'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' season 6 episode 2: Fans are treated with major throwback to the Scully and Hitchcock of the 80s

The second episode of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' season six gives us an insight into why Hitchcock and Scully still happen to be such an integral part of the precinct and the show.

If there's one thing 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' has always aced it's the classic throwback the show offers every now and then into the past of somewhat significantly older characters. While most of the time it has been the able Captain Raymond Holt's (Andre Braugher) incredibly meritorious and glorious arrests and personal struggles against the police department's internalized racism and homophobia (Holt is a black, gay man) with the sixth season and a new home at NBC, the show has finally deviated from the character and shown the ultimate badass side to some of the most unexpected side-characters - Hitchcock and Scully.

In a manner of speaking, the second episode of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' season six offers all the insight viewers and ardent fans of the show needed to understand just how two of the most incompetent complacent, and clueless detectives in the New York Police Department still happen to be such an integral part of the show which thrives on its representation in terms of wholesome badass characters.
