Season 7 of Dick Wolf's Law and Order: Criminal Intent resumes with Detective Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) hunched over a semi-pale draft beer—probably domestic—in a New York pub.
Disturbing and complex—appropriately on normal evenings but hard to swallow on a night of a challenging Laker game—the episode follows Goren as he maneuvers through a puzzle involving a dirty narcotics officer (also suspended) and possibly the unethical cop who lost his retirement thanks to Goren pointing out his crappy cop-ping in Amends.
Tonight's TV munchies—Trader Joe's Almond in the Coconut (a fancy way of saying "Almond Joy")—sweetened the emotions a bit but quickly faded into salivating anxiety for next week's episode after a dead rat appeared in Goren's desk drawer after he was reinstated.
This is not an episode not for the faint-hearted—or at least for the hardcore Goren fan. His undercover stint may have helped him get his badge back, and a handshake by the Chief of Ds, but now it appears the brilliant Goren will need to look over his shoulder at every turn—all the while protecting his partner Eames' by not involving her in his bad blood with NYPD meansters.
Okay, no need to panic just yet. There are some things working in Goren's favor. He's obviously got "friends" in Major Case, as twice he's had help on his undercover schemes. He's also got his track record. Whether the Chief likes it or not, Goren's a closer.
In a recent Entertainment Weekly interview, D'Onofrio tells a reporter Goren won't need psychiatric help in the upcoming season, saying Goren seems "perfectly normal" to him.
I couldnt' agree more. I'm just waiting for the rest of the characters to realize he's the only sane one. Okay, except for Eames. And Logan. And Wheeler. Or Falacci. Or whomever will be Logan's partner this season.

Great article. Very upbeat, for a change. Unlike some of the other reviews for LOCI.
Thanks, Judy.
Hi, Bubba,
Thanks! I just discovered the Goodies forum and added my summer recap there. Thank you and Donna for the kind words and the read! I haven't been here since the beginning, the summer flew by! Well off to have more fun here ... Looking forward to the season opener in November.

So I'm watching Walk Hard and when Dewey's Dad comes to his hotel room to tell him his mom died, the naked dude in the background- isn't that Ethan Embry? I searched online and didn't find anything about him in the movie, but I'm pretty sure that's him..... Anyone know?
