Oh, so it’s one of those years when it comes to celebrity deaths, is it?
I absolutely loved Andre Braugher in Brooklyn 99. He was such a talented actor and so endlessly hilarious as Captain Holt. Here’s one of my favorite scenes, the word “bone” was never funnier:
He was only 61 when he died. Man, it’s so unfair.
A show that’s been in the background of my life for almost a decade, oh man. I remember when it first came into my life via Tumblr, there were constant gifs of it and people singing its praises relentlessly. I thought it sounded worth a watch and turns out I was very right.
It’s sad to see it end. But it got a great wrap-up where everyone got to say and do exactly what they needed, AND we finally got to see that dang tattoo. So long, show. Forever a 99/10.
Rosa, we came up together. We went to the academy together. We had the exact same career. All we ever wanted is to be detectives. And yes, we had always known there were problems, but we would solve them together. From the inside. So when you quit, yeah, it made me feel like you thought I was wrong for staying.
I’m gonna miss this show so much, and it annoys me they couldn’t let it run for a nice appropriate nine seasons. Ah well.
My hopes are still high for a spinoff. I want to see the adventures of Young Captain Holt in the 80s and 90s.
