Blue Bloods (TV Series) Women with Guns (2012) User Reviews

Gun Ladies ***1/2

[edwagreen · 9/10 · 3 March 2012]

Frank's reporter girlfriend comes to town and is immediately a victim of an attempt to throw acid in her face. As usual, there is a list of people who might do this, but the identity of the culprit will surprise you at the end.

Remember when young Reagan went undercover and was beaten up by one of the mobsters? In this episode, the mobster is killed and of course, the mob family wants to talk to our young undercover officer. You know what they mean by their definition of talk.

Frank's children are surprised and react with glee when they discover that their father has a lady friend. Danny blushes and giggles. It's a little out of character for him, especially since his widower father is an adult.

Tom protects his girlfriend

[bkoganbing · 7/10 · 20 October 2016]

Tom Selleck's girlfriend Margaret Colin an investigative reporter who did a few Blue Bloods episodes gets attacked with acid just as they part after attending a dinner. Good thing Selleck was armed and caused the fleeing felon to get careless with his aim.

Nice also to have one of the best detectives in the NYPD as a son as well. Donnie Wahlberg's investigation yields a very surprising perpetrator.

The other son Jamie because of past undercover work is all of a sudden of interest to a Mafia crime family. One of the button men who worked him over is dead as these folks usually get dead, but the family suspects Will Estes. That's a jackpot he gets out of at least for now temporarily.

Sunday dinner at the Reagans is a bit off kilter as everyone wants to know about Selleck's love life.

Nicely done as usual.

I agree with the others... this one was an exception in the usual integrity of the commissioner

[JustKeepingItReal · 4/10 · 27 April 2021]

Yeah, I get it. It's 21st century American entertainment industry... you can be religious, but you have to wink and nod and normalize fornication and joke about it over the dinner table. As my wife and I watched this, it's just one of those episodes we will probably try to erase from our image of the commissioner.

In some episodes he takes his faith and his integrity so seriously. Actually in all of them. But then in this one ... he actually seems to just have a roll-your-eyes attitude about it.

Actually jokes about being on his way to church after fornicating with her-- I mean, who wrote this episode? I can almost bet it wasn't the usual writer. Probably the show got some pressure from people because of some of the previously overt faith-based elements of some of the immediately prior episodes. Someone probably said, "yeah, we're getting a little to heavy with the religion... gotta spice it up for the average American viewer who wants to see someone he can relate to." I get it. I know the generation and culture I live in. But it's still lame.

The Frank who took his faith and his integrity so seriously in all previous episodes would not dare to joke about openly doing things that his faith says are directly grievous to the God at the center of that faith. It just doesn't make sense. It's like celebrating the beauty of veganism for 39 episodes and then having an episode where you have a hot dog-eating contest. And then wink and joke about it. (hardy har har).

It's trying to be a show that it's not. A show that it doesn't need to try to be, because that's every other show out there.

I have reviewed other episodes as 9s and 10s. This one really is an exception, and one I hope to soon forget.

The drama elements are amazing and the side-story with Jamie is top-notch, so that's why it does get 4-stars. But it really took a super honorable character and dipped him in the mud-- a kind of mud that is especially out of place for the specific kind of character the show has developed him to be.

I get the pressure they probably faced to do this. But it still was unnecessary and disappointing.

Booty calls

[Originator1994 · 5/10 · 21 May 2017]

I enjoy the general premise of the show except for the dinner time conversation that should not be taking place as they are discussing open investigations in front of those not a part of the job.

Frank has a knack of having a double standard .Booty calls in the first season with a reporter and now another reporter and yet he purports to be a good Catholic .. I find this unnerving because in many episodes he comes off as the good catholic and yet he does this without benefit of remarriage and at his convenience it seems . Not a good tone to be projecting to others
