Did Olinsky Really Have to Go? A Deep Dive into Chicago PD Heartbreak
Spoiler Alert: If you haven't finished Season 5 of Chicago PD and you're the type of person who gets really upset about plot twists, maybe skip this post. We're about to spill some serious tea.
Okay, so let's talk about Alvin Olinsky. A legend, a mentor, a guy who could probably take down a bear with a spoon if he really wanted to. But did he really have to go?
The Olinsky Tragedy: A Breakdown
I mean, seriously, who thought this was a good idea? Olinsky was like the glue holding the Intelligence Unit together. He was the wise old head, the steady hand, and the guy who could cook up a mean chili. And then bam, he's stabbed in prison and dies. It's like the writers decided to throw a brick through a window when everyone was enjoying a perfectly good sunny day.
Now, I get it. TV shows need drama. They need to keep us on the edge of our seats. But did it really have to be Olinsky? Couldn't they have picked someone less lovable? I'm still not over it.
The Aftermath: Voight's Revenge and All That Jazz
Of course, Olinsky's death wasn't the end of the story. It was just the beginning of a whole new chapter of darkness and angst. Voight goes full-on Rambo, seeking revenge for his fallen comrade. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know it's going to be bad, but you can't look away.
The thing is, while the revenge plot was intense, it also felt a bit... excessive. I mean, we get it, Voight's mad. But did he really have to turn into a one-man army? It was a bit much, even for Chicago PD standards.
Moving On: Life After Olinsky
Let's be honest, Chicago PD hasn't been the same since Olinsky died. The show is definitely trying to find its footing without one of its core characters. But hey, that's life, right? Things change, people move on.
And who knows, maybe in a few seasons, we'll look back on this and think, "Wow, that was a really intense storyline." But for now, let's just take a moment to appreciate the legend that was Alvin Olinsky.
