The season 10 premiere was plugged a bit on the ads and happened to start just as I arrived home one night from work and it was like, 'Where have you been all my life?'<br /><br />I had perhaps seen one or two episodes of this show many years before, but had forgotten about it (apart from the fact that I remembered D'Onofrio was outstanding and erm... fairly attractive). Because I have always worked eveningt, I have no time to follow long-running TV series. <br /><br />Anyway, for the last few weeks, I have been on a Criminal Intent binge hunting down every (Goren and Eames) episode and 'Family Values' was the last original Bobby episode I had left to see. <br /><br />After finding your blog, I was fortunate enough to watch all of S8 in order and it was perfect that way.<br /><br />I know what D'Onofrio was trying to do with Bobby and his 'recovery'. Although S8 had some clunkers (the scripts, some guest actors), it still made me cry on two occasions. The aria in 'Identity Crisis', and the one in 'Family Values'. <br /><br />You're right, the exchanged glances between Goren and Eames to the exclusion of Ross spoke volumes about their bond. Excellent work by all three actors. I can't believe they got rid of them in the very next episode! Anyway, I'm so thankful your blog, written a few years ago, made my virgin S8 experience an authentic one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140065606725329145.post-11246351703734345132009-08-18T15:02:17.650-07:002009-08-18T15:02:17.650-07:00Well, for the 16 episodes, I personally think it&#...Well, for the 16 episodes, I personally think it's USA's doing. I've read that Dick Wolf wants 22 eps but USA wants 16...<br />Almost all USA's shows (to not say all) have 16 or less episodes. Since CI belongs to USA now, they reduced it to 16... makes sense?

When I first started watching it and svu, I couldn't get into either, it just wasn't law and order with out Jerry, otherwise know as detective Brisco. But after watching how Goren's character reminded me much of a crude columbo, I started to enjoy it quite a bit. It's a shame this season didn't go into Goren's personal life as much, because I was enjoying seeing a crazier side of him, and how everyone essentially hates him. Hopefully they'll go back to that format a little more in season nine. By the way, does anyone know why season eight was at least six episodes short? I did not even know that I had seen the season finale, until I looked online, because I was still expecting more. I'd also like to point out that having Jeff Goldblum on the show just made me shake my head at first, until I saw the first episode with him and was very impressed. Perfect parallel to Goren, even though I will miss Chris, after watching him for many years on the original series, and then on criminal intent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140065606725329145.post-9068052152016413972009-08-10T09:14:25.674-07:002009-08-10T09:14:25.674-07:00Oh Suzanne!

Incredibly well written, insightful, and GENIUS, your blogpost has righted the wrongs of USA's discontinuity and displayed what I believe was Vincent's "intent" for his character. I will carry your water anyday!
