Semper Fi

[bkoganbing · 7/10 · 11 August 2016]

This one is real personal for Iraq War veteran Donnie Wahlberg. Aaron Eisenberg a homeless Marine veteran is beaten to death outside a club by four yuppie punks. There is a bond between veterans that is something people like Neal Bledsoe cannot fathom. He also can't fathom someone he cannot buy off which he has in the past.

As it turns out the other three are friends and/or work for Bledsoe and they close ranks to protect him. In the end though something that Bledsoe did that was very stupid leads to the forensic evidence that will assuredly convict him.

This one is a special one for Donnie Wahlberg.

Blue Bloods- Marine Brothers ****

[edwagreen · 10/10 · 12 March 2011]

Still another outstanding episode highlights what is becoming my favorite show on television. Attention to the Emmy awards: Please nominate this show for best drama and Donny Wahlberg for best supporting actor.

This episode was a poignant one as it depicts the problems of returning veterans from Iraq. In this case, our hero is murdered by a group of drunken men, one of whom is a wealthy misery who feels he can do as he pleases and get away with it since his father is enormously wealthy.

The episode shows the effects of the murder on fellow marine Wahlberg, a tough police officer to begin with.

In a minor sidebar issue, the mayor tries to plant a story that Police Commissioner Frank Regan will challenge him for the mayoralty. The major story is so good that it just blows this segment away.

Firing on all cylinders

[JustKeepingItReal · 10/10 · 22 December 2020]

Been enjoying season 1. Haven't seen a lemon yet. They're all 8s and 9s. But this one was a 10.

Top-notch acting. Great script. We use a filter that took out a lot of the violence-- and there was some pretty graphic violence in this one, so beware.

But just an absolutely top-notch script. The way Selleck carries himself in difficult situations is class-A. Whoever is writing this script has got that quality that is so fleeting in Hollywood today-- but it is still there in some pockets.

I think the word is

weight.

The weight of character, honor. And also realizing that there aren't really any lines between the "bad guys" and the "good guys." We all have the same potential to live out the worst that is in us. Or find a way to conquer it. But listen to me wax eloquent.

This is an episode that has everything there is to love in Blue Bloods: honor honor and more honor.

Enjoy every bit of it! And let it fuel you. This one was a 10 for me.

Taps was done right

[Maxximumforce · 22 July 2022]

In the trivia it says Taps isn't played until after the flag is folded....not true. The flag is held over the casket while taps is played and after the rifle volleys are fired.
