SailorFini's Media Reflection Blog

I've talked about Brooklyn 99 before on this blog, but I haven't yet talked about the pilot episode of the series. The pilot episode of a show is one the most important episodes, it's meant to set up the show and get viewers interested and the pilot for Brooklyn 99 does exactly that (it's what made me want to watch the rest of the show so clearly it did a good job). The episode was mainly structured to set up for the rest of the series.

So if I were to be explaining to a first timer, I would probably say: A boy and his dog go on wacky adventures, which lead to relationships, sad scenes, loss of limbs and deep plotline. Seeing where the series is now, it's best to start with episode 1, rather than whatever episode is curren...
