The Rookie "Under the Gun" 2x18 review

[ProudTVJunkie]

Did anyone else catch the guest star who was on Castle during season 3?

Are you rooting for Grace and Nolan? Upset about Tim and Rachel?

Here's my review of "Under the Gun"... www.tvfanatic.com/2020/04/the-rookie-season-2-episode-18-review-under-the-gun/

Alexi Wrote that episode in season 3 so no wonder he used Josh Wingate. I really didn’t remember him. It seems to be who you know in LA. It would be stressful for new actors when they get a job to make sure they do a quality job and get along on set.
I really liked Tim and Rachel. I really don’t want to see him date Lucy. That would just not work. She already left Nolan because dating a fellow officer. I hope she remembers Talias warning and doesn’t go there. I like them as friends and colleagues.
I had hopes for Nolan and Grace. Maybe Nathan never wants to have his character involved on screen again after Castle? I would like to see Nolan’s friend Ben return. He needs a friend outside of work.

Once Lucy is no longer a rookie, has established herself, and Tim is no longer her training officer, I think dating wouldn't have the impact it might have had when she first started out. I'm not a diehard Tim/Lucy shipper but I would find that relationship interesting, I just don't think it's the right time for them just yet.

I think that this is just another obstacle for Nolan and Grace, which is normal for TV. They always want to make you root for a couple and then put them in jeopardy somehow. I'd be surprised if Nolan and Grace don't find their way back together fairly soon.

I did catch Josh Wingate, it took me a few minutes to figure where I saw him but it was good to see him

I thought the episode was, again, a great mix of humor and drama. I appreciated the story line about the juveniles and the prison visit and thought they really humanized it with the 2 brothers connecting. That was an emotional encounter. I agree with PTVJ that going back in to rescue the warden was a highly questionable act but at least they resolved it with the inmates releasing her and not some unbelievable fight that 2 unarmed cops win.

I like Lucy and Tim as partners for now but wouldn't mind seeing them test the waters down the line. I hate to see Tim lose the happiness he's found lately but I do think he'll choose to stay in LA.

I have to say that my favorite story line this time was  Lopez and West. I loved her confident and sassy approach to the stats guy and West did his level best to smooth over her remarks.

I was disappointed that Grace really thinks they can fix Oliver by trying to get back together but I also recognize that there needs to be a stumbling block for Grace and John's growing relationship. I kind of hope we even see Grace and John reuniting in the 2 part finale. Looks like these last 2 episodes are going to be quite the ride!

This was my favorite episode of the season. I did not catch Josh Wingate til I saw his picture in the revue. I liked that epi on Castle!

I like Tim and Rachel together. It's the happiest that I have seen Tim be. I enjoy how Tim and Lucy are as friends.

Lopez is one of my favorite characters. She's smart, confident, AND sassy. I love how she handled the numbers guy, LOL.

Still not a huge Grace fan. She should of been honest with John from the start. At least he could of guarded his heart that way. They could of just been friends til she got her personal life together. It would of saved John a lot of heartache.
