History Headscratchers / BrooklynNineNine

** I'm not a cop myself, but from what I've read, real life police don't necessarily tend to strictly partner up in the sense that TV often depicts them as doing -- i.e., in the sense that you only ever have one partner ever. Cops tend to work in squads and kind of interchange "partners" from other members of the squad depending on the situation. While obviously some officers might find they work particularly well with other officers and might tend to work with them more frequently, in other cases it might just be as simple as grabbing the nearest person from your squad who happens to be there and doesn't look like they're doing anything at that particular moment when you catch a case and need someone to work with. The B99 squad is apparently just flexible in that way; note we've also seen Boyle work with Diaz (especially in the earlier seasons), Peralta work with Santiage (before they hooked up / Santiago got promoted), Peralta work with Terry, and Santiago work with Boyle on occasion.

** The only logical InUniverse explanation is that it ''didn't''. Reminder that Captain Holt as a tendency to lie about and mask his injuries.

* Something just hit me: You'd think that Holt's gay pride flag's (at least I think he has about two of them) would immediately make Wuntch realize that Holt is gay, right?

** 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 it's 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.

** IIRC when Holt gets back CJ has been put in charge of the day shift, while Holt is moved to the night shift. In any case, while C.J is an idiot and the characters had good reasons, they nevertheless genuinely did disobey a direct order from a superior officer, and as Holt is the person they disobeyed the orders for there's a clear conflict of interest there. Holt is often shown to be rather LawfulGood in inclination, and a key theme of the series is often how a real police department often doesn't work like it does in the movies -- namely, that the characters don't always have HeroInsurance when they break the rules in service of the plot. While Holt obviously doesn't like being on the night shift and is happy to ensure that the punishment doesn't last any longer than it needs to, they still rightfully had some punishment of some kind coming and it would be inappropriate for him to intervene on their behalf to get them out of it entirely.

** In a (rather cynical) Watsonian explanation, Gina has frequently been accused of being a CreatorsPet (or at least CreatorsFavorite). It's possible that she gets away with all her horrible actions simply because the writers like her too much to inflict any meaningful punishments on her.

** Rosa probably thought the Papa John that Gina met wasn't the real Papa John.

* I gotta ask... In "The Therapist", Jake mentions that while he was living in New York, he's lived in a place where the toilet was literally in the refrigerator... Does such a thing happen in RealLife (specifically New York), or is that [[RuleOfFunny a thing that only happens in the Brooklyn 99 universe?]]
