I can't believe Jake missed the opportunity to land a Home Alone joke about Kevin.
I know I say this every week but THIS WAS THE GREATEST EPISODE OF ALL TIME
"Every time someone steps up and says who they are the world becomes a better, more interesting place, so thank you." <3<3<3
You seem nervous. Why?
Global warming. What a bitch, right? We all gonna drown.
rosa is bi and i'm happy
EVERYTHING. It's everything. My #1, probably forever. Thank you, Nine-Nine.
You called the pigs on us?
Rosa is the best.
Halloween episodes have always been extra fun in this show, but this one took the cake. Faster paced than the previous Halloween episodes, such a roller-coaster of an episode! And Jake focusing on Amy like that, instead of the yearly competition, was utterly adorable!

Touché for the writers and cast, amazing episode even before the ending. This show must go on indefinitely!
8=======D
Even when he doesn't appear on the show, he still manages to steal it. Pimento rocks!
i can't beLIEVE JAKE AND ROSA ARE GOING TO PR*SON shes gonna survive BUT HE'S GONNA DIE
Ok, Jake and Rosa going to prison but can we talk about Terry's "extra-curricular" activities the hackers uncovered?
Awwww. I love how much they all love Holt.
I don't think many people realize how important this episode, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine in general, are. The show's talked about many issues, and I think it's very important that this episode focused on white supremacy and police brutality towards the black community. I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I think it's one of the most underrated sitcoms of this generation. More people should focus on this show. Please do not get it cancelled.
VINDICATION !!!
Ha ha ha ha
An absolutely amazing finale, I love this show a lot and this was a well-rounded, funny yet exciting and interesting new episode.
Rosa and her yoga, Bob and Captain Holt, and Gina's "Watch me walk away". Great episode! Love the plot twist!
rosa and pimento flirting 10/10
Neily! Best cameo on this show by far.
That was kind of terrible Swedish but hilarious anyway.
Neil deGrasse Tyson, guys! OMG!
Gina's entrance 10/10
and I definitely want to see more Amy/Rosa scenes
"Tell my wife that I love her... work ethic." Loved Bill Hader as Captain!
"I never thought I`d see you this high without a broom under you" made my day.
"i'm proud of you" that was very emotional
Amy: Writing things down is nerdy? What do you do?
Rosa: Just forget stuff like a cool person.
Three words: I. LOVED. IT.
Listen, I'm a simple bitch, okay? Let's establish that right out of the gate. I can make fun of tropes all day long (especially the romantic ones) but in the end, I will eat that shit right up and walk out of the theater with the biggest grin on my face. Arthur and Mera accidentally hold hands and suddenly I turn into your 80-year-old grandma Gladys clutching her pearls and going "oh my". Jason Momoa and Amber Heard are DCEU's new dynamite duo (as much as I love Gal Gadot and Chris Pine, they've been knocked off the top spot for me). Their chemistry makes my skin tingle. Was the romance cliche? Hell yeah it was! And I adored every second of it!
Of course some stuff besides the romance also happens (but who cares about that? Not Gladys, that's for sure). The main plotline of finding the Trident does feel kinda like a treasure hunt with Arthur and Mera hopping from place to place, but because their chemistry and dynamic is just THAT good, it's all very fun and watchable. The villain is... well, he certainly is, eh? Actually there's two of them, but neither really made me feel anything. Still better than Steppenwolf, I guess? Although that's not saying much. The jokes hit more often than they miss and the movie did get a few good laughs out of me. But the more serious moments hit home for me as well, whether it's Arthur's reunion with his mother or his admission that he knows he doesn't deserve the Trident but it's his only hope of saving the people he loves. The tone feels pretty consistent and the transitions between the dramatic and comedic moments don't seem as jarring as in some other DCEU installments. The fight scenes are awesome. Especially the one in Sicily really made me feel pumped.
My favorite scene was by far Mera really experiencing the life on land for the first time. Her wide-eyed wonder (no pun intended, I guess) not only reminded me of Diana arriving in London, but it also had something wonderfully Little Mermaid-like (and not just because of the hair) about it. It was soft. It was pure. It made me feel warm inside. Mera eating the roses and Arthur immediately doing the same? Nobody's ever gonna ride for me this hard. Those are the kind of scenes that ground these huge superhero movies, that make them feel relatable to me and allow me to take a breath and really connect with the characters. And when 20 minutes later Mera goes full Bad Bitch In Charge on those soldiers and kills them with deadly wine spikes? Oh, I just about lost my mind. I want her to murder me. But aside from that entire sequence, there were plenty of other moments that really got my attention: little Arthur at the aquarium, Arthur and Mera's escape from Atlantis (such a fun chase!), our favorite power couple emerging from the ocean looking like they're on Baywatch (it was great, don't @ me), every time Mera used her powers (the glowing eyes!), the list goes on.
The visuals are absolutely stunning. Gone are the dreary grays of some lesser DCEU movies. Instead we get beautiful colors (Atlantis is beyond gorgeous), some great shots (Arthur and Mera swimming with the flare while surrounded by thousands of Trench people is breathtaking) and of course incredible CGI. It's a very aesthetically pleasing movie. And the music! I loved the music. This is one of the soundtracks I'm definitely gonna need to listen to at some point. And it takes some big balls to put a cover of Toto's Africa in your movie. I appreciate that. Some people are definitely gonna cringe when they hear it, but I had the biggest grin on my face.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable ride. It's quite long, but it didn't drag. I was invested in Arthur's journey. I thought the casting was perfect (and gosh darn do Jason Momoa and Amber Heard look good together! That has to be one of the most visually stunning pairings to have ever graced the big screen). And I just... felt super happy afterwards. I still can't stop smiling. It's a good movie not just by DCEU standards, but in general. I'd love to see it again and I'll definitely try to do so over the holidays. I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I did. What a great surprise.
