I wouldn't be surprised if "Blink" is merely a mirage on the rerun horizon either. The episode title is a bit ironic in a way. NBC has been infamous for jerking around with the schedule so much that if CI fans *blink* they might miss all the changes in the NBC news releases.

No lie! I was getting my hopes up to see an actual, accept no susbstitutions Season 2 episode...but I'll "Blink"...and it'll change!

Dude, I'd probably fall out in a dead faint if they actually keep "BLINK" in the lineup and BEST DEFENSE later on.

*Gasp* Show a Season 2 Episode!!!!? NOOoooo...could be...could it? *sardonic smirk*

Ooo...BTW what were BLINK and BEST DEFENSE about? For the poor Season 2 deprived like Mel...

Blink: a man who has no fear and no problem committing a murder.

Best Defense: an assist. d.a.'s life is being threatened. A real twist and totally different perp than one thinks. Can't say too much about either or might spoil it for those who haven't seen them.

Both are good.

For MelTex and anyone else who wants some links to CI episode descriptions:

www.tvtome.com/LawandOrderCI/eplist.html

www.epguides.com/LawandOrderCriminalIntent/

nbcumv.com/entertainment/storylines.nbc/lawordercriminalintent.html

www.nbc.com/Law_&_Order:_Criminal_Intent/episode_guide/index.html

www.uni-television.com/criminalintent/html/epguide/s3ep1.html

I think the storylines on the first four links are pretty much identical. The last one for USA network has much more lengthy and complete descriptions of the episodes if you want that sort of thing. The first four links are pretty up to date; the USA link does not yet have plot summaries for any of the current season's episodes.

Warning: Be advised there may be spoilers in the plot summaries, especially on the USA site. And the NBC plot descriptions oftentimes do not tell the whole story, and have been known to mislead as to what to expect from the show. So proceed with caution if you decide to read the episode descriptions on any of the sites.

Awesome! Thanks JS and Techguy!

I needed those summaries!

Thanks for the links Techguy!

Don't forget - LOCI is on one hour early tonight!

[MelTex]

So, no new episode for next week?

[NikkiGreen]

I suppose new episodes will be shown rather sparingly, now that there's only about 7 episodes left in the season. The next sweeps period is sometimes in May.

[MelTex]

Hey, NUTS won't be hearing many complaints from me if they keep up with the sprinkling of Season 2 episodes in the NBC line-up.

I'm still crossing my fingers that we get "Malignant" on March 8th. (I think its March 8?)

[NikkiGreen]

"NUTS"?! LOL!

I don't know what's scheduled for March 8th, but Best Defense is still listed for March 1st.

[NicoleMarie]

None of the three look to thrilled in that photo. LOL!!

[MelTex]

What season is "Best Defense?" And when and where is it supposed to come on? I missed that CI listing on tvguide.com!

[Metella]

Best Defense was S3, I think? Geez it is all turning to a blurr now. It is a really solid episode, I think. Had me guessing.

[Patcat]

I think BEST DEFENSE is one of those elusive Season 2 episodes. And it's on at 8 pm EST on NBC on Tuesday, March 1st.

[Metella]

ya ya; could be S2 as I know I really liked it & I was iffy on S3 & S4

and they didn't repeat it much after the 1st airing on NBC.

[NikkiGreen]

It is Season 2. Regarding the ADA from Carver's office.

It aired the week after "Anti-Thesis".
