I gave it a B, just because anything Goren & Eames are in automatically raises it one full grade point for me.
Also for the little gifts from Goren, Eames & Ross - their interaction & the looks between them. And especially for "Do you think I'm angry?" ;D
Finally, because compared to SVU which I watched afterwards, this was an A+++. That show didn't even HAVE a crime, just Olivia being a female Stabler for 47 minutes.

I usually am pretty generous with my ratings, but I've just about had it. I gave it a C.
PS, I take it the F is yours Techguy? By all means let us know how you feel about this episode ;D

I gave it a B, for Bobby just like Donnajo G/E get a grading curve, sorry L/W fans.

I gave it the (so far) lone A. I liked it - wasn't the greatest, but not the worst either and G/E working together like old times definitely gets it a bump up.

I voted a solid 'C'.....which is as high as it could be when I combined an 'A' for acting by the main players with an 'F' for the shoddy writing.

I gave it a "B" it wasn't the best, but I didn't think it was awful. I agree CI has been charged with getting the ratings up, but if "Ripped From the Headlines" isn't working, then go back to the old CI style and it's writers and place it on a good night, even Saturday, and have G/E episodes all in a row and I'd bet money on it that the ratings would go up to where they used to be.
Leight and his team seem to write well for the Logan episodes, let them continue with these shows and have them air all in a roll as well.

I take it the F is yours Techguy? By all means let us know how you feel about this episode ;D Madger, I graded this episode a D although like jefferaldo I wish there was a middle ground between D and F. I reserve the F for truly offensive trash like TWAH and "Siren Call" which also have the ignominious distinction of being G/E episodes.
Sorry DonnaJo and ragincajun, I cannot and WILL NOT automatically grade the G/E episodes higher just because they're G/E and not L/W. If anything, I expect and demand more from the G/E episodes because these characters have been on CI from the beginning. This season, however, the G/E episodes have been a major disappointment, so substandard compared to most of the L/W episodes it's almost criminal. Can you tell I'm disgusted? I won't even try to disguise it.

I'm not understanding giving the eppie an 'A' rating if it was neither the best nor the worst. That sounds more like a solid 'C'

Sorry DonnaJo and ragincajun, I cannot and WILL NOT automatically grade the G/E episodes higher just because they're G/E I understand Techguy. Besides, if you graded them higher for the same reason I do (and I'm guessing also why Ragin does), we'd have to have a talk with Mrs. Techguy about you. ;D

That sounds more like a solid 'C' Well then, by all means vote C. ;D As I said in the episode thread, I know I am in the minority, but I liked it. It wasn't the best, but certainly not the worst and there were parts that I really enjoyed. caseyswife

I agree with DonnaJo. The R/G/E exchanges were pretty viable and solid. Benson going Stabler...now that is getting stale.
