I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

That would be pretty damn hard to fake. It would have taken a lesser organ for me to think she might still be alive. I hope she's gone. I was one of the people who tried to vote her off the island, back when they had that stunt ending.

I tried to watch the episode, but was constantly distracted by things happening here on the homefront. Was the heart DNA tested or something? Not that I really care -- I detested Nicole, and I was so, so tired of the character. I grew tired of the way she kept reappearing with magical powers to flummox Bobby and scamper off into the night again, laughing over her shoulder. But it does seem odd that they'd write her off off-screen.

But you're right, that wrapped up the mentor, mentor's daughter, brother, paternity question, and Nicole, all in episode. Tidy.

Yes, the heart was DNA tested and it was her heart.

I know she was supposed to be Goren's Moriarty, but Moriarty only shows up twice in the Sherlock Holmes stories. I think a super-villain is hard to maintain if you're not in comic-book land. (I say that as a person who is very fond of comic-book land.) Even then, Moriarty was supposed to be the mastermind of a great criminal enterprise, not a sociopath who largely worked alone.

eta: It also used the Ross-Rogers affair that's been hinted at all season. It was a continuity-gasm of massive proportions.

Was it a season finale? (I'm usually more aware of these things, but I haven't been paying proper attention to the L&O franchise lately. I think I'm suffering from L&O fatigue.)

It was really creepy AND loose-ends tying up. Does Goren really not know where his nephew is? (That would be the only loose end left.)

I watched it this morning and what a creepy way to start out a day.

I'm pretty sure Goren doesn't know where his nephew is. Donnie's mother said she hadn't see him for a year. I think he's been missing since he broke out of jail.

That must have been Warren Leight's last episode as writer and showrunner, before he left to produce In Treatment. He pretty much cleaned the slate for the new guy.
