i'm still continually surprised when this show really goes off the typical sitcom route and throw us something new. so now we have a big "villain" for the season that will lead to the finale with something crazy going on. i'm all for that!
agree in general with more Amy and Rosa stories.

Yeah I don’t like that Rosa seemed to get lumped in with Hitchcock and Scully now. There’s more to Rosa than just tossed out punchlines!
I did like that the moral of Amy’s story was that “Amys” are actually good, and our Amy is actually good. On a network sitcom a sweet wholesome takeaway like that isn’t guaranteed. They more prefer to pick on “nerds” as inscrutable trouble makers. Also I like that on her way out of the nest, Amy finally got that validation from Holt that she’s been needing this whole time. Because it’s not out there in the world if you’re an Amy. (I am also “an Amy”).
Also I like that they made Amy a patrol Sargent and I hope that this opens up the plot lines more. I feel like Jake spends all his time running after whoever he personally feels like taking down; it would be nice if the show grounded itself a little more.
