Best scene of the series - Jamie and the Hot Dog
MiketheWhistle10 April 2020
There's limited comedy in the series, and rightly so. Most of the series deals with crime, death, rape, etc so humor is far and few between.

But the scene where Jamie gets his hot dog is awesome.

The threat and the bomb
bkoganbing21 September 2017
Instead of three or four different stories concerning the various Reagans this episode of Blue Bloods concerns a terrorist threat to New York. In this NYPD family everybody gets involved in finding and locating a bomber and defusing the threat and the bomb.

Donnie Wahlberg is concerned first because he's working on the task force and secondly because Amy Carlson is coming to Manhattan on that Saturday with the kids because they have a birthday party for one of the boys scheduled for Central Park. It's a park where the incident is to take place.

Tom Selleck does a fine job showing the weight of command in his voice and body language.

Talk about profiling, the threat is being carried out by your all American soccer mom who converted to Islam and became radicalized. Kerry Butler plays the bomber and she's both a pitiful and frightening figure at the same time.

One of the best episodes in the series.

Blue Bloods Shows it Mettle & True Grit 1.5 ****
edwagreen23 October 2010
This show is fast becoming a season's sensation. This episode was totally appropriate to today's living in a society where the preoccupation with terrorism is constantly in our thoughts.

Naturally, Danny's wife and 2 children decide to spend a Saturday in a N.Y. Park and a threat comes in that a bomb will be detonated by some terrorist.

Danny's dad, our Commissioner Frank Reagan, Tom Selleck, plays it cool all the way by not announcing what is occurring at first so as to avoid widespread panic.

Danny, Mark Wahlberg, readily proves once more that he is the real star of this amazing show. His sorting out of details to find the bomber and his cool while dealing with the culprit makes this another excellent episode to view.

Didn't care for the stereotypes in this episode

It really was offensive to categorize terrorist threats to a certain religion or race. The show is great tho

The beginning of this series racial stereotyping...
jikhan15 August 2022
With a line like "What kind of terrorist would you be if you don't know Arabic?", the racial sterotypes & clichés in this episodes are simply disgraceful.

Islamaphobic dribble masquerading as television.
dient-8704719 April 2018
Shows like this are a big reason why White Men have been the greatest proponents of domestic terrorism for several years in a row. Stereotyping Muslims as terrorists has the whole of a generation in fight or flight mode despite their being no real evidence that Muslims are violent or militaristic people in the U.S.A.

In the show one of the characters alleges that converted Muslims are "the most radical", and refer to mosques as "radicalized" while in reality there is no evidence or proof for this.

What people need to realize is that undermining the rights given to us as citizens for any reason jeopardizes every single citizens civil rights.
