Brooklyn Nine Nine Season 5 Episode 5 Reddit

Okay, let's talk about a Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode. Specifically, Season 5, Episode 5. You know, "HalloVeen"?

Yes, the Halloween heist episode. Everyone loves these. They're usually brilliant.

But... unpopular opinion alert! I think "HalloVeen" is a little overrated.

Reddit's Hot Takes on "HalloVeen"

I dove headfirst into the Reddit threads after rewatching. You know, to see what the true fans were saying.

There's usually a lot of love for this one. People gushing about Jake's proposal to Amy. I get it, it's romantic!

But come on! Are we really gonna pretend it's the best heist episode ever?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed "HalloVeen." It's still Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It has funny moments.

The Doug Judy appearance? Gold! Hitchcock and Scully being clueless? Classic!

But the proposal thing just overshadows everything else. It feels a bit too... saccharine?

Plus, the whole triple-cross thing felt a little convoluted, even for a heist episode. It's almost too much.

Maybe I just have a soft spot for the earlier heists. Season 1 and 2 heists are peak Brooklyn Nine-Nine hilarity in my book.

Okay, I'll give credit where it's due. Jake's proposal was a genuinely sweet moment.

And Amy's reaction? Perfect! She's so happy and flustered. It's adorable.

The commitment to the bit, from everyone involved, is also impressive.

Captain Holt's reactions are always pure comedic genius. The deadpan delivery kills me.

And you gotta love how competitive they all are. It's all about the bragging rights!

I did find a few Reddit comments echoing my sentiments. A few people felt it was a little too focused on the romance.

Some mentioned that the plot was a bit hard to follow. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Others wished there was more focus on the actual heist and less on the relationship drama. Amen!

It's not that I dislike the relationship stuff. But sometimes, I just want pure, unadulterated heist shenanigans.

So, is "HalloVeen" a bad episode? Absolutely not! It's still a solid entry in the Brooklyn Nine-Nine canon.

But is it the best heist episode? I'm not convinced. I think it gets a little bit of a free pass because of the proposal.

Maybe I'm just a Grinch who hates love. Or maybe I just prefer my Brooklyn Nine-Nine with a slightly higher dose of absurd humor.

Either way, I'm ready for the inevitable backlash. Let me know what you think!

Am I completely off base? Or are there others out there who agree with my slightly-heretical take on "HalloVeen"?

Let's discuss! (Politely, please. I'm a sensitive soul.) Nine-Nine!
