Think of all the unfinished DIY projects there would be, only Nolan was capable of DIY

The show would not exist without him cause it’s about him

Lucy dead, Wesley dead ,Celina got bounced, no chenford

If tim and Lucy weren't close anymore though he probably wouldn't have told her to blow off steam with Caleb so she might've just gone home that day

Without Nolan, the show wouldn’t even had existed

Tim not dating lucy is unimaginable

With this alternate timeline one thing I would argue is because Nolan is the main character a lot of the major events he is involved in that are integral to the plot happen because of that fact. If he doesn't join the LAPD there is a good chance a lot might stay relatively the same or not just happen. One example would be the "green light" there is every possible chance that the events stay roughly the same with or without Nolan. The starting event was the dress ripping which would have most likely lead to the same chain of events no matter who the arresting officer is.

Great Vid! I think a cool idea for another “what if” would be

“What if The LAPD never found Lucy in the barrel?”

It’s dark, but interesting. How would Nolan cope with the loss of 2 fellow rookies, and we would see a vice versa reaction with Jackson! And how Tim is effected.

technically lucy wouldn’t of been buried because john saved rosalind from a gunshot and she would be dead before she could even get caleb to bury lucy or even plan it

Brudur, we never would have gotten The daddy cop nolan song. Its my fav

The events from Greenlight would have still happened, just with another officer.
The Southern Front leader's girlfriend would've still attacked the valet, leading to the next officer ripping her dress accidentally, and that officer being greenlit, resulting in Captain Andersen's death

6:53 I don’t think the LAPD would have went to Guatemala cuz Nolan was the one that found out they used a plane and not a car

there's a major plot point that you missed, which is Talia having to quit, which would result in Lucy getting Nyla as a T.O. this would in turn cause for her to never cross paths with Caleb and thus D.O.D. wouldnt have happened. Nyla and Lucy getting paired would also lead to Lucy softening up Nyla, so their relationship would end up exactly like Chenford as I could see both of them being bi. this would also lead up to the possibility of Lucy being Celina's T.O. and she would be just as soft on her as Nolan was, which would keep Celina on the show. with Nolan out of the picture Lucy would probably also be the one ending up saving Wesley at the start of S4 instead.

long story short, Lucy basically gets most of Nolan's plot points (minus Bailey and some other ones) and would have a relationship with Nyla which is incredibly similar to the one she has with Tim.

(edit: made a slight typo somewhere and corrected it)

edit #2: Nyla 100% wouldve been matched with Lucy as she used a golden ticket and specifically requested to be a TO, so Tim would not take over Talia as Lucy was the only rookie without a TO at that point in time. stop trying to argue about this in the replies.

Bailey would most likely be dead because "Hubby" Jason would have done something to her... and you didn't even touch on the "meaningful relationship" between Oscar and Nolan.

Video on TO and boot tier list

make a video about the the least appeared person in the show yet very important to the plot.
like Agent Graza

Ah, that would be the timeline where Nolan moves to New York to become a bestselling author, or captains a Firefly-class transport ship named *Serenity*, or becomes a superhero.

Lucy would not have died bc lucy had a diffrent TO so Tim would have not push lucy to go out with him

I would say John would be in phildiepla to do his construction company just so he could have a fresh start and rich people maybe?

Anyone watching this after the banger of Season 8 Episode 17?
