Ponderings on the characters in Blue Bloods
This is the final post for the end-of-season wrap-up. Jamie and Eddie were the focus of part one. This part focuses on the rest of the extended family, It's easy to dwell on the things that we didn’t enjoy, so this will attempt to concentrate on the positives. Frank & the Dream Team Frank The...

The final stage of wrapping up season 12; this is the big one, following the shorter posts revisiting my wishlist, story themes and displays of affection. Part one focuses on Jamie and Eddie; part two will be on Friday and covers everyone else. This season was the most cohesive representation of Jamie and Eddie's marital... Continue Reading →
The third part of the post-season wrap-up focuses on physical displays of affection and follows wishes fulfilled and story themes. Next week will be the big one, the whole season 12 review. (If you'd like to compare this list with previous seasons, check out the posts for season 9, season 10, and season 11) After... Continue Reading →
After last week's look at my season 12 wishlist: continuing the season 12 wrap up. This week it’s time to consider the potential story themes, which can always feel slightly arbitrary. While many shows have story arcs, for Blue Bloods, the best you can hope for is a story theme; in fact, Kevin Wade has... Continue Reading →
This post is the first stage of wrapping up season 12; I'm starting with revisiting my wishlist for the season, looking at what parts were covered and those that weren’t.

In an emotional mood this week as we await Tangled Up in Blue.

I will always have your back. If you... Continue Reading →
We’re one week closer to Tangled Up in Blue, which will see Jamie’s career at risk and the difficulty of having to face IAB again. Coincidentally, last week was the anniversary of Risk Management: where Jamie and Eddie had to fight against charges which might have adversely affected their futures in the NYPD. Therefore, this feels like an... Continue Reading →
Continuing in a similar vein to last week’s post about children: this post will also look at some of those moments that provide a near-instantaneous connection and an emotional drive to stories. Of course, it isn’t the medical treatment that is the critical part of the plot; it’s always a result of that key story... Continue Reading →
The old adage may be to never work with children or animals, but as several storylines have shown, the introduction of a child character or even an animal can produce fantastic results. Even before Jamie and Eddie became a couple, there were times when we saw hints of what they would be like as parents.... Continue Reading →
A special Valentine's Day edition of the virtual tour and this instalment is looking at a slightly different location. It's different because it's truly virtual as so far, there haven't been any scenes on the street outside Jamie and Eddie's apartment. Although I'll spend a little time looking at where it is supposed to be... Continue Reading →
