Ponderings on the characters in Blue Bloods
September will bring the 10th anniversary of Jamie and Eddie’s first meeting; during July, as part of the build-up to this significant milestone, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on some of the early episodes. Of course, I’m starting with a season 4 episode… Danny and Baez investigate a local bombing, but meet with tension and... Continue Reading →
An attempt at an episode guide focused on Jamie and Eddie's appearances. I've tried to keep it as non-spoilery as possible; the first section only highlights how many scenes they appear in individually and together, so it's easy to pick an episode when your priority is to see them have a lot of screentime. The... Continue Reading →
Danny and Baez team up with Danny’s old partner, Jackie Curatola (Jennifer Esposito), to find a copycat killer emulating murders from a previous case. Also, Frank and Mayor Chase (Dylan Walsh) battle over how best to handle the city’s rising homeless population; and Jamie, Eddie and Erin team up to build evidence against a previously...

Here are my quick thoughts on the whole of Forgive Us Our Trespasses. It was great to see Jamie and Eddie working together and sharing a hug as Jamie assembled a support group for Erin. Erin clearly needs that support; trying to do things alone wasn't good for her. After 2 years, the conclusion of... Continue Reading →
Frank worries about his long-time friend Lenny Ross (Treat Williams) when he suspects the former officer is hiding his true reason for returning to the city. Also, Danny and Baez investigate when Baez and her daughter are targeted by a criminal Baez once put away; Eddie gives her partner, Badillo, relationship advice when his ex-girlfriend...

Here are my quick thoughts on the whole of Irish Exits. As expected, Jamie only appeared for family dinner, but that scene provided a cute moment between Jamie and Eddie. Badillo seems to finally have learnt the lesson Eddie first gave him in Ghosted; l Ioved the line "in a marriage I admire" (but it would... Continue Reading →
Jamie partners with the FDNY to find the arsonist responsible for a massive fire at an NYPD evidence storage facility. Also, Danny and Baez feel the ripples of the storage facility fire when all the evidence against a cartel leader Danny brought to justice is destroyed; Anthony asks Erin to let him lead on a...

Here are my quick thoughts on the whole of Fire Drill. Only the family dinner scene brought Jamie and Eddie together, which seemed to imply they hadn't spoken about how Frank's position impacted Eddie's situation... Eddie's storyline is reminiscent of the problem Jamie faced in Tangled Up in Blue, with the solution being similarly provided anonymously... Continue Reading →
We’re approaching the 5th anniversary of this special event on May 11th; I’m posting this retrospective a little early as there will be new episodes during the next few weeks, but what better way to start the anniversary month? When a series of drive-by murders occur after six wrongly convicted men are released from prison,... Continue Reading →
Danny and Baez investigate a case of grand larceny tied to feuding crime families when the gifts are stolen during a mob wedding. Also, Frank clashes with Mayor Chase (Dylan Walsh) when an influx of immigrants arrive in the city; Erin questions whether her district attorney campaign is compromising her day job; and Eddie enlists...
