The A story was a good follow up from the finale and was paced well. It was pretty consistent with the rest of the show.

The B story with Bradford and Chen bothered me a bit. Bradford had to transfer because he can't work with Chen but now they're apparently allowed to ride together on a whim. On top of that, they turned a crime scene into a guessing game and caused evidence to be washed down a drain with zero repercussions. I get that it's just a show, but how about a semblance of consistency?

The final destination style scene with Nolan at the hangar was a bit goofy but that's kind of the heart of this show.

It was sweet to see Thorson save the day.

We kick off Season 6 right where Season 5 ended. Masked vigilantes are targeting our beloved squad and now we get to see the rest of the plan in action with the white collar villains at the end of the episode.

The problem is, after a quick prologue of sorts that gives us some good ol' shoot 'em up action, we are hit with a "Six Weeks Later" card. And six weeks later? Nolan is happily planning his wedding, the drama of which surrounded an alleged "last shift" curse-a belief that something will go irrevocably wrong in the final shift before an important event. Lots of little mishaps occur, but nothing wild like Bailey dying or anything that matters.

Did Thorsen make it? Yep. He's totally fine and back at work, and it looks like he might date his appointed psychologist. After being near death in the finale, the resolution on Thorsen was disappointing.

More disappointing is the contrived drama between Bradford and Chen. The writers har decided that after finally putting them together, this season will deal with manufactured drama between the two, largely due to-of course-a failure to communicate at even a base level. Lucy's actions seemed pretty out of character. I dislike drama because the show runners decided we needed drama.

This was OK, but it was a pretty run-of-the-mill Rookie episode that doesn't live up to what preceded it and resolves too many plot threads too quickly and easily.

They had a great setup at the end of last season. They start off with a shootout and chaos, then go back a short time later? It was a mess; severely disappointing. Uncovering the Federal Reserve robbery by a missed checkin of 17 seconds is lazy writing. Then, to time job six weeks later! Lazy writing! How many storylines could have been told over that time? And then, what's his name, Iceman, comes in with a gigantic six-week old baby that was obviously a doll during most of the shots. The Captain even said the criminals had enough money to leave and never be found, so why does one hang around L. A? Why does the "leader" fly back into the country?

I watch this for Nathan Fillion but that is barely a reason to continue with nonsensical, lazy writing. Have Malcolm Reynolds wake up on Serenity and tell the crew he had a crazy dream that he was a cop on an Alliance planet, and then end the show.
