The Rookie (2018)

in this week's episode we see how a lapd rookie is smarter than fbi.
 
Took me a while to recognise that Castle's daughter was in today's episode. That's like 3 members from the Castle team in this show so far.

‘The Rookie’ Bids Farewell To Original Cast Member

The Rookie has said farewell to Officer Jackson West.

He didn't want to return for S3 as well given what was happening in America. But they managed to convince him and set up the story arc to address that. Without giving any reason, he told them he won't return for S4.

He also has a successful music career under the name of Butterfly Ali so probably left to pursue that.
 
guy must be pissed on how he was killed on the show. shot in the back by a teenager. previous season was so much focused on his storyline. it's crazy how tv shows just dump regular characters and completely forget about them. i am not complaining though. he was not really a likable character. but then this whole show is a shitfest. i mean the kidnapping storyline that should have lasted at least over a bunch of episodes was just cleaned up within a single episode with no one dying. and it featured LAPD cops and their bosses working with private military group to illegally enter another country and kill more than a few of its residents to retrieve a single person. what a shitfest.
 
Lol no. The decision to kill his character came after he requested out of the 4th season. Not the other way around. And yeah, the whole rescue plan seems shitty.

Reminds me. The Castle did a much better job where he had to rescue his daughter. The police never interfered going abroad. But Castle being a private citizen could.
 
i mean even then they could have shown a better death for him lol. i was not even sure if he was dead till they talked about it later on. the guy threw his body in the trunk of the car. and that car was in that warehouse. but they did not check the car and left after seeing the ied connected to the dress? i must have missed something while i was facepalming.

sure he was still a hero because he 'scratched' the guy who shot him so they were able to identify him and arrest him. cool cool cool cool cool.

also not to mention... they also got rid of one of the core bad guy the mafia lady at the end of the episode! just like that. shot. and forgotten. i mean what was the direction to the writers of the show? we are doing a reboot? it's time to focus on romance between bradford and chen.
 
Yeah. they didn't check for his body. No funeral either. Hahaha...it could have easily been done in 2 episodes. And they could have dropped both episodes on the same day. At least make it believable. She was the main villain for most of S3 and it took just a single gunshot to kill her? All the other so-called men protecting her suddenly vanished into thin air. When I saw the compound, I was like chalo...maybe at least a good action scene would go down.

It was like the show ran out of the budget with the first episode itself. The show probably hired more extras to get into the car during the escape but dumped all of them at the end. lol

This was the plan B they spent 15 minutes arguing about and were being scared of? This should have been Plan A given how easier it looked. ROFL
 
Not to mention the unlocked storage locker at architect. Or how easily the private military guy gave up. Twice iirc.

If I am not wrong, the actor they hired as the military contractor is known for comedic roles? So obviously he would agree. lol
