Ponderings on the characters in Blue Bloods
The eleventh 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 →

We're well into the summer hiatus now, so a slightly different post this week. It might be a provocative topic, but the focus is on the use of conflict to drive Jamie and Eddie's relationship. It's my take on what's generally perceived to be a problem, and others will have a different opinion, but while... Continue Reading →
For a while, I wondered whether there would be a reason to write this post for season 11. It was understandable that while filming during a pandemic, there would be a need to place limitations on what was filmed, and entertainment shouldn't be prioritised over the casts' health.

The one non-story wish was that everyone would remain safe and healthy throughout the season, and based on the reports that they never had to shut down,... Continue Reading →

We’ve reached another minor milestone, which you may be able to guess from the title, even if it is a little cliched, fifty episodes of Jamie and Eddie as a couple. If you include the episode where they became a couple then this is as of More Than Meets the Eye, otherwise, it’ll be this Friday’s... Continue Reading →
