Considering Vincent and Kathryn did return, maybe that was true. I mean, if they wanted to leave, would they return so quickly? In any case, at least their ending was a bit more upbeat than in "Loyalty". With these sort of casting issues it is really hard to know the truth and sometimes there isn't really any simple truth. Different network executives have different agendas, the producers have their own opinions and influences and often blame the networks, and a lot of times the actors and networks simply can't reach an agreement and different parties involved can see it as both leaving and being fired (even as they spin it the opposite way in the press). The only time we really know for sure is when someone is fired very publicly and sues or when a star leaves craploads of money on the table like Ted Danson with Cheers or Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. It could be that they didn't want to sign a contract for years at the money being offered, but did want to do a proper sendoff for the fans when it was offered. It could be that USA wanted to go a different direction, saw that it didn't work and went back on their hands and knees trying to avoid a sudden cancellation for a property and producer that had delivered so much like NBC did with the mothership. I have read the conflicting rumors too and I don't think we'll ever really know.

With Bobby Goren, it's either love or hate. I fall on the love side. But he is - as he once told Eames - an "acquired taste". And the characters were based on Holmes and Watson, so Goren is the Holmes. And Goren may get the glory, but as the series goes on, it becomes clear that he needs Eames. "In The Wee Small Hours" in S5 is an example. The S6 premiere "Blind Spot" is another, as is the S6 G/E finale (as there are two teams by S5) "Endgame". And the S7 finale, "Frame".

I love seeing him in this episode with the CI characters, I like that they referenced Van Buren with Deakins calling her, and did anyone notice that the judge who Carver went to for the warrant was a recurring judge from the other L&O shows.

Xeliou66 March 22, 2017 Share March 22, 2017 Kurt was the sadistic ringleader that Logan approached with the club at the end, right? I agree he was definitely the one who ordered it, but I'm unsure if he carried it out by himself, it would seem like he wouldn't want to get his hands dirty that way, and would have one of the others do the murder. I liked how this show was willing to take on the issue of corruption and abuse of power by cops, prison guards, prosecutors and judges, a lot of shows shy away from that or make it look like the authorities are always justified if they break the rules. Not the L&O franchise, they weren't shy about tackling these issues, and as a progressive myself I like that these shows do tackle progressive issues but without being preachy, condescending or overtly political. Stress Position is a great episode, one that I can watch over and over and not get tired of. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6389-season-four-goren-and-eamesand-hi-mike-logan/page/6/#findComment-3103235

Xeliou66 June 14, 2017 Share June 14, 2017 I didn't find the story to be far fetched, with the whole Patriot Act BS ( I loved Logan's line about reading the Patriot Act under its original title : 1984 ) and the whole mass big brother surveillance that was so prominent after 9/11, I bought it. As far as the ending goes, I didn't find it that hard to believe that Goren was able to talk the guards down, for a few reasons : 1 that the guards knew they had been caught and exposed, and regardless if they killed Goren, Logan and the nurse, they were either going to get killed in the fight with Goren, Logan and the nurse, get killed by a SWAT team in the ensuing standoff or arrested for killing 4 people total including 2 detectives in the line of duty and that would be an automatic death sentence for all of them while if they surrendered some of them might have a shot at parole 2 they knew the nurse who was Logan's girlfriend, and it would be harder to brutally kill a woman that they knew so well 3 Goren and Logan were detectives and some of the guards might've been more sympathetic to fellow law enforcement personnel and 4, a couple of the guards would never have done anything wrong had they not been roped into it by groupthink and pressure from the head guard, and Goren was able to get through to that. So I didn't find it very unrealistic. I have found other endings to CI to be harder to believe where Goren is interrogating someone with money who can afford the best lawyers and the lawyer just sits in the room and watches while Goren badgers their client into confessing and never puts a stop to Goren's antics or drags their client out of the room. 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6389-season-four-goren-and-eamesand-hi-mike-logan/page/6/#findComment-3372284

Another interesting thing about that episode was that the judge who Carver went to for the warrant was Judge Alan Ridenour who also appeared in a bunch of SVU episodes as well as Chinoiserie from CI season 2, and so Stress Position had characters from all 3 major L&O shows.

I loved season 4 but it was by far the season that had the most disturbing episodes. I have to say the darkness of the cases is one of thing that made CI unique, I thought that the show got too far away from that after René Balcer left, especially in 6 and 7, the final couple of years made a return to dark, complex cases. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6389-season-four-goren-and-eamesand-hi-mike-logan/page/6/#findComment-3906735

The scene where Goren/Eames interview the sister in prison is pretty chilling. Next up was Want with sick fuck John Tagman, and Goren feeling sympathy for that cannibal freak was Goren’s worst moment IMO. Why the fuck should Goren care whether or not Tagman received a death sentence? He tortured those women in god awful ways. It’s a good case but Goren’s sympathy for Tagman ruins a lot of it for me. Now on is Great Barrier with Nicole, where she should’ve been killed off at the end, but instead she miraculously escaped again, this is the point where the Nicole storyline officially went off the rails. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6389-season-four-goren-and-eamesand-hi-mike-logan/page/6/#findComment-8280405
Xeliou66 April 1 Share April 1 Season 4 is on Charge this week Gone is an interesting episode, it’s complex but a good plot about the former chess grandmaster who had become paranoid and was trying to get money from his family - it was just coincidence that the woman had the travel brochure from the hotel he stayed at and that’s why he killed her, they had no connection and he had just descended into complete paranoia. Interesting plot and I liked how Goren/Eames got to the bottom of it and I liked their final confrontation with the killer. Collective was next and I love the scene where Goren plays with the toy weapon in the toy shop, that was absolutely hilarious, one of my favorite Goren moments. The rest of the episode is strange, about the vampire club, the story about the con artist woman who caused the original killing by the cops was interesting, but then it became about her murder and the weird vampire obsessed people and it just didn’t click for me. Tonight 4 good episodes will air on Charge - starts with Death Roe with monstrous chef Tommy - that’s a classic, and then Ex Stasis, Shibboleth and The Good Child - all strong episodes. Season 4 may be the best CI season. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6389-season-four-goren-and-eamesand-hi-mike-logan/page/6/#findComment-8329941

I won't ever watch Magnificat again. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6389-season-four-goren-and-eamesand-hi-mike-logan/page/6/#findComment-8330135

It is the darkest, creepiest and weirdest - for sure. We have Magnificat with the kids being blown up, Want with cannibal Tagman, Death Roe with Tommy putting his son in law through the meat grinder so he can keep raping his daughter, In the Dark with the “stone baby”, No Exit with the suicide pact, Stress Position with the off the books prisoners and so on. It’s an incredibly dark season but that’s one reason why I like it, sometimes the dark and disturbing cases are some of the most compelling. Magnificat is certainly horrific and the scene where that sadistic scumbag husband makes his wife sleep in the dead kids room is chilling. I’ve said before how disappointed I was with Carver for refusing to prosecute the husband - he came off as soft and gun shy, the only time I would ever say that about Carver 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6389-season-four-goren-and-eamesand-hi-mike-logan/page/6/#findComment-8330164
