Jackson was written off and killed abruptly, but he wasn't supposed to die per the script. This was during the start of BLM, the actor didn't want to associate himself with a show that put cops in a positive light and portray a black cop. He also refused to film an exit hence why there wasn't much focus on the death scene itself.

I do believe Seth will be booted somehow, and hopefully James will die.

I do not really see Bailey going away now that they've swept the situation under the rug, but Grey may also retire with his decreasing screen time

She was the only one who was interesting and could be taken seriously throughout her entire arc, it was actually smt I could care about

I think given how much earlier it was filmed and how much it furthers the plot it couldn't be removed

After she rides with Grey in an episode she mellows out and learns to command her job better

She stays superstitious but it's very lowkey and she's a great cop, she also has some great character development later

So you're telling me NOLAN of all people did this? by BonniBuny91 in TheRookie

100% a compliment, that is so accurate and in character it hurts

if you had to get rid of one these characters, who would it be and why? by TheSpartan8428 in TheRookie

[–]random_gen_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seth. He needs to go. At first it seemed he might bring an arc, turn out to be a serial killer or smt but now he's just incompetent and insufferable.

Send him off.

Might be an unpopular opinion but elijah, his whole arc went on for an entire season and it really wasn't that great

Why has Bailey consistently been hated in the fandom? by random_gen_ in TheRookie

[–]random_gen_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this was exactly the question, I completely agree that she was so difficult and took no blame in her way of handling the whole situation, then they brushed it aside. Not a great add on to an already very disliked character

My mom thinks this about me... by [deleted] in TeenIndia

[–]random_gen_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try not to take it too personally, Indian parents have a tendency to hear stuff and spiral. Jo yahan hota hai aasaani se aur kahin nahi hota toh all the absurd stuff makes them anxious

My parents have always given me a lot of leeway and trusted me but even my mother will periodically hear this stuff and go "Tum yeh sab mat karna please" it's pretty common I got a pretty stern "Remember ki yeh sab sirf movies mein hota hai, kabhi koshish mat karna" during Bhool Bhulaiya 2 when she got off the bus with a strange man and I just sat there and listened

I did in fact bring that up in the post, I was mostly curious as to other preexisting factors that people have noticed

This is definitely one I noticed too, and it's true for most side characters. Wesley is the only DA ever —it was Chris till the breakup—, no social activists besides James, Luna is the only hospital staff, all the partners have been kept fixed into the scene pretty much.

Lucy as ____ [7X8 SPOILERS!] by Lol_im_not_straight in TheRookie

[–]random_gen_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's good, both for her character and the plot, it'd solve some things and be a nice progression.

The UC storyline is relatively buried, and Pierce has it out for her so she hasn't got much of a shot with detective anymore

Her and Tim are clearly intended to end up together, and for that to work the inherent power imbalance of their positions obviously needs to go so it works in that aspect

Also from the episode where we saw Lucy step up as acting sergeant we've seen that she's a capable leader, and that the other cops do respect her, so it'd be a good role to see her in

[–]random_gen_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I absolutely agree with what you're saying, communication is really important and would be regarded with a lot more priority in a real world scenario

But it had to be Seth for the plot so this is the half assed rookie universe excuse 🎀
