Certainly made ol' Henry rage enough to break the two-way mirror. But damn, his wife was such a blind bitch, even willing to cover for him, almost up until the end when Goren made her wake the hell up.

Was that before or after he hit on Eames and she called him slime? 😉😂

I thought so. Great scene.

[WendyCR72]

"Icarus" is ending on WE (with the "other" Amanda Rollins and Patti Smith as Bobby's professor friend!), and I still like seeing a peek of classic Bobby coming out as he starts yelling how Roger is a "YALE MAN! A DRAMATURG!"

Season 10 really did have the energy back. I'm sad that was it. At least the show went out on a good note...

(And the finale, "To The Boy in the Blue Knit Cap" follows next.)

[Xeliou66]

I saw the series premiere, One, last night and it’s noticeable how this show came out of the gate so strong, there were very few if any kinks that needed to be ironed out - all of the characters were themselves and the show’s format stayed the same throughout the first 5 seasons. It was notable how long the cold open was in One, but it worked, and Goren was great right off the bat. I also liked Nora Lewin’s cameo, while she was a rather bland character, it was nice to have a crossover to tie CI into the franchise. I loved how CI season 1 had so many crossovers, too bad they stopped doing that in later seasons.

I would have liked her cameo, if she hadn't given Carver the stink eye with that rage inducing line "Can I trust YOU?" to Carver. Like, just SHUT UP, Nora. Considering her wishy washy and weak decisions on the mothership.

But I would argue that you could see the cracks in the show in season 4--with Bobby no longer looking so spiffy in his suits; and maybe it was deliberate, but the...not stuttering exactly, but not concisely completing his sentences when talking to a suspect or witness.  A lot of "I...I...." or "You..you..." etc. It was more obvious and annoying in the later seasons, for sure.

One of my favorite lines in "Stress Positions" will always be Mike's sarcastic response to Deakins and Alex, after Deakins tells him they're Major Case, is "I think I'll go have some of your Major Coffee." And I appreciated the rehab job they did with Van Buren by having Deakins say that she tried to get Mike back three times, with no success; that he was a hot head, but honest.

I couldn’t tell if Nora was directing her line to Carver or Goren, because it was Goren who said that she should trust them, but yeah given that Nora was so indecisive and seemed to lack authority she came off as unlikable. But I did appreciate how they tied the show in with the Mothership at the start by having Nora appear.

No, the question of whether Nora could trust was directed at Ron, since he had told her that in this case, he did trust Bobby.

And in "Poison" I think it was, we got cameos from Lennie and Ed! But after that we got Foghorn in "In the Wee Hours", but no other cameos from the mothership.

But at least this show didn't shit upon the DA's office, even if they shat on Carver when he left. Meaning, the way he left.

It was a joke how they didn’t explain Carver’s exit.

Don’t forget about Van Buren’s appearance in Badge, but I hated that cameo, Van Buren was OOC and it didn’t make her look good that she trusted that psychopath bitch Randolph and seemed to have no issue with her beating up people etc. They botched that crossover appearance badly.

But the Briscoe/Green cameo in Poison was AWESOME!! I loved how Lennie called the commissioners office “those idiots” and then how Goren got Lennie and Ed to leak the story to the media and then when Deakins was wanting to know who talked, Goren/Eames kept their mouths shut.

And don’t forget Skoda appeared in Crazy and in a deleted scene in Tomorrow, and Olivet appeared in To The Bone. And of course ME Rodgers was a prominent character on both the Mothership and CI. But I do wish they had done more crossovers.

[GHScorpiosRule]

So I watched the first five seasons on Peacock--marathon watching. They'd show like maybe 25 second commercials...three times? But, but, after watching through season 4, like back to back, they aired them commercial free! Hee. I guess because I was marathon watching? But when I shut down for the day/night and continued the next day, it was back to watching with ads.

The cold open was probably longer because it was the pilot, and it wanted to establish just what CI was about, which was the criminal and their motivations.

But I agree the characters were strong from word go. Bobby was still more "out of the box" while Alex was the rational detective. As I said, Alex was much more "cop"/straight arrow in the beginning versus later, but then she did say Bobby was an "acquired taste", and I think - being with him for so long - that was why she eventually became "softer", for lack of a better term.

The partner chemistry seemed great from the start, too. There did not seem to be the need to wait for it to gel.

Yeah, Rodgers was practically a "regular" on Criminal Intent! Which was great. I do wish we had seen more of Skoda and the rest, though. As I once said, I know Vincent D'Onofrio raved about Julia Ormond, and she was good as Dr. Gyson. But Olivet and/or Skoda could have worked in the role of Goren's shrink, too. Oh, well.

Or, to be realistic, maybe it was thought Goren would need a newer doctor who did not ever interact with him so as to have no preconceived notions? Shrug. (Skoda did. Olivet? Not on screen at all, but I could see G/E interacting with her off screen through the years on the job.)

Yeah I wish Skoda/Olivet had appeared more often on CI, especially since CI dealt with psychological stuff, it would’ve been nice to see them pop in and consult on occasion. I wish they had kept in Skoda’s deleted scene in Tomorrow, it helped explain the psychological motivations of the killer nannies and Skoda was awesome as usual.

And yes it was awesome that ME Rodgers was on CI a lot, she’s one of my favorites, although I hated how they implied her and Ross went out together. I would love for Rodgers to come back as the ME in the Mothership season 21, although after how they crapped on Jamie Ross I’m hesitant to wish for any beloved character to return to the show.

Yeah, right now, I don't know if I want Rodgers back or a new ME, if just for the fact that if the writers shit on said ME, I'd rather it be someone I have no investment in.

I always loved Rodgers' quips whenever Goren's guesses would prove correct:

"As much as I kick myself for saying this, Det. Goren was right..."

"Color me chagrined..."

And so forth. Although in "The Extra Man" (coming up soon probably as the show is back in S1!) I liked the scene where Goren and Rodgers were both standing against a wall, looking at...was it pictures?...as they both mirrored each other's stance with arms crossed, and quipping how "DuPont's" face was made into hamburger. Alex was also there, if I recall.

And I like when she would smack Goren's ever curious hands away. LOL!

If we're discussing, crossover, I was always partial to Dr. Huang.

I loved Rodgers back and forth with the detectives, and how she would get annoyed when the detectives got too up close and personal with the bodies. She did that on CI and the Mothership. I love Rodgers.

Huang was pretty good, and he’s sorely missed on modern day SVU which could really use a recurring psych expert, but Skoda will always be my favorite psych expert.

This.

And "Smothered" is ending, with Geoffrey Nauffts as junkie Dale Van Acker. The forged letter (supposedly by Bobby's forger pal that was supposedly from Lois, his fiancé) to get Dale to break was always a clever move.

But I hate that they never show the short scene of Bobby with said forger friend! I remember Bobby checking on the friend's work in one of the interrogation rooms, asking, "How's it going?" Early Bobby with his many friends was always fun to watch.

Don't recall seeing it in ages. Just like the scene in "Purgatory" with Eames' temp partner talking about Lois (hey, another Lois!) Melago's involvement with the missing drugs [with Melago's partner walking out with his lawyer after spilling that news] is also never shown.

I guess there's always the DVDs if we want the uncut episodes. Since it seems Peacock uses the edited versions, too.

[Prairie Rose]

Maybe you guys could help me out. I'm trying to remember the episode where Goren and Eames go to some fancy dinner to arrest a suspect. Bobby just sits down and helps himself to the guy's steak! Priceless! 😂

That would be season 3, episode 20, D.A.W, that was a hilarious scene when Goren starts eating the creepy murderous doctor’s steak.

Yeah, I was happy to watch "Purgatory", as one example, thinking I'd finally see the whole episode again...and nope. Then I checked "Smothered"...and the same thing. Sigh. I know the cut scenes aren't vital per se, but they were in the original episodes, so show them!

That scene is still shown, in "The Pardoner's Tale" from S1. (Not a favorite of mine, but I remember seeing the scene!)

[Prairie Rose]

Remember Mark Linn-Baker as the perpetually awkward insurance investigator in "Probability"?

Eames: I didn't know you had an older, geekier brother.

You're welcome. Like I said, the scene isn't vital since G/E mention said forger at the end (which infers the letter from Lois to Dale was forged!), but the detail of seeing it come together and Bobby with one of his many early friends just adds a little something, I think.

As I said, the scenes from "Smothered" and "Purgatory" aired in first run, so I don't get why Peacock is fine with edited episodes.

[Xeliou66]

Poison was just on, one of my favorite episodes, the scene where Goren/Eames meet with Briscoe/Green will always be one of my favorite scenes, it was awesome to see them make a cameo on CI and I love Lennie calling the commissioner’s office “those idiots” and then Goren suggesting they leak the case to the media. It was one of the times I disagreed with Deakins, the case needed to be made public so people could be aware of the threat. I liked how when Deakins was asking who opened their mouth, Goren/Eames just kept silent.

Carver did seem to go along easily with Goren’s plan to indict the mother, which I found unusual, as Carver was very by the book, Goren’s plan to get Trudy to incriminate herself was clever but if it hadn’t worked it would’ve been a disaster.

Trudy was such an evil villain, she was ice cold and cared about nothing but opening her store. And her mom was just kind of pathetic and weak.

The actresses both appeared on the mothership before appearing on this show. Trudy’s actress was a brunette in, oh shoot—AH! “Severance” she was the designer who had just started dating one of the male victims/witnesses. And I think the actress who played the mother, played Cookie that was sort of based on the Kitty Genovese case. That twat, Talia Balsam played the defense attorney who got Cookie’s rapist off at the retrial.

Yup, you are right in both cases. J. Smith-Cameron and Anita Gillette, respectively.

She was so weird. A cold blooded murderer who wanted to open a cutesy baby clothes store. It's kind of an odd ambition for a homicidal maniac.

My favorite part of the episode is at the end when they show up to arrest Trudy at her baby clothes store and they literally have to pry her hands off the counter and drag her away. L:OL God she was a terrible person. The actress was also in that episode with Mark Ford Brady as the first victim identified who was alive. And Anita Gillette is always Catherine Willows's (from CSI) mom to me.

Eames is like "I don't want to hurt you."

Narrator: She totally wanted to hurt her.

[WendyCR72]

As I said, I know it was another character entirely, but Trudy is why, when J. Smith Cameron appeared as one of Mark Ford Brady's victims in "Endgame" in S6, I had a hard time feeling sympathy for her, initially. LOL!

Just goes to show how nasty Trudy was!

"Semi-Professional" from S1 just started on WE.

I like that one as well - Carver got a big role in the episode and it was interesting how he was called to the crime scene before Goren/Eames, and he continued to have a strong role throughout. This episode was one of the 2 CI episodes where they name dropped Jack McCoy, and they mentioned Nora Lewin as well. So I liked the heavier amount of legal stuff. But god I hated that elitist, unqualified prick Blakemore, I know Sabatelli was the criminal mastermind of the episode and he was something of a prick with a chip on his shoulder but I was hoping Blakemore would be guilty of something.

I'd like to think with his arrest, Blakemore's extracurricular activities were exposed and he lost out on the position he and Sabatelli were up for. And that his wife divorced him. (Probably not on that part since it seems some upper-crust types tend to look the other way at a spouse cheating. But I'd still like to think so.)

Bit of nit pick here. I'm watching Dead, Goren and Eames get a search warrant for Harry Rowan's garage. Carver says "I'll go with you. Let me call home first." Goren says "We're not serving it tonight, Harry needs to get a good night's sleep tonight," In the next scene, Rowan is frantically tossing his own garage, including a full chest freezer. Madly searching for a porcelain cap. His wife comes in to inquire what the hell he is doing and he tells her it's late, go to bed. Then Goren and Eames walk in and he confesses. Carver is there.

Yes, but it was the next morning. Just as Goren said. He wanted Rowan to panic, and he did. Notice when they exit the garage/house, it is morning/daylight.
