Wasn't where that plot went -- to the Kennedy family (and by name!) -- kind of wild?

I loved it, and that he would rather be a Kennedy and go to jail than be who he really was and be free! Oh and the wife who sent in 62,000 dollars to a scam! Geez what a husband to forgive her. But how dumb can you be? Loved the coffee discussion between the cops. Oh and Blanch from the Golden Girls, priceless, she could have been playing the same role, But I am sure Blanche would have slept with JFK, I don't think this Character did, lol.

I'm glad you started this thread, AL. This wasn't my absolute favorite episode this season, but it was solid enough. Kudos to the casting people. I thought the lead actor really looked like a blend of Rue McClenahan and JFK, LOL! At first I thought this episode was crazy. But a knowledge poster at the TWoP site had this link, a RFTH Vanity Fair article. Hair DNA also was used, and the Kennedy's did try to squash this guy's attempts: Vanity FairWas Lupo silently crushing a bit on Connie? He seemed very concerned about her getting scolded by the arraignment judge. |

Maybe I shouldn't comment becuase I cannot really say something about the episode, but I followed the Worthington Story when it broke right about this time last year. Honestly, if anyone crushed his story, it was Jack Worthington himself. As Ted Kennedys representative pointed out - they get such claims way too often. If Worthington had presented himself as being sincere, maybe it would've worked, but he didn't, Worthington took down his own story.

Like Connie can't take care of herself Yes, but the Judge who reamed Connie out was the actress who played the rich socialite mother in "Smothered." Boy, that lady plays am awesome "biotch!"  |

I found this episode to be the weakest of the season.
Lupo seems to be being painted as somewhat of a screwup this season.

Good to see you, Hansen.  Hmm.....I believe you are right about Lupo. He's made his share of blunders lately. Maybe he isn't getting enough sleep attending night law school? This season, even the weaker episodes are good, better than anything on SVU and the CSI's are putting out. And the strong episodes are fantastic. I keep remembering how this show was ordered by NBC to premier three months earlier than scheduled. And here we have LOCI still not ready to premier and unable or unwilling to commit to a specific start date.  |

Hey DonnaJo,
Thanks for the mention.
I agree with you that even the weak episodes this season are good compared to some of the other seasons.
To me it seems that Lupo's character is changing direction : the writers are changing some fundamentals about Lupo. It feels like the writers have decided Lupo's character is going in another direction than last year. Of course, he was paired with Green. It reminds me of that comment that Sciorra said about playing a T.V. character in which the character is constantly evolving throughout the season rather than having a fleshed out character from the beginning.
I enjoy seeing Connie's character growing/gaining some strength this season. I think her pairing with Linus(is that his name?) has allowed for her character to move in directions different than when she was paired with Waterson. It's interesting how actors vibes enhance or inhibit the development of other characters. Waterson alone fills the screen and the scene and he says it all.
That dynamic was in play with the Moriarty/Kincaid pairing in the early years of L& O. When she was partnered with Moriarty, her character was somewhat stifled(I realize it was her first season), but when she was paired with Waterson, her character really blossomed. Part of that could be the direction the writers/director wanted, but I believe that the actor's energy also affects the performance. Moriarity's character was very solid and full; it felt like almost no room for any other legal partner to share the screen. Again, nothing intentional on Moriarty's part; just part of who he is and what he brings in as an actor.
