i know the ratings weren't great but c'mon it was a law and order show. given another season i'm sure it would have gotten an audience! i have no idea why they thought they had any remotely better ideas.

Bear in mind that was the same year as The Event, The Cape, and Outsourced. The following year they made and cancelled the US remake of Prime Suspect
But I have to admit I kinda hated LOLA, pre- and post-retool. Definitely would've preferred that they NOT cancel the original, the team at that time was pretty decent

they have real mayors and governors and presidents but when jack argues in front of the supreme court they're strangely vague about any real-world correspondences to the justices -

Steven Zirnkilton, best known as the opening credits narrator for all L&O series, makes his sole on-screen appearance in this episode. He is one of the NYPD technicians conducting covert surveillance of a restaurant where corrupt politicians are dining. He has one line of dialogue: "Look at that. Do you believe these guys?"
= opening credits guy must be the one who is compiling all the footage and telling the stories for 20 years!

caught so flat-footed after 9/11, half a season before they even mention it and then it's always these awkward punch-ins, 'well with what's going on in this city…', 'nowadays people think the more information, the better'

i never noticed before, like half the episodes fontana has been in so far, he's told a witness 'we're authorized' to get information out of them. is that some kind of in-joke from farina's earlier roles?

nearly every opening in season 17 shows the victim getting killed, or alive before the body is discovered.
something something did not honor the fire.
― j., Tuesday, 18 June 2013 07:36 (ten years ago) link
season 18 is so much better than the preceding ones (back until harmon/schiff were still around). proof of the showrunner principle - rene balcer was back!
more leisurely scenes (sisto must make a difference there, the conversations he's in just seem naturally slower), and more small details, like the thing with the whistles during the blackout episode, or the larry craig bathroom-tapping scene with john doman, or the new workplace adjustments of having mccoy sticking his nose in between cutter (the new guy) and rubirosa (pre-existing relationship with mccoy, but now reporting to cutter). tricksier cases, too.

I have seen every episode of every franchise at least a dozen times (except for the season of "Criminal Intent" with Jeff Goldblum and Saffron Burrows. No.)

I like them best when they pretend to be an overbearing wealthy couple in order to get information.

Who's your favorite New Yorker, living or dead, real or fictional? Jerry Orbach. He really was Mr. New York, and people don't realize what a great Broadway hoofer he was.
