Blue Bloods S14E7 : Un repas en famille insensé !
Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 7 Review: On The Ropes
YES! We finally got a real family dinner scene.
No, that wasn’t the point of Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 7, but the family dinners have been given short shrift for far too long, often getting tacked onto the end as if they were an afterthought the writers rushed to include.
The dinner conversation mostly revolved around a silly story involving Frank’s opposition to Sid’s plan to get in the ring with a cop he couldn’t stand. However, the family bonding, teasing each other, and telling old stories were all there, making up for the nonsensical storyline.
Frank’s story was more comic relief than anything else. Whenever he argued with anyone about whether Sid should have a boxing match with Sergeant Russo, it seemed like he should have better things to do.
Frank doesn’t usually care about optics, so his contention that Sid fighting a younger cop wasn’t a good look for 1PP was odd, even if he did have a point. Since when does Frank Reagan base his decisions on these types of concerns?
The Deep Fake Story Was Fantastic But Brought Up Questions
Jamie’s struggle to get a guy to testify against some AI scammers was one of the most compelling cases Blue Bloods has had in a while. Deepfakes are the darkest, scariest aspect of AI, but many people are focused on the fear that an AI program could replace their job and are unaware of the real threat. Kudos to Blue Bloods for raising awareness.
Neighbours has also had a recent storyline featuring deepfakes, making it hard not to compare despite the two shows being completely different genres. Blue Bloods’ version was terrifying because the deep fakes were good enough to fool Sergeant McNichol into giving up sensitive info about a prisoner’s location.
There didn’t seem to be any way to stop the deep fakers, either. Calling them out only led them to make threats, and the people behind the malicious AI had covered their tracks. Scary stuff. Let’s hope real government officials are more adept at identifying and stopping malicious AI deepfakes than the fictional cops.
Anthony’s Tragic Story
Erin Reagan’s stories are usually the weakest part of the hour. However, this one with Anthony was more compelling than usual. The ADA was never meant to make small businesses offer accommodations they could not provide. It sucks to be a wheelchair user or otherwise physically disabled and not be able to get into certain stores because they aren’t wheelchair accessible. Still, Harry couldn’t make those accommodations in the space he had, especially not at the price tag he had been quoted for them.
The demand from Timmons sounded more like a shakedown. Was he associated with the mafia or other groups Elliot Stabler is trying to infiltrate on Law & Order: Organized Crime?
When Anthony claimed the perp on the video was way too thin to be him, I thought maybe the deep fakers created that video, too. That would have been a hell of a plot twist! At least Anthony and Erin got the goods on Timmons, and he won’t be scamming anyone else.
