I want other members to reply, too, though.

6. When did you first see Law & Order: Criminal Intent?Only last year, the first episode I saw was Rocketman when it aired, but I didn't know it was Criminal Intent. Then they started showing repeats on My20 late 2007 so I started watching it.
7. What made you want to watch LOCI again? (or, what's the first episode that got you hooked?)I saw some episodes before, but the one that got me liking it was "Pas de Deux", about the people who strapped fake bombs on themselves to rob banks and places.
8. Reasons why you like LOCI (Top 3/5 Reasons)1. The stories (in the criminal's point of view, like psychologically or personal reason ) and how they're not always about money or rape . They're much more interesting than other crime shows' and more fun to watch.
2. Their way of doing it (first the crime,evidence, suspects, fun in the middle, then like a twist at the end). Also, they have like things you pickup on some of the suspects, like if a suspect has a certain disorder or habit that matches a profile. Other shows have like smart-talking suspects or cops, and a bunch of courtroom scenes that get so tiresome.
3. It's smart, like you get something out of it (you feel sympathy and mercy the whole time as the character's are experiencing it and sometimes for the criminal, too) and it doesn't feel like your watching mush. Goren says a lot of insightful and knowledgable things, too.
4. It's fun and funny, like Eames' jokes or Goren's funny habits, and both of their reactions to things. And also how they trick some people (like Goren looks in one direction, the suspect looks too, and Goren looks in the opposite direction to grab something or go into a house to search without needing a search warrant) and they go undercover to make people open up more to them, and Goren pretends to have like ADD.
5. It has a base and it's unique; for example, it doesn't have a lot of characters to deal with so you can just focus on them and the story, it doesn't have flashy lighting or hip music (the one in Depths was cool, though), and making Goren have like a troubled and interesting past makes it have a base for the show. (Have you seen CSI: Miami? That show has terrible acting, flashy lighting, stupid one-liners, and all the characters are like perfect-looking, no offense).
9. Reasons why you don't like it (elements that you don't particulary like about it)
Well, the one thing that kind of bugs me is that, as much as I love Goren, they kind of leave Eames in the dark. It doesn't mean I want stories focusing on her, exactly, but she kind of seems left out. They also make her kind of mean sometimes when she doesn't need to be. They don't even include her in the descriptions of the show on the internet D: I can never watch the cake without the ice cream (Goren = cake; Eames = ice cream)
10. What do you think about the characters? (Goren/Eames,Logan/Other,Deakins/Ross or others)
Goren - He's funny, and very smart. In the earlier episodes when he yelled and did annoying stuff, I didn't like him that much, but he toned it down a bit. I like how he has sympathy for criminals that often got looked down upon, and how he gets giddy when he wants to tell someone what he knows, how he does his own thing in a funny way, and also that he's more sensitive and shy than other cops.
Eames - She'd to be fun to be around, she's like the c(k)at that follows you around. Whenever she's not around it's kind of sad. She has a sense of humor, she's very loyal to Goren, sticks by him when no one believes him and tries to cheer him up if he's down, and she's strong (like after she got kidnapped) and can hold her own.
Logan - I haven't seen him that much, but he's funny, seems fun to be around, and like someone that could cheer you up if you're down. He does funny expressions and lines like, "Sometimes you just get lucky!" or when he does that wide smile when they were in the arcade and points to Barek where the perp is behind the machine.
Deakins - He's a nice captain and helps Goren and Eames with cases and made his fair share of jokes, too, to add light to the room. He was like the teacher and they were the students.
Ross - Deakins was nice, but it seems like the detectives needed discipline or something after he left. He appears to be mean, but he's mostly just keeping them in line. I don't particularly like his hair long, though
11. What don't you like about the characters?
Goren - I don't like it when he yells loud to a suspect in the interrogation room, or when he whipsers, he just talks too much sometimes. I also don't like how he's kind of disant sometimes to his mom, brother or Eames (like when he said "back off...", talked about the case to his mom in the hospital instead of spending time, or that he didn't really care if he thought his brother died). But who knows, maybe he'll change.
Eames - I don't really like it when she disagrees with Goren about something even though she knows he's usually right about the subject, it's like "huh?". It's not her fault, but sometimes she can appear to be mean when talking to some people.
Ross - Ross can be a little annoying sometimes, like when he tells Eames "just don't let it get personal" in Rocketman.
12. What are your top 3/5 episodes? (Explain why, briefly, if you'd like)
1. Jones - I love how the guy preferred small women, and he had to kill every one of them off. Great ending, too
2. Vacancy - The method acting story was brilliant, wished it was longer.
3. Pas de Deux - I liked the story of the people faking to have a bomb on them, and how the guy wanted a new partner and the way he killed his original one.
4. Blind Spot - Loved the action in this one, Declan was funny, and it had a twist at the end.
5. I don't know yet, I haven't watched them all yet, maybe
Blink.
13. What 3/5 episodes don't you particulary like?
1. Shandeh - it wasn't like the other LOCi episodes
2. Tuxedo Hill - I'm not sure if it was this one or not, I'll have to see it again, but it was deathly boring (I don't like episodes about taxes and such.)
3. Cuba Libre - that old guy was such a pervert
14. Has anything from watching the show inspired you to do something or pursue a new interest? It made me more interested in psychology. I was already interested in psychology before the show, but watching it made it much more interesting. For some reason, it also made me want to act, not solely because of VDO but because of the topic of method acting that made it seem more interesting. It also motivated me to learn more things, not like learning a bunch of languages or something, but like it's not a bad thing (I loved learning before anyway, but I never liked reading books. I realized that it's not such a horrible thing, its just something to gain knowledge.) Also, wierdly, after watching Alex so loyal to Bobby, it made me realize that that's what a friendship is based on, loyalty and trust, even if you fight sometimes. It also made me think about other people's childhoods and how much it affects someone's life.
15. What would you like to see happen next on the show? (Either about crimes,characters, or stories) I like to see episodes about kidnapping, method actors, sadists or serial killers and psychological reasons behind a crime. Also, I would like to see Alex and Bobby less depressed than the episodes before. I don't like it when they fight when it's unreasonable. It would also be fun to see their houses, Alex's nephew or any of her family, criminals that have been put in jail (like Wally) and Nicole finally be put in jail. Also would be fun if the detectives get like a day off to go to an amusement park or something

and they stumble upon a murder or something.
16. What's your favorite quote from the show?
Here are some:
Bobby: Know any 8-year old girls who like sports cars?
Eames: *raises eyebrows* Besides me?
or
Goren: You're under arrest for the murder of Lois Romney.
Roger Jamison: You serious?
Eames: You don't see us wearing clown shoes, do you?
17. Are you a dedicated fan? (Example: Do you watch it whenever it's on, even though you saw it a bunch of times? Do you have any of the DVD's? Do you dream about it o.o?)
I watch it whenever it's on, even if I've see it 9 times. Let's see...I see about 15 episodes a week. I randomly fantasize about it,too, here are some random thoughts:
Bobby is at his desk, and apparently fell asleep reading some papers. Alex walks up to her desk and notices him (a rare sighting) so she opens up a desk drawer, pulls out a digital camera, and snaps a photo of him, while laughing quietly.
This one is just wierd: Alex turns into a cat ('cause she looks so much like one xP) and has to ride on Goren's back or shoulder when he's talking to someone. She also sneaks around someone's house while he's doing that. She can't talk, though.
18. Last but not least, who's your favorite character =P? Post your favorite pic of them!
My favorite characters are Goren and Eames =P I like Logan, too, sometimes.
Favorite picture as you can tell is this one: (It won't appear now, but it's the picture of my icon on the top left)
This seemed kind of like writing an essay about the show. It's fun to read about what other people think about the show, and getting to know about all the members, so if you have time try to do it too =)
