Halstead: The Great Escape
So, Jay Halstead decided to ditch the Windy City for the Bolivian jungle. A bold move, we must admit. It's like trading pizza for pan-fried guinea pig. But hey, who are we to judge a man’s mid-life crisis? Let's break down this dramatic exit.
How Did They Write Halstead Out Of Chicago Pd |
The Plot Thickens (Or Thins?)
Remember that episode where Halstead accidentally turns into a one-man stabbing machine? Yeah, that one. It was as subtle as a brick to the face. We’re pretty sure the writers were playing a drinking game and accidentally wrote a whole episode. But hey, credit where credit's due, it was a pretty intense way to say goodbye.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
Bolivia: The New Chicago?
Now, let’s talk about this whole Bolivia thing. Is it a retirement plan, a character development arc, or just a really expensive vacation? We're leaning towards the latter. Imagine Halstead, trading in his tactical gear for cargo shorts and a Panama hat, sipping on questionable cocktails while negotiating with drug cartels. Sounds like a spin-off waiting to happen.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
The Upstead Fallout
We can't ignore the elephant in the room. Halstead leaving Upton is like taking away pizza from a Chicagoan. Harsh. But hey, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. Upton can finally focus on her career without worrying about whether her husband will come home covered in mysterious substances.
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
So, How Did They Really Do It?
Let's be honest, the whole thing was a bit rushed. It was like the writers realized they needed to get rid of Halstead and just threw a dart at a map. But hey, TV is all about drama, and this certainly was that.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
