History Headscratchers / BrooklynNineNine

*** Because it's Hollywood and one trope they will never get sick of is having the lazy slacker (almost always white) guy dating and marrying the hard working minority girl, and bombarding audiences with that image.

* How is the case against Jake and Rosa ''so'' open and shut? The show makes it out as though they have no hope of being found innocent, but there are at least a few techniques that their defence team doesn't even seem to consider:

*** There's no double standard though as Jake and Amy would be affected differently so couldn't make the same demands. Ultimately what Amy was saying is that she wants kids, and if Jake doesn't then that would be a deal breaker and they'd have to split up and Amy would move on to find someone who does want kids. Potentially sad but its a real issue that needs consideration. Amy's problem is that she cant wait for Jake to decide in a couple of years on the issue as if by the he doesn't want kids, she's older and has less time to find someone else, whereas Jake doesn't have that pressure as if in a decade he changes his mind its still physically possible to have kids. His glib answer that he's never be rich enough for a young woman to want his kids when he was old really didn't help either. Amy wasn't demanding they have kids in the then and now, just acknowledging that it was a decision that would have long term consequences for both of them. The "partnership" you mention is Jake thinking seriously about if he wants kids and either saying yes, and they have them together, or saying no with the understanding that that would end the relationship as its not a point they can compromise on.

*** There are also 2 other factors to consider; firstly Holt can spend most of his shift, whereas Jake has to be on his feet most of the night, furthermore Jake's injury might weaken his leg more than Holt's rebar injury would (I'm not sure, not a doctor).

* Why did Figgis only threaten Jake and Holt? The whole squad worked to take him down, not just those two. If anything, wouldn’t Figgis want to target Rosa, who wasPimento’s fiancé at the time?

* Does the show's treatment of Holt and Wuntch's relationship make anyone else uncomfortable? She claims that her enmity towards him has nothing to do with him sexually rejecting her, but she pretty clearly sexually harasses him on screen - twice. Once when she gives him an unnecessarily long pat-down and again when she kisses him on the lips after trumping him. And both of these incidents seem to be played for laughs. This just seems weird considering how the show otherwise deals with things like this quite seriously.

** Captain Holt probably isn't the type to ''want'' to retire, as per TruthInTelevision. His [[VagueAge ambiguous age is probably left unanswered to avoid this kinda thing happening in a realistic way]]. It could also just be RuleOfFunny: Captain Holt is [[MathematiciansAnswer old]] years old. That's all you need to know. That, or this show is set in an alternate universe where things work differently. There's some stuff in this show that may suggest this to be the actual case.

* In episode 21 of season 1, why does Rosa think someone is lying to Gina when she claims to know Papa John (as in, the guy the pizza chain is named for)? It's not like they just randomly chose that name, there really ''is'' a Papa John: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Schnatter John Schnatter]], who founded the chain.

* In the first episode after Florida, Jake uses a cane because he’d been shot in the leg. But Holt had been impaled on rebar earlier that day and he seems fine. His injury was most likely worse than Jake’s - why did he recover so quickly?

* In the episode ''Captain Latvia'' (Season 4 episode 10), Nikolaj's hero, Captain Latvia, is a Latvian hero that can speak to possums. Just one question though. How is he able to speak to possums if there are [[https://twitter.com/nevertoocurious/status/1034035954053304320?s=19 no possums]] in Latvia?

** The fake Cayman Islands account is set up under the name Flaxton Hill Holdings – a name that is explicitly linked to a witness who had nothing but kind words for Hawkins and claimed Peralta threatened him.
** The existence of a bank account with a few signatures – which are never cross-examined – is one thing; there's not even any history of Peralta or Diaz accessing those accounts.

* In Season 6 Casecation, Amy says she doesn't want to wait two years for Jake to decide if he wants kids because she'll have to 'start again'. Why does the show not acknowledge the full size and import of this as basically an ultimatum to Jake that has to have kids with her? Jake snarks about it but by the end of the episode all is forgiven.

*** There's no double standard though as Jake and Amy would be affected differently so couldnt make the same demands.
