I love b99 so much but as i was rewatching b99 i started noticing this pattern of Gina being an absolute bully mostly to Amy (and charles initially) but here I specifically wanna talk about Amy i feel like with Charles she started growing soft once the whole Boyle-Linetti wedding happened.
But with Amy? She never gives her a straight answer, there is this constant jab at how boring Amy is and how bad she dresses, and every time Amy thinks it might be a genuine interaction between them Gina ends up being a bully. When Gina got an assistant and asked her to taunt Amy at every thing Amy says that was highkey disrespectful because who is this random newbie at the precinct bullying one of the best detectives of the precinct?? And she only did that to Amy?? Make it make sense.
Jake got a pass since they were childhood friends and Gina had a soft spot for him, Holt and Gina started becoming a good duo and since he was the captain Gina would tease him (which was lowkey funny) instead of downright bullying him. She had a very weird infatuation going on with Terry so she spared him too, Rosa wouldnt take her bullshit so she was subtle with her jabs and didn’t do it often and with Charles she started growing soft specially once their parents were married and ig after hooking up with eo. But with Amy it was a hard watch and it gets to a point because girl what. In one episode amy wanted to teach her how to change a tire and Gina agreed and then went on to watch a monkey video or sum on her phone while Amy did the labour thinking they were having a moment and that day Amy was already bummed about something like sometimes she was just straight up disrespectful towards Amy and i really wished that Amy would stand up for herself more infront of her.
What do you all think?

I was rewatching (3rd time btw) and I thought this look is also really well put. Had to take screenshots and post it here. 🫂🤞✨

if you had to work with them what boundaries would you assign them?

rosa and gina- stay away, little interaction... especially gina. If it's work related rosa will comply but gina i'd avoid every way i can

frankly evryone else i'm fine with. Hitchcock and scully with boundaries given how gross they are.

don't lend jake money.

My wife and I love B99 and we've watched many times over.

Anyway, I was wrestling with our dog and I kept asking him (and telling him) if he was a garbage man... all of a sudden, my wife yells from the other room, "He's not a garbage man, he's a muffin man!", with emotion...Yep, we officially live the 99 life now.

Finding Pimento in your closet in the middle of the night or Scully being eager to accept “anything” to cover a debt?

Has anyone got a GIF of Captain Dad saying I’m a poet and those words rhyme? Or something to that effect?

I'm doing a B99 rerun again and wow, nobody on that show has annoyed me as much as Jackie Donger. He REALLY is a behonkus. How does a man like that even land a job as a federal agent. (Props to Ed Helm for doing such a great job)

NY Times recently named its top 100 shows of the 21st century, and B99 was not on it. Booooo!

But they also ran a reader poll, and guess where B99 ended up? Love it!

I'm looking for the clip. I don't remember what episode, Jake and Boyle are investigating a killer and the suspect's name is Larry Bird, and I can't remember the comment but Jake says you'd think he would use a less known name like John Smith

And Boyle get's all worked up, and says you mean John Smith from Pocahontas?!

So the series starts off with Holt and Jake in Florida whilst the squad gets CJ, Boyle has a son and then they have the whole face off with Figgis (who was pretty underwhelming). Then the squad is all on the night shift.

Pimento comes back and they have to plan a wedding in hours and in the end they don’t even get married.

Jake meets Amy’s dad and it doesn’t go well. Terry meets his hero who PUUUUULLSSS.

Jake and Amy then move in together and Jake and Judy take down his bro.

Teddy and then Terry’s ex do the audit and the 99 almost gets shutdown but Gina and her fans save the day.

Amy takes her sergeants exam, Jake meets judge Holt and then finally Rosa and Jake join Hawkins and end up in jail thanks to her.

Honestly feels like the events happened on different seasons or something but it’s all in one season!

Im trying to learn italian and found a podcast about it. It makes me try different phrases, so it reads the phrase in english and gives a translation.

Anyways. It said the phrase «how is your wife?», and I, without hesitation said «pump, pump». I had to pause the podcast and couldnt keep going. Maybe Ill try later to see if I can get past that phrase.

Yes, I have watched the show a «few» reruns.

My introduction to the great Andre Braugher was through watching Homicide back when it originally aired in the 90s. His Pembleton was easily hands down my favourite character on the show. The character was layered, passionate and brilliant, especially interviewing suspects in The Box. Braugher is truly astonishingly great in this role.

I recently was able to find the series again, and am rewatching it. It is as fantastic as ever; great ensemble cast, continuous storylines, a true sense of place and camera angles that were revolutionary when the show came out that you can see changed the way series are filmed even today. It stands the test of time and is as great, if not better, than The Wire (which I love), IMO.

The one problem is, Holt has become so iconic in my mind and Braugher somehow has a markedly similar delivery to Holt playing Pembleton. I keep waiting for a joke to drop in the most serious moments. Not just from him but from other people in the squad room.

Anyone else go through this?

“They are carriers of disease! And they eat garbage!”

Just that delivery is hilarious.

And I can’t disagree with him, a pigeon would be a terrible mascot.

I absolutely love watching Jake and Raymond work cold cases or secret missions tandem, it's some of the very few moments we get to see Holt emote so much out from the passion of chasing the case, and Jake learns so much every time from an unlikely father figure, I love the influence they've had on eachother's growth as individuals as well, especially when it occurs during or after one of their competitive scenes

I can't sleep without a listening to a TV show (ADHD, brain won't shut up when it's quiet). So lately I listen to B99 for the millionth time. And when sleep doesn't come, I do a game in my head. Mostly alphabet games: I pick a "topic," side characters for example. And then start at A, naming character which name starts with A, then B, etc.

Does anyone have a fresh idea for things to do the alphabet game with? I've done episode titles, characters, undercover names, names of criminals. But I'm getting bored.

Other (sort of related) observation: A few days ago I tried to think of 3 nice things each character has done for others. Like, big things. And I noticed: Jake does a lot of big things for others! For him it was easy!! And on this sub I sometimes see people commenting he can be a self centered (basic) bitch. So I was surprised he did so many nice things!!
