Am caught up with Brooklyn Nine-Nine after being unable to watch it live.

4.7 Mr. Santiago

That felt like a lot of set up, but it was worth it. (I mean, you have to set aside the fact that they really shouldn’t be killing the turkey after putting the vegetables out.) High time we met a member of Santiago’s family and Jake was predictably Jake-ish about it. The business with the turkey was suitably absurd, and Gina naming it after Boyle’s son (let’s pretend he, Terry and Holt ALL wouldn’t spend Thanksgiving with their families again) vicious. And Pimento’s brand of idiocy, the dog show being the source of the gambling… I liked that they pulled off Amy telling her men off for ignoring her opinion and those men, cops that they are, solving the old unsolved case.

4.8 Skyfire Cycle

It was amusing, if not as funny as the previous episode, with a little geek hierarchy thrown in (and Jake used ‘cosplay’ so…) for the Terry-Jake strand, and what was interesting was that Jake didn’t reference his father in all his talk about heroes and being let down by them, given that Amy let slip that she saw Holt and Kevin as father figures (just after we’d met her father). Terry didn’t see it coming that he shouldn’t have met his hero? Oh, Terry.

I wonder if Jake sliding and pantsing heroes came before or after the idea for the intro and the ‘full bull pen!’ Also, I do not think that Holt would have reacted that way a few seasons ago. How the precinct/night shift cycle has affected him.

And the second they made Charles’s cousin act like a dog, I knew Gina would win, but they gave Boyle an almost win in his comeback.
