Criminal Intent Scared Crazy (2001–2011) Online

This was the worst propaganda piece I've ever seen on this show in five years, and I've seen a few. They are always Left Wing, of course, because that's where Law & Order and its star actor lean heavily but usually it's not this heavy-handed.

The whole show turned out to be - not a story about a murder by some computer geek against other one from a competing company - but a tirade against "torture against terrorists at Guantanamo Bay." The last 10 minutes was nothing but one speech after another by Det. Groren" (Vincent D'Onofrio who, reportedly, needed psychiatric help after the last Presidential election!). It was so in-your-face that it was embarrassing to watch. Where was the subtly?

Memo to Law & Order writers: give us the crime case, not your politics.

Anyway, DJ Qualls was good as "Robbie Boatman," as was Jennifer Van Dyck as "Dr. Katrina Pynchon." Other than that, this was a ridiculous episode designed for one purpose: what I stated above. It was not to give us what it is supposed to: a crime story.

Shrinks should help people to restore their senses. They have to heal them from psychotic behavior. What if one of them experienced what happen in Guantanamo interrogation room? Technique such as expose inmates long time in the dark, with out loud music. It could make you feel cranky because it goes against a psychologist ethic. Anyway she tries to use this kind of procedure with a regular patient (a shy nerd unable to hurt a fly) and the outcome is easy to figure out. The poor guy (DJ Qualls) didn't deserve to be treated like a guinea pig.

Anyway I can't imagine an angry neighbor throwing a vending machine at me just because I like listening to the house music or my baby boy cries out loud.

I will not go into whether the writers exploit and/or dodge certain issue. I will write about what I know for sure:

1. ccthemovieman-1: I read your reviews—I dig your dig-deep writing style, from CSI New York to Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Your writings walk me through episodes I am about to watch: well, I am binge-watching these days and only catching up on shows after I graduated college 3 years ago (yeah, lots of surprises of course, for example—D'Onofrio is old, and let's not get into the look of "Friends" Cast)

2. I am missing out on a masterpiece: Vincent D'Onofrio's passionate work as Detective Robert Goren—I have only started watching by December 2015. D'Onofrio is a strong, silent, shy actor—the type that's misunderstood most.

3. If you are angry with the Writers for this particular episode, then you should write about the Writers—and the Producers' decision to air it, instead of referring to a mind-numbing noise such as whether/or not D'Onofrio suffered from psychotic breakdowns. Even if it is true—with the world-class work that D'Onofrio pulled off to bring Detective Robert Goren alive—a sharp, subtle, searching-mind brilliance: it is expected that the work will take its toll sometimes. Remember Heath Ledger?

4. D'Onofrio: I would like to thank you. Your work as Detective Robert Goren is an unparalleled cinematic celebration of your haunting- hypnotic eyes and heroic deliverance of dialogs with—in many, many, scenes, deep-distinct human touch (http://criminalmaster.proboards.com/thread/3481/actor-line-airport)

I have to say that I was a bit confused by the episode here. Not sure in the end if Major Case and the New York County DA's office wasn't going to come up short if this ever got to court.

An employee of one computer company is murdered and the murder in fact is taken from the film Sleepers where a huge cart is pushed down on the victim as he was on subway station stairs.

This episode has nothing to do with business rivalry. The perpetrator D.J. Qualls is a brilliant programmer who has issues, extreme paranoia. Treated by Jennifer Van Dyck, Qualls is used as some kind of lab rat for her other job, working for the army at Guantanamo interrogating prisoners.

Qualls is recommended for psychiatric care which was the humane and right thing to do. But I doubt that Courtney Vance will get a conviction here for any number of reasons despite the efforts of Goren and Eames to link Van Dyck to the murder.

Just won't wash in real life.
