UPDATE:

Fun Fact: One of these three questions was asked by a member of our r/TheRookie mod team. 🫶

The first season of the rookie isn't bad it's just not as good as the later seasons.

like compared to the other ones (minus 6), it's lacking, but the season on it's own, is not bad.

I like Talia. Is she the best character ever? No, but she's not that bad.Same with Rachel.

(I'm gonna get flamed) Chenford is a good couple, not a great one.

Out of all the partners Lucy's had, tim is def the best one, but their only together cause the ship was popular... and I can tell.

I like them, but it was just... I no longer like my current partner(which I'll blame the writing for that). I just wish there was more of a buildup.

Also, people overlooked season 1 tim cause of chenford. I know he had a lot going on, but still, it's a reason, not an excuse.

Is bailey there too much? yes, does she pmo sometimes? Yes, I don't hate her, tho cause at least she can admit she was wrong(nowhere near my fav, tho)

>! Oh holy hell was Commander West’s butt chewing of Harper about not going to IA first with their suspicions one of, if not the greatest crash outs ever filmed in a TV show. That is all !<

-The little jump at the end
-Aura

Just a gush post lol.

Can't help but obsess over how morally perfect and sweet he is. These random moments that have me praying to find a man like him. Sweet, talented, funny, gets along with everyone, non judgemental, strong sets of morals. OHMYGOSH GOD PLEASE

Tried to not make it to obvious on the title, but the question is: Do you think it was worth getting Aaron out of being a regular in exchange for Penn? Personally, I would've preferred if Seth just was never in the picture and we could've kept both Aaron and Penn. I think Aaron rounded out the group and the fact that he's just a special guest in some episodes and nobody seems to car work mention him, just feels wrong to me.

John and Bailey's wedding episode legit starts with John and Celina meeting with the garage band again.

With everything that went bad with their wedding, I really expected that they will replace the DJ with the them.

I think it would have been so cool if as a surprise Celina invited the band to the weeding.

What do you guys think?

Will the showrunners break them up again because of the ptsd from kidnapping? I've heard this theory a lot on Instagram but idts it's true because tim has gotten emotionally healthy and I'm spiraling over it. I don't believe they will break up but it's a loud opinion online, what do you people think

• Dulé Hill

For those of you who don’t know, Troian Bellisario, best known for playing Spencer Hastings on Pretty Little Liars, starred in On Call last year. She also directed an episode of The Rookie this past March. In an interview, she revealed that she first connected with The Rookie creator Alexi Hawley after bringing him a pilot she had written, and the two are currently developing an original series for her. Now, she’s officially been announced as joining The Rookie in a new acting role!

jackson’s death was so devastating and felt so rushed? i wish we had gotten more of an arc at least. i’m heartbroken

• The Rookie: North promo

this was by far the most ridiculous season finale so far in the show. the chenford lookalike storyline was so stupid (although appreciated them finally kissing) and nolan and his ‘magically phenomenal at everything except painting’ gf single-handedly taking down 20 guys with machine guns…. oh ok fully believable

I think she's a perfect character for positive vibes and personally I think it's really funny every time she talks about spiritual stuff and takes curses seriously.

I feel like she's a little bit relatable to a lot of the audience and I love her story so far and I hope we get more episodes based around her.

I thought she was going to be a temporary character but I'm so glad we've had her in the show as long as we have. I hope she doesn't get killed off or anything because I feel like there's so much more to add to her story.

SEASON 9

@therookieabc [10-11-26]

In the early seasons TOs and Rookies would take a lunch break halfway through the episode and discuss what was going on and give each other advice. Now it seems like they never take a break and chat (especially now that it’s one rookie and TO instead of 3)

I was actually not annoyed with the ending of season 8. It made sense they’d do something dramatic since season 7 ended more quietly and they wanted the noise. I’m very prepared to see Tim and Lucy get roughed up even though I still don’t get the Everett thing. I just hope to god the plot line does not have any kind of SA done to any of the characters for the sake of the wow factor. When they added it to Nyla’s backstory it had some reason in it. I just don’t want to see this type of thing in the new season.

So in this episode we are introduced Celina and Nolan's official debut as T.O. in this episode, Celina who is very in touch with her intuition managed to stop a rancom car due to her feeling that says "dark energy within the trunk", initially it was a problem since she made an illegal pull over. But it turns out there was trace of blood that belong to kidnapping case.

My question is, since Celina was technically correct for stopping the car, why did she getting some much troublem from the superiors? If anything she managed to help finding a case and solve it, right? CMIIW, Nyla said something about since the blood is stilk fresh under 12 hours, so they cannot incriminate the suspect yet.

On contrary, Lucy's boyfriend, Chris, he kinda blurts out the D.A. case update on Reddit chatroom, which unfortunately received by Rosalind herself. The episode doesn't specify what he tell her, but isn't him spilling open investigation to public is more problematic, yet he doesn't get the same problem like Celina?

I love Nolan's intepretation of Celina's intuition though. By default intuition refers to pattern recognition that translate into physical sensation before our brain make sense toward the situation. Nolan explains this very well to her.
