Is it that time already? Wow, sometimes it seems like only yesterday the show premiered. I have so many that I like, it probably won't be short.

Favorites:
Season 1:

The Faithful- the 'Goren show' ;D
Smothered-the talk btw Goren & the son at the end.
Jones- the ending interrogation of Talbot
Third Horsemen-I got to see the characters views on abortion.
Crazy- the ending 'evaluation' of the shrink.
Phantom
Semi-professional
Yesterday-the interrogation of Jay

Season 2:

Tomorrow
Cuba Libre-Goren & the crazy fashion designer going at it was fun to watch.
Con-text- the Eyeball poking
Legion
Zoonotic-Dr. Stern's 'stripping', Eames & Goren's reactions LOL.
Anti-thesis- the intellectual sparring btw Nicole & Bobby.
Cherry Red- Goren's reaction to the car, Carver's reaction to the models.
Person of Interest- for obivous reasons

Season 3:

Gemini
The Gift
But Not Forgotten
Stray- the ending talk w/ the kids, also getting to see Goren in his dress blues
Murderer Among Us- the end, I never get tired of watching Goren swing that pipe wildly around.
Sound Bodies- interrogation of Connie
Happy Family- the 'family reunion'
FPS- Goren gets blindsided again, but Eames wasn't there to have his back, he realizes how much he depends on her.
Unrequited
Pas De Deux- Bobby's dance w/ Margie, also the 'dance of death'.
Ill Bred
DAW

In the Dark
Magnificat
Silver Lining
Gone
Sex Club
Death Roe
Beast
My Good Name

Season 5:
Prisoner
Unchained (Logan & Barek)
Wee Small Hours (1&2)

As for the best criminal? I would have to say the kid in 'Want' even thought I wasn't too fond of the episode itself, Neil Patrick Harris was brilliant.
the 'best moments' are listed above with the favorite episodes.

Haven‘t seen S5 yet. Concerning the show‘s evolution, I liked: The way the characters were introduced to us in the very first episodes. When I started watching the series I disliked Goren a bit, maybe because IRL he would be a terrible sparring partner for me. But my initial dislike turned into a big crush after having watched about 10 episodes or so. I also liked the way Eames‘ and Carver‘s interaction with Goren evolved. It looks as if Eames learned a lot from Goren during the first two seasons and now she does things on her own. And Carver seems to have understood that he doesn‘t have to love Goren, but that it is possible to work with him -- and come to satisfying results. I disliked Nicole Wallace being Goren‘s arch-nemisis. She‘s only been a semi-interesting character to me, maybe because she relies too much on her appearance. Petite, blonde (at least in the earlier eps), sensuous lips, speaks in a way a little, fragile woman would. Attractive to men and women? Yes, I‘d say. And maybe she‘s even funny, as Goren suggested. But I never believed her to be that smart as she is presented. To me, she seems neither intellectual nor calculating. She got away with all her crimes because of sheer luck, not because of her smarts.
But I liked the off-screen introduction of Goren‘s family members. The deceased father, the institutionalized mother, the gambling addict brother, who nearly put Goren‘s eye out with a Jonny 7 all-in-one... But the writers missed the chance to tell us more about Eames‘ family. We only get to know that her father is a cop, too, and that she‘s got at least one sister, and that one of her brothers is a fire-fighter. But they never made it official that she‘s a widow, which is already kinda canon with the fans.
