Haven/Blue Bloods

Haven – The Trial of Audrey Parker
     Audrey trying to explain the troubles to her FBI boss cracked me up.  Even she realized how crazy she sounded, and she couldn’t do anything to make herself sound saner.  Her boss was kind of a jerk.  I am glad she quit the FBI and can now be a full time Haven police officer.  I was surprised the FBI boss was in cahoots with the police chief, and it’s obvious he knows way more about Haven then he lets on.
     Does Nathan not being able to physically feel anything have something to do with the troubles?  Does he cause the troubles, or do the troubles cause his issue?
     Duke’s boat picked a really bad time to pop a leak and start sinking.  Convenient to the story, yes, because it added tension, but seemed a little ridiculous.  I am curious about what is in the box Duke is holding off the side of his boat.

Blue Bloods - Pilot
      Did we really need to hear New York, New York to know that this was taking place in New York?  It felt really obvious.  Then they used another version at the end.  I hope this isn’t going to be a trend.
     Danny is a good detective, and saved the little girl, but he just got lucky that the perp didn’t walk.  I expect we are going to see that he has some anger/rage issues, and is probably suffering from PTSD from his time in Iraq.
     My guess is that Jamie will work to investigate the Blue Templar, and at some point he will discover that Danny is a member.  That was the piece in Danny’s closet that was focused on in the teaser, a Blue Templar chip (for want of a better word) like the one the FBI showed Jamie.
     I will be interested to learn more about the sister, Erin’s, story.  She has a soon-to-be ex-husband that I am sure we will meet in the future, and I have a feeling she is a serious type-A personality.
     I am so happy to have Tom Selleck back on my TV every week!  I really like him as the Police Commissioner, and I am also looking forward to finding out more about his issues with the mayor, and what happened to HIS dad on the job that seems to have been a serious issue.
     What is it with all these dramas using the dinner table for screaming at each other?  This show, Brothers and Sister, and Parenthood just to name three are currently doing it.  Modern Family either has or will, but they will make it funny at least.

  1. I don't think the crack in the boat was a plot device. The way FBI guy and the Chief talked about it, it seemed to have something to do with the Troubles. Also loved the shout out to the X-Files with the "other agent who was into aliens. A genius, but those last two or three years were really hard on him." Cracked me up!

    I think the FBI guy sent Audrey to Haven because he knows about the Troubles, knows she's connected, and thinks she can help.

  2. Thanks, Shelly. I may have missed the conversation about the crack in the boat. As for the X-Files shout out, I KNEW it was a shout out to something, and was trying to figure out to what Stephen King book it was referring. X-Files totally makes sense :-)
