So we finally got the final episode of wait final EVER episode of Law and Order Criminal Intent last night on Channel five, no I didn't watch it on the Universal Channel, but it wasn't quite what I expected. It was great watching Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) back on the screen even if it was for only 8 eps but there were little nuances or annoyances as to why we didn't get a proper ep introducing them back to Major Crimes. Guess they didn't really have enough time to focus on that having only 8 eps. Though the new Captain Hannah (Jay O'Saunders) did have a go at Goren in one ep telling him he put his head on the line in covering his back and bringing him back. Which explains the psychologist, Dr Paula Geisen (Julia Ormond) Goren was sent to see. Another insight into his private and public life and how it affects his work.
Well he turned that around on her when she mentioned feelings, has he ever been in love? making him think he'd hit on her which is what he told her she expected. But what I liked was where she told him about Eames and how he feels about her. He doesn't really reply in cagey Goren fashion, but he respects her. I have often thought they made a good couple. Especially if the final few minutes of the ep was anything to go by.
Goren comes out of the office in To The Boy In the Blue Knit Cap and sees Eames waiting for him there, kind of like a supporting wife more than partner. Then he called her Alex, he doesn't usually use her first name, although she calls him by his, Bobby. But those long dramatic pauses where just for a second thought he might say what he really wants to say to Eames but couldn't quite get it out. That big smile on his face! Even when he kept looking at her. Gosh it was on the tip of his tongue. Moment over she tells him they've got a case and have to get there before the FBI and I thought why can't we go on watching. Even Eames thought he had something he wanted to spill, she was smiling plenty, but this is Goren so words relating to feelings don't come easily to him and so they drove off into the sunset, still solving cases out there in New York city. Oh boy, up until the final seconds when he stared at her in the car still, come on man, spit it out..agh it was left to us, the viewers to make up our own minds as to whether they get together or not. This was one relationship I'd like to have seen blossom, romantically. Come on they were friends first, what better basis to begin a more intimate relationship on.
Criminal Intent was my favourite of the three Law and Order shows, as its name suggests it was the only one which delved into the minds of the criminals. I loved the original theme tune to the show, it was so in keeping with the theme of the show, and very mellow-ish, classical sounding even.
As for the question of getting together, in my mind, they did! It was expected.
