I don't understand why Malloy was so nasty to Reed. I mean it's Reeds first day and Malloy treats him like he's stupid. Especially with questions like "Hi remember me? We met at roll call, you think you could follow me to the car"? I just think it was uncalled for.
shareWell some of his behavior was a little off but the fact that they met at roll call and here's Reed standing around not following him to the car, well why shouldn't he be a bit annoyed?
They weren't together at roll call. They met after that.Reed was waiting for Malloy outside where the patrol cars are parked. That's when Malloy said about can he follow him to the car? I just thought it wasn't very nice to say. He mellowed out a little bit after that though.
shareThink You're wrong.
Remember Malloy asked "Didn't we meet at roll call?"
Reed says "Yes sir."
Maybe I am wrong but either way, Malloy wasn't pleasant! Lol. Last night I watched "Log 33" where Reed shoots and kills the 16 year old kid. One of my favorite episodes from the earlier seasons.
shareAnd what does log 33 have to do with the pilot?
shareIt doesn't have anything to do with the pilot. I was just saying that I watched another episode which happens to be a favorite of mine that's all. I guess I should have started with, "oh by the way" so people would understand that I was talking about a different episode?
shareYou are being a little unfair. shot several months earlier, the pilot was very different from the show. Malloy was bitter and ready to quit the force after his partner was killed. Dealing with rookie Reed was the last thing he wanted. The voices were sped up to sound like Jack Webb. By the time R.A. Cinader took over production duties from Webb, it was a much different and better show.
shareHe was still upset over the loss of his partner and veteran cops usually haze rookie officers. If the rookie can't take a little hazing from another officer, what will they do when the general public, who hates the police, going to do?
