Couples with prime-time chemistry article

It's very brief, but interesting...

"Where the sparks fly"

Here's what was said about Criminal Intent:

"Chris Noth and Annabella Sciorra - "Law & Order: Criminal Intent": (NBC, 9 p.m. Sundays) While original cast member Katherine Erbe constantly regards, reasonably enough, Vincent D'Onofrio as an oddball, the new investigative team actually seem to be interested in each other's secrets."

You know, I'm not quite sure what's meant by the above statement. I think the critic is referring to the characters, but what an odd way to word it. He should have said "Eames and Goren" not "Erbe and D'Onofrio" or used the word "character" or something.

Logan and Barek chemistry? Did I miss something? This article just bothers me on so many levels and I can't quite put my finger on why. Maybe it's the oddball comment...

That is weird that they would say their real names and not the character names.

I think Eames is interested in his personal life. Take a look at season one. She say's he did a real good job with Howard in ep. 4. She's also interested in meeting his buddies too. I think she is interested in what he does on his free time and what he's all about in general. Perhaps the author was only talking about this season?

I think the author is talking about this season, but Eames certainly doesn't view Goren as an oddball anymore (if she was shown to at all). In my experience, oddball doesn't mean "aquired taste"
