Pro is an amazing name!
Even when an episode has recycled and telegraphed sitcom plots, the acting makes everything great from start to end.

I exploded with laughter when Holt had it both ways with Wunch. I love how childish he is around her.

It looks like Charles wrote "No Spoilers" before "no Red Wedding". This wall tells a fantastic story.

Yeah, I want to agree with this. As soon as they set up the "eight days is too long for a stakeout" thing, the whole plot of the episode was obvious, but it was still fun off the raw energy of the characters. Also, the side plots were fun, Diaz and Holt's interactions are always great since they're both so awkward when things get personal, and a callback to Terry's drawing skills was funny.

My favourite callback joke on the wall is Charles writing "no DERICK!"

I ususally rewind an episode of B99 at least a few times to rewatch jokes and I never, ever do that with any other show.

Like his burning the skecthpad thing is one of the funniest bits I've ever seen, and it's literally two seconds long

You can't teach the kind of timing and delivery he has. That means he's just had unbelivable comic chops chilling in his back pocket the whole time he was becoming an extremely respected dramatic actor.

Man, I was gonna come in here and ask for this, so thanks. The other plots this episode didn't do a lot for me, but Holt/Diaz was more than enough to keep me entertained. Nick Cannon's character was extremely nothing for what has to be a recurring character, but who cares, all hail Braugher, forever and ever.

It gets to a point where the cast/characters are interesting enough that the plots aren't really that important. Some people get weireded out by that, but it's okay.

"....but who will tell him that?" got the biggest laugh out of me. Apart from him handing Rosa her bra in a paper bag. That was one of the best things I've ever seen; the hesitation, staring at Rosa waiting for a response..everything about it was just perfect.
