Okay, here's the Cliff's Notes version: In an early episode, while Goren was interrogating a man who allegedly assaulted petite women, Goren antagonized the guy by belittling his "manhood." Goren threw his foot up onto the table in the interrogation room and said something like, "Hey, I'm a size thirteen. What are you? An eight?" (referring to the old wive's tale that foot size is indicative of well, you know...that size)

I'm guessing that Eames used "Big Foot" as Goren's screen name when she responded to "towel guy's" Craig's list ad on Goren's behalf.

I think they meant on tonights episode, but I explained it on the previous page.

Well, now that you mention it... Yeah, it does... I love that line!

No, the West coast has not seen it yet. It is 7:50 right now, we won't watch it until 9:00 PST. I know, I know, another 70 minutes to wait.

Love the way Keira Knightley says it.....those British accents! I fell in love with the comment after I watched the movie. And Colin Firth....yummy yummy, but VDO is always 1st.
It's always a great book to read. Just re-read Jane Eyre again after Lenore and I keep talking about VDO playing Rochester. ::THUD::







Big Munch fan too.....HLOTS sets are hard to find in my neck of the woods; how many more shows can he cross over onto?






thought of you when I figured out what the boy was being fed; I bought a box of Cream of Wheat today in honor of tonight's epi.



LOVED the "Bigfoot" moniker! I really would like to know what else she put in that email. After all, you know what they say about a man with big hands and big feet........::THUD::




A good episode IMO, nice to see them together without the angst, and no Ross harrassment either!

awww so sorry, I hope I didn't spoil it for you, I though it played at the same time. So sorry, almost 10 here, I am going to bed.

Oh sorry, I guess I got my time zones screwed up....I'm not from out their. Sorry again next time I'll keep my mouth shut about stuff I don't really know

I thought it was a good episode too, but not great.

Regardless of the episode, you made the right choice. Eat piping hot with milk and brown sugar and all will be right with your day.

Oh, don't worry. I came to the site on purpose to read comments of people who had already watched the episode.
It makes the wait shorter.
Now I am really psyched to watch "Bigfoot"
By the way, I like that better than Bullwinkle!

I used to have satellite, then I would have watched it at the same time as the East Coast. We changed to FIOS recently, so I am getting used to the new schedule.

I love my satellite on Sundays.

Oh good I'm glad I didn't mess it up for you. I know what you mean, I don't see it till Thursday but I'm on here reading everyone's posts anyways, It's a really bad habit that I doubt I'll be able to break!

Wow! you do have a long wait!!
Well, nothing can ever spoil it for me. I love knowing tidbits here and there.
Then on Monday, I try to get on the site from work. I may be too busy tomorrow, oh well, hard to catch up with all the posts.

Well I'm trying to work on not complaining so much about not seeing it till Thursday for a couple of reasons:
1)At least I get to see it, when the show moved to USAnetwork I had a great fear I wouldn't get to see it at all
2)All the Other Canadian's wait to see it! So why should I complain about it?
3)At least I don't have to wait for NBC to show it, some people have to wait 2 weeks!
4)In the UK they haven't seen all (possibly Any i'm not sure) of season 6, so I'm really not that hard done by.

But I'm an impatient person who likes complaining sadly so It's not going so well for me on the whole, not mentioning thing....

Sorry, I wasn't ignoring you, sweetie. I had to go back and rewatch the episode cuz I missed the "bigfoot" thing. I caught it this time.

Anyway, I guess everyone filled you in on the times. Yeah, I'm in Missouri. We get it at 8:00.

oh yeah, i know alllll about the size 13s!!! i just didn't catch the bigfoot reference. hilarious. love it love it love it!!!

Exactly...no other way that I'd eat Cream of Wheat! lol





All we need is for Quaxo to come up with a new pic with "Bigfoot" for in his or her sig......loved the "moose and squirrel" one done after "Betrayed".

I enjoyed this episode, it was a good show, and I'll watch it again tonight before I give my feedback. Goren & Eames worked better than last ep, especially toward the end. But OMG, the last several minutes had me biting my nails! And Bobby is somewhat almost back to his old self, but you could see the Mommy-angst in his face, voice and actions in the last scene.

I just loved this episode-it was almost like an old Goren/Eames episode-nice to see that once in awhile-obviously was filmed in the cold weather sometime-thought Jessica Walters played a great role-I loved the ending, I really worried about how it was going to end-
And Eames making up Bigfoot for Goren to lure the guy-that was so great-
And yes nice to see Vincent clean shaven sometimes, but hair was too short-need more curls-
Regi.

I would like to handle Bigfoot.

As a total shipper, it looks like Eames totally remembers and has on her mind those size 13's. I think that goes back to season one. Interesting that Bigfoot was the first name that came to her mind.

You could tell that Queen Beeyotch M-I-L wasn't setting too well with him....flashbacks to Frances?
I'm glad the aria was longer than one minute; nice to see an idea of what a negotiator has to do in these types of situations.

Yes Jryan, I agree-he slammed her hard against the wall but his remark about them having children explained it all-
Regi.

I hate to say this because I watch all the episodes not only the Goren/Eames ones and I have to admit that I am going to miss Logan and his sarcasm but I wish that Vincent and Kate could do all the episodes-
Still think if they had an extended supporting cast like in SVU, they could do it-
Regi.

I've been thinking that too, for a long time. How about a Munch cross-over, too?

Well, darn! Hope I can find a listing for this NEXT WEEK.....we're traveling all this week and it sounds like I missed a pretty good epi.

Why not call Goren "Bigfoot"? It's not just his feet that are big, his hands, his height of 6'4"...seems right to me to call him that.

I'm so jealous.....

Uh......handling Bigfoot..........

Nooooo... it was "a wide 9".... as in 9 inches... the wide is a sort of a circumference indication.... it's um.... related to shoe size but......

We're on the same page now, right? lol

So , so , here's the old goren go and of course eames . I read your comments so far and i'm not that curious to see the epi as i was 3 weeks ago when ''purgatory'' aired , i guess i'm more for the angsty goren . it's nice for you to have a good episode although it's wonderful when it's a great one and i missed it and i try to put the pieces of the puzzle from your comments to get an impression about all this. Anyway , what's the name of the following epi. with goren /eames team?

Not a bad episode at all, but I admired the BigFoot user name of Goren's

I liked this episode, it's not the "greatest ever" but it was a nice change of pace. I think Alex got a little too much enjoyment out of pimping Goren out on craigslist. I might have to think of a banner or two...

Man, I really felt sorry for Marla... she definitely can get some sympathy if her mother in law takes the stand! I don't think Bobby was too forceful, he's dealing with a lot of adrenaline being held at gunpoint, so it would be understandable that he'd be a bit jumpy.

Hey , i heard you talking about siren call epi , here's another one when our dear bobby is in the line of fire ..has he again that mommy angsty look on his face?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=AMoUHdo4IJU

I enjoyed the episode. Goren was awake, clear-eyed, moving well, very with-it. A change from this season for sure. If that episode was supposed to follow Untethered, I can see why they waited to air it.

Did anyone notice he did wear that gray suit with the stripes. Looked good in the black one though.

I loved the scene when Mr. 9 wide came up to him. He he said to Bobby something like "I would like to thank you" I almost died. Just knowing that the guy WAS interested. I bet Bobby couldn't wait to show him that badge to end it. Nice light-hearted moment that hadn't been seen in a very long time.

Going for awhile to stick my head in the freezer.....




Quaxo, I can't wait to see a "Bigfoot" banner....love your other ones! I thought of your banners as soon as the Bigfoot part of the epi was on. If I was on a jury, Marla would get a major sympathy vote from me, I've been there with having a Queen MIL.





You could tell Goren was doing his best, but looked uncomfortable. We need to see more of the light-hearted scenes; I love my Bobby-angst, but once in a while comic relief is needed, right?
That's OK Bigfoot, you come to the Goddess and she'll take very good care of you! lol

Wait wait wait a min, I knew a shipper would go that way! The guy put in his message about being a "wide nine" don't know if he was talking shoes or something else. Eames said she would make sure he was his type, so that's why the "foot" reference. No shippyness there. Geez. lol.

No man trolling for gay sex would brag about wearing size 9 shoes.

Some might because they are saying what part of the relationship they want...

This isn't the first time Goren has directed someone wielding a gun away from Eames (and in this case, children) and at himself.

I know this ep was shot before their big blow up, but I'm wondering if Eames remembers at all that Bobby has saved her ass more than once too. Or is she just resentful and envious of his chivalary and his ability to talk down a lunatic? I'm betting the second option.

Overall, not a particularly memorable episode. I want them to get back to the angst too...



Bobby seemed more bemused by Queen Beeyotch than anything. His mother wasn't a snob, she was just mentally ill.



Yeah, this is how I love me my Bobby--he even looked a bit slimmer, not near so exhausted as he has been, dressed in business suits, for the most part shaven and groomed. Geez, no wonder the gay guy was interested....

you don't really think the size shoe has anything to do with the size of a man's member do you? lol.

It would seem that Eames does. She said to Goren: "I'll make sure you're his type!" (Loved that expression on his face)

I thought this episode was all right. I had high hopes for it, so maybe that’s why it didn’t deliver like I was expecting. I have no complaints with anyone’s acting, and for the first time this season, I have no problem with what any of the characters did or said. My only complaint is that the story itself seemed to lack the CI depth.

Once again, I immediately knew who the bad guy (woman) was. In every episode since the strike the perp has been obvious and I had them pegged, usually, by the first commercial set. I guess I was expecting a more multifaceted story line. Grandma was a mean, nasty, *#$! and the daughter in law was a desperate pleaser. I knew one of them did it and since Granny was so concerned with what was appropriate behavior and appearances I figured it wasn’t her. Then, when Bobby noted she couldn’t be far from her personal toilet I knew it wasn’t her.

A few things I not only liked, but LOVED in this episode:
1) No confrontation within the department. No one was edgy, pouting, or pissing matches. THANK GOD!
2) Eames and Goren working as a team, not just as two people on a team.
3) They were funny! A couple things struck me as funny. When Eames setting up Goren on Craig’s list and calling him Big Foot. Also funny, was Goren noticing Granny had to go the bathroom when she was squirming all around.

Nope. But that is the conventional wisdom and it was a sex trolling ad. Not someone looking for love, someone looking sex without strings. It would be like a woman writing an ad saying, "Flatchested and married looking for meaningless sex". It might be the truth, but it's not how you'd advertise yourself, yanno? You mention things that you think will attract what you're looking for. "Athletic and sexy looking for NSA fun with same."

That was my point.

Gatepromise, just to comment on your observation about Bobby redirecting a perp holding a gun,
someone on another board brought up a good point. You have about 8-10 toddlers in a room. You need to get them up quickly and quietly and get them to follow you, just as quickly and just as quietly out of the room to safety. Of the two of them, who do you think those kids are more likely to follow unquestioningly?...The big scary dude or the chick who looks like a soccer mom?

Once Eames gets those kids out of the room, she has to stay with them until back-up arrives. If Marla shoots Bobby, she could shoot the two teachers and then the kids.

One of the main criticisms I have about this episode is the unoriginal ending. It was simply a redoux of Siren Call and that other episode where Bobby was in a hostage situation in a motel with a man and his kid(s). I understand that there was a writer's strike, but it's like they're quilting together bits and pieces of old scripts, or scripts which they've borrowed from SVU or the mothership.

I loved the Sasquatch blog... lol.

AMEN Everyone refers to the quirky genius but I haven't him lately. That is what the character of Goren is known for. It seems odd not to have it there and makes the show kinda "sameold sameold."
I want the old kooky Goren back
Nila

Oddly enough, kids have never reacted to Goren like he's a big scary dude. They have always responded to him like he's a big teddy bear, someone who will protect them, someone they feel safe with. Kids are never afraid of him--bad guys are, but not kids. Their instincts are right on.
Whoever was with the kids would get them off the premises, not hang around with them to be shot if Bobby failed to talk down the psycho.
Bobby put himself in danger, once again, while Eames did the girly thing. I'm sure she's forgotten that completely while she stews about how she's "lied for him and covered his ass..."



In the new TV Guide article about Bobby, VDO remarks that he doesn't want Goren to be so weird that he wouldn't be allowed to be a cop. They may feel that they let him get a little too much out of hand and now have to reel him back in a bit. I'm sure we'll have more of his quirks back--just not all of them, all at the same time.

You're right, Goren is good with little kids. He's also good with psychos. He's the one with all the experience handling them and the background in profiling. Of course he'd be the one to go in. He's the one with the best chance at a positive outcome.

As for Eames doing the girly thing... you are seeing her through some very different glasses then I ever have my friend.

I hadn't seen her as girly, not to mention whiney and insecure, until her histronics in Purgatory.
Friend.

I watched an awful lot of Law and Order, in its' various incarnations, this weekend. Olivia's great, very feminine, compassionate and strong. I love Barack, because she's streetwise and has her own contacts. I like Wheeler too--she has a sweetness about her that tempers her smart mouth. There's others I like too, but in comparison to all of them, Eames just doesn't measure up. I hate the way she's written--about as interesting and unique and three dimensional as jello. This new ep just reminded me of it all over again.

Yes, saving hostages and leading a backup team to stand by in case things escalate for Bobby is so girly I'm surprised most women don't do it every month.

LOL

How was the new episode? Good, bad, so-so?

Haven't watched it, though I did get off early enough to watch it, but totally forgot about LOCI.
