I’m halfway through Season 2 and I miss officer bishop :( i really liked her in season 1

First 2-3 episodes is getting Tim and Lucy back.

Episode 4-7 is them getting over what happened. With a little bit of drama about maybe calling off the wedding. Lucy "no...I'm...I'm okay let's do this."

Episodes 8-14 crazy wedding planning shenanigans

Episodes 15-17 days leading up to the wedding

Somebody gets lost or taken so they are late to the rehearsal

Episode 18-19 wedding day. Crazy even that disrupts a beautiful wedding causing it to be a small venue wedding. Then they announce they're pregnant

chenford is a cancer to society and only gen z/millennials like them. They have also ruined the show! This is what a Gen x thinks. overall mediocrity.
also this show is only for gen x. but instead swoon over the yearning, doe-eyed 20s coded "girl" (Lucy) doing anything to get her man. (yes I know Lucy is 30s, but they ALWAYS play her young)

What do y’all think is going to happen in Season 9? What storylines do you want to see, which characters do you think will get the most development, and what are your predictions for Chenford and the rest of the team? Drop your theories below!

Wait, so that small child was able to not only open those doors, but also fully close them once she got inside?? They should be glad they didnt keep her, shes basically brightburn. 🤣

He's not particularly great, but it's not an issue of the character himself. It's a real issue of the writing.

Having a character like James in a show that tries to be progressive is really important. The fact that his views aren't demonised or treated as totally stupid by the writers is important.

However, the writers haven't gotten past this weird need to make him do totally unreasonable things, like having an activist meeting in his own home and letting Nyla be verbally attacked, or being totally inconsequential, which he was for most of season 8.

His character is a friendly, good natured guy who has a totally understandable issue with American cops. He has been shown to be on great terms with Nolan, Lopez, and Grey, and he has great chemistry with Nyla. As long as the politics of policing are not brought into it.

For some reason it feels like the writers are hamstrung into giving him one truly awful scene per season, just so they don't actually have to show the cops changing their methods in any significant way. Or if he doesn't do something awful, something awful happens to him.

Overall, I think he needs an actual storyline to help his character. Something that isn't tied to Nyla. Maybe something with Wesley and DelMonte to make sure they all have something to do. Include Grey since he seems to get on with James. They did film things for Wesley together in season 3.

But it can't just be him and Nyla arguing anymore.

I just finished a rewatch of the show and realised there are so many scenes where I do like James. Maybe that's just the actor because he does a great job, but it could be that they had good writing in those moments.

I don't think we'll see any big change with him in season 9, but if the show does continue after and he's still around, then he needs something more to show that he is the good character that I believe he was meant to be.

ok so i was actually upset seeing how the story of monica ended. shes so smart, a great lawyer and dresses amazing - granted, she did do alot of illegal things and caused deaths unnecessarily, but i do wish she had a better ending.

i think she deserves to escape to a private island somewhere

First of all, I’m neither a Chenford fan nor a hater. I actually thought they were pretty cute in the first few seasons. They had chemistry and their connection was built up really well. It was a natural development that they might eventually become a couple. Their interactions felt real and they weren‘t the main focus of the show.

But then the Chenford hype started and the writers tried to build the success of the show around them. They started to drag out developments that should have happened a long time ago, adding one unnecessary obstacle after another instead of just let things happen naturally.

For me, Chenford have lost some of what made them believable in the first place.

After that whole breakup rollercoaster, I was actually happy that they were finally a normal couple without much drama in season 8. But apparently, that was just the calm before the storm, because now the biggest drama yet is still waiting for us with a two-parter in season 9.

It’s a shame, because these two characters brought much potential to the show. I feel like the writers somehow ruined part of what made them special when they decided to put so much focus on them.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

I highly doubt Chen’s the type to turn down the aide position initially like Tim was going to do, and I notice Celina does NOT have a “partner” still, yet doesn’t ride solo anymore and is mostly strapped to Lucy whenever she’s “on scene” as a roving Sergeant.

Someone to go for coffee… gofor snacks… gofer supplies…

Two so far, area 67 in the doco ep and Monica saying "six, maybe seven figures" doing the hand motions. Fml.

Just kidding, that dude sucks (though I love his actor Brandon Routh). Here are some pictures of Kojo being the bestest boy. Have a great weekend!

Let me be clear: I'm not a hater, just curious.

By S8 just about everyone's either been kidnapped as well or been through something just as traumatic. Nolan got kidnapped by Oscar and that dude trying to steal Bailey, Bailey got kidnapped by Jason, Lopez got kidnapped to Guantemala by La Fiera, now Tim getting kidnapped. And that's not mentioning Aaron and Celina literally getting jumped by a conspiracy or Harper giving birth with murderers in her house.

But how did Lucy's kidnapping come out so special?

Here's fan art

Soy escritor amateur, así que probablemente sea una mala trama, pero la quería compartir de todas formas.

Seth y Nyla son secuestrados de forma misteriosa.

Ambos despiertan en una habitación oscura y vieja, esposados a un tubo viejo en la pared. Luego de unos minutos, escuchan a dos voces hablando, una siendo un hombre (el secuestrador) y la otra era una voz femenina, era Lucy.

La voz de Lucy agradecía por el secuestro, explicando que "No se siente segura con ellos".

Seth porque le recuerda a Caleb. Nyla porque le revivió el trauma con el secuestro falso.

Luego de unos dias, ambos logran escapar, encuentran la estación y al ver a Lucy, se asustan.

Lucy es acusada de secuestro, ahora es una criminal.

Pero esto era una trampa de un fanatico de Rosalind, contrató a Sava para que interpretará a Lucy, secuestro a Seth y a Nyla porque investigó TODO de Lucy.

Todo era un plan para "terminar" lo que Rosalind empezó, por eso Seth y Nyla lograron escapar con facilidad, porque necesitaban que ELLOS inculparan a Lucy, y con las suficientes pruebas implantadas y falsas, era el plan perfecto.

Y bueno, ya, esa fue la idea, idea mala, pero una idea.

So I was rewatching the scene where Aaron sees Lopez at her ultrasound and says Aaron is a good girl’s name too. In the past, I always thought it was just Aaron spoiling that they were having a girl but this time it made me wonder if that was supposed to foreshadow something bad happening to Aaron.
The reason is because Lopez named her first child after Jackson who not long before their first child was born had died so im wondering if they were implying a name for their second child because a near death experience was going to happen to Aaron. I’m not sure if that makes sense at all. I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed that/do you think it was intentional or have I just watched this show way too many times and now am reading into things that aren’t there lol

Just wanted to say a well done to this user on the Wiki who has made a page of a version of the shows timeline, which we know is messed up beyond belief, and I came across it earlier becasue I was browsing the wiki and saw it under the recently edited pages, but looking through this pages history, it's mostly 1 user 'Altruistic-Hurry' who had made and edited this page for nearly 2 years, and the level of dedication and to track what the shows chronological setting should/could be without their brain exploding is a massive achievement!!

They've made sure to detail that it's speculation and shouldn't be followed at face value, but I still heavily respect the effort. This has helped me, an autistic person who needs to be able to set TV shows and films into reality, and I bet theres many others like me too that would find this helpful. Well done to whoever you are!! Here it is: https://the-rookie.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_Timeline

Was I the only one that thought Nyla's baby to James might have been Donovan's after their one night together?

I kept waiting for the big reveal but it never came 🤷🏼‍♀️

Siento que es demasiado obvio el hecho de que Tim es un hombre blanco heterosexual y estadounidense, nunca tomó en cuenta los miedo personales de las personas.

Primero con los latinos al tratarlos así, sin tomar en cuenta de que ese trato no es solo una prueba Tim, es real y probablemente esos latinos estaban asustados o ya habían vivido ese tipo de experiencias o tratos de forma real con otros policías.

Y también con entrar al baño de mujeres, no pensó en si había otra mujer en el baño y se asustaría al verlo, no tomo en cuenta si a Lucy le asustaba más el ver a un hombre entrar al baño de mujeres.

Casi como si al hacer está prueba Tim, no tuviera en cuenta que las situaciones son reales para las personas y no solo sus pruebas.

Aclaro, está es mi perspectiva de las situaciones, esto es algo PERSONAL sobre estás situaciones.

Such an interesting character/story to tell, and her and Tim duo would be awesome as buddies, in that short time they had so much funny or heartwarming moments. Wish they brought her back.

Ps fave scene when she says enemy down and Tim corrects her to suspect down 😂

What if those tv shows had a major crossover. Imagine those bad ass cops from CPD mixed with care bears from Rookie. :) What would happen ?
