I have a question..

In S08 Ep-10 when miles and harper used a shot gun to shoot many people(some might have died in it too) they didn’t have an IA investigation,
But lucy just fought back without any weapons and she had IA investigation why?

Bradford quote from Season 1

I just started watching season 1, currently on episode 17.

This might be a long shot, but I’m looking for a line Bradford said, possibly between episodes 11 - 15.

Bradford has got to be my favorite so far, and I remember he said something to the effect of “I’m supposed to congratulate you for doing your job?” in his dry, sarcastic tone. I want to say he said it to Chen, but not sure.

I’ve skimmed through everything and can’t find what episode it was from.

I tried to Google and search YouTube, but I keep getting spoilers and nothing close to what I need.

Anyone remember that or have a way of finding the needle in a haystack? It’s gonna bother me until I find it

New lifetime fan here

I’m on the second to last episode of season 8… I’ve watched the entire series in less than a month. When I tell you I LOVE this cast, it’s an understatement. What a series. I hope we get MORE AND MORE

Dash's mom

Okay, on The Rookie, in the very first episode that introduces the character of Dash, we see his mom in that episode as well. However, that is the only episode that we've seen his mother in, but Dash himself has shown up a few more times after that. So my question is, where is his mom?

First time watcher finished s1 episode 12 review

I have to talk about this cause WHAT! This was a roller coaster of emotions.

Wesley and Angela are in bed together,Jacksons brother,Lucy, and the needle,Tim and Isabel done,the stalker.The list goes on.

So much happened in episodes 11 and 12. I just had to post now.

(Also, Talia in that dress at the end of episode 12 oooooo she looked GOOD!)

This was actually so crazy.

The further I get into the show, the more I like Tim. He's a little softie on the inside.Awww☺️

Also, Greys entitlement in episode 12, being like "this place, is my and my wife's favourite place and fav day. I don't wanna see you get out. " IT'S A RESTAURANT!you're not at work.tgey didn't know he'd be there.

Wasn’t it illegal tho…?

Near the end of the season, Dash gives champagne to Nolan/Bailey as a thank you. Ain’t the boy 18? Giving alcohol to his cop buddy? How’d lil’ homie get the alcohol? Buying it himself (i.e., having a fake ID—CRIME—or going to a store that doesn’t card—CRIME ON THEIR BEHALF) or having someone old enough buy it for him (i.e. ANOTHER CRIME)! 🤯🫨

>!Tim is my favorite character and Lucy is my second favorite character since season 1 and I’m so sad ab what happened after the proposal!!<

Season 1 episode 2 scissor lift

The lift that drives into the shop is a scissor lift (type 3A) which has a override stop button on the ground that blocks off all controls, Nolan worked construction. He should know this. Or am I over thinking an obvious gag scene..

They should bring her back in S9 (Gabby from S4 e22)

I was rewatching this episode and Idk if you guys remember her. But she was pretty cool. They should introduce her this time. And let Nolan work with her, she was already interested in working with Him and wanted to move forward. Idk.

Wesley Evers, I appreciate you!

I think Wesley Evers has some of the best dramatic scenes on the show. Shawn delivers a range of emotions with so much raw honesty and beauty. The way he tears up so naturally and conveys the right emotion through his eyes and facial expressions is incredible. He is a wonderful actor!

By the way, I'm excited to see Evers & Del Monte in action together in Season 9 - the cases they'll find themselves involved in and watching their friendship grow. It should be fun!

Here are a few of my favorite moments - Evers :)

RookieRewatch2026: Week 2

Hey r/TheRookie fam!

As Season 8 has concluded - we now face the long hiatus. (An expected 34 weeks without our beloved John Nolan and crew - though no official return date has been announced).

To help pass the time, I’m organizing another RookieRewtach! Here’s last years RookieRewatch2025

This year will be more low-key. Each “Rookie Day” (aka Monday), I’ll post a discussion thread and we can discuss where we’re at in our respective rewatches. Maybe you’re working your way all the way through! Maybe you just rewatched one of your favorite episodes for the hundredth time. Maybe you just want to live vicariously through others and simply comment on their thoughts about the episode(s) they watched. Whatever your reason - I hope you’ll join us! Super chill! Each week I personally plan to highlight a specific character.

Disclaimer/Spoiler Warning:
Because there are some countries where Season 8 has not yet aired, if discussion turns to major season 8 plot points I simply ask you to please be kind to your fellow Redditors and do a spoiler highlight.

That being said - for anyone who has not watched all of season 8 - please be warned there may be spoilers in the comments!

Now that all that’s business is out of the way….

What episode(s) did you rewatch this week? What stood out to you?

This week’s character highlight: John Nolan
Next week’s character highlight: Lucy Chen

Any games deemed to be encouraging these rules to be broken will be removed. (Please note all games require a spoiler tag.)

👍 Before you post, and/or comment, please keep the following in mind:

  1. Use proper post flair⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you're discussing an earlier season - but you reference something that happens in a later season - please use the flair of the latest season you are discussing, or have seen, to help users avoid spoilers. (For example, you're specifically discussing Episode 1x16, and mention Episode 4x1 - please use Season 4 flair)
  2. Do not include spoilers in the title of your post. Use ________ to "hide" certain character names. eg: Nolan's confrontation with _________
  3. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Any posts related to previous plot points across all seasons must be flagged as a spoiler. When in doubt, add a spoiler tag. If you remove the spoiler tag, your post is subject to removal.
  4. Spoiler highlight - when making comments please avoid spoilery comments beyond where OP has indicated they have watched/tagged. To hide spoilers in comments, > ! your spoiler here ! < (Simply remove all spaces between the special characters and end/start of paragraph). Please be kind to your fellow redditors and avoid/hide major spoilers from other TV Shows.
  5. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Duplicate Posts: To prevent feed oversaturation, we will remove duplicate posts. If there are two of the same post, the first valid post will remain. Please check the feed (Sort by New or "last week/month") before posting and respond on an existing thread.
  6. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We are a piracy free subreddit and request users not to request or post pirate links. Piracy violations will lead to bans. “Where can I watch/stream Season 8 in (—) Country?” posts and comments will be removed.
  7. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Please be sure you have reviewed the sub rules

I thought DC was going to be a clever nod at writing Nathan out of the show

I’m glad it’s not, but when the idea of him moving to DC came up I immediately told my wife, “Oh that’s going to happen.” She asked me why I think so and I said, “Nathan Fillion is now playing Green Lantern. He might have too busy of a schedule so the show is writing him off and saying he left for ‘DC’. Green Lantern is DC Comics.“
