Turns out Blue Bloods has now finally crossed over from the science fiction of honest cops, uncorrupt bureaucrats, honour before politics and career straight into the start of our own timeline.
Episode 22 of season 4, the DA Amanda, finally catches a whole host of high ranking politicos, judges and so on ramming escorts, all on tape, and Erin, her number 2 rats her out for having ran the operation for 4 months instead of one.
So, in short, she covers up massive hypocrisy and corruption over a technicality.
Then on episode 2 of season 5 Tom Selleck, playing the Police Commissioner, supposedly a devout “Catholic” comes out and says the Church is behind the times on faggotry… but hey… he misses the Latin Mass.
So, pushing the fake “Catholic” Novus Orco line on faggotry. There was, of course, no need for him to do that. All he had to say was that he’s a devout Catholic, and every sinner, including him, has his crosses to bear. But no… and at the end, of course, the nun too turns out to be a lesbian. Again, pushing things that are dogmatically against teachings of the Catholic Church.
Oh well, it was a pretty good run of old time boomer utopia while it lasted.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I was in any way invested in the program in terms of morality or content or narrative. It was just nice to have total mental bubblegum, a fake, harmless story of bad guys and good guys as it was in the comic books of my childhood.
Oh well.
Back to lashing things down. There’s supposed to be a storm tomorrow that happens less than once in 30 years.
I’m curious to see what it will be like.
Person of Interest ended up being decent fun for mental bubblegum.
Never could sit through a single episode
