Ponderings on the characters in Blue Bloods
Eddie and her partner, Officer Rachel Witten (Lauren Patten), are heralded for their bravery for stopping an active shooter, until a civilian comes forward to accuse them of faking the incident as part of a government conspiracy. Also, Frank pries into a decades-long history of cash payments his father Henry has been making to an... Continue Reading →
Eddie and Witten's story had a deeply moving conclusion, and have to be impressed by how they handled Witten's first shooting of that kind without repeating what we've previously seen with Jamie in Front Page News and Eddie in Power Players. Henry's reasons for giving money weren't entirely surprising as it felt like there must... Continue Reading →
We’re only a few episodes into the new season, but it feels like there’s already been a lot of progress made. Also, have to bear in mind that we’re already a quarter of the way through the season! I’m going to be a little self-indulgent and look back at some of the things I highlighted... Continue Reading →
Frank must decide whether the department can accommodate a request to remain in the field from Detective Allison Mulaney (Ali Stroker), a lauded cop who is wheelchair-bound after being wounded in the line of duty. Also, Erin is conflicted by the weight of her authority in the sentencing of a man guilty of vehicular homicide,... Continue Reading →
The Jamie and Eddie story was work-focused rather than relationship-focused, it gave a really nice feel of them working as a team and that having contrasting views doesn't automatically lead to an argument. Family dinner was so funny and a high-energy scene, amusing to see Eddie finding out more about Jamie's past love life courtesy... Continue Reading →
A few months ago, 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. It's time to add to the series with another long-term writer on the show, Brian... Continue Reading →
New year, new post. This is the fourth month of filming and second month of season 11 on our TV screens. This is a catch-all post that will be updated with any news on filming, air dates, and anything else that seems relevant. The only thing we can be sure of is that things won't... Continue Reading →
We've made it to the end of the year, it feels like the right time to recap the introduction of a new member of the family. This is an attempt to make sense of what we've seen and what might have been intended before the year's events caused a change of plans. Of course, these... Continue Reading →
It’s safe to say that it's been a strange year, but there are still good moments to remember even though we’ve had 10 fewer episodes than any other year. Like last year I’m picking out some of my favourite moments from each of the months the show was on the air for this year –... Continue Reading →
A quick post to wish you all a Merry Christmas. It's been a strange and difficult year, but at least the show was back on our screens before Christmas. We may not have seen anything that quite matched the Santa suits from Bones to Pick, but the latest episode did give us our first chance... Continue Reading →
