Line #28 YMMV/RepublicOfDoyle


1	* AssPull: Some saw the reveal that [[spoiler:Sloan wasn't actually Jake's daughter]] to be this, as it contradicted certain earlier scenes such as [[spoiler:Sloan realizing that she and Jake looked very similar, and her secrecy in getting the [=DNA=] testing done (as well as her shock when she saw the results) - her later telling Jake that it had been a faked test just seems awkwardly shoehorned in.]]
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: This show has it in spades, from the theme song (Great Big Sea's "Oh, Yeah") to the songs used in the episodes.
3	* CargoShip: Slightly in the case of Jake and his car.
4	* HoYay: Between Des and Jake, although it's more hero worship than anything. Seriously, Des is overly touchy with Jake, ''wears his clothes''...
5	* NightmareFuel: Taylor Gossard's attack of claustrophobia after being locked in a closet (temporarily). Granted, he's an arse, but those who share his fear know just how terrified and sick he felt.
6	* OneTruePairing: Jake/Leslie, Mal/Rose, Des/Tinny.
7	* PanderingToTheBase: Shirtless Jake is blatantly pandering to the female fanbase (and probably not a few [[EvenTheGuysWantHim male fans]] as well). [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dTQ4Civ9X-8/TSQK4CWCnbI/AAAAAAAAKv4/q1J3oN3dx5s/s1600/allan-hawco-shirtless-002.jpg Yeowza]].
8	* RetroactiveRecognition:
9	** Why is [[Film/PacificRim Hercules Hansen]] dressed as a biker and trying to kill Jake? Guess losing Chuck must have hit him harder than we thought.
10	** Why is [[Series/TheStrain Mr. Quinlan]] getting smacked around by some random thug and becoming Jake's uncle-in-law? Isn't he a badass half-vampire?
11	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Tinny. She was a right little arse in the beginning, but once she started training to become a cop, she became a lot more mature and responsible.
12	* TheScrappy:
13	** Tinny (to some - also qualified initially as {{the load}}). She grew/dealt marijuana (which could have landed Jake/Malachy in ''serious'' trouble if she'd been caught), was a complete manipulative witch to Mal, Rose and Jake in the beginning (who were all honestly trying to help her), blatantly used Des, and seemed to have [[spoiler:thrown her chance to go to England away - it turns out she actually ''did'' go to England, she just couldn't crack it and came back.]] She also got very {{tsundere}} over Des' relationship with Chandra, eventually culminating in his [[spoiler:breaking up with her]], and showed hints of {{yandere}}-ness. Thankfully, she gets RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap as of season four.
14	** Des can come across as a bit creepy (he absolutely worships Jake and even wore his pants for a while), and his habit of inappropriate babbling (while other characters look on uncomfortably) can be grating to some.
15	** Sloan got a ''lot'' of hate from fans who felt she came out of nowhere and essentially took over the show, being someone portrayed as a gorgeous, sarcastic, brilliant young woman who out of nowhere was revealed to be [[spoiler:Jake's daughter - although it turns out she was (apparently) simply conning him]]. Some reviewers commented that the show seemed to be becoming "Republic of Sloan". There were also complaints that she seemed to be the ReplacementScrappy to Tinny, as she shared a lot of similarities to Tinny in the early seasons. [[spoiler:On the other hand, fans were also quite unhappy as to how her arc ended - see AssPull above.]]
16	* SpecialEffectFailure: A couple of times in season five in particular, the usage of a green screen during some stunts was very obvious. Also, if one pays close attention to when Jake is talking on his iPhone you can see it's on the home screen or actually locked (you can see the white "slide to unlock" bar, if it were in call mode, there would be a red "hang up/end call" button instead).
17	* {{Squick}}: Jake's reaction whenever Malachy and Rose start to get intimate.
18	%%* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Des.
19	%%* TheWoobie: All the main characters have had moments like this.
