Review of Rat Bastard

Written by cubtat2

After a week off, Third Watch is back! Wheee! I don't know about anyone else, but I was having withdrawals. But I did order a Third Watch T-shirt. Ya for me!!

Now, on with "Rat Bastard".

I like how they kind of played it backwards, beginning with "9:55 PM".

Monroe's in a pretty tight situation. No partner, no backup, no gun, and the perp beating her. Wait, she's working with Finney? Where is Finney? Oh, damnity. Unconscious. Not good.

"This what you're looking for, bitch?" Damn.

Poor Ty. He's gonna have to tell somebody. He's got a lot of conflicting emotions. *hugs Ty* Poor kid.

Ty's mission on finding the truth about his father's death is starting to crumble. Raymond Morris is dead, he hasn't talked to Sully. Ty, my dear, talk to the man. It looks like he's the only one you got left.

"What's wrong with you?" She knows she's gonna be outed by Ty any second now.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Oooh. "They sent you back here?" Ooohooooh.

"Don't do this, Ty." NO, DO IT! I'll pay you a dollar. Go on, do it!

PAPASWERSKY! *grin* I love him.

"I got called down to IAB yesterday, had a little chat with Captain Finney. All of a sudden, our little community-oriented, holier-than-thou Detective Monroe walks in yelling to Finney about her cover being blown. Her IAB cover."

SWEET! *does a "Ty rules" dance*

"The whole time you were riding with me, you were working for the rat squad?" Boy, can't slip anything past him. (Sarcasm alert!). LOL @ "rat squad".

"Ok, everyone out. Monroe, you stay right here." Oooh, Sweresky's gonna yell. Wheee!!

"You filthy rat bitch." SQUEEEEE! I love him. A lot. But I have to admit, he was pissed. I didn't get all warm and fuzzy inside. But I still love him anyway.

"You have a good day." Wheeeheeeee!! *does the "Ty rules" dance* JELLY!! *smile*. . .Uh, oh. . .Faith found out. Not good. Not at all. I wanted to see her kick her butt, though. Ah, we can't always get what we want. That's OK. She's still plenty ticked.

"Hey Sully, you call me as soon as she hits the streets." I love Faith. Faith rules. Faith's gonna give RatMonroe hell. Wheeee!!

She took the IAB job for a "very important reason"? Huh? I'd like to know what the reason is.

"Spare me the nobility. You need to transfer out of here immediately." Wheeee!! *hugs*. I love PapaSwersky.

"She WAS my girl, man." I love Ty, even though he's SadGrumpyUpsetPissedTy. Where, oh where did SuperTy go??

"No, I'm asking you something and you're not answering. Did you know?" Ooooh, damnity.

"You're at the desk until I can get you the hell out of my precinct." Saaaaqueeeee!!

"NO ONE is gonna ride with you." Yes! I love my PapaSwersky, even when he's pissed.

"Davis, you're with Sullivan." HUH?!?! Did I hear that right??? My. . .my. . .boys are back together??!?! I won't believe it until I see it.

"There goes a match made in heaven." *gigglesnort*

"Like me and you are any better." YES, YES YOU ARE! Five-Five Charlie rules all, even if you two aren't on such good terms.

WALSH! STU!! DK!! *hugs* I miss the bucket boys. Holy crap, Corbin Bernsen looks old. Maybe I still remember him from "LA Law" and the "Major League" movies, but he does look old.

"We call him 'A lot of Z's'" *snicker* I miss Walsh. *sigh*

Finney and Monroe talking about PapaFinney and IAB. . .blah blah blah. . .OOOOH! THERE'S FAITH!! Squeee!!

"You come to my promotion ceremony. You ask me how my divorce is going. How about when you take me out for Italian, huh?" Squee upon squee. *Does the "Faith Rocks" dance*

"You're my 'friend'?" Wheeee!! Faith rules. That is all. . .Wheeeeee!!

"I'm going to tell you something, Monroe. Transfer. To far away." YES! I love Faith. She rules. Oh, did I already say that? Well, it's worth repeating.

TY!! SULLY!! TY!! TY AND SULLY IN THE SAME RMP! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! My boys are back! Wheeeeeeeee! *faints* THEY ARE BACK! THEY ARE BACK! *happy dances*

"What made you change your mind?"

"The same thing that made me keep my mouth shut when I figured out C.T. Finney killed your old man. You." Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! I love that man. I love Five-Five Charlie. I must hug them. *group hug* Oh, how I have missed them. Squeeeeee!!

"You need to leave it alone man. Just. . ."

"What, after all the crap you've given me?"

Wheeeeeee! I know it's not the kind of Sully/Ty banter that makes you giggle, but it's soooo nice to see them having a civilized conversation.

WATCH OUT FOR THE VAN! Oooh, damn. "Hit the lights." *giggle* That line reminds me of the episode "Sunny, Like Sunshine", when they are singing "Leroy Brown". Oh, those were good times. *sigh*

Oh, his daughter's been shot. Damnity.

Hi Carlos. Hi Grace. Hi Cruz. Everybody's in the episode, wow.

"So, what he'd look like, other than being a son of a bitch." *snicker*

Oooh, there's RatMonroe. Uh-oh. GET HER CRUZ! "And I will KICK YOUR ASS." Hmmm. . .I'd say she's more than a little pissed.

So this McKinley guy is dead. How much you wanna bet this was the work of PapaFinney?

More Stu/Bernsen stuff. Boring. Zzzzzzz. Man, this has to be the worst excuse I've ever seen to get the bucket boys air time.

SULLY! TY! STANDING SIDE BY SIDE! Yaaaaa! This just keeps getting better and better. I love them.

"So you call me dirty, accuse me of being in on your father's murder and when I offer to help you say no way." Ty, my darling, let him help. Before I kick you in the behind.

"So now you're looking out for me?"

"Guess so."

Squeeeeeee!!! And I love that smirk on Sully's face. Ty let him in, even if it's just a tad. Wheeeee! *group hug*

Yep. McKinley was killed with a police bullet. This was the work of PapaFinney. He's gonna haveta pay. One way or another.

Even though this fire story is boring, I love seeing DK and Walsh. Even Stu. I miss seeing the bucket boys.

This guy's story isn't adding up. First he said he was flagged down, then he said he was stopped. Hmmmm. Something isn't right. Oh, so he had a company car after he was fired. Things REALLY aren't adding up now. And the wife is throwing drugs in the toilet. Whoopsie.

OxyContin, drug dealing, not trusting, shooting the daughter. Heh.

"We don't need your help." Daymn. Go Cruz. "Your job or IAB's?" lmao. . .wheeee!!

Ooooh, there's a rat hanging from Monroe's locker!! I wonder who put it there. My money is on Ty, because he was giving her a sideways look as he was leaving role call.

"Get out of my way." YES! Ty rules.

More boring bucket boys stuff. Look, I like it when they get airtime, but come on. This is so lame. Ugh.

Monroe may be a tough cop, but come on, don't go in there alone. She should have made sure that Finney was right behind her. And Finney is knocked out cold. Things aren't looking good for Ms. Rat.

Let Monroe's ass kicking begin. You know, I would have kicked the perp in the balls. But, that's just me. Yeesh.

Typical rat response. Nobody answering her 10-13. Duh. I bet Finney has a pretty bad headache.

"Your call." Wheeeee!! FFC does the right thing.

Oooh, right in the nose with the radio. Ow.

Sully and Davis don't care. I don't blame them. Laaa daaa dee, laaa dee daaa. *snicker*

I haveta sort of agree with Sully and Davis' leaving Monroe. She got what was coming to her because she was IAB.

"Man, what the hell happened to you?"

"Sasha Monroe." Wheeee! But I want SuperTy back. *pouts*

LEVINE! Wheeeeee! I like Levine, even if she only gets a couple lines this evening.

"Finney, why don't you go wait by your squad." *snicker* Faith rules. That is all.

"Now this IAB guy is dead, this is C.T. Finney. He's out of control." Yep, yep. Told ya it was PapaFinney's work. Aha! Love it when I'm right. Wait a minute! I know that look. Papa Bear's thinking. Thinking of doing more to help Ty.

Ooooooh. . .Whhhhhy do they have to go on a sabbatical until January?!?! Huh??? Huh?? I want my Third Watch. *pouts* Man. I can't believe that 10 episodes have gone by already! Gah!

Shameless self-promotion time. If someone has read or is reading my reviews, feel free to drop me a line (click on my name and you'll find the link). I would really like to know that these reviews aren't being done in vain. Don't get me wrong, I love doing them, it's just sometimes I wonder if anybody is taking the time to read them, that's all. So please, if you are, let me know.

That does it for me until January with new episodes. I have seven tapes from seasons 2-5, so who knows, you may get lucky and see a cubtat2 review between now and January. Depending on how you celebrate, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and a Happy New Year. I'll see ya in 2005!
