German Fanbase?

Does The Rookie have a big following around Germany? The German wiki has almost double the pages of the English one.

Do you think Elijah Stone will come back?

Or do the writers know we’re all tired of him popping up like a whack-a-mole and decided to leave him in jail indefinitely?

I hate Tim, what’s ur opinions?

I can’t say much more. I hate him. He is such an unlikeable guy. Rude, racist and just an ass. I have to pause everytime I watch the show and he comes on screen bc he genuinely gets me tweaking lol

song that might've played in a ep

okay so I swear that the song ' Gloria' by Tierra Whack has played in one of the rookie episodes but I literally cannot remember if it actually did or if im just making it up in my mind. Please help me find which episode if it did!

Who is the best fighter/best at hand-to-hand combat?

The first person to come to mind is Tim, with all his training in the military and how strong he is, but I feel like watching someone like Lucy fight feels more technical and impressive. I'm sure there's some people I'm missing.

New here!

I've just started season 2 and so far:

  • Chen is my queen, Lopez my princess- I LOVE them.
  • Nolan is a sweetheart and everything you'd expect from Nathan.
  • West is a waste of everyone's time, including mine.
  • I'm sad Bishop vanished. Nyla has just arrived and I'm not sure how I feel about her yet, but I fall in love easily.

I love the dynamics between the characters, especially the friendships between men and women and the distinct lack of personal drama. I find the lack of romantic storylines refreshing, despite being a sucker for love stories (but would find something blossoming between Tim and Lucy more than acceptable).

Happy to be here!

So is anyone else mad about the unknown sniper??

I'm rewatching the rookie for like the 6th time now and I'm just now realizing that Rosalind was killed by an "unknown sniper". I feel like since she was in 6 episodes, spread across 3 seasons, we should've at least had the gratification of having a name or face to her killer. Maybe I'm dumb idk

Mind the age gap.

If you’re new to the show and you’re keeping track of everyone’s age, please don’t. It’s extremely inconsistent and confusing so maybe we can just ignore it 🙏.

Edit: I don’t mean age gaps in relationships specifically I mean the inconsistency in the characters’ ages.

Age gap???

Okay so Ibe just started watching and this is pestering me but I looked it up because Nolans the oldest rookie and everything and the age gap between him and lucy is 16 years?! Just wow. I looked it up and the character lucy was supposed to be 29 and Nolan is suppose to be 45. I looked it up on google just to state my sources. But just wow

What is happening to The Rookie?

Currently pretty late into season 4. The first 2 seasons were great, season 3 was a bit hit and miss with the in your face political agenda, but did have a couple of things going for it. Easily the worst season though.

Season 4 started off great. Like any show, it had it flaws, but very enjoyable.

Last night we watched the episodes "Simone" and "Enervo" . Which there's no other way to put it... They were bad. Simone was so bloody annoying that I was hoping the Russian guy would just shoot her. Bailey is everywhere - they're taking the piss at this point. She's the only Fire fighter and EMT in the whole city, when they said she was doing her reserves week, I didn't think she'd be in the episode. Behold, there she is in her fatigues. lol. I'm starting to think she's going to be next rookie in season 5 and will be first person to become lead detective, sergeant, and captain all during her first week on the job. She is basically perfect, except for not being able to paint. Her and Johns relationship has no chemistry.

I know Chenford happens, and the first 2-3 seasons did a great job building their relationship, they had chemistry and it didn't feel forced. Now it's just forced, and I don't feel any chemistry. Lucy went from being a great character, who took her job seriously. Now she's just like a big child who treats everything like a big game. Basically she became the cop her parents didn't want her to be, and I can't tell if it's the plot, or bad writing - and please don't tell me lol

Angela is NOT scary

i don’t mean this in any disrespectful way but come on, I have no idea why people fear her. She hasn’t done anything to even warrant that. Funniest thing is whenever she tries to be scary or serious i really cannot tell if she’s about to cry or is she trying to be intimidating.

A little DOD for everyone

Just realised every cast member has had a near death experience except one. Tim Bradford. So Lucy had DOD Nolan surviving that fire fight episode in S4 Aaron and Celina under siege Angela with LA fierra in Guatemala Bailey had her own taste of Rosalind Nyla with her home birth arrest Tim Bradford nothing I need him to have one as well and we see feral Lucy

Random Question

Am I the only one that wonders how Nolan was able to pay for his new house as a relatively new P2 in LA??? Like with the things he had to buy for the new house upgrades and then the permit itself to be doing the upgrade to begin with and where it’s located to would’ve been extremely beyond what a new P2 most likely would’ve been getting paid.

What’s your favorite obscure line or scene?

Mine is (in the very dark episode) when Lucy is taken and they find the guy who smuggles stuff inside the prison and Branford’s says “if you don’t tell me I will pull you inside out” and it immediately cuts to them saying the dudes name. For me it’s the only small part of the episode where I smile.

Trying to find an episode..

Hello! I’m trying to refind a moment from an episode I remember.. Basically the scene is Aaron and Lopez? (I believe) are in the shop and basically Aaron is panicked about something and he ignores the radio which is asking about their location. Tim asks if they are okay and he starts thinking another cop is missing. Before Lopez answers and says they are safe.

Tim Bradford's vocabulary.

Does anyone else feel that Tim has one of the best vocabularies on the show? Like it is a notch above the rest of the characters and he comes across pretty sophisticated.

What was the most super duper wow thing for you in the show

For me it is in S2 ep14:CASUALTIES. Rewatching the rookie for the 3rd ti.e and every time I watch this scene I get so hyped.They launch a black op,get caught and then Harper puts up a signal on that dude and BOOM! Lopez pulls up with a big ass sniper 100m up aiming at him.There are many more that I can't remember but this was just sjwvkcmwckdksw

Edit:And then we see bad ass Kojo with Cutie patootie badass Bradford

DOUG STANTON WHAT IF ?

i just watching season 3 again and i thought of an what if story you know after Doug getting fired and him saying this isnt over and you know west will die later in the same season . I think It would have make an excellent story if they created the story as the Doug staton is the one who gave the idea to kidnap Lopez and kill west and Doug is the one who is working for la fiera and he it all of this because him getting fired led to his divorce and he lost everything in his life so he try to get revenge and he succeed in it . But my main question is what would be the reaction of wade ,tim,Lucy,Nolan and lopez to them discovering Doug is behind all of this .
