We haven't missed an episode of this great show, but I find that the dinner scene at the end of this episode has continued to annoy me. Would the Reagans really pile on Eddie over her very odd prayer? I remember my first dinners with my future in-laws. They bent over backwards to let me know I was welcome. I would have expected the Reagans to do the same. I would have written an awkward silence after which everyone starts passing food and chattering without looking at Eddie, and then she bursts out laughing. Especially because it concerned prayer, I thought the scene particularly ugly.

So when Danny's wife (remind me...it's almost 3 am and I'm drawing a blank), when she abruptly passes away and we've left her very alive in season 7 and all of a sudden she's not there in season 8, we somehow managed to get over that. But what I can't get over is this sudden engagement between Edi and Jamie! The show had made it very clear that this inevitable relationship was being taken slow. When we all thought it had reached its climax and they were going to sleep together, they decided not to and put their job before their feelings for each other. Now all of a sudden, without even that first kiss, we find them engaged in season 9. Now to add insult to injury, they have that awkward kiss at the mini-golf where we get a good view of their chins? What's going on here Blue Bloods? Are your writers afraid of on-screen displays of affection? Come to think of it, there hasn't been a lot of kissing or physical intimacy on this show, period. Which I guess is a good thing but at least give us one good kiss, give us something for waiting all these years for these two to get together other than an invisible engagement and an awkward kiss!

Also, on another note, don't know anything about the NYPD but this secret bunker for indispensable NYPD officers...I know this is just a show but if it does actually exist, isn't it confidential? Are we the general public supposed to know about it? Or am I being very gullible right now?
