Rookie Blue:3.01 "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life"

I thought the premiere episode was well worth the LOOOONG wait!

* Andy skydiving....Huge kudos to Missy given the fact that she's scared of heights and did it anyway!

*Brooding Sam is still funny!

* Sam holding the sign "Dummy" at the airport with that very stoic look on his face made me laugh out loud! And the fact that he never took his sunglasses off the entire time made it even better!

* Sam referring to Nash and Epstein as "NashStein" was hysterical!

* Loved how calm and soothing he was with the woman in the car, and how he got her to calm down when she thought her son was missing. Great scene!

*William Shatner--AWESOME!

* I constantly flip flop on whether I love or hate Gail on a given episode.  This time it was half and half. I've never totally warmed up to her character and I can't decide if she loves or hates Andy which leaves me conflicted even more!

* Noelle, I heart you!

* Frank seemed like he was in a bad mood the entire episode except for when he was talking to Noelle in the hallway.

* OLIVER!!!!! I just ADORE OLIVER! We didn't see enough of him in the premiere! :-(

* Would have like to have seen where Traci and Jerry stood.  More interaction with them would have been nice.

*Interesting that Luke wasn't in the premiere.  I guess since and Andy are done, that he will be around less now.

* I like Nick so far!

* I LOVE Sam in that red shirt!

* The ending was great!  Loved how Sam and Andy just sat on the couch staring at the end, like, "Okay, now what do we do?" Both of them looked sorta nervous, but the sweet kiss to close out the show was PERFECT! I REALLY hope the show gives them a REAL shot and doesn't break them up by the end of the season, because honestly, that's what everyone is expecting (myself included) and I'd like to be wrong where this is concerned.

I'm ready to see what the season has in store! No doubt, it'll be heck of a ride, but I'm READY for it! :-)
