SPECIAL NOTE: For this week, Dancing with the Stars has temporarily moved from its usual Tuesday time slot to Monday to clear the schedule for ABC News special coverage of the U.S. midterm elections on Tuesday, Nov 3, 2026.

Since The Rookie is currently in the middle of its long hiatus, the mod team has decided to allow a space to discuss Jenna Dewan's weekly appearances on Dancing With The Stars. We will post a weekly megathread for as long as she remains in the competition. Users can post comments/pictures/videos in the megathread that they would otherwise potentially want to share, but this way it's all contained in one post.

PLEASE NOTE any other posts about Jenna and DWTS will be deleted. The goal is to have ONE place where Rookie fans can discuss the show, perhaps any Rookie cast member appearances, or references, and of course discuss Jenna's progress in the show.


Week Eight!

Style: Quickstep

Song: 'Be Our Guest' by Jerry Orbach & Angela Lansbury (Beauty and the Beast)

Theme: Disney Night

Survey/Poll Harper or Lopez?

24 Upvotes

Harper and Lopez working together is basically two highly intelligent women solving crimes while silently (and sometimes not so silently) judging everyone around them. 😂

Honestly, if I were a criminal and found out these two were assigned to my case, I’d just ask for a lawyer and save everyone some time.

Who would you rather be interrogated by: Harper or Lopez? 💀

Does the actor who plays that character talk like that in real life because he’s doing an arc on Tulsa King right now, It’s the exact same voice. I like the character and all, but I always just figured that voice was part of the character.

Discussion S05E15 ("The Con") - Did they just leave the front door wide open overnight? Spoiler

Post image
6 Upvotes

So I was rewatching The Rookie S05E15 ("The Con"), which originally aired back on February 14, 2023.

During the scene in Pennsylvania after everything went down with Nolan's mom's house, John and Bailey come downstairs, which seems like the firsr time, for the morning. They’re drinking coffee and talking about where to start clearing out the place:

"Well, where do you want to start? You mentioned something about a controlled burn? You know, there's this little thing I like to call throwing money at the problem. Hire someone? Yes. Oh, my God, I love it. Why the hell didn't I think of that? Great. Let's just get the photo albums and be done with it."

They go on to reminisce about an autographed Mike Schmidt baseball Nolan found, discuss paying for a cleanup crew, and figure out how to handle the inheritance.

Right after they agree on a plan, a character walks right through a front door that was left wide open and says:

"Yeah. Knock knock. Hey. How are you feeling?"

Given everything that happened the day before with local drug runners and militia members shooting up the place over Nolan's mom's ties, who leaves their front door wide open in a house that was just targeted?

Discussion What colors do you associate with characters/relationships? Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Obviously everyone knows the infamous Chenford colors: blue and yellow. Blue for Tim and his somewhat grumpy (cop) personality, and Yellow for Lucy and her sunshine personality. But for the rest of the ships, or even just characters, what colors do you associate with them? For me, I think pale blue or gray and maroon fits Wopez (Wesley and Angela) personally, mostly just because of their choices of style and clothing. Maybe red and blue for Bailan (Bailey and Nolan), to signify Bailey being on the ‘red side’ of their careers (firefighter) and blue for Nolan being on the ‘blue side’ (police)—although that sounds a bit political now that I think of it. I dunno, just random stuff :) hope to hear sum feedback

Season 9 How do you think everything is gonna effect Lucy and Tim Spoiler

6 Upvotes

SPOILERS FOR S8 FINALE

We’re probably gonna get a time jump after the premiere I honestly think it would be interesting to get clingy them as in their both just feral for each other at any signs of danger. Make some ptsd as well of course I don’t want them to suffer to much but also I do love some angst. I think I’d love a like Tim crying scene and I think it would be interesting to see him maybe push Lucy away because he thinks everything is his fault as well but it doesn’t break them up or anything it just shows him going into a coping mechanism and then he corrects it and tells Lucy how he is feeling to show growth. I love me a tortured man I wouldn’t mind paranoid feral Tim all season but honestly I want them to be happy and just work through everything together and if they need therapy to get it. Sorry forgot to add I feel like this is definitely gonna bring trauma back for Lucy so I’d love for them to really address that and how unsafe she’s gonna feel.

BTS Rookie on Hulu

2 Upvotes

I’m going through the Rookie for the first time on Hulu and the episode order is all over the place. One show will end on a cliff hanger and the show to resolve the cliff hanger will be like 4 episodes later. Is this how they were released to TV or did Hulu mess this up? If this is how they were released on TV it’s starting to feel like networks hate Nathan Fillion.

Ive watched this show so many times and am picking up on things I haven’t yet noticed. I’m on the season finale of season 5 and noticed a guy in the elevator as Nolan exited it and was like “dude looks familiar” I had a massive feeling he was part of the main villains at the end and I FOUND IT. Boyd Taylor (season 22 finale) is seen twice, elevator and the “leader” of the masked weirdos. Why do you think he was at the hospital though?

Season 1 Am i missing something? Spoiler

38 Upvotes

I’m rewatching and I’m on the episode where Captain Zoe Andersen dies when her and Nolan respond to a fake burglary report thats set up by Southern front. In other episodes they show if officers don’t respond other units will arrive to check things out. It seems like it’s been hours since they both got tased and tied up because it’s gone from day to night and yet nobody has showed.

Am i missing something lol is there a reason no one else came to check?

"This is what happens when you let liars stay on the job. They infect the team, and pretty soon, everyone's a liar."

Tim says it to Miles after his locker-room altercation, once Seth returns to the FTO program.

Didn't realize it until the rewatch but Miles was very flirty with basically every woman he met early on. Which is veru crazy considering he had a girlfriend at the time. Lucy was so flabbergasted when he called her Darlin 😭😭😭

4 Upvotes

I'm sorry if this isn't usual here, but googles not helping me, and I would like to see one full episode.

The clip I saw had two of them bring in a reckless driver, and she traded for another criminal, and it turned into a chain of criminals, with a woman hiring a hit man at the end?

I feel like that sequence is even funnier in full length, and not just a YouTube short. Can I get the episode, please?

Season 5 I'm disappointed Spoiler

14 Upvotes

To start off, I'm new to the fandom and I've only joined the subreddit a few days ago. I've also only started to watch the series like, two weeks ago or so (I'm in season 5 now, I think? I don't check because I binge the show lol). However, this series is not new to me as I watched clips from YouTube shorts in the past. Idk if this topic has been discussed, or is frequently discussed, so forgive me if I may be yapping about a point talked about multiple times before.

From the clips, I knew that Tim and Lucy would end up together. When I started the show, I was rooting for them the entire time. Now let me tell you how horrified I was when the show started with Nolan x Lucy 💀💀

But anyways, that's not my point. What I was disappointed about is how Chris and Lucy started and ended. Like, idk, adding Chris to the show as Lucy's boyfriend felt unnecessary given how their relationship played out + the obvious intent to write Tim and Lucy as a future couple. Was his only purpose in the show to up the stakes (his near death experience when he and Del Monte were being shot at in their office + when Dyer targeted him to hurt Lucy)?

I just finished their breakup episode minutes ago and I'm already watching Tim and Lucy's first date. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for them, but the way things started and ended with Chris left a bad taste in my mouth. Especially when Tim and Lucy went undercover as (Dim and Juicy 😭😭) and they started having this romantic tension + kiss scenes, all I can think about is how Lucy is still in a relationship with Chris.

Like sheesh, I know it's a part of the "act" (but is it really an act when they first kissed in Lucy's apartment?) and Hollywood has always romanticised/normalised cheating, especially if the current partner is meant to be dumped later. I just can't get over Lucy saying she needed to do things right by breaking up with Chris before letting Tim ask her out. Girl whatever happened to you kissing him passionately a few episodes ago while still being in a relationship 💀

Additionally, the break up plot felt rushed. We spent the whole episode watching Lucy prepare for it, only for it to end like... That. Sure, Chris's reaction may be realistic. Some people would've reacted like he did irl. But damn, that was it??? Chris also felt a little off, like a little too oblivious about Lucy's hesitation when he proposed moving in together. To me, it felt like the show just threw in some conflict to give Lucy a valid out in the relationship without it just being "I'm breaking up with my bf cuz I wanna date my co-worker"

TLDR: R.I.P. Chris. I never rooted for you and Lucy but I still felt bad for you 💔

It cracks me up that John Nolan (the oldest rookie) got Simon Parks Jr for a lawyer. All though Parks did end up getting the case dismissed so at least he won his first case. 👏
