I mean, it's nice that they tried tackling all of the current police criticism in America that's been going on for the last couple of years, but it feels a little forced and neatly tied in a bow

I'd hate to think that this show's premise is no longer funny to me but that was another episode that I wasn't crazy about. I don't know if it's a change in formula or if I just naturally tired of the characters.

Hader
didn't stick around, his character was a real miss for me. I thought I'd enjoy the
Peralta/Amy romance
more but it feels like a continuation of exactly how they were playing the dynamic before, just
now they're fucking
.
 
I've gotta say that although I don't recall laughing out loud during season 2. It was still a great, entertaining series. It's a very "comfy" watch. I've just finished watching season 2 on DVD and I'm happy Season 3 is here. Shame I'll have to wait for ever for the DVD to release in the UK.

second episode was the best so far, but I loved every jake / boyle moment in this. They have such great comedic chemistry between them

This was actually my favorite episode so far (for the season). It's been the closest to capturing the feeling of the earlier episodes.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I liked the episode a lot. I just wish we saw more of Jake and Boyle's case. Seeing the girl in the cellar at the end with no idea of what happened in between felt weird. They could've spent less time on Scully and Hitchcock especially since there was nothing unusual about that storyline...hur hur, yes, they stole food because they're fat and dumb. The whole episode I was anticipating a plot twist of some sort like Terry did it because he loves it as much as yogurt, and has no idea where to buy it. Something.

expected that early on too, just as I was certain the second the art guy's latex girlfriend showed up that she did it. B99 has always had the most obvious procedural portions, it's been a disadvantage because we've seen so many detective stories and the show is content being predictable, which makes any case of the week feel like such a drag.

Yeah, I don't know what everyone else is talking about. Best episode of the Nine-Nine in a while.


Hope we see more of Rajskub in the future

She was better in her short appearance here than her entire tenure in 24. So yeah, I don't mind if she sticks around.

That was pretty standard B99. I wish we got more of Jake and Boyle, though.

Predictable end to the case when the assistant was introduced, but it was interesting to hear the explanation for it. Plus, we got some hilarious Jake/Boyle moments, especially the end.

Holt/Gina/Amy B-story wasn't fully fleshed out and didn't seem thoroughly put together. The C-story of Terry/Rosa/Scully/Hitchcock was barebones and inoffensive.

The A-plot was great, but every time the show tries for a B and C they tend to both feel underdeveloped. Would prefer if they were a little more focused and didn't mind giving characters a week off.

My hunch, my hunch, my hunch
My lovely casey hunch

Nick Offerman will guest star on B99 on November 22.

http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/14/brooklyn-nine-nine-nick-offerman-parks-recreation

Fans of Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine will have something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving: an appearance by Nick Offerman.

EW has learned exclusively that the man who embodied gruff libertarian survivalist Ron Swanson for seven seasons on NBC’s local-government comedy will guest-star on the Nov. 22 episode of Fox’s cop comedy.

Offerman will play Frederick, who is… no, not the new, new, new captain of the precinct, but the ex-boyfriend of another stoic figure, Capt. Holt (Andre Braugher). Details are few, but we do know that the episode, titled “Ava,” takes place on Thanksgiving Day, and that Frederick crosses paths again with Holt in a story line that involves Sharon (Merrin Dungey), who is the wife of Terry (Terry Crews), giving birth to their third child. Oh, and also: Frederick doesn’t die.

There is, of course, a strong connection between Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Parks and Recreation: Brooklyn was created by Parks creator Michael Schur and exec producer Dan Goor. Brooklyn cast member Chelsea Peretti was a writer on Parks, and co-star Andy Samberg guest-starred on Parks. In addition, such Parks guests as Jenny Slate, Nick Kroll, Patton Oswalt, Bradley Whitford, and Marc Evan Jackson have popped up on Brooklyn, with Jackson playing Holt’s current companion, husband Kevin. You can even briefly hear Offerman’s voice during Brooklyn’s end credits.

Offerman — who appeared on last week’s episode of The Muppets — has a recurring role in season 2 of Fargo, which premiered earlier this week. He’ll also star with Michael Keaton in next year’s big-screen biopic The Founder, about McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc.

The season 3 guest roster of Brooklyn that includes Bill Hader, Dean Winters, Archie Panjabi, and Mary Lynn Rajskub.

New episode today:
Season 3: episode 4 "The Oolong Slayer"

When investigating a serial killer, Jake enlists Holt's help in an attempt to solve the case off the radar. At the precinct, Rosa and Amy are forced to deal with demands from an old adversary and Terry discovers a new obsession.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Tonights episode had great moments. Glad Holt is back at the 99.
 
Yeah the episode wasnt crazy but I still had some good laughs and the high points of the episode were great. The kiss on the forehead, the globe usefulness remark, the Oolong catch phrase, Terry in the fat suit, Holt's comeback at the 99 and Gina's entrance. Jay, Holt and Gina are always good when in scenes together.

The Terry plotline kinda sucked but everything else in this episode was on point. Amy and Rosa were marginal but I like it whenever they're put together. Holt and Jake were great, well-developed ep emotionally, and Gina was hysterical in pretty much every line. the acoustics, to Rihanna, the entrance, loving intrigue.

Glad to see the Vulture/Holt in PR stuff end too. any longer would've been grating.

I loved everything Gina did this episode. Holy shit. I wish I knew someone like her in real life, it would my days so much better.

The main plot was really fun. Glad to have Holt back at the 9-9. I did enjoy our time with The Vulture though. Dean Winters is just so good. Gina's entrance probably got the biggest laugh out of me of the whole thing. I love her. The Terry plot was pretty bad though I think partly because I just hate fat suits.

Good episode, if a bit hokey with the A-plot of Holt/Jake/Gina.

I like that the status quo is back. I didn't expect them to drag out Holt's absence from the 99 for too long, but I didn't expect him to come back until at least another couple of weeks, Christmas being the latest.
 
lol, you really think I didn't use Google.

Did you look at the results of the Google search? There are no links that link to instagram.

Yeah, I saw websta.me, which is not instagram. Did he mean that?

Gotta be more crafty I guess.

Here is what I would have done in your shoes:

step 1: Hmm, there's a Instagram link with her name in the details

Step 2: Alright it's not her account but Amy's one, but look, there's a searchbar. AH HA!
Conclusion:

"Give a man a fish and feeblahblahblah...

You really don't need to be so snarky about it. Not everyone uses instagram or twitter.
