05×03 Burning Bridges

Before getting to the main part of this post, I want to share some quick thoughts on the extremely short preview clip at the end of The Heart of a Saturday Night on September 20. It lasts 4 seconds, and there's no narration, so it looks more like a sneak peek than a promo. For... Continue Reading →

08×17 Close Calls

As we get closer to the start of the Fall season (and finally start to get information about what to expect), we know we’re approaching a time when things will change; I can’t help but think back to another time when the end of a season built towards a significant change. After Danny's brother-in-law, Jimmy... Continue Reading →

04×21 Above and Beyond

Jamie and Eddie's storyline in this episode has a similar theme to the subject of last week’s blog post, Flags of Our Fathers, as its focus is helping a child who has been affected by their parent’s choices. When a detective from Danny's precinct is killed while working undercover, Frank puts on a full-court press... Continue Reading →

06×10 Flags of Our Fathers

Danny is interrogated by the District Attorney's investigator when his ex-partner is accused of planting evidence in order to wrap up a homicide case. Also, when radical anti-government activists threaten to publicly burn an American flag, Frank grapples with the limits of free speech, on BLUE BLOODS Paramount Press Express Initial Thoughts These are my...

04×04 The Truth About Lying

Once again, I’ve accidentally continued a theme even though I have been working through the old episodes in no particular order. It’s another episode with Eddie in uniform when her hair isn’t in a bun! Plus, so much family involvement in this storyline. Danny and Baez investigate the death of a teenage girl who appears...

07×10 Unbearable Loss

There are a couple of coincidental connections to previous blog posts; another storyline that includes some family support as Jamie again visits Henry for advice, but after highlighting Eddie’s thoughts on her hairstyle in Friends in Need, this episode is one of the rare occasions where we see Eddie with her hair in a ponytail...

06×17 Friends in Need

I seem to unintentionally be following a theme of episodes which involve one of Jamie’s siblings (Erin played a supporting role in Heavy is the Head and The Forgotten, while Danny has a supporting role in this one); then again, it isn’t challenging to do that when the family connection is the thing that sets...

08×05 The Forgotten

With Saturday’s announcement, we know new episodes will return to TV on October 18; therefore, it seems likely that the final episode will air on December 13. I’ll post the first Season 14 Digest on August 1, ready to track any news; however, with CBS holding back season premieres until mid-October, we may not get... Continue Reading →

08×10 Heavy is the Head

Erin is conflicted when Jamie and Eddie ask her to help drop old charges against a man, Parker Mack (Spencer House), who just bravely rescued a woman from a local hostage situation. Also, Danny and Baez work a case involving car thieves and discover the leader is Victor Lugo (Nick Cordero), a mobster they've dealt... Continue Reading →

04×22 Exiles

When Danny is placed on modified duty after investigating a case that was off-limits, he realizes he stumbled upon something that someone is trying to keep quiet. When he passes the tip on to his father, Frank is alarmed when he learns the enormity of this case and the internal involvement, on the fourth season... Continue Reading →
