Primetimer April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Which role is worthier of Vincent's D'Onofrionics: Criminal Intent's Holmesian flatfoot, or Daredevil's gravel-voiced crime lord? Read the story Link to comment
swimmyfish April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Det. Alexandra Eames, who's quite a bit better with people than he, always has his back, and keeps her highlights game tight. I cannot even tell you how profoundly I support this statement. Eames forever. And I'm surprised at the resolution of the D'Onofri-off! I don't usually go in for the superhero shows, but captial-D's involvement in this one really has me intrigued. 2 Link to comment
Misanthrope April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Deakins wasn't "randomly" wearing an eyepatch. The actor had Bell's Palsy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_palsy 1 Link to comment

EAG46 April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Jamey Sheridan, the actor that played Capt. Deakins, had his illness written into the show. Also, he looked damn sexy with the eye patch but that's just my opinion. 2 Link to comment
attica April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 I love everything about this post. And I'm immediately sympathetic to the set crew, who are gonna earn every dime of OT rebuilding the scenery that VDO is gonna chew. 3 Link to comment
Bretley April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Jeez, the first few times I read that as Eames kept her headlights game tight, and I couldn't figure it out. "Wait, was Eames always nipping out? Wasn't she usually wearing a turtleneck sweater and a blazer? Wha?....Oh HIGHLIGHTS, derka." 1 Link to comment
Sarah D. Bunting April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 I don't recall any of the lady detectives on CI smuggling peas, actually. 1 Link to comment
attica April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 I'd say she could have trimmed her bangs a tiny bit shorter than she ever did (that's a longtime bee in my own bonnet). But nothing wrong with the 'lights, ever. 1 Link to comment
cassandle April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 I generally don't care one way or another about Jeff Goldblum but I lost all interest in CI when he was in and Goren was out. I loved that crazy, library-card-carrying giant. And Eames was seriously the best. I'd take that partnership over Benson and Stabler any day. 4 Link to comment
Lorimac April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 But would either Kingpin or Goren beat john Large - the miserable bastard dying between the subway cars on Homicide? Hmmmmm? Now there's a VDO role to be beat! 3 Link to comment

WendyCR72 April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 But would either Kingpin or Goren beat john Large - the miserable bastard dying between the subway cars on Homicide? Hmmmmm? Now there's a VDO role to be beat! Actually, his name was John Lange, but this is a great question! To be fair, if I found out I was a goner once my body was unstuck, I'd be one nasty asswipe, too! LOL! (Seriously, that was a great episode. No wonder it was nominated for a Peabody. And how funny that the guy who pushed John played a perp on CI in the first season, "Semi-Professional".) 1 Link to comment
millennium April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 Deakins wasn't "randomly" wearing an eyepatch. The actor had Bell's Palsy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_palsy I had Bell's Palsy a few years ago, a result of Lyme Disease. It was pretty weird, let me tell you. At first, the left side of my torso went numb. I thought I had pulled a muscle. As days went by, I began to notice that my mouth wasn't moving properly, I couldn't curl my tongue anymore (I'm one who can normally) and I was unable to make my lips whistle. Then the whole left side of my face went offline. Everything returned to normal after about a week of oral antibiotics, but the full course was 30 days. Damn ticks. I narrowly avoided a spinal tap and reporting to a hospital on a daily basis for IV antibiotics. My vote is for Bobby Goren. What I loved about VDO's portrayal of Fisk is that despite his imposing size and appearance you could always see the insecure fat little boy just below the surface. 2 Link to comment
TimetoShine June 2, 2015 Share June 2, 2015 I hope it's OK to post this here. I have to say: as much as I loved Goren (and I loved that character, or at least the first 5 years of that character) I hate Fisk. I can't even stand to hear VDO speaking during the show. Th guy talks way too much. I think Fisk is the only thing I don't really like about this show. Luckily, there's a lot of other stuff to love. Link to comment
