So, I just watched Chris Noth's last episode of L&O:CI and I'm left wondering what it all means. I mean, when he left L&O original recipe there was a definite reason for his leaving, but this time it's left so up in the air that there is no resolution.
Are they going to follow up on his partner's fiance or just drop her altogether? Is Mike Logan going to join the priesthood?
My Mike Logan would *never* do that.
Granted, it'd be because being my consort would give him little time to contemplate, but IJS.
They really left it up in the air. Do they do season long arcs? I'm imagining one with the Lesley Hope character as the big bad. They can't leave Logan's partner in the shit like that, can they?
(Although, Mike Logan, Private Eye. . . that could be fun.)
Is Mike Logan going to join the priesthood?
I suspect he's going to retire. He certainly has enough time on the job to get full benefits. Dick Wolf doesn't seem through with the character either so maybe Mike Logan, PI, is a possibility down the road.
(My favorite bit from that article is the Jerry Orbach quote.)
Dick Wolf doesn't seem through with the character either
"In the Gentlemen's entertainment industry there are two kinds of people. The strip-club owners who hire the strippers, and the strippers who dance nekkid for cash. These are their stories."
Well, he is doing Law & Order: London. Maybe Mike will cross the pond.
I disagree with Wolf on one point. He
did
have an indispensable actor, Jerry Orbach. He's the reason I kept watching even though the Thompson era.
wrod. Uncle Lennie was the shit.
Of course, writer-wise, I disagree with Dick Wolf a lot, because characters mean little to him. But since I'm nothing from nowhere and Homicide's been off for ten years, he wouldn't give a flying shit what I think.
