Critic’s Score: 4.8 / 5.0
4.8
I do know I preserve saying it, however Blue Bloods’ cancelation is the worst tv information in a very long time.
We’re greater than midway by means of the ultimate batch of episodes now.
Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 15 had all the things that made me fall in love with this present after which some. I don’t know what I’m going to do with my Friday nights after December 13.
Joe Simply Had To Be Joe On Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 15
I’m nonetheless hoping that Joe Hill will finish the sequence by turning into a completely accepted member of the Reagan household.
To me, closure about his father’s dying means your complete household embraces Joe and vice versa.
I’m unsure that may occur now, although.
Danny saying Joe was an amazing detective was a step in the proper path, however Joe did the identical annoying factor he all the time does that makes his uncles dislike working with him, and that usually carries over into their private relationship.
Joe’s cussed streak is way extra annoying on him than it’s on Frank or Erin. He all the time feels a have to work the case his approach, despite the fact that his approach goes to get somebody killed.
He was disobeying Danny’s orders whereas Danny was within the room. Sheesh.
It’s taken me a very long time to heat as much as Joe due to that.
Possibly if he’d been a part of Blue Bloods from the start, I might shrug it off as Joe being Joe, however as is, he comes throughout as disrespectful, hotheaded, and annoying.
He was much less so than normal this time, although, so possibly there’s hope for him but, particularly since Danny appears to have gained respect for Joe.
Erin: Wish to help?
Danny: I’ll. Proper after a drink.
Henry: You continue to labored up about working with Joe?
Danny: I’m not labored up. He’s an amazing detective, good child. It’s simply he appears extra into making the collar and never a lot into the folks concerned.
Moreover, Joe did save Danny’s life throughout the climactic scene. I’ll by no means perceive why the ten million police procedurals on TV insist on having cops go into conditions with out correct backup, however Joe’s capturing the dangerous man who was making an attempt to kill Danny has to depend for one thing!
I ponder why Joe wasn’t on the Reagan household dinner, although. He’s appeared at the previous few, however his absence this time allowed Danny and Erin to speak about Danny working with him.
Though Joe’s working with Danny was essential, I’d have liked for Baez to have been concerned on this storyline on Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 15.
I all the time need extra Baez on common ideas, however on this case, her inclusion would have made sense.
She might need been in a position to assist with anybody who solely spoke Spanish and probably give some perception into the tradition among the many compañeros, which might have made it simpler to unravel this case.
Erin’s Case Demonstrated Why She Ought to Have Run For DA After All
Crawford was past annoying.
I perceive that she has circumstances to shut and is the boss. I additionally perceive that she resents Erin’s relationship with the Reagans.
Moreover, her snide remarks pointed to at least one factor: she’s targeted solely on uncooked numbers and doesn’t get why anybody would trouble to care concerning the human beings concerned within the circumstances they shut.
Erin is an ADA as a result of she desires to get justice for victims, not merely so she will brag about what number of circumstances she’s closed.
Crawford’s opinion that Erin shouldn’t care about Del as a result of she’s not a social employee aggravated me.
It added insult to damage that she visited him within the hospital after he risked his life and acted like she thought he was a hero all alongside. GO AWAY.
New York Metropolis wants extra folks like Erin and fewer like Crawford.
I REALLY hope that is her final look. With solely three episodes left, I’m not within the temper to waste any extra airtime on her.
A New Recruit Was Fired For Saving a Life On Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 15
Even Crawford didn’t make me as offended as the best way new recruit Jaylen was handled.
He charged at a robber who was holding a lady hostage, saving her life in addition to Eddie and Badillo’s lives, solely to be kicked out of the academy as a result of non-graduates aren’t purported to become involved in life-threatening conditions.
In what world does that make sense?
I perceive that recruits shouldn’t enter harmful conditions as a result of they aren’t but geared up to deal with them.
Nevertheless, on this case, the man saved somebody’s life and the scenario probably would have ended badly if he had not.
Jamie was keen to ship Eddie to the hospital in order that they each might take into consideration find out how to deal with the report (although he ended up submitting it early). Why not say within the report that Jaylen was performing as a bystander, not in any skilled capability?
Drawback solved. As Eddie identified, if Jaylen had been a non-public citizen, he’d be hailed as a hero.
Jaylen’s termination was in all probability extra as a result of the fool husband sued than anything.
That’s doubly unfair as a result of Jamie uncovered proof that your complete lawsuit was fraudulent and the lady Jaylen saved had torn her ACL months in the past.
It’s nice that he can nonetheless work in Nassau — I suppose that doesn’t depend as being out of residency — however the thanks he acquired for saving a life shouldn’t have been a frivolous lawsuit and the lack of his place within the academy.
I hated that Jamie and Eddie acquired right into a struggle over it, however Eddie was proper. Jamie shouldn’t have filed that report with out speaking to her.
Generally Jamie is an excessive amount of of a straight arrow for his personal good. He takes after Frank that approach.
No, Sid Isn’t Leaving, However Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 15 Made It Appear Like He Was
Frank struggled with what to do when he discovered Sid was residing 80 miles away when cops had been purported to stay in New York Metropolis. When he confronted Sid about it, Sid admitted he was able to retire.
That appeared like a solution to what is going to occur to one of many characters once we get to the finale in a number of weeks, however then Frank determined to unofficially enable cops to stay the place they wished.
Whereas the residency debate was attention-grabbing, I used to be irritated by the Sid scenario.
It might have been solved simply if Sid had spoken to Frank about what was happening within the first place.
Frank tries to do what’s proper and generally can adhere too rigidly to the principles.
Nevertheless, does ANYONE suppose that if Sid had come to him and informed him that his mom was dying and he wanted to be upstate along with her, Frank would have responded by firing him for not staying within the metropolis?
After all not. It could have ended the identical approach it did, with Frank agreeing to look the opposite approach on this, solely with out the additional drama that took up a 3rd of Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 15.
It’s not stunning that Frank would make an exception with out admitting that’s what he was doing.
Folks usually mistake Frank residing by his personal ethical code for being so rigidly rule-bound that empathy and humanity exit the window.
However that’s a misunderstanding.
Frank lives by HIS values, and more often than not, these values embrace following the principles. Generally, although, his worth system requires him to place a much bigger trigger forward of the letter of the regulation, and that’s what occurred right here.
As for the residency requirement itself, I agree with Frank and Jamie that cops should stay within the neighborhoods they patrol.
I feel that at the very least among the stress between police and residents comes from cops who stay elsewhere and whose solely interactions with residents are when they’re pulling them over or arresting them.
When cops stay locally, they turn into neighbors in addition to cops, and once they and the residents of a neighborhood get to know one another, each side see one another’s humanity.
Moreover, Eddie’s feedback about residing paycheck to paycheck and Garrett’s grievance concerning the optics of Frank residing in a giant home whereas the rank-and-file battle to pay lease aren’t indicative of an issue with NYPD coverage.
It’s an issue with the excessive price of residing in New York Metropolis, and somebody wants to speak to Mayor Chase about specializing in doing one thing about that as an alternative of losing time with insurance policies that don’t do something for anybody.
