Maybe the photos aren't doing him justice but...Colm Meaney looks like he took one too many trips through the transporter.

I know its a shocker but someone over at nbc.com found the update button and updated the NBC LOCI site Well, not entirely. The site lists the next new episode as "Great Barrier" on September 18!
Someone at NBC.com needs to wake up from their long autumn nap.

I don't think so. It's always been the VDO/Goren show. Now we have Noth/Logan. I understand that the network wants to appeal to the female audience.

The network wants to appeal to the 18-49 demographic, both men AND women. That's the demo that counts with advertisers, and the more the better, regardless of gender. It's foolish of them (and insulting to fans) to downplay Erbe and Sciorra.

futon critic.comThursday, November 3, 2005 NBC'S LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT TWO-HOUR MOVIE SPECIAL TO FEATURE VINCENT D'ONOFRIO, CHRIS NOTH, KATHRYN ERBE AND ANNABELLA SCIORRA, NOV. 6, 9-11 P.M. ET/PT Released by NBC"Every now and then, a crime comes along that comes to act as a prism on contemporary society," says Executive Producer Rene Balcer. Law & Order's Fred Thompson Guest Stars NEW YORK -- November 3, 2005 -- In an unprecedented two-hour movie special, NBC's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" features both alternating series leads ? Detectives Goren and Eames (Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe) and Logan and Barek (Chris Noth and Annabella Sciorra) -- in a story inspired by media headlines involving a missing teenager, (Nov. 6, 9-11 p.m. ET/PT). "Every now and then, a crime comes along that comes to act as a prism on contemporary society," says Rene Balcer, Executive Producer, "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." "The murder that inspired this episode is one such crime. We were fascinated by the way in which the murder was exploited by various journalistic and political interests -- and even I'll admit by us since we based an episode on this crime." A media frenzy ensues as the four Detectives search for the teen, engulfing them in a political maze that ultimately reveals past history between Goren and Eames, as well as personal information about Goren's mom. Says D'Onofrio, "viewers are going to see a personal side of Goren, a side he doesn't allow exposed..." On a school trip to New York City, a visiting Iowa teen disappears and the prime suspect Ethan (guest star Matt O'Leary), is a powerful judge's son. The case widens when it appears the accused's philandering father Harold (guest star Colm Meaney), is a co-conspirator who acted to protect his son ? and might be a murder suspect himself ? but he is not afraid to retaliate against the investigators. In doing so, he delves into the personal lives of the detectives who aim to catch him. Jamey Sheridan, Courtney B. Vance and Fred Dalton Thompson ("Law & Order") also star. "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," which is currently in its fifth season, takes viewers into the minds of its criminals while following the psychological approaches the Major Case Squad uses to solve the crimes. Partners Logan and Barek join the Major Case Squad alongside long-time partners Detectives Goren and Eames to handle this week's case. The two Major Case Squad detective teams split the caseloads, fronting 11 episodes each. "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" is a Wolf Films production in association with NBC Universal Television Studio and is Dick Wolf's third installment of the "Law and Order" brand, the second-longest running drama series in the history of television. Wolf, Rene Balcer, Fred Berner and Peter Jankowski are executive producers.

I think we should keep an eye out for appearances by any of the cast members to promote this.

CI had a two hour movie before with Zoonotic/A Person of Interest, didn't they? It was a two hour season finale. Maybe the difference is that finale was two seperate shows (and cases) and this "movie" will be all about one case. One part instead of two. Catbird, thank you! You're not the only one to think that. There was a special NBC preview week on cable and when it came time to mention CI, the 2 hosteses were saying "Chris Noth. MMM, Chris Noth". ARGH!

From the CHICAGO TRIBUNE of today:
8 TV shows to watch to fill out your weekend
Sid Smith and Maureen Ryan Published November 4, 2005
"Law & Order: Criminal Intent," 8 p.m. Sunday, WMAQ-Ch. 5: It's great to see Chris Noth back on TV, and back in the fold of "Law & Order"; after all, he and the old-school "Law & Order" crew helped spawn the TV-procedural crime wave we're still experiencing. This season, Noth is alternating with Vincent D'Onofrio as "Criminal Intent's" lead each week; on Sunday, Noth's and D'Onofrio's characters, detectives Mike Logan and Robert Goren, pair up for an engrossing two-hour outing, in which an Iowa teen on a school field trip to New York City goes missing. When a prominent judge's son is implicated in not just her disappearance but other crimes as well, the pressure on the detectives gets really intense. Colm Meaney does a terrific turn as the arrogant judge, and the case allows the "Law & Order" franchise to take a look at why and how missing white women seem to end up getting more attention from the media than missing women of other ethnicities. "Do not confuse my desperation with gratitude," the mother of a missing African-American girl fumes at a cable news personality (obviously modeled on CNN's Nancy Grace) who's finally decided to cover the case of the non-white girl -- once her death is linked to that of the white teen from Iowa.
Not only is the story meaty and provocative, it's a pleasure to see the easy chemistry of Noth and Annabella Sciorra, who plays Logan's partner, Detective Carolyn Barek. Noth's world-weary visage and Sciorra's urban edge give their pairing the upper hand in the "Criminal Intent" realm, though, truth be told, D'Onofrio's odd timing and hulking presence have their appeal, once you get used to them. "I'm an acquired taste," Goren admits to his partner (Kathryn Erbe). But it's one that goes down well in this company.

Lots to look forward to with this upcoming episode: ---emergence of Barek's personality so we finally get some evidence of the Logan/Sciorra chemistry. ---a backstory of Det. Goren and Eames personal history, more personal information about Goren's mother, and a more personal side to the Goren character. Fascinating stuff, provided we get small doses and not an overload of soap. ---seeing how a network TV show deals with the issue of differences in media coverage of crimes committed against white victims vs. crimes committed against non-white victims.

futon critic.com"Every now and then, a crime comes along that comes to act as a prism on contemporary society," says Rene Balcer, Executive Producer, "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." "The murder that inspired this episode is one such crime. We were fascinated by the way in which the murder was exploited by various journalistic and political interests -- and even I'll admit by us since we based an episode on this crime." Well I am glad that Rene admits it. Yes, I will watch the show, and I don't have a problem with the writers getting some ideas from past true crimes. But, Natalee Holloway's family has no closure yet. It still a very fresh wound..... and who is to say that she is dead? Remember Pamela Smart

...the case allows the "Law & Order" franchise to take a look at why and how missing white women seem to end up getting more attention from the media than missing women of other ethnicities. *seem* to?? Thanks for posting the article, Patcat. They’re really taking on some serious subjects this year! I’m glad they went to two hours for this one. I’m really looking forward to seeing the four of them working together – it sounds as though Berek is coming across as a bit more expressive. I’m also looking forward to the personal bits about the characters. At least some of that will apparently be things the judge digs up to try to smear the detectives, and it sounds as though that could get both interesting and intense, judging by D’Onofrio’s comment that, "viewers are going to see a personal side of Goren, a side he doesn't allow exposed..." Plus, Goren admits to Eames that he’s an acquired taste? I definitely want to see the scene that triggers *that* comment!

Another video preview this time courtesy of tv guide.com scroll to the bottom of the Hot List page and look for WHAT ELSE IS ONI know your probably all bored of watching these clips by now but its worth watching this set if only for Logan's opening comment to Barek (which could be a metaphor for the whole LOCI "split shift") and for Eames quip to Barek about Goren and Logan

Post away, DNA! Someone is always interested I'm so tempted to look, but I find the eps much more enjoyable when I have no idea what's going to happen.
