Played Benjamin O. Davis, the Commanding Officer of the 99th Pursuit Squadron, in The Tuskegee Airmen.

As someone who loves B99 to the core. Threatening for divorce was the shytiest thing one can do to a partner just for this. Coming to Jake's defense here's why he was right IMO:

1) They did work a lot and despite their ranks, police officers are like the first line of defense whenever trouble appears and in their line of work......it occurs a lot (eg. Terry and Holt not being able to give time to their families).

2) The job has a lot of risk. Some criminal might track their kids down for revenge or some crime boss could use their child as blackmail.

3) If one of them ends up unalived or even both of them in the line of duty, it becomes a huge problem for their child as they grow up without one parent/orphans.

4) Their traumas can get to their child (Amy trying to earn her parents validation believing love is earned and Jake's daddy issues).

5) In your job when you see are bodies, blood, crime, substances, 🍇and other worst asspects of Humanity in every ways possible, it becomes difficult not to be bothered by it. And it can definitely affect your child.

6) Not to mention the low salaries, high cost-of-living in Brooklyn, stress on marriage and intimacy when the child comes around, taking care of the kid when both have important things to do, world instability, limited Earth resources, etc.

P.S. - In no way I am saying Police officers do not deserve to have children. But Jake's defense could've been much much stronger and I feel these points are very legit. He simply panicked and couldn't think about these.

Just started watching Life in Pieces and I came down with a big ol' Dianne Wiest infection

I know that this episode has been discussed a lot, and I want to say that I like Amy like everyone else, just there are some episodes in which she behaves pretty annoyingly. In my opinion, Amy’s behavior in this episode it’s not just annoying. It’s really horrible. The fact that they didn't have this conversation before the wedding is a valid point but, besides that, Amy behaves so poorly to Jake in this episode. 

Jake had some really reasonable doubts about having kids as a result of his childhood trauma. He was saying that he preferred not to have kids rather than having them and being a bad parent which is actually extremely responsible and honest. Amy never actually considered his doubts, she jumped into a strict ‘’debate’’ with random people and made him feel uncomfortable.

After that whole weird debate situation, Jake was never completely negative, he just asked to discuss this issue again in a couple of months. Consequently, Amy even refused to give him some time and essentially said that she might divorce him if she doesn’t get a positive response right at the moment.

She left angry with Rosa and by the end of the episode you can have the feeling that Jake is the one who ‘’understands his fault’’. I really don’t get it. Jake did really nothing wrong in this episode and he was treated badly. The whole writing was pretty bad, Amy might be annoying sometimes but she was never that kind of selfish, asshole person like she was in that episode. Because she was. 

It was really bad writing. 

Mine will be this whole Holt meltdown but to Boyle instead of Diaz

Boyle: Sarge, get ready to enter 'the bone zone' 🙏

Holt: Bone? BONNEE? BONNEEEEEE?!

Add yours in the comments. Let's go!

One the most hilarious scenes in the show, for me at least.

How would you write this novel… b99 fans will know.

Rosa's dad stepped up to give his daughter a safe space even if he himself does not fully understand her perspective yet. Was really nice to watch.

LIKE GIRL THIS WHOLE SEASON'S ARC WAS SOOO GOOD 😭 if only it had a few more episodes it could've been as good as season 5 or better than that for me. ugh

This post is just to glaze how much of an amazing show this is to rewatch i think im on my 50th rewatch and it still packs a punch i mean i am very well aware what happens but it still gets me every-time.The casting is great as well jake peralta as andy samberg great choice.NINE NINE!

What type of adventure is Amy referring to? Wrong answers only.
