šŸš” NEW Videos Every Saturday at 10 AM EST!

I make videos based off the ABC show ā€œThe Rookieā€ featuring Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, Melissa O’Neil as Lucy Chen, Eric Winter as Tim Bradford and many more.

I fell in love with the show when Season 7 started, and I binged it all in just a few weeks. I want to make content based around it since there really isn’t much out there

I had just put out a post saying the new video (and the pilot of my new series) would come out in 30 minutes... However, ABC/Lionsgate blocked and claimed it, which kinda changed my plans lol...

But I don't wanna give up on this just yet. I'm appealing the claim, which puts me at a risk for a full copyright strike on the channel. No new video this week, and I'm sorry that there's been a severe lack of videos the last couple weeks, but just know I'm fighting tooth and nail for this to happen.

Hey everyone! Gonna take a week off as we are planning to revamp to a new series I wanna try during the off-season. We're working out the quirks and what we need to change for it. Stay tuned!

I will have a compilation come out this weekend though, if anyone needs something to fall asleep to. My last one got claimed and I couldn't get it back lol. So made some changes and am trying again

There are people blatantly stealing my videos and posting them on TikTok, so now I feel like I gotta say it: MY REAL TIKTOK IS @REALROOKIECENTRAL, and ANY other account is fake and should be reported if you find my videos on them. Kthxbye!!

The new video may be delayed a little bit compared to usual. But it should still come in the next few hours. My bad yall!

In exchange, I'll be LIVE today at 5:30 PM ET for a little while to talk about Season 8, talk about Season 9 predictions, as well as some stuff involving the future of the channel. Keep your eyes out for it!

My Season 8 Episode 18 "The Bandit" REVIEW and THOUGHTS

SPOILERS AHEAD
.
.
.
.
I’m writing this as I am watching it live.

Okay, I know I’ve said The Rookie has jumped the shark many times throughout the last few seasons. I’ve always thought that after S6E10 and S8E1, they’d never be able to find a way to jump the shark further…

But they did! YAY! 😃😃😃😃😃

But in all seriousness, what the hell is going on?! A helicopter with a giant magnet? Come on now. And why are LAPD cops on this mission that 100% should’ve been left to the FBI? And Bailey came along for WHAT?! The military didn’t go on this excursion, so why should she? They’re just putting her in anything nowadays.

Wesley getting involved in Everett’s case the way he did was also… a choice. And why did they make him and Tim so hostile to each other? They’ve been friends for years, so it makes no sense for them to rock the boat with all of Wesley’s relationships like this; first with Angela and now with Tim. And he’s loaded and doesn’t care about money much, so money shouldn’t have been an object in all of this.

(Editing after getting to the Lopez part: okay we’re good now lol)

I will say, I did like the actual excursion though. I think them not adding much music to this part of the episode was a good choice, and the music they did choose was very fitting.

The Nolan in the Trans Am sequence was badass as hell too, I gotta give it that lol

I also was scared for Miles for a second earlier on in the episode but then thought ā€œthey just made him a main character this season. They’re not getting rid of him THAT quickly.ā€ And I’m glad I was right.

AND FINALLY, I HAVE TO MENTION THE ENDING. WHY CAN’T WE EVER HAVE ONE NICE THING WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED BY SOME STUPID CRAP? They couldn’t wait until the Season 9 premiere? They couldn’t let us have ONE MOMENT? Soured the whole proposal for me. I was actually excited to be wrong about the timeline and to see the proposal. It was so cute and then… all of it was gone.

You can’t do something like this on a season finale. I bet people had to have the same feeling when Under Siege came out 3 years back. I hadn’t discovered the show yet so didn’t watch it live to have that same impact. But I think this along killed this episode further than it already was heading down for me.

Before the proposal, I was ready to give this episode a C rating. Then, during the proposal, I was ready to bump it up to a B. But the ending 30 seconds put it down to D tier for me. And it’s so unfortunate too. Because I know people were looking forward to this, and now we’re stuck with this for 8 months. They definitely screwed up with this one.

Monica's death was more emotionally impactful and shocking than Jackson's.
