I noticed the name Trask too!

I loved your writeup heroicmuse. The one thing I would add is that the Jamko kiss at the end was nice and the first kiss we've seen in years, probably way back when they were dating. We didn't get to see the proposal or the wedding. They were offscreen.

Okay, what was wrong with that judge?

It was bad enough that Leticia Harris' defense was that Erin's opening the case was politically motivated.

But on Blue Bloods Season 12 Episode 6, the judge kept overruling Erin's objections even when it seemed like there was no legitimate purpose to Leticia's questions.

Great summary and analysis heroicmuse. Erin is my least favorite Blue Bloods character, but I agree that the trial became about her rather than about the crime.

I too wanted more Danny/Jamie. They should have bonded over this. And you are right that it was so stupid for Danny to continue to be involved when he was supposed to be dead. The perps outsmarted the cops.

My favorite part of the episode happened right at the beginning when Danny visited Linda's grave. He is still grieving.

I loved that too. That was such a beautiful scene. I wish they hadn't ruined it with the woman trying to kill him at the cemetery.

Erin's my least favorite too. I like Jamie the best, and of course Frank.

I thought last night's episode was a little lackluster. Not nearly enough Jamie or Jamie/Eddie. Too much Erin. And I don't know what the point of the new member of the Dream Team was.

I felt similarly. Jamie was MIA. And if they weren't going to keep that new lady, why bring her on? And why was the dinner scene tacked onto the end like an afterthought?

Here's my writeup.

I liked Blue Bloods this week. I did feel like Erin's "friend" was giving her the runaround telling her she has a good chance of winning, then saying she's not relatable enough to win. Nasty.

I didn't really like them giving an easy excuse to Edie's new partner for his behavior. Seemed juvenile to me.

I enjoy seeing Anthony away from Erin, but I did like how he showed up at the end to get her out of the house for a drink.

[heroicmuse]

Ooh I hated Erin's friend's attitude. I think this thing about being likeable is nonsense. I would rather vote for someone like Erin who is dedicated to their job than someone who is trying too hard to be relatable.

It was good! There was a story about Jamie being concerned after Henry fell asleep with the stove on and the kitchen caught on fire, which was my favorite part.

I was waiting to post my writeup because I knew you would want to see it Unfortunately now we have reruns til after Christmas, boo.

Thanks heroicmuse. Looks like I missed a good one!

[Kpatch]

Good episode last night, a little out of the ordinary. I didn't like how the Reagans were universally disliked or the way Jamie didn't take Eddie seriously. But I liked how the desk salute was used to capture a criminal.

[heroicmuse]

I thought it was a little silly, but I enjoyed parts of it. I could have done without the Jimmy Buffett story. Although I LOVED Henry's reaction to Sean not knowing who Ol' Blue Eyes was.

Here's my write-up.

The conflict between Jamie and Joe felt manufactured. I wasn't crazy about the way Joe was used in this episode.

Equally unrealistic was Eddie and Erin. Eddie would absolutely know how Erin would react to her bringing the victim to Erin's office unannounced. And I don't see Erin softening and telling Eddie not to apologize. Erin can be a B-word and is nasty more often than not.

Both of those make-up scenes felt disingenuous and fairy-tale like to me. There doesn't have to be a feel-good ending. It would be more realistic for these conflicts to overflow into future episodes.

I barely paid attention to the archbishop story. If it's not the mayor being at odds with Frank, it's the archbishop.
