Season 12 Story Themes

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 →

Season 12 Wishes Fulfilled

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. Not knowing how close to the past way of doing things might be this season, I'd kept the wishes relatively vague. Overall, it felt like... Continue Reading →

12×20 Silver Linings

Danny and Jamie join forces with their nephew, Joe Hill (Will Hochman), when Jamie and Joe’s search for an undocumented, trafficked teenage girl converges with Danny and Baez’s investigation into the murder of a woman in witness protection. Also, Frank and Erin butt heads when Frank calls out the district attorney’s office for instituting a... Continue Reading →

What a way to end the season! It felt that it continued the emotional importance of family from Tangled Up in Blue while still providing plenty of action. As expected, there was barely any interaction between Jamie and Eddie, but at least they squeezed in a quick conversation. It was another emotionally charged storyline for Jamie, especially...

Season 12 Journal – May

The end of the season is almost here, but we're starting the month with the good news that the show will be returning for season 13. Therefore this will be the last of the season 12 journals; I'm planning to start the season 13 journals in July, as that's when filming is likely to begin.... Continue Reading →

What an episode! The pre-title sequence was so unsettling, with one problem after another. I loved the various family moments throughout as the episode built its way to a happy ending. I might be greedy and wished we'd had a little more time for Jamie and Eddie together, but it was great to see Eddie... Continue Reading →

The waiting is over, CBS has announced that Blue Bloods has been renewed for season 13. The Hollywood Reporter highlights that due to its viewing figures this season, Blue Bloods ranks fourth amongst all broadcast shows (excluding sports). While TV Line notes that this season's demos and viewing figures were only a fraction lower than... Continue Reading →

I’ll Stand By You

In an emotional mood this week as we await Tangled Up in Blue. While we can’t be sure how Eddie is involved in Jamie’s story, it feels likely, especially when you consider that the lead writer for Tangled Up in Blue was also responsible for My Aim is True and these vows. I will always have your back. If you... Continue Reading →
