I will try to keep this short.. the Rookie Feds crossovers need to stop. It was a nice idea, but it is not working with who the lead is in that series. Leave the original Rookie alone, as is, and cancel Rookie Feds and keep the FBI in the far distance. We watched the Feds episode to make sure we didn't miss any of the storyline for the original show, but ultimately we could have skipped that episode completely. Some may consider that a 'spoiler', but I would rather like to consider that as a helpful suggestion to anyone who isn't that interested in Feds already and was on the edge about watching their episode or sticking just to the original.

Outside of the "woke" line some complain about, the writers used a common plotting cliches from recent times to rachet up the tension.

After an initial bank robbery, the episode is one long chase sequence with a bit of cat and mouse thrown in. The cops are always just short of catching the suspects, despite many units on the scene and not being all that far behind them.

The crossover with Feds is a disappointment. While "Simone" may have fans, she does nothing but irritate me with her over the top style.

We decided to watch the cross-over to find out what happened with "the list" stolen during the bank robbery, but I won't be able to tolerate too many of these. They're trying to prop up the new franchise with the existing franchise, but it just makes me less interested in the existing franchise.

I do love the Rookie, Nolan is been a great comedic act from the get go and the story has always been fun. You can watch the rookie and just turn your brain off to a Nathan Fillion show that does the procedural thing a bit different.

After a couple weeks of being on break, the rookie has returned to tell us what happens when Chen and Tim finally do their date. As well as how Nolan's rookie is getting along with Tim's gopher. We even get some new. Even gives us some fun insight into Lopez and Westley.

Then they decided to tank the entire quality of what could have been a solid "cop caught in a bank robbery" by interjecting Simone Clark from the rookie: feds into the whole equation. They are doing their utmost to make that show "work" and it just doesn't. As the other review points out, having the conclusion of this week's episode take place on the feds gives me the blessing of not actually caring if I missed out on it.

I can only hope Feds gets cancelled so I don't have to watch the train wreck of terrible characters on that show interfere with the guilty pleasure of the Rookie.

I instantly felt a pit in my stomach the second the "on last episode" part played and showed the school counselor turned FBI lady. I thought we were finally done with her once they gave her a show

Apparently the show needs to be proped up...so constant annoyance if her showing up in "the rookie" may be a plague we all have to endure.

I hate to be harsh, but I love this show and I very episode she has been in has brought it down from a 9 to a 2. Her character adds zero to any aspect of the show. You can literally skip her scenes and miss nothing in the plot. And her caring is horrific. She is so annoying to listen to. The very makeup of her character trivializes every aspect of these career fields. Nolan took his past and merged it into what he learned in the job. Which is believable. However this lady was a school counselor who trumps FBI and cop training and she just does it all on her own. And the dialogue from her and around her feels contrived.

I guess if her show is struggling and that is why they trying to get more pull. Y throwing her in the main show....then maybe when FBI rookie doesn't get a season 2, hopefully we will never see her in the main show again

I don't like complaining about a show I have loved since episode 1. But this character destroys the wonderful flow the show has had. I really like every actor they have had up till this FBI rookie lady.

First, the bad news. It looks like one of my favorite shows is running off the rails. This episode was all kinds of ridiculous, and basically a disaster. The cops hardly ever seemed to make a good decision, and often made ones that were down right stupid, or just bizarre. The bad guys could fire several hundred rounds from machine pistols without ever having to swap out a (probably 32-round) magazine. The writers have lost their grip on reality, and the show was a ridiculous sham.

The good news? I had zero interest in where the story was going, so felt no compulsion to watch part two of the crossover event continued on "The Rookie: Feds". That show has to be the worst thing I've seen in a decade, so I was really dreading having to subject myself to that much pain to see the conclusion. What a relief!

I hope they can get "The Rookie" back on track. I really like the characters. The cast does a great job. Unfortunately, the writers are killing it with scripts that are laughably bad. This isn't a cop show any more. It's becoming a soap opera for idiots.

This whole episode hinges on the line "Leave it up to a good guy with a gun to mess things up." In todays society, where cops leave children alone and helpless in active shooter situations, and where there are many stories of lives being saved by responsible gun owners, this episode's messaging is not only incorrect, but its harmful disinformation. Besides that, the writing in general is poor. The acting is stiff. The wokeness is overtaking the content again. I had stopped watching the show in season 4. Then I heard this season had gotten better, which it had. Too bad they just can't allow themselves to focus on excellent writing and storytelling.

This show is no longer disappointing because it flatlined a while ago. This episode has the usual anti-whiteness, this time with a gratuitous gibe at the 2nd Amendment. A gun owner very clumsily and stupidly tries to stop a bank robbery in progress, to the dismay of the humorless black female detective on the scene. Yes, that's the big problem with LA right now, too many gun-owners trying to stop robberies in progress. Thankfully, she was there to save the day.. The show also continues to celebrate people who take horoscopes seriously and adults who play a lot of Dungeons & Dragons. A show clearly written by and for 12 year olds.

This has overall been a better season of The Rookie. The bank robbery storyline was ok & seemed promising, although I agree with other reviewers that the commentary on gun owners was a bit much. I enjoyed the little personal tidbits they like to toss at us every week.

What ruined it for me was the arrival of Simone. Thankfully we didn't have to deal with too much of her but I hope they don't make these crossover episodes a regular thing. Her character is too exaggerated & unbelievable, not to mention irritating.

I have no desire to watch the conclusion of this one so I hope I'm not missing anything important.

This wasn't a bad episode but it definitely wasn't best either. If I thought that the double-date with Ashley and Chris was awkward, that was nothing compared to the beginning of Lucy and Tim's first date.

I don't love the direction the Chenford relationship is going in. I didn't expect them to get together in the way they did (him asking her out like a normal person lol); I thought it'd be more dramatic. The way it's progressing is really sweet, but just not the way I expected.

Best part of the episode?

• The contrast between Bradford's method and Nolan's of asking Juarez and Thorsen if they were dating. Thorsen's reaction and his spiel about the inappropriateness of the relationship if he was her superior office. That was hilarious.

Worst part of the episode?

• The bank robbery case wasn't very creative nor interesting. It was a nice touch that they couldn't identify all of the robbery suspects, but the way it was executed wasn't riveting.
