Comedy, Emotion & Drama at breakneck speed
hhhrahulhhh27 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Another episode where Captain Holt's squad goes through cases and punchlines faster than Terry with a cup of yogurt. This episode was more emotional than regular with the "Nine Nine" precinct's future hanging in the balance. All through the episode there was a sense of how are they going to do it, and Jake & Charles were of course in the lead with uncovering a pretty solid case. All through it we witness the lovable and endearing aspects of their relationship which culminated in a very funny but heartwarming stakeout.

In the meantime the brilliant socialite influencer Gina Linetti is once again weaving a web of pranks throughout the episode. The show keeps using it's character's outrageous quirks to great effect and whenever Gina is involved it gives a very meta mystical character to the whole scene. And again it's her unnecessary pranking here which sets up the whole episode.

It's fun to watch how each character responds to the presumed ending of their fellowship. While Jake and Charles completely act out, Rosa and Terry are actively grieving. Captain Holt takes the sombre, passive route and Amy becomes a maniacal teacher's pet. And Gina enjoys the show like an audience out to amuse itself.

The pace, jokes and everything else was fast not giving you time to recover from the last laugh before the next one hits you. So for meeting the high expectations this show has already set for entertaining, I give a nine to the 'Nine Nine'.

Predictable plot, but lots of laughs

This episode sets its plot up in such a way that you essentially know how it is most likely to end, but it's one of those "it's about the journey, not the destination" type situations.

This episode involves character development and wrapping up (a) plot point(s) without otherwise advancing too much. Take that as you will, but this is also a sitcom, and the jokes were *on point* in this episode. Every character was nailing it, and I found myself laughing more than I remember doing so in the past few episodes.

Hitchcock knocked it out of the park this episode. Essentially every scene with him was golden. Peralta and Boyle had their usual chemistry, and there was great use of that precedent to make some especially funny moments.

The real crown goes to a personal underdog, an actor who didn't impress me until season 3, who reached some sort of psychopathic pinnacle of humor by being both the best and worst person this episode (once you see/if you've seen it, that statement will resonate on a deeper, more meaningful level). The timing, the antics, the... the everything. Every single scene. I said Hitchcock was golden? This actor is... I dunno, platinum?

Lots of laughs, fun episode, left with a good feeling.

I don't know. Watching this episode doesn't give a lot of emotions for me. Plot is boring, nothing really interesting happens, ending was predictable. Just meh.
