This same process is why u stop watching cop/detective dramas as soon as a protagonist gets kidnapped.

  1. This happens 100% of the time, usually 3 season in
  2. You know they’ve gone from procedural to full on drama at this point
  3. The quality always drops off a cliff here

Castle, Bones, Law & Order SVU, The Rookie (though it still has good episodes, the protagonists get kidnapped a lot tho), NCIS, Criminal Minds (again, multiple times), Hawaii 5 0 refresh, CSI, Monk…

...this is making me realize that I watch very few procedural detective shows, apparently. I think SVU is the only one of these I've seen, at all.

I read it as SUV.

And now I imagine a detective show in the Cars universe.

Title character being a grumpy SUV detective with a Keicar as the comedic sidekick

Yeah, but you know shit’s about to get real when he summons all the characters into the drawing room.

I don't think that's fair as Captain Cold was never a credible threat to a speedster in the first place

I see this in politics and everyday acquaintances all the time. When the turf you've been fighting over gets attacked by a mutual significant foe, some hostilities get paused.

Why did they posted a picture of Team Rocket? Does Pokémon actually have more villains?

Giovanni is the big bad in the early seasons iirc. No clue how the show progressed past that though but there was always a more serious organization looming (ie Team Aqua and Magma, Mewtwo in the movie are the only ones I can think of right now...)

idk for more recent seasons, but i know the xyz and sun & moon arcs had more serious villains (especially xyz)
