Challenges for all the Reagans
bkoganbing23 September 2016
Season 7 of Blue Bloods started with all the Reagans engaged in some crisis or other. Donnie Wahlberg is before the Grand Jury for the shooting death of a known serial killer he had history with in previous episodes. He has to convey to the Grand Jury that the world is indeed better off with the serial killer no longer breathing. He also is working a case and ironically has to save a young witness from being killed by the Albanian mob and it's a close run thing.

Tom Selleck gets an unusual request from a cop's widow, to prevent her son from joining NYPD, find some pretext to flunk him out. Not easy and not his department really because this young man is a stellar cadet at the Academy.

Will Estes encounter with a mayoral candidate in a drunk driving incident may have permanent blow back for the Reagan family especially the commissioner. What he does might give a lot of us ordinary citizens a reason to stand and cheer, but his father serves at the pleasure of the mayor and Selleck has served two of them. That's unusual in and of itself as there most certainly is politics in the job as Blue Bloods does show. That's a story line we'll have to see how it develops. John Thomas Cramer is one of those bloviating politicians that I really hate.

This is a good start to the season.

Good season opener

I thought the episode was excellent as a season opener and considering how awful a handful of episodes last season were. I was especially proud of how Danny handled the grand jury despite the odds not being in his favor. On a quick note, I truly enjoyed the now enlightened foreshadowing of alleged Lori Loughlin's backroom dealings pertaining to academic situations. Hilarious!

The widow of a slain police officer begs Frank to make sure that her son does not join the force. In a gut-wrenching decision, Frank does what he has to do and the response of the mother shall always be etched in my mind.

Danny gives a wonderful performance here, especially when he confronts the grand jury on the situation that led him to kill that serial killer.

We also witness a cover-up when a politician running for reelection is behind the wheel of the car that slams into a person. The politician denies that he was driving and how it was shown that he was was brilliant.
