After 10 seasons, any show might start to show some sense of writer
fatigue, which may say a lot about how long dramas and comedies should
run. In the case of Blue Bloods,
the show has stayed compelling for a decade. That is, until this
season where fans now think the show hit a wall of stagnation.
Reddit some proof of Blue Bloods arguably faltering a little, maybe due to the above-mentioned writer burnout.
Is this perception for real, or should the fans just be patient until things get better? One thing for sure is this might be the final season to appreciate one of the greatest dramas on TV.
Season 10 seems to be off to a slow start
Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck | Jojo Whilden/CBS via Getty ImagesOne of the biggest complaints for the beginning of the tenth season
is there isn’t much story going on three episodes in. A Reddit user
started a thread saying how dull BB is so far, something not typical. In past season premieres, we usually saw some powerhouse stories developing by now.
Most of the ardent viewers of the show expect a cops and robbers type
of plot from the get-go each season. So far this season, there’s been a
slight change of pace, including overlooking any mention of Jamie
Reagan and Eddie Janko’s wedding (aka Jamko). Also, fans say, they’re
tired of Frank constantly fighting with his daughter, Erin.
In addition to this, the show is starting more in-fighting among the
female characters at the NYPD. Some viewers are also tired of this
rehashed plot point.
Does this mean Blue Bloods is doing what other aging shows
do and repeating old story lines? Or is this all just a deception toward
something bigger happening later?
Yes, ‘Blue Bloods’ sometimes builds to bigger stories
Let’s not overlook the fact that the show sometimes sets up a casual
pattern until things take a turn with one of the Reagan family members
having a problem. Sometimes those personal scenarios are more than a
little scary and usually criminal-oriented. Yes, quite a few times, it’s
involved Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg).
Perhaps because this could be the last season of the show, things
will go in a crazy direction before the November sweeps. By then, there
may be a lot of interesting situations developing, no doubt involving
the Reagan family in some capacity.
Nevertheless, we have to think the writers are probably burned out after all these years. CBS has only committed to renewing the series one season at a time.
As this happens, we don’t really know how the writing team feels about
continuing. Most of the renewals now seem based squarely on whether Tom
Selleck wants to return.
We’ll have to wait and see whether the writers have some aces up
their sleeves. They can’t sputter out before they have a chance to
create a compelling, new story arc other than relatively harmless ones
recently involving Eddie and Nicky.
We’re sure something is up, and it may test loyalty in the Reagan family
There is one thing we never think is old on Blue Bloods, and that’s the family dinner scenes. These are some of the most awaited family moments in all of television in recent years.
Even though we’ve reported on how difficult the dinner segments are to film (still perplexing they take eight hours to shoot),
it’s where the Reagan family can really shoot off steam. While we’ve
seen a few heated arguments, don’t be shocked if something really heated
occurs eventually.
Will we see a more serious rift develop between Frank and Erin? Will
Danny end up going over the line again in his job as he did in earlier
seasons?
Everyone should probably buckle up, because it’s hard to imagine this
show will quietly go into the night if it ultimately wraps this coming
spring. The ultimate showdown is testing the love and devotion of the
Reagans as they’ve always shown us through those intimate conversations
at the dinner table.
If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis. One such source to lay claim to Selleck's failing health is Ghanamma.com, whose information is supported by The Nation, an online newspaper. Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...
Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...
