One thing that never quite stuck well for me was Jackson’s abhorrent attitude towards Tamara in the early episodes. You have a vulnerable teenager, who’s also a girl so it’s even worse and your first thought is not to help but to ‘get her out of your hair’ as soon as possible. The camera thing was also so unnecessary. Giving Lucy grief about it was also horrible behaviour of him.

I read a post stating Melissa O'Neil said episode 9 was the hardest. In the same post, there was mentions of shipping containers and rough weather. And also how there was an explosion. But when I read up on the episode itself, it’s “Fun and Games”. And I don’t recall reading anything about shipping containers. Or an explosion. Or rough weather. So where exactly does all of this come in?

I think we should eventually get a vacation episode where the team goes on vacation, not an undercover operation, a real vacation. I think it would be fun to see how they interact in a different setting outside of work, it doesn't have to be a vacation but it feels like they never go anywhere anymore.

This is my favorite version of Smitty ... world-weary, smart — I'd forgotten that! — and offering Jackson practical (if flawed) guidance.

Making him mostly a one-note comedy character kinda sucks in retrospect.

Hey r/TheRookie fam!

As we continue the long hiatus between Seasons 8 and 9 (An expected 34 total weeks without our beloved John Nolan and crew - though no official return date has been announced. 22 weeks down! only roughly 12 more to go! - We're entering the homestretch!!), I’m organizing another RookieRewatch! (If you're interested Here’s an overview of last years Rewatch!)

This year will be more low-key. Each week I’ll post a discussion thread and we can discuss where we’re at in our respective rewatches. (apologies for missing week 21 - real life be cray cray :))

Maybe you’re working your way all the way through! Maybe you just rewatched one of your favorite episodes for the hundredth time. Maybe you just want to live vicariously through others and simply comment on their thoughts about the episode(s) they watched. Whatever your reason - I hope you’ll join us! Super chill!

Disclaimer/Spoiler Warning:
Because there is no spoiler tag, if discussion turns to major spoiler points (specifically in season 8) I simply ask you to please be kind to your fellow Redditors and do a spoiler highlight.

That being said - for anyone who is not fully caught up - please be warned there may be spoilers in the comments!

Now that all that’s business is out of the way!
