Goofs

Erin says that what Anthony did in staking out a known criminal was illegal. In fact, police can and do perform surveillance in areas where there is a high crime rate. What Anthony did was not only legal, but good police work.

Erin also said the offense the criminal was arrested for was attempted larceny. That was also an error since he in fact burglarized a vehicle and took property from it- there was no attempt, it was a completed crime.

User Reviews

Disappointing and agenda-driven

I was both surprised and concerned to find that the writers of the episode have also written other episodes. We felt as if it had been written by someone who either did not know any of the characters, or did not like any of the characters and wanted viewers to hate them too.

It was a piece of obnoxiously-chip-on-your-shoulder feminist propaganda, and from the lower end of the IQ pool at that. Zero creativity, zero nuance, zero credibility of characterization.

My hope is that the writers either paid their cocktail-party dues sufficiently with this ep, or got it out of their system, and either can get back to, or be replaced by writers who are willing to get back to, what makes Blue Bloods great.
