No scene in this episode ever feels like it’s outstaying its welcome. That’s why it’s so noticeable when an episode is slower or has pacing issues: This cast (and the writers) can very clearly do so much more. In fact, it truly capitalizes on its actors’ abilities to handle a rapid fire approach to comedy. There is a lot of ground to cover and a lot to focus on, but “99” manages to squeeze it all in without ever feeling bloated. Also in true Brooklyn Nine-Nine fashion, most of this chaos is the result of them trying to help each other out. It has Die Hard-obsessed Jake (naturally) it has some Jake/Holt father-son goodness it has Amy trying to prove she’s chill it has Boyle being Rosa’s bestie (as annoying as that be) it has Terry looking for some semblance of normalcy it has Scully being an unknowing pawn and of course it has Hitchcock being the worst.
