- Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) has a 'golden ticket': his choice of any assignment in the LAPD. Despite some good advice from friends, co-workers and loved ones, he decides to go his own way. Watch 'The Rookie' SUNDAYS 10/9c on ABC and Stream on Hulu.
I love how Grey has come full circle with Nolan. From "I don't want you here" to "I can't imagine you NOT here"
That, plus I really like the Grey character. The kind of leader you'd run through a wall for.
exactly, he's the kind of boss i'd want
He's the kind of boss I want 4 times over! I have four shitty bosses at my job and would love to have bosses who don't let ego run the place, if you know what I'm trying to say.
What Nolan chose is the right path for him and Grey coming around and seeing his potential is awesome. Sometimes we have to give people chances before passing judgement
@@11rahimis1234 it wasnt really the "right" path more so its HIS path after everything he has gone through, he could have shortcut to a more lucrative vocation but he took up the vocation he has grown into
Training officer is the best for him, because that gives back to the Captain who took him in, because he could give a different view from the younger officers.
First started this show with low expectations and it honestly has become my favorite show lately can’t wait for more
Same man I grew up playing halo and Nathan fillon/Nolan played sgt.buck seeing him in this show was great the whole cast is really solid
its fillion star power.
It took multiple clips of this show coming across my recommended feed before i caved. Watched all 5 seasons across two weekends. Glad i did.
@tystin_gaming yes me too!!! I can't wait for the next season to come out
Same, I gave it a shot because I'm a Browncoat and if captain Tight pants or any of the Serenity crew is in something, I'll give it a go.
Honestly the golden ticket does more than just give him a pass to do the job he wants. It shows higher ups that his previous mistakes don’t put weigh the good he’s done. And him picking TO, which is arguably the most selfless choice someone could make, it shows the goodness of his character. Him using this doesn’t mean TO us all he’ll be. This could be the foundation that he creates his career on
It allows him to continue what the original captain wanted, older but fresher eyes and it allows him to teach the in others where younger cops would lack those ideals
plus he has seen what the difference a good and bad mentor are having met Stanton and Armstrong
@@leocitywrestling7029armstrong was not bad tough. He was a coward, ruthless and ultimately an asshole. But he was good at his job and a friendly and helpfull person. Just as long as someone didn't get in his way or call him out, that is.
@@mlgmeistros4278 you kinda defined what a bad cop is there
A layabout like Smitty will deteriorate the force but not before someone like Armstrong, Stanton or that Union President destroys it first
Although if you ask me, they’re too strict with blocking people out with ONE reprimand as far as I remember
Yes. Nolan made a mistake. But to me, if that blocked him being a detective, or from receiving promotions out of patrol officer, then it implies the higher ups don’t think people can learn from their mistakes. Which is frankly the WRONG mindset.
Nathan Fillion is such an underrated actor! Love this show🎉
Me too
no, he isn't. he isn't a very good actor, at all. he plays the same character over and over and over again for a reason.
@@TheRedStateBlue
Not true. The rookie he's a cop
In Serenity, he is an ex soldier, turned space transporter, jack of all trades type...
@@lisadykes4633 do you think he's capable of a portrayal such as heath ledger's joker?
no. every character he plays is the witty, slightly sarcastic but can sometimes look serious hero archetype.
same character over and over and over again. i didn't say he didn't do it well. i love firefly and still watch it a couple times a year and got hooked on castle when i had a night job babysitting satellite decoders and it came on tnt all the time.
but he does what he does and doesn't do anything else because he can't do anything else.
Would have been interesting if he became a detective. Sort of a revival of Castle
I'm wondering about that two
@@victurehighbaugh8282 never saw castle.. any good?
@@jakestark2483 Absolutely
@@jakestark2483 its an amazing show if you like murder mystery and drama you will love it
Yea but the show is called "the rookie".. he fr gonna be a boot cop
Been a Fillion fan since Firefly and Castle! I think this show is his best work.
Grey is like, "That's my son."
Nar grey know Nolan too well and was just waiting for him to say training officer
Yes I have some good times and then you have it was going for interview for restaurant workers comp settlement and then you have work schedule picture of you oil pull
Did he have him when he was like 8 lol
I love how much Nolan and grey came form the first season 😊
Agreed. Wade started out thinking that John was a mistake waiting to happen but he’s seen Nolan work ten times harder than every other officer and become one of the finest badges in the Mid-Wilshire division. You can feel the enormous amount of pride and respect Grey has for Nolan.
He now sees exactly what Andersen saw when she selected Nolan to come to Mid-Wiltshire.
He seems so different. Going from a mystery writer to a police officer. The same though he's fighting crime.
also dong forget a rebellious ship captain
@@jameswg13 Don't forget the singing super hero Captain Hammer.
He also hung out with Two Guys A Girl at a Pizza Place.
And let's not forget his time as an ODST NCO.
@@danielhaire6677 I like to believe that the time continuum needs a wack with a crowbar, so that one actually happened later...
The sad thing is everyone was against him becoming a TO. He knew it was the right choice for himself and the department, not just himself. He wants to give the new rookies a better chance than what is available to them currently.
Nolan is by far the most caring person in the department as it stands. He doesn’t seek glory and honor, he keeps a level head in so many stressful situations, and he will always have his team's back. He is far beyond deserving of that golden ticket and then some. He knew he could've asked for anything, but chose the humble side and decided to teach and mentor.
Funny enough that is also the character of Judge Dredd
@@leocitywrestling7029 never watched it. I will take your word on it.
@@narnian19 well here’s a scene from the 2 known movies
In the Stallone one: at the very end when the remaining Judges asked Dredd to become new chief justice he said: I’m a Street Judge, & I’m very late for work effectively refusing the offer for higher position
In the Karl Urban one: Also around the end When the Chief Judge stepped in she asked what the situation was and Dredd said it’s a ‘Drug Bust’ despite it being a Terroristic Lockdown for Judge Execution
And even though on paper Anderson had failed due to losing her primary weapon, he passed her based on her field performance
@@leocitywrestling7029 interesting. I don't watch "R" rated movies, so I will just have to picture it as you said for both. I do like Nathan Fillion in this series though, so I can see him acting in similar manners for other movies and shows.
@@narnian19 Actually I think he originally wanted to go as far as he can early in the series then when his path to detective was barred the next best was TO to which Bradford saw it as an insult as he takes that role seriously it was when Nolan spoke back that he will be one regardless of his assistance or deterrence to which Bradford gave him some respect
So when he finally got that ‘golden ticket’ he stuck to the path ahead of him than change or reset course
Baileys woof woof was adorable
If Nolan was any other rookie with a regular routine he would have taken Detective easy
But given what he’s gone through before donning the uniform up to now, he knows how important a guiding mentor is having ridden with a multitude of TOs & Mentors as well as having met corrupted individuals in Stanton, Armstrong & the union president
He now understands a TO can bring greater change to rookies when they start far greater than when they become established in the force
Not to mention, he's a father which already makes him a natural 'mentor' as a TO
Plus given the level of ‘excitement’ he goes through as a uniform, time in a suit won’t match up to it
Yeah, in fact I think she sort of now thanks Armstrong for framing him which ended up blocking him from getting to become a detective because if he wasn't he may never have discovered that fact.
@@blackdemonknight but it didn't really stop Nolan's momentum, he still stopped armstrong and ultimately her timed plans too, and he did so as a beat cop, hell a beat cop is when ppl typically 'play ball/safe to get to the higher vocations where the rules/books get thrown at them and again he gets it all as a beat cop
Its not the rank or uniform that makes them great its who they are before wearing it that makes the uniform great
Just as a TO, he can guide other rookies to figure that out too as a career path than outside of it
@@blackdemonknight Ironically i think him not being a detective was not what she wanted, i think she wants him to be detective to get closer and have greater access to her
@@jeremydale4548 and what makes him exceptionally dangerous is he’s head of a public union than a private union so there’s a likelihood he runs more smaller police unions throughout the California state (meaning what he did to stop Nolan can be done so to any other cop like him in the rest of the state) and won’t put it past that he’s the one who punished him to work at the border (which ironically got Nolan that golden ticket)
I wasn't that surprised, he would go for Training officer. I am also actually glad they didn't catch Rosalind yet, cause she'd definitely my favorite villain on this show. Hope she'll return now and then in this season #TheRookie.
I hope Chris survived and I am excited, to see how this season is going to be
I thought he wanted be detective finally but, I kinda respect that. Go for being a training officer because he wants to change the department. After everything went down with Doug Stanton's corruption racist behavior and what he did to Jackson. But, nolan is right about to make some changes in the LAPD department. The promotion detective that can wait just a little while. Once he finish train his first boot rookie he'll be getting soon.
Annie wersching did a great job last night as Rosalind
@@qwentingreer6793 I agree. Grey said it was now impossible for Nolan to reach detective due to his reprimand, but after everything he's done since, and getting a golden ticket due to his bravery, I think the brass will see that he has what it takes and he will move up the latter from T.O to Detective one day. I just hope we get to see it.
@@ahsokarules2369 By the end of the season finale or next season.
@@ahsokarules2369 he doesn't need to become a detective he can directly opt for becoming a sergeant and be a TO. In LAPD senior detectives and sergeants have the same authority.
If the show ever ends it needs to have the final shot to be Nolan taking Grey's place as the Sergeant in charge taking his first morning briefing. Complete full circle.
That is actually a very good idea would love to see that, only problem is then we all would want a continuation of him actually being the Seargent/Watch Commander lol
@@ScottPreedy420 😂😂 Yeah true!
1:33 no that’s a true hero
Favorite show is back
This guy (Fillion) is underrated, and I wish he worked in the Uncharted Franchise. The show is really well made. One of my top 3 favourites.
Check out the fan made uncharted film with Nathan
I love that he stayed true to himself! But training the newer boots is his way of doing good and something right.. Teaching younger cops how to treat a person and keep them humble
From a practical standpoint, if the producers want to keep calling the show The Rookie, they have to have a rookie tie-in. This gives them one for as long as they need it -- Nolan's rookie du jour. A clever move.
Yes T.O 🥳🥳🥳I am happy he decided that
Grey always doubted Nolan from the beginning so this is like “I’m proud of you for proving me wrong” also love how grey smiles because throughout the show Nolan always says how he will be a detective and this is like “you know what you want not what your gut wants”
And he nailed his test… about 97% if I recall.
1:07 bailey really wants a dog
She almost got one in the last episode
The ending to this episode though….
😮😮😮😮
Essentially this decision sets up Bradford to take over Grey & Nolan to take over Bradford
Gray loves him now.
He always has
@@awkwardfreakinperson7936 no not the frost season or so. Nolan had to prove himself
1:16 ❤❤❤❤❤
1:21 you really had his moral set straight
Grey promised to get his ass booted on his first day and now he respects the hell out of him and considers him a friend
I hope they evolve this show and break it into a new show set a year ahead with nolan being a detective and everyone else jumping forward in their careers too
A sequel show
But isnt nolan basically banned from being detective ever since that whole incident with armstrong?
He had a golden ticket.. @@yoga5631
@@yoga5631 by normal means yes, but with that golden ticket he had the opportunity
but he has kept his word to be a TO as far back as when Bradford had doubt in his detour
@@yoga5631 a golden ticket is basically the equivalent to get out of jail free card or a Pokemon master ball where you can use it to get anywhere or catch anything you want to do in the force
Woof woof. Bailey is a keeper
He got an even bigger promotion to being a space cop since he’s now Guy Gardener.
Could have circumvent his earlier reprimand, but this is noble. Plus, not self serving 👏👏
Grey in S1 was on Nolan's ass 😂
You mean a hardass on nolan but, when season 2 came he got more respect from him.
It was as Grey said: in the beginning he was worried Nolan was gonna be a liability and he believed that Nolan was treating this like a vacation of sorts, a distraction from his midlife crisis, and would put his officers at risk. But the more he saw his dedication and his work Grey realised that was mistaken and Nolan actually makes a great asset for his team, and once he saw that his respect for Nolan grew immensely
My dad was a homicide cop. After many years and as we got older it began weighing on him. You can only see so many charred children's bodies and worse. Yeah, worse. Don't try and imagine it.
He became in charge of a whole new division of training and these guys absolutely lived and died on his word.
It meant the world to him.
When I was in my 30s I ended up dating one of his Sgts, super sweet and caring and respected the hell out of my dad.
We need good cops on the right places. Training new cops to be good cops are some serious good points.
I love Grey and Nolan together
this should be available in the UK wish I don't have to watch it on a 3 party website
It’s on hulu on a Monday.
@@Awkward616 The UK cannot access HULU without a VPN
if i remember right its on nowtv
@@LukeWatson121 only season 1-4 so far, we have to wait like 6 months or something like that for season 5
@@GamersUKCentral still better then nothing
In the thumbnail he looks like the Scrubs Janitor pretending to be a cop.
I honestly assumed he was going to end up in something like hostage negotiation due to how often it shows him talking people down
Captain Mal/Hammer has come a long way as an actor...
Esposito and Ryan would be so proud!
glad he chose T.O but i will admit i would have liked to see him as a k9 officer and a fluffy doggo partner.
My favorite show is back in this
Oh my gosh. I would have done air support. You can always find a job with those skills
I was just rewatching Season 1 Lucifer and WOW, Sergeant Grey was a criminal. 😂😂😂😂😂
If someone said “woof woof” to me I would have said “Down girl/boy” without hesitation
I love this show
If Nathan Fillion is casted as a Green Lantern in the New DC movies, he should be Hal Jordan.
Close. I think he's gonna be Guy Gardner.
I wonder if they can do a cross over with S.W.A.T. Nolan and crew teams up with 20 David.
Not possible. Different networks.
@@lynnmoore3684 Wishful thinking though it would be a interesting crossover episode.
Gray learn to see value what Nolan brought as cop to the point he respect's him
Nolan will earn a chance at another promotion i know when Bradford eventually becomes watch commander he will probably make nolan his head guy pending he passes the sergeants exam
Idk why but I wanted him to become detective. Probably makes no sense but I just wanted to see him solving crimes in a suit lol
He becomes a detective and this becomes just another police procedural show. He becomes a TO and they can introduce a new Rookie, but now Nolan’s on the other side of the equation.
@@bryantwu8993 Perfectly understandable. I just personally wanna see him go for detective because itll give me Castle vibes.
I think it’s supposed to be poetic since he was the rookie and now he’s going to be the one training rookies. Everyone else moved around too. Plus they already had someone move to detective. I guess they can’t have two characters move.
If you want to see him solving crimes in a suit, just go watch Castle.
@@Kaelland Its really just the nostalgia of it. Im not saying he needs to be a detective, its just PERSONALLY if I saw him in a suit it would bring nostalgia.
Anyone eles loveing the fact that Bailey is the one saying do a office job when she would never do one lol girl went from fire fights to fighting fires let’s see some offer her arson investigator post
"..I don't know what he'll pick but I'm sure it'll be the lamest thing possible.."
While I respect for his decision to become a Training Officer, I totally would have gone with K9 Handler
I don't think they have a k9 unit for this show
@@Faithful687They do. Just because we haven't seen it doesn't mean that the K-9 unit doesn't exist
So all the people that are important to the team were kept safe até station, except Ashley and Chris? That has to mean something 😅
Well...those at the station were the people Rosalind mentioned by name and I know Chris was supposed to have officers around him. Now Ashley on the other hand, 🤷♀️.
One thing for sure though....Chris and Ash are going to have to leave soooon😅
@@Adeiamon nah chen shouldn't be dating her superior
What episode is this
I didn't understand what woof woof mean. Like what canine trainer?
K9
Where can you watch this
If I were to be a rookie coming in. I want Nolan to be my TO
Why, he hasn't been a cop that long at this point
surprise! ... except that was literally the only possible direction they could take
I sensed season finale villain again for like the 3rd time lol and I don't mind 😅
I going with crossover with rookie fed
Since Nolan could have used this 'golden ticket' on anything he should have used it to have that letter of reprimand removed from his record instead. That way he retained more options other than being stuck as a TO for the rest of his career (presumably).
Eventually he can't be a TO anymore because of his age.
He end up like Smitty 😂, only better
Episode?
Damn so this is what cayde 6 has been up to
so... Nolan's got his very own 3XK? cool lol
From being on serg Greys most hated to *knew it*
I thought he'd want to head up a task force to track down Rosalind
Haven’t watched this show in a couple years. Did it get better since like season 3?
It was never not good.
John Nolan aka TDK
Nolan has been a man who’s taken EVERY detour in his way
From the teen pregnancy disrupting his education to career
His divorce
Going from general contractor to cop
Being on reprimands that cost him a natural progression to detective
He could have been selfish to maintain or return his course on all above fronts but he’s continued on from each detour
This golden ticket to lock in his most recent detour defines him as selfless in his journey forward
I really love this movie
Still wish they do something with firefly
what is this episode
Like teacher like student, using the golden ticket to be a training offier, 😅; the parallel is uncanny, Harper doing the same
episode?
I want that woof woof 10 hrs video
K9 been my choice
he isnt going to be a very good detectives he has the experience for TO
Just a show. But what is Bayley doing there
Her acting agent got her More Time ?
I started this show with low expectations, especially since the best police drama show is Bosch. But it is definitely good, have some complaints ofcourse but I think they can be ignored . Actually I like this more than castle, Castle had far far far more flaws in the plot and I could barely watch the first episode of last season which was horrible. The middle seasons of this show has low ratings surprisingly which is odd since the plot is good, has fever plot holes and the characters are pretty interesting.
Should have went k9 or metro
I would've chose K9
Wuff wuff?
What ep was this
Season 5 ep 1
Gray went from being kinda annoying in the first couple episodes to their banter being the best thing about the show
Should’ve 100% been an ODST
Whats his golden ticket?
If Lucy’s boyfriend wasn’t in the apartment would her and Bradford had got caught by tamera
So does this mean that Nolan doesn't need to get his college degree, or did he already get it to be eligible to take the exam but the Union President forced him to be stationed at the border in this episode?
He already get it, if he didn’t have it he wouldn’t have been able to take the 2 year test. The reason he couldn’t take it was because the day of the test was on the day he was in the hole
If he has the golden ticket and chooses to be a TO, why would he even need to take the TO exam. I thought the golden ticket allowed you to get any job in the department that you wanted, within reason of course.
Pretty sure it's not a 'no requirements necessary' golden ticket. They still need to go through proper channels and training/assessments for whichever role he wanted. Likely just meant that he'd have the department's backing to prepare him, further training IF he had messed up somewhere in the exam and all.
I mean Nolan is already rich, soooo.
1:07
I don't know all the context, but is the chief okay with someone going under the radar killing people who "won't be missed"? What?
No...nobody's ok with that. But they can't get her right now...period. He knows that. But he also knows that means people are going to die.
I'll guarantee he hates it...but dwelling on it and gnashing teeth and wringing hands over it isn't going to accomplish anything but making him worse at his job.
It's not unlike Chess. You can't just pick up a piece and put it wherever you want to put the enemy King in Check. You make the moves you can make, until eventually you accomplish your goal. Today, Rosalind got her King out of Check. Now it's another game of moves until they get another shot at her. Blindly moving pieces all over in a vain effort to corner her would be counterproductive, and probably result in more deaths, not less.
The point of telling Nolan that she'll lay low and only kill those who "won't be missed" is an effort to get him to not beat himself up over it and wait for the opportune moment to take her down properly. Because anything else will just make matters worse, not better.
tbh i find this "decision" to be purely plot based and not character based at all. it was a poor short excusethat he wantsto bepart of the change.
he has shown both interest and talent in being detective and has shown that TO was a compromise since the other wasnt available.
we have not seen anything to show that the character has actually done tings to find the TO position attractive to him.
this was a clear plan B for the character but it became plan A due to plot and i find it annoying...
Your forgetting that this has been 2 years since he has made the decision. Plus this play to his biggest strength throughout the entire show, his life experience.
SPOILER ALERT: in a later episode, Rosalind Dyer was killed by a mysterious sniper. Good riddance as far as John Nolan was concerned.
The actress died for real. RIP Annie
I mean, isn't Nolan already filthy rich? He can do what he fells like without really worring about money.
Rich but filthy rich
Technically, he isn’t a rookie anymore, right?
No but he’s now a rookie T.O
Hasn’t been one since the 4th season premiere.
