Skyfire Cycle might be my favourite episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine

-the venom with which Gina says "afternoon eggs"

-Jake and Terry dressed as fantasy characters

-Holt leaving Kevin a snide message about "kindergarten statistics"

-the Boyles are "burrowers"

-Jake pantsed five members of the knicks (and coaches)

-"Grave, singular?!"

-Terry rips an 800 page book in half

-the combination of Gina's personality and the collective weirdness of the Boyles

-Terry turning out to be a big nerd

Oh, and

OTHER NOTES:

“Little Terry got emotionally healthy.”

“There are already enough girl characters, we don’t need a third!” WENT FOR IT. Though, one should watch one’s own ratio of female:male characters, because it ain’t all that impressive itself. Regardless, the call-out stands. 

“Halitosis Frodo”

A beige of pigs.

Points for open acknowledgment of sexual activity between middle-aged gay men. Being queer ain’t just a state of mind.

I love what a rounded individual you are, Terry. Terry is everyone’s hero.

The Boyle bullpen bottle bowling cold open reminds me of the cold open in “Skyfire Cycle” where Jake slides across the full bullpen crashing into Holt in the elevator.
