    Yes, I understand what you mean, but the show is called The Rookie and not The Rookie and His 10,102 Fellow Officers. They will continue to concoct "interesting" situations to place him in, even though they are increasingly unlikely. Same with every other show. Presumably all the other cops have interesting experiences too, but this show concentrates only on those of this particular rookie, because in real life, he's really Nathan Fillion!

    The Mostest Dangerousest Serial Killer The World Has Ever Seen (because Red Hair).  Let's gather together a bunch of - by definition - partially trained and minimally experienced rookie cops and let them handle it!

    I realize it is called The Rookie and the premise is that he's the focus, but it's still absurd.  The Resident, is an example of a show with a similar title but has managed to keep the focus as more of an ensemble -- not that that show doesn't have its own problems.  It's possible that my problem is I'm watching a bunch of shitty TV shows and expecting too much of them and I need to rethink my viewing habits.  Hell, I'll even upgrade it to probable.

    Well that was a craptastic ending. I should have realized they’d do some kind of cliffhanger before winter hiatus, but I didn’t really see it coming. It doesn’t seem that likely that this serial killer woman would have some kind of outside contact and be able to direct him to show up at a bar where a young female rookie cop would just so happen to be, single, and vulnerable to his wiles.

    I assume he's been stalking various cops that are in the proximity of the Detective from Lost, trying to pick the easiest victim.  So he wasn't just at the bar, he was there because they were.  One thing I know from TV is that a lot of serial killers are super good at stalking.  As to why the cops didn't notice him stalking, they never seem super bright on this show, and the writing needed them to not notice.

  3. As soon as they said the name of the accomplice and went to his house I said "That's not his real name.  It's someone they killed and took the identity of and the real accomplice is the guy from the bar."  This happens every week and on the occasion that I'm at my mom's house watching with her she accuses me of having already seen the episode.  And it's not that I'm brilliant, it's that I've seen all the same shows the writers have, with a side of this show being predictable as hell thrown in.  I'm also starting to get outraged every week that Nolan is in the center of it all every time something goes down.  LAPD has 10,103 sworn officers, but they rely on their 45 year old rookie for everything.  And said rookie is always at the elbow of the Watch Commander.  I'm assuming the "Mid-Wilshire" station is supposed to be the Wilshire Community station based on name, but IDK since they've been shown in Hollywood and Downtown and who knows where else, but Hollywood and Downtown aren't even the same bureaus so a single Basic Car wouldn't cover both (LAPD has a neighborhood based approach called the Basic Car Plan so the same officers are always in the same neighborhood and get to know the residents and the community and the problems that face that community).  Anyway, most of the crime at Wilshire is burglary/theft from motor vehicles and home break-ins.  There have been ~10 shootings with victims in the division this year -- none resulting in shoot-outs.  So I get kind of annoyed with all the gun fights Nolan gets into too.  I realize they need action to make the show interesting, but man does it make me miss Southland.  I also think they could draw entertainment from the real types of calls that go on -- there's constantly crazy nonsense involving machetes, axes, and scooters.  I watch this show to turn off my brain and have fun, but it's getting to where it's too dumb for me to do that since it is making me mad.  I'm not a cop, but I do occasionally go to the community advisement board meetings for Mid-Wilshire and keep on top of the types of crimes going on in the area as a concerned citizen and took the 5 minutes needed to better understand LAPD's method of policing, unlike the writers.  I don't hate the show, but I think I like it less than it agitates me, so the balance is not in its favor.

    I was happy to see Annie Wersching.  This show does seem to pull decent guests stars.  A large portion have also been on Castle though, so that might explain that.

    Anyway, I'm not sure I'm going to remember to tune back in in Feb.  

  4. The first two episodes I was annoyed with how much time was spent on the asshole son, but I'm all in on watching him be lonely and not fit in with anyone at college.  And honestly, I'd rather spend time on that than on watching her rub another one out on the kitchen floor.

    Seriously! He can’t see that their are exceptions to ANY rules, no matter how logical it may be. He won’t report someone who puts other people’s lives in danger because of HIPAA regulations and basically fancies himself the patron saint of western medicine. Okay, Devon.

    As far as Mina’s godmothership is concerned, no one should feel pressured into parenthood. Why would you even want that for your child?? Her friend is selfish as hell.

    Not only that, but according to my extensive research (a single google search and then looking at a chart in, but not reading, the only article I clicked on) it is permissible to disclose information that would otherwise be protected by HIPAA in cases where public safety is in danger are you are reporting to the appropriate authorities.  Devon's argument wasn't even really that it was wrong, it was that people wouldn't feel safe seeking medical treatment if they feared repercussions from reporting -- because lord knows educated middle aged white guys in the middle class are constantly living in fear of the authorities.  I was already starting to dislike Devon when they made his fiancee who was previously cool a spoiled flake to justify his straying, but it seems like the writers have gone out of their way to make him insufferable.  I guess Conrad has to have an enemy and it isn't Bell anymore since they've completely altered his character too, so this is where we're at.

  7. I am so sick of Devon's sanctimonious ass.

    I am tired of Morris Chestnut being an ass (I can't think of the character's name).  

    Mina's friend was a selfish asshole trying to guilt Mina into taking responsibility that she didn't want to take on.  Did this friend get pregnant knowing she was possibly dying because the cancer treatment might destroy her fertility so this was her only chance, or was that some other shitty show I watch?  I think I watch too many shitty medical dramas because they are getting confused in my head.

    Next week's episode is up on Hulu.  Not sure if that's a mistake or not.

    I hate Bloom. She uses Dr. Hottie as a booty call then rips him a new one when she thinks he is doing the same. 
    No, the hospital has no standing to sue the city. The residents of the affected area do.

    Poor Dr. Kapoor. 

    To be fair, chronic pain can make you an asshole.  I didn't realize how cranky my pain was making me until it was gone.  So having been in that boat, I just wrote Bloom's behavior off as the pain talking.  But then again, it's Bloom, so 🤷‍♀️

    And WHY is Iggy going to adopt another child?  It is admirable but he already has a bunch, and I don’t think he should do that without making sure his husband is on board with the idea.

     

    Especially since his husband seems to be at home with the kids more than Iggy.  I really cannot stand Iggy.  I realize he's supposed to be this nice caring guy, but he just annoys the fuck out of me.  So needless to say, I was not moved at the end when he was online shopping for a little refugee baby of his own.

    Even though the kid looked pretty old, he was probably too stupid to say where he found the gun at and if he saw the man toss it away.

    If anyone knows, what is the significance of the long vs. short sleeves?  IMHO, I think it is ridiculous to have to be rewarded to wear short sleeves.

    Besides the tradition part, they are in LA.  I own like 3 long sleeved shirts total.  It's going to be in the 80s this week.  Wearing that long sleeved uniform shirt would be hot.

    Even though the older cop was encouraging West to lie, could he really and get away with it?  Wouldn't his body cam footage show he wasn't even close enough to the guy to see him toss his gun when the guy was in the vicinity of where the kid picked the gun up?

    Men typically don't care what's on the INSIDE. It's what's on the outside....nice rack, nice a$$, pleasant face, nice legs. 

    I think Hannah is pretty damn hot even without any make up. Never got the crazy appeal with Malia or Emily (the British girl who looks like Bugs Bunny)

    Everyone's taste is different but that's just MOO.

    I didn't think Emily was more than cute on the show, but she has dark hair now and I think it really suits her.

    My first thought at the beginning of that last scene was "why is this woman always in bed?" and then it hit me that she was in his imagination.

    I irrationally dislike her so much, that I was thinking "the baby wasn't even home all day and she can't even get up when it cries?  It's his turn even though he's been at work?  What has she been doing all day?" and then I realized she was dead.

    I like Helen very much and it looks as if she and Bloom are finding or will find a way to restore their relationship.

    Agree. If Bloom had been the one to die, I would've been OK with that, though. 

    Very glad that Georgia is no longer on the show, although in a way, she's even MORE "present" than ever, as I suspect Max's trauma over losing her will become another character in and of itself, and I am not looking forward to that. 

    Kind of like on Ray Donovan when Abby finally died and she was on the screen 10x as much for flash backs and hallucinations as Ray and the family dealt with it.  It was a great lesson in be careful what you wish for.

    Was Gina prevented by production from leaving or was she just being a drama queen?

    She doesn't have a driver license and can't afford an Uber.  

    Kelly was right that Gina isn't accomplished, she was just wrong about herself being accomplished.  What has Gina done besides temporarily hitching her wagon to a guy that had a high paying job and popping out a few screaming crotch goblins and being a potato faced whiner and catty back stabber?

    Content warning: sexual assault & defense of Leanne

    Ok, Leanne-like, I'm going to overshare. She & I share a lot of the same history (minus the carnie stuff). I was in a group of women once when one, with whom I had history (we were friendly but she was often passive aggressive) would not stop questioning me about why talking about 9/11 was so upsetting for me (this was years ago).  She was relentless, wouldn't move on. (Here comes the overshare, my apologies.) And finally I was so empty of any other words/feelings/reactions that all I could do was look at her & say, pretty angrily, "because my father raped me every chance he got when I was a kid so I know the looks that were on the highjackers' faces. I know what it looks like when someone is up close to you & wants to destroy you."

    That kinda took the air out of the room & I apologized the next time I saw her & I certainly wouldn't have gone on as Leanne did ("probably do it tonight if I got the chance" -- well, okay, Leanne, there's a glass, have at it, showboat). But for the first part of her speech, I totally got where she was coming from.

    Let's keep this secret between us, ok? It's something I'm pretty ashamed of. Not the rapes. That's his shame. I'm so horribly ashamed I just stuck up for Leanne. 

    I'm sorry you went through this.  I doesn't sound like you use it as a constant excuse for bad behavior or weaponize it though.  LeeAnn does.  It isn't just one incident with her, it is nonstop.

    Leeanne uses her childhood trauma has a crutch and a weapon and that pisses me off ..... To use what has happened in her past to justify her nasty behavior today is in no way acceptable.... She has gotten away with it for so long she no longer sees it has a problem and that really needs to stop....  Yes bad shit happened but it doesn't allow you to be a dick to people just cause....  And if I was that designer of that dress and got the whole guilt trip of well everyone is falling all over themselves to gift her things I would have politely pointed out that they could use one of those people to make the dress and left the room ....

    So I totally get where Brandi is coming from in this article and the post she made after all the backlash about her child.... her child yes is unruly and all but she is still A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD and any adult that attacks a 10yo by calling her names really needs to take a step back and ask would that be ok if someone said that about my child? Would we like someone calling our child names? No we would explode on them and remind them as an ADULT you don't do that to children .....sling all the insults  you want at an adult because at the end of the day they are emotionally mature enough to understand it (yes it still hurts but they know how to process it a child doesn't.) Would we walk up to a child lets say at the mall and start calling them brats/other horrible things that shes been called online and telling her what we would do to her and say we would physically attack their child while screaming about what shits they are? NO! We would look deranged doing that and would be arrested and their parent would prob end up beating us down for even thinking that was ok to do and to be honest if someone did that to our child in public we would do the same... the child is not choosing to be on the show her parents are so the well shes on tv and is inviting that on herself excuse doesn't hold water....using that excuse wouldn't that make it ok to attack a child in person say again at the mall for acting bratty I mean they are out in public where everyone is they are opening themselves up for it (see how bad that sounds?) ..again there is a reason children cant make decisions for themselves at that age because they arnt emotionally mature enough... so why do it online? lets give the child More issues then it already has because why? so we can feel good about ourselves that we attacked a 10yo and owned her by calling her names? None of us were perfect acting has children 24/7 and acted bratty about things at times its part of being a child and growing up and pushing boundaries and is not showing the 24/7 life of the child only snippets edited to make a show ....The internet for all its wonderful things really has allowed adults to act in ways that we would never act on in person.... being ADULTS we know that isn't right and do better ...so take issue with the parent not the child on that   ....This is just a general post and in NO  WAY  is attacking or calling out  anyone in this group I am just stating my opinion on this

    If Brandi doesn't want people calling her kid names, maybe she shouldn't have broken the seal by calling her a little bitch and was it an asshole(?) on TV.  I do not feel bad at all saying that Brandi's kids are the absolute fucking worst and that Brandi needs to work on her parenting.  I'm just saying it here though.  I am not seeking Brandi out and sending her messages about it.

    I rewatched it this morning. Kary was really out of line with that question. She said, "So, LeeAnn, you never wanted kids?" She made quite an assumption with her question. Maybe LeeAnn DID want kids at some point? And couldn't have them? Or couldn't find the right partner? Kary has no way of knowing. That could be an incredibly painful topic.

    So LeeAnn first gave just a very simple explanation - "I had a rough childhood." That's it. She didn't go deep right away. But Kary had to try and argue with her again. "Well, I had a rough childhood too. My mom's an alcoholic and my parents were divorced. But you just can't let that stuff control your life." Something to that affect. It came off very preachy. Kary doesn't seem willing to consider that other people have different experiences, different reactions, different opinions, etc. She was just all, "Well, if *I* can rise above my problems, so can you."

    I thought THAT was rude as well. On top of the initial rude question. So that's when LeeAnn really goes all on in on her childhood. She took it too far. There were other people at the table. But, in a way, I understand how defensive she got.

    I was wondering if it could be a cultural thing with Kary.  She's not from the US and we are much more sensitive and PC about things than most of the world.  Also her wording might not have been the best because she's not a native speaker.

    Maybe not this season or BDM but Ashton had to come out in a diaper.

    I doubt something like that happens on yacht charters outside of reality TV.

    I suppose some sleazy rich guy could aggressively come on to young female crew, sexually harass them, offer them a lot of money or threaten to get them fired.

    So these situations requiring cast to do something goofy are made for TV, kind of ridiculous but not as disgusting as it could be since it has to be sanitized for TV too.

    I think there's always an instance of it happening on BD and BDM.  I can only think of BD instances off the top of my head though, so maybe they don't do it on Med?  There's been Ashton as mentioned, Josiah had to wear that gold shit, didn't Bruno have to be the almost nude sushi serving platter once?  The most demeaning thing I can think of for Med right now are when there was that country themed party with the hay and the girls wore daisy dukes and tied up shirts.  I'm so confused because my belief that it happens every season on BD and BDM is strong.

    My guess is that it's strictly a TV thing, just to have the cast dress up in costumes, sometimes inappropriately.

    Of course for what they pay for charters, a crew might be wiling to do anything for tips.

    But is the crew out to run the yacht or to entertain?

    This got me thinking, has anyone had to dress up in a demeaning, inappropriate, or otherwise embarrassing costume this season?

    Hannah has never loved to do tablescapes or centerpieces. The tablescapes were certainly more enthusiastic when Bugsy and Brooke did them, but they were always really tacky. I've never understood why they can't just do flowers. Is it because it's October in the Mediterranean? The Mothership tends to use flowers in addition to the dollar store crap. I'm sure it's easier to find flowers in the spring in tropical locations.

    I'm pretty sure you can easily get flowers in the Med, even in October.  It might be hard to get specific flowers, but does anyone think that Hannah really cares if they are Sweet Akito Roses vs Titanic Light Pink Roses?

    I hope Stephanie is seeing a real therapist and not just the life coach.  As far as life coaches who appear on Bravo shows, this life coach wasn't bad but I would think Stephanie needs more than a life coach to deal with her depression and anxiety (and I would guess that she does have additional help from a doctor). 

    There's at least one person with a medical license involved as she mentioned medication and a life coach cannot prescribe antidepressants.  

    Leeanne was aggressive all day and capped it off by wielding her history and threat of suicide as a weapon.  If I recall correctly, this is not new behavior for her and there are police reports from her using suicide threats this way in the past.  

    That dinner looked fabulous.  It was all things I love.  Mole pablano and it looked like they had calabacitas as a side and a salad with beets.  It's like she took a list of my favorites.  Of course Leeanne was a pill during it and said she wouldn't be eating the salad because she didn't want to puke.
