WendyCR72 February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 This came to me since, I guess, ion is rotating to S6 and I know the woman who examined the motorcycle in "Tru Love" will reappear in "Vanishing Act" in S7. But there were others. So I figured a thread about them wouldn't be amiss. Another I know is the blonde female cop who starts popping up in S6 when G/E would arrive at the crime scene. She seemed to stick around through S8, damned if I recall her name. And, naturally, Goren's friend, Lewis. Discuss the second string players here. Link to comment

WendyCR72 February 20, 2015 Author Share February 20, 2015 More the recurring characters who aren't BIG players, but always seem to be around at some point. A la the blonde female cop I talked about, and yeah, the woman who examined the motorcycle/"coffin" that Miles Stone was in, and others who were in and out during the show... Link to comment
WendyCR72 February 21, 2015 Author Share February 21, 2015 Am I wrong or did the chick examining the motorcycle try to hit on Wheeler? Seemed pretty obvious. 1 Link to comment
WendyCR72 July 20, 2015 Author Share July 20, 2015 Not an important post, but it fits the topic: "Dollhouse" on USA (S5) is on (Insomnia sucks) and the forensic accounting guy is the same guy that Ross directs to look into Goren's finances (which pisses Eames off ) in "Frame". Or I'm 98% sure it is. And noticed the same computer guy at MCS in S10 in "Boots On The Ground" MAY HAVE been the same guy all the way back in S1 in "The Third Horseman". If so, yay for obscure continuity. Link to comment
Shriekingeel December 22, 2015 Share December 22, 2015 (edited) I am probably the only person who enjoyed the Nicole Wallace episodes. I just like the way she gets to Goren more than any other perp (and the way Eames recognizes this). I accepted the silly plot device of making her an offscreen presence in the Michael York episode, but I will never forgive the show for bumping her off offscreen--by Martha Plimpton's ridiculous character of all people. Even for people who hated the Nicole character, that was a big middle finger from Warren Leight to the first five seasons of the show. Edited December 22, 2015 by Shriekingeel Link to comment

Apparently Rene Balcer (EP of CI for the first five seasons) agreed with that sentiment since Nicole was found to be alive, after all, on his Paris-set French [but English-speaking complete with cameos from L&O actors] CI series, Jo. And it wasn't Jo Gage who went after Nicole, but her equally nutty father, and Bobby's mentor, Declan Gage. Link to comment
WendyCR72 December 23, 2015 Author Share December 23, 2015 I will give Olivia D'Abo some credit: She did a great job in making me hate Nicole and being creeped out by her. It's just that a little of her went a long, long way for me. Link to comment
Maherjunkie December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 I feel that way about spicy food. Link to comment
WendyCR72 December 24, 2015 Author Share December 24, 2015 I feel that way about spicy food. I'd classify Nicole as more bitter than spicy! Link to comment
Eolivet January 1, 2016 Share January 1, 2016 I liked Nicole. Every Sherlock needs a Moriarty. I've always said that with all the praise Elementary (on CBS) received for having a woman Watson and a woman Moriarty, CI did both 10 (15?) years earlier. Link to comment
WendyCR72 January 1, 2016 Author Share January 1, 2016 I liked Nicole. Every Sherlock needs a Moriarty. I've always said that with all the praise Elementary (on CBS) received for having a woman Watson and a woman Moriarty, CI did both 10 (15?) years earlier. I loved the Mothership and CI. And both, unfortunately, have seemed to be overshadowed by SVU to some extent. It is what it is. But in terms of CI doing it all first, I agree. But it was also sort of disturbing at a point, Goren's sympathy for Nicole. I mean, she killed his brother (even if Frank was no prize at all). I'll admit the dynamic was twisted but fascinating early on. 1 Link to comment
Eolivet January 2, 2016 Share January 2, 2016 Watching BBC's Sherlock special last night on PBS reminded me of how much I thought CI got Nicole as a woman Moriarty absolutely right. Moriarty, to me, is the only one who almost knows Sherlock better than he knows himself and uses his weaknesses against him. But it's his lack of humanity that works against him in the end, and Sherlock comes out the victor. This was absolutely Nicole and Goren, to me. "A Person of Interest" (?? S2 finale?) comes to mind immediately in that regard. Link to comment
WendyCR72 January 3, 2016 Author Share January 3, 2016 I will say that I do agree with those here who said it should have been Goren in the final showdown with Nicole. Sure, I'm still glad Declan got rid of her, but even I admit it was Bobby who had the history and the pathos with her. I know Bobby often sympathized with Nicole, no matter how heinous. But I wonder what, if anything, could have stopped that. Seems like her killing Frank didn't necessarily curb it entirely. Maybe if she targeted his mom? Or Alex? I would have been interested to see how Bobby could have ultimately rose above the Nicole quagmire. 1 Link to comment
