...I actually missed the beginning of a Goren and Eames episode of LOCI. It was Father's Day, the kids were over and the granddaughters were running around. Made a lot of food, ate a lot of food and by the time I got done with my bath and got my happy ass back to the den, it was 9:02 p.m. I forgot the show was going to even be on. My husband has it automatically scheduled to record for me and that's what tipped him off as the television set informed him he was taping a program. He looked and was surprised it was LOCI and he was even more surprised that I was completely unaware.
All good obsessions must come to an end and this one is slowly starting to become a snorefest. I am officially watching just to see Vincent D'Onofrio. Good thing I did. He looked good. Shorter hair, no facial hair - well the stubble but that's Goren's trademark so I expect it. At least I can see all of that gorgeous face so I'm pretty happy. The longer hair was nice when he was younger but as he gets older, I find the short hair to be more flattering.
Case file was okay but not enough to make up for the lack of personal for Goren and Eames. Good thing was Captain Ross got more face time at last!!! Everyone seems to be getting along which is nice but the lack of anything else is boring. I think I'm just done with this format. Been there, done that, next???
Ah well, the only reason I'm glad Vincent is hanging in there with this albatross is because I get to see him more regularly. I live in the middle of nowhere so those independent films he does that I'm sure I'd love if I got to see them, would take forever for me to be able to see.
So, I do hope LOCI goes one more season but if it doesn't, I'm not going to weep. It's a shame when shows that are most excellent carry on longer than they should. Homicide lumbered along one season too many and it was sad. Six Feet Under ended at a perfect time. I was getting a little worn out by all the angst. And it will always be the best show ever on television as far as I'm concerned.
Oh well, life goes on. Right now I'm more entertained by Goldblum episodes but that's because he's new and he got the better writers.

Sounds like Goren/vdo had more energy in this one, How many more Goren episodes to go then?
Someone on The Reel said they were fed up with the "religious" emphasis in stories. Its true that angle has been done to death,unless they developed new insights.Why cant they come up with new ideas, and new ways of doing stories, shift the format which is stale?Is all this what interests Wolf I wonder because we see it alot in his other shows...also evil mothers?
Don't know how much input he gives on actual storylines. How characters are developed, maybe. I'm thinking being the soulless being that he is, he probably got fed up with the character development and hired writers who clearly have no clue about how to write in ANY personal character info for Goren or Eames or Ross on that half of the stories.
We were promised Eames and her sister and got nothing. I'm guessing perhaps the scene sucked because the writing did or something.
The only episode that showed anyone as an individual was the first one with Goren apparently healing. We're apparently supposed to be content with that.
It looks like Eames gets some personal stuff interfering in a case next weekend, according to the promo :)
Yes, it does! I want to be excited but the whole Eames' sister thing makes me wary. But thanks for pointing that out. :-)
