A review of tonight’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine two-parter coming up just as soon as I win you over with my use of “twas”…
“The Fugitive” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/51595-s04e11-the-fugitive-1-s04e12-the-fugitive-2/?do=getLastComment) will be the last we see of Brooklyn until sometime this spring — give or take a new series tanking so badly that Fox needs to replace it immediately — and while it’s a bummer the show is going away right as it’s in the midst of one of its funniest stretches ever, I’m glad it goes out on as a high a note as these two episodes.
And one of the smartest decisions made here was to treat these as two completely distinct episodes, only vaguely connected by the manhunt. It’s not impossible to make a great hour-long sitcom episode, but it’s a lot harder to have jokes continue for that long, and instead we get two wonderful, mostly standalone half-hours that play well together or apart.
