I was really upset with the cast additions. I love Chris Noth from the original L&O, but Vincent rules on this show. I know his character is sometimes unbelievable, but I think it works. The first few episodes with Noth and Sciorra were so boring!!!! Sorry, but they should get their own francise and leave CI to the originals!

I just tuned in to L&O CI and totally panicked to see that Eames and Goren weren't on. I immediately came to this site to find it was temporary, and I'm extremely relieved. :o)

The single biggest mistake David Chase ever made was killing off Sciorra in THE SOPRANOS. She was the perfect "mother replacement" for Anthony Soprano.

I fell in love with Noth from the first episode of "Law & Order" and I am thrilled to have him back. However, I can take nothing at all from D'Nofrio, who I think is an incredible quirky counterpoint to many of the "pattern" cops on TV today. I look forward to having them both to watch on my almost favorite show (I am still loyal to the original L&O and am in love with SVU). I look forward to seeing how this unusual situation will work out.

I prefer Vincent D'Onofrio. To me, he makes the Det. Goren character so much fun to watch...quirky, unpredictable and probably nuts.

Great, great news. I was hoping Noth's character would actually return to the original L&O after Jerry Orbach left... but this is the next best thing.

Chris is my favorite character on the show, IMO he's one of the better actors as well. Vincent drives me nuts, he knows everything, even stupid little things nobody else would know...
