Angry girl comes in not trying to figure it out, just trying to blame people.

It was such a weak, annoying plot.

They toss in time travel and whiny girl becomes even more annoying.

She's not thinking, just angry with Lucifer. That's not a story, that's just a mess - a girl who needs lots of therapy. It would be one thing if she's trying to solve the mystery, but no, she just wants to be angry.

It was a plot to distract and slow the progress of the overall plot.

Yes, some plots are far more annoying and dreary than they are entertaining, and this was a perfect example.

I didn't find this plot enjoyable at all.

There were some VERY cool cars throughout this season. There were some heartfelt stories to go with them. Each episode should have been 30 min, not 60 as there was a lot of filler. The guest stars were underused.

And the way they added a car and made them change their design to incorporate part of their chosen car diminished their designs more than added to them.

Then it came to the finale, and from what I've seen many agree that the car that won wasn't near the ambition nor originality of several other designs. (That's why they say she won - "ambition and originality".

Truly a disappointing ending. It was the car that had the least.

This episode could have been so much better, because the real material had so much more in it.

They touch on the government taking land and charging farmers. You pay for that when you buy your meat.

They don't touch on how some of these matters went to court - and blew up on the FBI when the FBI was caught lying in court. It would have been awesome to stick to the real story. Instead they twisted it and turned it into propaganda against the ranchers when reality was the opposite.

Then you have the subplot where a government agent used her skills to gather a bunch of info on someone and send it to his friends, resulting in a suicide. All kinds of wrong there - especially if she did any of it on work hours.

Yes, the writing is quickly degrading on this series. Sad.

Yes, a man is asleep in bed and got assaulted.

And the FBI goes along with it?

Oh, and they started by giving him a political party and making him ignorant.

That was total self defense, especially when someone pulled a gun on him.

This episode was so bizarre, so awful... I'll admit I haven't finished it, but this starts out showing the politics of the show and how the FBI doesn't investigate properly.

The politics of the show are so weak it distracts from the quality and content of the show. It's really sad, because the FBI and Law/Order franchises used to be good but they are getting more and more blatant in their biases.

I tried. I love a good mystery show, but this is not that.

The writers have zero knowledge of police work and rely on bad info about tasers. For example, if someone is pointing a weapon at your partner, don't taze them - they just tense and fire and you killed your partner. It really is that poorly done.

If you point your gun at someone, make sure your partner isn't behind them. If you fire, your gun, you're just as likely to hit your partner with a slight miss or if the bullet goes through.

Yes, this show really misses common sense points like this.

Oh, and if you're almost killed by a bunch of fantasy white supremacists and you have no way of reporting them, get away, don't ride along because poor writing is the only way you'll be saved when you jump out and threaten them.

This show is ridiculous on so many levels. And so much focus on damaged people who aren't getting mental help while in positions of trust that demand competence... Again, they focus on the pain instead of the fixing or healing.

And that doesn't even touch on the head of their unit and how poor the acting is, all the anger and inappropriate comments she makes indicating her bias. She'd be dealing with HR on a daily basis with that kind of attitude.

I tried, but this show is a hot mess fantasy. Unenjoyable. Depressing. And ignorant of how these matters work in reality.

When you fire a taser at someone, they tense up, meaning if they are holding a gun they will most likely pull the trigger at what they are aiming at, which is why they are not a good idea in many cases. That's just one example of how ineffective they are.

There are written tests to become a cop, let alone a special investigator.

Shows where the writers don't know the basics like that become silly and often painful to watch. It's sad when what could be a good show lacks.

One of the first things police do in an investigation is get warrants and secure evidence and crime scenes, especially while someone is unconscious in the hospital.

It felt like it was done by someone who comments on news message boards about what they would do, but completely lacks basic information about police work or the weapons they are using.

It's shows like this that lead to misinformation and have people believing the silliest things about weapons.

One parent out of many... It's not argued. It's not about facts. It's about a lady making specific allegations and the family runs instead of addressing them.

Problems with the video (maybe that was addressed and I missed it.)

It was people asking questions, and she thought a death certificate would help?

Then they made the kids adopted...

Then a murder is committed and it's revealed they are lying to police and the courts...

Ironic that the episode is about lies, in the end, while claiming to be about facts and truth. It takes what could have been a great story and turns it into an ironic mess. Sad.

It's fun proving deceivers wrong, but this didn't do that. Sad.

Sometimes a show introduces a character for a new show. This was one of those episodes and it was a horror show.

The new character was unlikable - against so many people. And of course no one listened so she could seem tough.

And of course no one else knew anything (despite 4 years of good police work). Nope, it was all up to her.

It was so bad it was annoying.

And her character was all about diversity, which was in your face a lot of the time.

This was a black mark on the Rookie in every way. There was nothing enjoyable about it.

It was all about her.

Please keep her away from this great show!

If there were no punches and they went straight to mind games, we'd have a movie.

Instead punchy jumps in, against someone who defeated Ultron, the secret group, an army (in WandaVision and here) ... punchy. No joke. And suddenly Wanda struggles?

They were trying to make punchy seem powerful instead of smart.

Politics over story = weakened story.

The beginning wants to appear smart...but let's be honest...it's a poor system that allows someone so clearly innocent to be convicted and shipped off before a review of the evidence.

Then you have the break out. If those dolts could get out so easily, it's not something that has evolved with experience and intelligence, it's something put together by a poor writer.

The plot is "one wrong is worse than the other so vile murdering criminals are entertaining" when no, dreary criminals are not entertaining and I was very disappointed that they weren't taken down. They were criminals because they are vile people, threats to society, and were in no way enjoyable to watch.

I found nothing redeeming or entertaining in this show.

1) The verdict is the value place on someone's life. That was extremely insulting to the mother...an awful compromise. 2) The verdict does exactly what Bull and Chunk were trying to avoid. Yet they said it was good and had no concern?

It's like they don't understand the first half of the show at all.

Was it supposed to be feel good? Emotional? Because wow, that ending was awful in multiple ways and only works if they come back and revisit it later in the season. Otherwise it's just poor writing.
