A dispute over an internet dating site becomes deadly, and Detectives Goren and Eames are called to investigate when twin brothers are found murdered in the offices of the website.
In descending order: Trophy Wife (the only episode solely scripted by Warren Leight not based on someone else's story?) Rispeetto (what happened in this episode and the Columbo episode "Last Salute to the Commodore" doesn't happen enough in procedurals) To the Boy in the Blue Knit Cap The Last… More Street in Manhattan (some background on Eames interwoven into a story where the killer seems somewhat obvious) The Consoler Icarus Cadaver (another episode where the killer seemed kind of obvious early on) Boots on the Ground (too many hands on the trigger for my taste) No real stinkers, but an eight-episode season is too short for me even if I don't watch every episode of a show.
Please use this thread for all discussion of the series finale, "To the Boy in the Blue Knit Cap."
Please use this thread for all discussion of the episode, "Icarus."
I was thrilled to find that Goren and Aimes were back this year. They were the only two I watch on this series. I like Jeff Goldblum but he does not fit this show. Goren and Aimes should carry this show alone no other detective's. They made the show! Since these two are back this season, I am again tuning in. Thank you for giving me back a
show I love watching! The character of Goren is one of the best in the Law and Order Family. It is great to watch these two together. My only suggestion now is that the two of them interact more with each other during the show. Wouldn't hurt to add a love interest either.
I am so happy that they brought back Vincent D'Onofrio and Catherine Erbe. I caught the last season opener when Vincent and Catherine was on there for the last time.. After that first episode I didn't watch it at all the entire season. I'm sorry but Jeff Goldblum can't replace Vincent and I have no idea who the other actress was that replaced Catherine. They must have had bad ratings last season. Why else would they bring back the 2 greatest detectives on TV today. I am a huge fan of this show. I also like SVU as well, but not as much as Criminal intent. It's a shame that this is the last season for C.I. Good thing their bringing back D'Onofrio and Erbe. It just wasn't the same without them. I only wish they didn't kill off Eric Bogosian's character, Captain Ross.
It's rare indeed when you see a spin off show that's every bit as good or better than it's parent show, but Law and Order Criminal Intent definitely fits the bill. More of a whodunit than the original, this show never fails to hold my attention and keep holding on right to the end of every episode. And like all the members of the Law and Order franchise, the writing is superior to well over ninety percent of everything else you're liable to see on prime time television. Never fails to intrigue, never insults your intelligence. Never gets old for me, either.
Another review for this show is Law and Order Criminal Intent is so bad that within 15 minutes you know you the killers are. The criminal are complete morons. I mean come on who would shoot someone and not dispose of the body, or shoot someone in a public restroom? Dick Wolf did that to please the PTC. (Sadly...) Goren is supposed to know "everything" but even he cannot manage to teach Eames how to do anything. Eames meanwhile, just stands there, asks Goren questions, she never finds a clue herself. It's almost as if Eames didn't know about the field in the first place. Another point, Eames knows nothing about the field, and therefore, cannot help Goren out with a problem leaving Goren to have to deal with the problems without backup. Eames cannot fire her gun, or even help to look at the body. Eames just stands there to look pretty and too make people all visually stimulated and rather than to keep the viewers stimulated with amazing episodes. Kathryn was put there as an excuse for such a lousy show just to have people stare at her. Goren and Eames have terrible chemistry that's about to explode every second, because Goren never listens and follows orders, and Eames knows nothing about the field. Needless to say this show can be gone for good. P.S. I only saw Season 1. Thank Goodness.
Okay, I admit it. I miss Vincent. There, i said it. I gotta tell ya, I was mad. I didn't even watch the recorded episodes I had stored on my DVR. You know, the 'Goldblum' ones?
But then i was ready to cancel the series and delete the episodes I had so far, and... I decided to watch episode 3.
I was very surprised. I liked it. A lot.
It was well written, didn't stroke Jeff's ego too much, and I was impressed by the supporting cast.
I don't know if the series will last, but I will keep watching it.
At least for now.
