective and The Wild Flowers Grow. Just do yourself the privilege. - Miss Shannon is consistently amazing, my favourite being Now and Then. - Ivy Kendall has some great works; I love Man Friday because it’s so darn cute. - A Tangled Web by SChimes, but really everything by SChimes because they’re such brilliant stories. 

For vids: - Irish Lass does some great work, always well thought out and meaningful. - I love sharon & andy | accidentally by TivaLover09 - sharon + andy || yeah boy. by Angelin is super cute - The latest ‘Stitches’ by xoxNIENKE is very well made - And an oldie but a goodie Shandy || Classic by Debbora Rayydor is super fun and super cute and includes all the goofy Sharon moments.

6.       What song reminds you of your ship/show the most atm: I Belong To You by Ben Abraham. He’s a local Aussie artist (huge talent! amazing to hear live! And he sung with Sara Bareilles!) and it’s the cutest song, and you can buy his album on iTunes and hell yeah I will plug this. (you can hear the demo version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR56NL7pZq0)

7.       Which case has moved you the most: Boys Will Be Boys was harrowing. And Matty’s video in The Deep End still brings me to tears.

8.       Potaydor or AndRoo: I want to say AndRoo for the Aussie pride, but I have to say Potaydor, because that started it all, and is golden.

9.       Rusty Beck, love him, hate him, or somewhere in between?: I swing wildly between love and hate, depending on the writing and the circumstances. I don’t care about his current story, or the way he is often shoehorned into the crime-of-the-week for convenience, but I do love his character and the family dynamic he brings.

10.   Darth Raydor or Momma Sharon?: Both. Honestly, it is so gosh darn refreshing to see a female character who can be ALL THAT! AT THE SAME TIME! and not lose the integrity of her character. She can flip on a dime, and that is so realistic; she has all of these different facets bottled inside her and they come out in different ways and with different people, and it’s just amazing.

Bonus Question: James Duff, kiss or kill?: Oh no, kiss. If I didn’t want to kill him so much he wouldn’t be doing his job so well, so we have to kiss him for that.

That song by Ben Abraham is so beautiful, I’m all tearing up here.
