A Picture to Sum Up My Thoughts of The Season Finale

 

Ha Ha. So I guess I should quickly explain. After the episode ended, I posted a tweet on twitter that said: "Bobby, Y U NO push Alex against the SUV and take her right there?" Apparently I cracked a few people up. People know I'm a shipper; it's not a secret and I certainly don't try and hide it. Anyway, @Kyasurin_Chan made this for me. You kind of have to be on Twitter to understand it, but nonetheless I love it. Completely sums up my thoughts. =)

As far as being disappointed (with the ending), I wanted to be, but the way Goren and Eames were looking at each other...well, HELLO! No one can deny that they saw something there. If you missed it, you either had your eyes closed or you're officially blind! Just saying.

One last thing:

Happy 52nd Birthday Vincent!!!

One More To Go: My Thoughts on LOCI

As most of you know, Law and Order: Criminal Intent is coming to an end once and for all. For me it's a little hard to imagine the show ending; it's doing so well and the fans want more. I can tell by the blog posts, the comments on Facebook and the tweets on Twitter that people want more LOCI. But then I think about all we, as fans, have been through the past couple years and I feel as though it's a good thing. I'm sick of being jerked around and getting my hopes up that there may or may not be another season, that this and that may happen, etc. What really made me lose respect for...(I'm honestly not even sure who to blame here) is when that Fire Sale happened. Really? After ten years that's how you want to go out? Everything you can fit into a box for $5. I must say, that really pissed me off! I'm still angry about it.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm happy it's ending. I can honestly say it feels like a final closure I didn't know I needed until now. Once next weeks episodes ends, I'm going to [try] and take a deep breath and be okay with it. I'm sure there will be tears, confusion and possibly even some anger, but I'll get over it eventually. As long as the ending is written well, I'll be happy. I don't want some weird, crappy ending that leaves me even more angry and wishing they would have left well enough alone way before they started season 10.

And I've been preparing myself for the end for awhile now. I really didn't expect it to be renewed for another season, but you never know. Nonetheless, they finally shot the last episode and all was where it should be. But then this Fire Sale comes about and they're all of a sudden going back to re-shoot the last episode. I have a feeling it's because they knew they weren't coming back. But, I mean, hello! It's got me wondering now what they changed. And, of course, the shipper in me is hoping for the best.

I don't know if anyone understands what I'm saying, but I swear my anxiety is worsening because of this damn show!

As far as this season is concerned, I haven't posted anything since it started but it seems to me people are loving it. What do you all think? Personally, I love the sessions with the shrink. It's kind of funny, really, because I thought I'd hate them. But I don't. I look forward to them every episode. I'll admit, though, that I haven't watched last weeks yet. I'm just so...flustered with everything that I'm kind of...temporarily paralyzed when it comes to LOCI. I can hardly watch the episodes, I can't read fanfic...and don't even ask me how my writing is coming along.

Anyway, I could continue to ramble, but I better stop. I have some theories as to how it's going to end...especially the way Goren is walking out of the building and Eames almost in tears again. But I guess we'll just have to wait until next week to see what happens. This week is going to go by so s-l-o-w. Again, I can't believe it's over, but I'm relieved in a way that it is.

Here are some screen caps I took off Spoiler TVs Promo for Episode 10.08 - To the Boy in the Blue Knit Cap:

Hail and farewell, Law and Order: Criminal Intent!

Goren: You Don't Know What I Need...

This entire blog post is dedicated to one line in the episode Endgame when Goren says to Ross: "You don't know what I need. And don't tell me who I am. You don't know who I am. And don't tell me how I think."

To me this is such a strong scene for Vincent's character. The way he reveals his feelings - or if you think about it - lack thereof. His anger covered all other emotions. Perhaps he was hiding in his shell for fear of being sought out, revealed, understood, ridiculed for being who he is, etc. You name it, I've thought about it because I love this scene. And when he told Ross not to tell him what he needs, who he is or how he thinks, you have to wonder... In my personal opinion, I don't believe Ross every really understood him. Maybe to a certain point, but he just didn't get him. For me, I saw a lack of trust towards Goren that I hated. I don't think Goren was defensive, per se, but I definitely heard that Goren roar that could be seen as a 'back off' to his own captain. I have to agree with him because, really, who is Ross to assume he knows what Goren needs? His boss? So what.

As a person that is known to be quite complicated like Goren, I too can say it's very frustrating when people pretend to know who I am or what I'm thinking. In fact, I believe I've said some words similar to his before...

I have a slide-show at the bottom of screen caps I took as the scene plays out. There are many pictures of Ross I skipped, but you get the point. The dialogue is as follows (note: all pictures are in order):

Ross: He's toying with you. Now you're personally invested. He's got you exactly where he can control you.

Goren: He's not in control of me. I can handle him.

Ross: No, detective, you don't need this in your life right now.

Goren: You don't know what I need. And don't tell me who I am. You don't know who I am. And don't tell me how I think.

(long silence)

Ross: I'll just tell you this, you're off this case.

(Ross exits the room and Eames goes after him to persuade him to change his mind)

Note: The first picture starts where the title at the top says Endgame.

Goren's Back

This is more a less a challenge from Criminal Intent Musings. What's the challenge? If you have a favorite picture of Goren's back, post it on your blog and then return to Criminal Intent Musings' blog and add your link so everyone can enjoy.

It sounded simple enough, I knew the exact shot I had in mind because it's always been a favorite and I love this episode. Well, it turns out I didn't have a picture of it. So I ended up buying the episode, Depths, on iTunes and then spending hours and hours doing screen caps. One screen cap turned into another and before I knew it, I had hundreds of screen caps of him!

Anyway, here is the picture I chose:

 

And because I can, I just have to add one more:

  

Well, it is a picture of his back...side. =)

Size 13 Prompted by Jones

People seem to love to talk about Vincent's size 13's and as I sit here at this very moment, I can't help but smile at the fact that I do too. I grin like a fool in love every time I see his feet - or for that matter - every time someone even mentions them in passing (dare I say no pun intended). I swear I don't have a foot fetish, but after the episode Jones, well, it's his fault we've all come to love his feet! The thing I find even more amusing is that he knows we do! He's not stupid, he's not ignorant, he knows!

It doesn't come as a shock to me that people are aware of the sheer size of him. I've taken notice as have all of you. The size of his feet, for me anyway, became well-known (practically a celebrity in themselves) after the Jones episode aired. But I have to ask you, did you ever sit back and think about the actor, Griffin Dunne, that played Henry Talbott? That poor man! I know it's just acting, but I seriously wonder if that had any affect on his relationships with women. After the small feet and hands comment by Goren, well, hello!!! I mean the guy is small! Oh, to see the behind the scenes for this episode! LOL

Anyway, to point out some of my favorite screen caps from this episode, I put together a little collage so to speak. You know the scene it entitles. Enjoy and hopefully smile. =) I'm sure I will actually post pictures of his feet as time passes, but I wanted to keep this strictly dealing with this episode.

The words: snug fit, tight missile and I wear a 13 come to mind here. LOL

Wishing You A Better Thanksgiving Than Bobby Had...

First of all, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

And because I just have to mention Vincent one way or another, I hope you have a better Thanksgiving than Bobby did in the episode The War at Home.  Vincent, where ever you are, Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Here are some pictures of our poor man from the episode TWAH. Best wishes everyone!
