so the series is over.
the last episode (s5e11) was basically cameo city with every guest star (dead or alive) that appeared on the series since the beginning.
everyone except FBI asst Director Bethany Mayfair played by
Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
scheduling didn't work out executive producer Martin Gero says.
also, Agent Reade was killed off at the beginning of Season 5 but i cant find out the specific reason why they booted him off the show.
"There were some
business reasons why we needed to kill off one of the cast members. That was just the reality of doing the show," creator
Martin Gero tells ET.
but what are these business decisions? was it cost?
they had to reduce budget for season 5 in order to have one???
Anyway, s5e11 was the 100th episode.
thats the magic # to get lucrative syndication deals.
and the final scene ended the way the show started...
a very fitting closure.
edit:
list of all the reoccurring characters and major guest stars plus their fate:
edit2:
Jaimie Alexander must sit in the make-up chair for 7 1/2 hours to have all the elaborate tattoos applied to her body for each day's shooting.
thats one hell of a long day for her for each shoot.
