This episode has almost nine stars on IMDb, and yet there is an awful lot of hating on social media and the web because, why? Because we didn't have an episode consisting of a 50 minute wedding ceremony? This is a very odd criticism. Discussion about the wedding and many moments between different characters throughout the episode are completely focused on the impending wedding. The wedding is actually front-and-center during much of the entire episode. I thought the brevity of the episode's wedding sequence itself was perfect. It was sweet and said all that needed to be said. And a renewal for a 10th season is the icing on the wedding cake.

A Great Episode

Blue Bloods, one of my favourite shows, rarely disappoints. There are some who love episodes dedicated entirely to weddings. I'm not one of them. I appreciated the writers making the wedding a small part of the overall episode. That, combined with great segments, makes this one of the best BB episodes. Frank was great as usual. The dose of reality he served up for Abigail, Garrett, and Sid was classic Frank. The part where they are struggling in each other's role, and look to the other for help, but are told to pound pavement by the other was hilarious. And the small nod of the head of accomplishment when he sees them come together is Frank. Frank's short chat with Jamie was both funny (his opening joke that Jamie completely misses) and the fatherly advice he provides him touchy. The twist in the case of Danny and Baez was another interesting segment. And the coming together of Erin and Eddie was another great example of the characters staying true to their roles. Erin takes no prisoners and pulls no favours for anyone. And Eddie also showed her mettle. My 10 rating for this episode, which I don't easily hand out, factors everything above in. Looking forward to S10.
Heartwarming

I have watched Blue Bloods right from the beginning and feel as though I am personally invested in the Reagan family! It was a wonderful season finale to see Jamie and Eddy tie the knot - even if we only saw a small portion of the wedding. And the result of Frank's dealing with the office politics brought tears to my eyes. I SO look forward to next season - long may it continue!
It's fine making noises about Baker's job, but will she get real acknowledgement?

This was a pretty good job of pulling the various "family" threads together. One weakness, I thought, was the Danny and Baez/Rachel story. They sort of demonstrated someone else was guilty, but I didn't feel the story line was really closed off for Rachel. What I thought this episode really showed up was a question that I've been asking myself for nine years: why is Abigail Baker still a Detective? She is a woman of intelligence, competence and obvious authority. I thought in the very first season that as the Commissioner's Adjutant (which she clearly is) she should have at least the rank of Lieutenant. Frank was able to promote Sid from Sergeant without too much problem - might I suggest that both Sid and Abigail be promoted to Captain as rapidly as possible (perhaps with some equivalent nod to Garrett, who's nominally a higher level anyway), levelling the foundation supporting Frank's backup trio, and acknowledging the very equivalence of function that was pointed up in this episode.
A refreshing out of the ordinary perfect episode

Wedding bells ringing for a Reagan
bkoganbing14 November 2019
The big day for the Reagan family has arrived with Will Estes and Vanessa Ray
getting hitched and the hitching being done by the archbishop Stacy Keach.
But Ray gets into a professional dust up with Bridget Moynahan over one of her cases which threatens to derail the wedding. And she has no one to give her away at the ceremony.
A note of comedy comes into play as Tom Selleck's immediate official family gets into a turf war. So Selleck shuffles jobs for Abigail Hawk, Robert Clohessy, and Gregory Jbara and the results are funny and educational for the parties involved.
And Donnie Wahlberg and Marissa Ramirez investigate a murder of a man who had a date with a woman and they were caught on tape at a bar and she might have been the last one to see him alive. But her tearful pleas of innocence get to Danny Reagan.
All in all a landmark Blue Bloods story.

What happened to the wedding? Seriously, what happened to the wedding?

CBS hyped the living daylights out of the episode "Something Blue" regarding the wedding of Jamie Reagan (Will Estes) and Edit "Eddie" Jenko (Vanessa Ray); the upcoming nuptials had been publicized in such entertainment magazines as People and TV Guide, and on Facebook and other elements of social media. Spoiler alert, and please don't read this if you haven's seen the episode: it ends with Jamie waiting at the altar for his blushing bride, and the episode fades to black. Fades to black, man! And when I saw the ending, I thought "what the hell kind of garbage is this"? I just had the rug pulled from under me. Way to go, showrunners, way to go. Get everybody all excited and then fail to deliver. And what was the excuse? "Ehhhh, ehhhh, we couldn't come up with a wedding that would have equaled that of Prince Charles and Princess Diana". That's as bad as Hillary Clinton trying to explain why she lost the 2016 presidential election. I've heard some lame excuses before, but this takes it. Well, Blue Bloods isn't the only show to end this season on a bad note. So did NCIS Los Angeles. And both shows are on CBS. Which begs the question, what's going on over at the Tiffany Network? Oh yes, there's a subplot where that lovable assistant district attorney Erin Reagan interviews a witness, and his testimony casts doubt on Eddie Jenko's account. Turns out, the witness had been bribed. Sorry sack of oats. I've seen many great episodes of Blue Bloods, but this isn't one of them. The showrunners had better spend this summer thinking of a way to square themselves with we the viewers. As in, the first episode of the fall season had better be much better than this episode. Now get to work.
* Spoilers * Did Jamie and Eddie get married?

All that was shown at the end was the Commissioner walking Eddie down the aisle. No ceremony was shown. There is no proof they got married. There was no reception. The episode was hyped on TV and Facebook, but it failed mightily to deliver.
