Ok I saw this episode last night. First off I must admit I didn't initially like Logan/partner dejour episodes. When I would go to watch the show, on my break at night, I would hope it was a Goren/Eames episode. It reminded me of when I was a little girl and me and my sister would sit infront of the TV every Sunday at 7pm and pray that the Hardy Boys show would be on and not Nancy Drew!( I know I am really dating myself now )I don't think it helped that the first ones I saw were with Barek. But the character of Logan has really grown on me and I am going to miss him. I especially liked the episodes with Falacci. I still don't think Wheeler has much of a personality. I have never seen her in anything else so I don't know if it's her acting or the writing or a combination of both.
But to get back to this episode, I really enjoyed the first twenty minutes. For the same reason many of you mentioned and that was because of Goro. I thought he was a fantastic character. When they are getting ready to confront him at the playground you just know its going to get nasty and then he smiles, offers his hand to Logan and states he wants to help with the investigation. What a total surprise! His whole "Batman" routine is hysterical. They should produce a show about him and his block "The Amazing Adventures of Goro" . I know I would watch it. I wonder how Goro is doing in prison? If his sense of justice is still maintained and what the other prisoners think of him? Another great character was Seamus, although all I could think of when He first came on was size 13! ;D I am glad to read his character is in another episode, I look forward to watching it.
Now for the bad, I agree that the villains were pathetic and their motives even more pathetic and hard to believe. She so loved her husband that she had him commit murder in hopes of destroying her adultery? HUH? In what way could she conceivable believe that adultery was a worse sin than murder? The aria was also totally unbelievable. How did they get Seamus to help? He certainly didn't seem a big fan of Logan's when we are first introduced to him. He even brings up the fact that Logan has shot a cop. The only thing that made it for me was Logan's line "she loved her husband so much she killed her lover." With all due respect to David Allen Cole that really is a perfect country/western song. I did like learning more about Ross and seeing his insecurities. I agree that the Logan/Wheeler/ Ross dynamic is interesting and I look forward to seeing what kind of dynamic he is going to have with Jeff Goldbloom's character.
