Ponderings on the characters in Blue Bloods
Before revisiting my wishes for the season, I just want to reflect on one significant change we've seen. There has been a definite step away from the ‘Love Through Conflict’ formula. That’s not to suggest there’s been no conflict at all, but that it has been approached differently and demonstrates that things can change. Both... Continue Reading →
In 2020, I started this series of posts to consider each of the main writers on Blue Bloods. The aim is to highlight the contributions they’ve made to Jamie and Eddie’s story, including the development of their relationship. A whole year has passed since I added to the series, but it's now time for Daniel... Continue Reading →
Perhaps not as strange a year as 2020, but this year wasn’t without complications. However, based on what we’ve seen onscreen, it’s easy to see increasing confidence in what can be done. I previously produced lists for 2019 and 2020: so again, I'm picking my favourite moments from each month the show was on the... Continue Reading →
It’s difficult to be objective about what we’ve seen so far for Jamie and Eddie when I’m still on a high from Firewall. That’s certainly not to suggest that the season so far has been perfect; there is one episode that I’m happy to pretend doesn’t exist (Times Like These), but overall this has felt like...

There are now only a few days to go until season 12 begins. Rather than look ahead, it seems appropriate to take the time to reflect on past premieres. Maybe identify a favourite in terms of Jamie and Eddie storylines and think about what the season 12 premiere might be like. This is part of... Continue Reading →
It’s that time again, we’re getting ever closer to the season premiere, so I'm taking the opportunity to think about what I’d like to see. As always, this isn’t in any particular order. Some of this will be a repeat from last year (really I could repeat the whole of that list), as there are... Continue Reading →
The weekly dinners are a way of maintaining the family bonds, but we've seen over the years this isn't restricted only to the people who are connected by blood. Instead, it’s those related by blood or love, the might-have-beens and the partners who share life and death situations. We have the strongest indication of what... Continue Reading →
Continuing the theme of looking back at times where Jamie and Eddie have been in different situations, this week it’s from a different angle with a recap of the undercover assignments they’ve been on. At a minimum, it’s a chance to place them in a completely different position, perhaps with a bit of fun due... Continue Reading →
It often feels like Jamie and Eddie are always working, but as many of us enjoy the lazy days of summer, it brings to mind time spent having fun. Summer is a time when you can sit back and relax, spend time with friends and go on trips. Which made me wonder about how Jamie... Continue Reading →
The twelfth part of a virtual location tour, where details are shared about the real-world location for a place seen in the show. These may not always be locations you have a desperate need to visit, but it's an unusual way to see the different areas of New York that are used for filming. Although... Continue Reading →
