Hahahahahaha! Gossip Girl season 5 bloopers.

lol Ed: "You sound like Margaret Thatcher."

lol Robert John Burke. I'm pretty sure Bart Bass disappeared for several years in order to more fully develop his career as an internal investigations officer in Law and Order: SVU. IT'S TRUE!

RJB is also in the army! Yes, he's a General - specifically General Kevin Clark on Army Wives :) BART DIDN'T DIE! HE CHANGED HIS NAME AND JOINED THE ARMY. AND OF COURSE IS A SUPER OVER ACHIEVER AND HAS ALREADY EARNED THE RANK OF GENERAL.

Hahahahaha! BART AND HIS MANY LIVES!

Or... he's an alien! With many dopplegangers!

You watched some Rookie Blue!

The whole Sam flipping a switch thing was a little bit of fear and a lot of survivor's guilt over Jerry. Because originally Jerry told Sam and Andy to check out the cabbie and Andy was so insistent that it was the bartender Sam convinced Jerry to let them talk to the bartender instead. And then the whole "I can't listen to a rookie instead of myself" or whatever line. The moment didn't shock me, but I wasn't happy with it, either.

And yes, the Nick and Andy and the break up book was awesome. =)

And the aftermath of Jerry's death was awful and uncomfortable, and glad the character got the send off he deserved, right?

I always assumed the fifth Oliver mentioned was Frank. Luke's always seemed between the "Old guard" and the Rookies to me.

Also? Your head cannon about Oliver and Noelle has also become mine. You got that right, I am sure of it. 100%

Oh god, that moment when he was all "I can't listen to a rookie instead of myself!" I was so ANNOYED with him in that moment. Like... then DON'T listen to her, Sam. No one has a gun to your head! FFS. I know the point was that he was wrongly taking out his frustration on her when she was not to blame. But gahhh. One of my pet peeves is when people insist they MUST do things as if the other person is forcing them, when it's really just that they're being too weak willed to just own it and do it themselves. Plus, it's easier to blame someone else when it goes wrong.

Just... DON'T DO THAT, SAM! >:(

Yeah, it has to be Frank or Luke, but I can't decide. Frank is much more inside of the group, but Sam and Luke seem to have such history, and didn't Sam mention he and Luke were at the academy together once? Or am I just pulling something out of fanfic and mistaking it for canon?

I don't think he was justified, but I get the freak out and desire to push people away bit. What really pissed me off about Sam is that he seemed to think he could smile, work the dimples, and be charming (for him, anyway), and that Andy would just fall back into his arms when he was ready for her to. I'm glad she didn't.

I still think Frank... but maybe that's just my head cannon. I think Luke could have been at the academy at the same time, but wasn't sent to the same division, he just got moved there later. But I think I'll have to find the ep where they were doing the training shit to see what was said...

I've been rewatching season 1, out of order, tho. The first time I wasn't the biggest Luke fan, although I didn't hate him. This time I like him much more.

JERRRYYYYYYY :( :( :( EPIC SADFACE FOREVER. I have seriously never cried so much at a fictional character's death, it was embarrassing.

He did get a good send-off, even though I didn't think they needed to kill him at all! But I guess if they had to kill someone, he was the best choice. Except for Tracy, he didn't have much to do. BUT STILL. JERRRRYYY!
