'Blue Bloods': Gold Star for Donnie Wahlberg's Performance

If you missed this week's episode of "Blue Bloods," "Silver Star," don't worry, you only missed the best episode yet.When a veteran of the Iraq war (Aaron Dean Eisenberg) is left dead in an alley for hours, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) goes into marine mode and demands respect for his fellow fallen soldier. Seeing as how the murdered soldier is an ex-marine, Danny does everything in his power to find the killers and bring them to justice.
For the first time, "Blue Bloods" has given us the opportunity to see the murder as it happens, as well as the culprits so there was no mystery as to who killed the victim. This could have been so that the viewer was more focused on Danny's passion in catching the men who killed the marine. While we are all aware that Danny served time in the Iraq war, no details as to what he went through or the things he witnessed have ever been given, until now.
A conversation between Danny and his wife, Linda (Amy Carlson), was especially emotional when he reveals that a 19-year-old boy lost his life taking Danny's place one night. Danny has been dealing with survivor's guilt since then, and has tried to live his life appreciating what he has.
Wahlberg's performance throughout the episode was intense and such a delight to watch. It is obvious that the actor put in a lot of effort towards making this a stand-out performance. In fact, the night before it aired, Wahlberg wrote on his Twitter page, "["Blue Bloods" episodes] all mean a lot to me... This one does especially. Hopefully to you, too." This was one episode not to miss.
Frank (Tom Selleck) had his own set of problems when a story about him ran in a newspaper, making him out to be a "glory hound." The obvious person to have the story run was the only one with an interest in keeping Frank away from running for mayor; the mayor himself (Bruce Altman).
In an interesting side note, the opening song was a cover of Alice in Chains' "Down in a Hole." With the recent death of an Alice in Chains founding member, bassist Mike Starr, one has to wonder if it's a coincidence or if someone involved with "Blue Bloods" had the song put in at the last minute to honor Starr.
"Blue Bloods" airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. E.T. on CBS.

Step by step: The childhood home of the Knight brothers

It's not listed in any tourist guide, but NKOTB fans flock to the house where the Knight brothers grew up By Johnny Diaz Globe Staff / November 15, 2008 When Kari Lusso and her trio of girlfriends flew from Seattle to Boston for the New Kids on the Block concert, they had to make a quick detour. On a rainy Saturday night, the friends drove their rental car to 10 Melville Ave. As they stood in front of the Victorian house, they shrieked and giggled like little girls. The commotion? They were at the former home of the band's brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight. When they rang the bell, they got a quick tour. "It was going from 31 to 13," Lusso said. "We took pictures of their stove. We took pictures of their floor. We took pictures of the banister, the living room, and their bedrooms. What a dream come true to see such an...

NKOTB's Joey McIntyre Gives Update on BSB A.J. McLean in Rehab

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre has been in the music business for over 24 years and has seen some friends battle with addiction in the limelight, including Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean who recently made the decision to enter rehab. "A.J. is a sweet kid, good kid and extremely talented, so we're all there for him," said Joey. AJ admitted himself earlier this month before heading on the huge NKOTB/BSB tour. Young star Aaron Carter is reportedly seeking professional help as well to deal with some unknown "emotional and spiritual issues," and Joey commended Aaron for making that step. "To me it's usually a good thing when someone can take some time and retreat from it all and, you know, just get a little bit more centered," Joey said, encouragingly. Justin Bieber has managed to stay clean in his career thus far and Joey gave some advice to the star for staying on the right track. "Hopefully, kids like Justin… there...
