Season Seven: Mike Logan Leaves...Again

[Xeliou66]

Season 7 is on Charge tonight.

Watching Lonelyville, this is a good episode, I liked the complex investigation and the reveal that the lawyer was the murderer. I liked how Logan suspected the writer was being framed and he got to the bottom of it, too bad the writer killed himself before he was cleared, he was somewhat sympathetic even though he was a kind of sleazy. I like Falacci, really wish she had stayed as permanent partner instead of the dull Wheeler. The blackmail ring was an interesting plot.

The marathon continues with the last episode airing tonight being Offense.

Lonelyville is a good one!

@TakomaSnark I find those actors who are comedians or even those who have done stand up (Larry Miller, Darryl Hammond, Stephen Colbert(!)) are really very good when playing dramatic roles.

All 5 Falacci episodes are good ones IMO, Senseless and Lonelyville are the two best but I like all 5. Too bad they went back to Wheeler.

'Smile' is such a tough watch. Gaffigan - one of my favorite stand-ups - is always adept at playing unexpected snakes

Only unexpected if you haven't seen one of his other 87 episodes in the franchise! 🙂 Much like Jim True-Frost he is so good and so likeable at these roles that the audience comes to know who it is, no matter how many twists and red herrings it takes to get there. It would have been nice if just once they turned out to be nice guys after all or framed by the real killer. That would have been a REAL twist!

They really should’ve kept Falacci, she was a really good addition and added life to the show, unlike the incredibly dull Wheeler. Offense and Senseless are both good episodes with Falacci that were on Charge tonight -

Offense has an interesting case, ripped from the headlines of the Duke lacrosse case that turned out to be a false allegation with a rogue prosecutor running the case just like the case and ADA Hoyle in this episode. The reveal of the killer kind of came out of the blue though, the detectives didn’t really solve it, they suspected Hoyle’s wife and had they not confronted the Hoyle’s with the player and his family present they might not have solved the case it seems - the player’s mom just confessed when she found out the truth that the deceased wasn’t going to testify. I didn’t feel sympathy for the mom - yes her son was being falsely accused but killing a witness is horrible under any circumstances, she deserved to go away for life. I did feel very bad for the son and husband of the killer, their lives were wrecked by Hoyle - I hope Hoyle was disbarred at the very least after this, him and his wife should both be charged for obstruction to be honest. In real life the rogue DA behind the Duke case was disbarred and faced charges, I hope the same would happen to Hoyle.

Senseless might be my favorite season 7 episode, a horrifying crime and a great investigation. Logan/Falacci were great, I liked Logan saying if he couldn’t solve the case it was time for him to quit. Logan’s interrogations of the perps were great. Ross was a complete dickwad as usual though - he insulted the detectives and yelled at Logan because he was frustrated - he treated the detectives like garbage much of the time - he was such an arrogant, condescending prick. I really can’t stand him.

Did Falacci ever partner with Nichols?

No. She was a temporary  partner (and should have been hired to  be Mike's permanent partner, as she actually had a personality) while what'sherface was out on maternity leave in real life.

Next to Eames, she was the best of the bunch. They should have kept her on.

No Falacci was just in 5 episodes in season 7. She really should’ve been kept on because she actually had personality and added some life to the show, unlike Wheeler who was very dull.
