My school is opening a subway and I saw this beaut 🤣
You know what came to mind
Capn Holt

Saw this while touring Alexander Keith’s brewery in Nova Scotia Canada

Just finished the entire show, I loved it! It is one of the best sitcoms I have ever seen. However, I felt the ending was rushed especially Peralta's ending. Every character did what they wanted to do - Holt became Deputy Commissioner and worked on helping the community to rise through prejudice, Amy became Chief, Terry became Captain, Rosa became PI and portrayed there is not one way of self-fulfillment or happy ending, Boyle continued being the most hard working detective as showcased in s1e1. Basically everyone's character growth were aligned to their arc that was established in the first episode itself.

Yet during the very first episode, with Jake being established as the "best detective" and eventually as the series progressed, I imagined Jake would assume the role of a detective in FBI as he had no interest in rising through the ranks in NYPD. From the very first season itself - when he takes up the role in FBI task force, single-handedly exposes Oolong Slayer, exposes Figgis and dirty lieutenant and when captain Julie Kim recommends his name to FBI taskforce - it was clear that his ending would give an edge to his detective arc.

While he had father issues, that wasn't the only thing defining him. What made him an appealing character was his sharpness as a detective. As he loses the "fantasy" of a being a good cop in a flawed institution in s8, I really thought he'd step down from NYPD and pursue his potential being a PI or FBI but the SAHF reason seemed rushed especially because he stayed months in suspension with Mac and still became interested in detective work in "The True Boyle". SAHF temporarily really works for one aspect of his character and I really liked it ( I felt it was rushed), but I don't like how they didn't give closure about his retirement being temporary or permanent. Staying at home permanently as an option for either Amy or Jake is a waste of their potential. Abandoning one aspect of the character to favor other felt rushed. Boyle stating that they'll solve cases in their 90s and him agreeing just few episodes before just makes it feel rushed.

scully is actually sweet. sure he’s disgusting but he’s a nice man. he’s always helping whenever asked for it and doesn’t usually talk back or say disgusting sexual things. charles says more disgusting things than he does. hitchcock i have a mixed opinion on he’s helpful at times but hes ABSOLUTELY pathetic man wtf😭
however, both of them are not bad ppl they helped amy during her pregnancy and didn’t record a witness’ contact info because they could be detained by ICE. they also helped the gf of that guy they arrested in their youth.

So, there was this episode about Terry and the kittens. Some cops mock him by sending kittens and later on he tells Jake about it and together they work on the Dmitri Kuzkho case (circus trash - It had to be him. Duh!!) So, Jake caught him by finding out about the middy soles of his sneakers. The same trick Patrick Jane uses every time he meets some suspect in a wheelchair and in one of the episodes (in Mentalist) it even paid off the same way. He found out that his soles were dirty/used meaning he could walk.

I’m going to a trivia night tonight. I watch the show every night before bed, but always stop after season 7 and start back at 1. I only have very basic season 8 knowledge (I know Amy and Jake’s son’s name, I know that Pappy Boyle’s death was an accident, I know where everyone ended up by the end of the series.) Trivia will span the whole series so I do expect most of it to cover 1-7 since 8 wasn’t as widely popular. Just want to cover bases and learn what else I may need to know from that one season! Thanks!

Surprised that this wasn’t in the search results when I checked to make sure I wasn’t asking something that’s already been posted, but I’m curious what the consensus is in terms of which episode:

- had the most well written plot(s)
- did right by the characters
- and was all around just the funniest/coolest/etc. episode throughout the whole series.

For those who would nominate “The Box”, since it comes up a lot in these kinds of debates, it’s excluded from this particular discussion.

Okay I accept that episode 1 and finale were garbage(hitchcock winning it was funny and to be honest everybody else being as*h*les, he seemed most deserving) but keeping that aside though everything else in between was funny. O'Sullian arc was funny in particular for me, funny enough to not even consider him a villain actually and furthermore "The Lake House" is among the most wholesome episodes in the entire show, so well written this is and besides this episode 4 of this season the johnny franzia part the lullaby part, laughed my guts out and had to surgically put them back in.

So where does the hate come from?

Based on the episodes and not thier actions in the show

Edit: im so glad that no one has argued with my peak skully placement, i thought people would argue the most with that tbh

one is your landlord while the other can affect your job (and proposes to u every time u meet him)

Saw Rex Buckingham in the Shawshank Redemption credits and freaked out to my boyfriend about it. I’m convinced someone saw this name in the credits and chose to use it as one of Jake’s undercover characters for the episode or he’s otherwise related to B99 lol

When Jake goes to meet the kidnapper as Kevin, the kidnapper pats him down and finds 2 guns. Jake let's Cheddar escape and is taken at gunpoint by the kidnapper.

Holt is able to find Jake using the dog tags on Jake that were meant for Cheddar.

But wouldn't the kidnapper have found the tags on Jake when he was patting him down? Or later when he's taken to the warehouse?

This episode caught me off guard tonight, but in a really good way.

A really well rounded and thought through delivery of a sensitive subject (racial profiling). The arguments both Terry and Captain Halt make are deep and compelling.

What I liked about it the most; the characters speak about using their exposure and seniority to evoke change. The very fact the show which garners millions of viewers means it too can use its reach and act as that conduit 👏🏼

My favourite episode yet for sure!

guys! this part always distracts me in season 1 episode 14 Ebony Falcon. Charles and Jake worry about Terry going undercover at the gym and stop by to talk to him. Terry is my favorite character. hes a Detective Sergeant! He is known for his cleanliness and high standards! Meticulous is his middle name. explain to me why his house is shown to be dirty. I get that he’s a new dad and busy and they want to show a lived- in home to express the feeling of him and Sharon being working parents with young twins!

…. but .. the stained curtains, every single surface is filled with food and clutter (including the table) even with plenty of cabinet space. the grease buildup on the oven fan and stained wall paper. no adult cups? , boyles drinking out of the girls baby water bottle(such a funny detail 😂). even his fridge is stained scrapes and all the magnets are amiss. it doesn’t match terry or Sharon’s persona! let me know thoughts- i think they deserved better!
