This was a cool episode. Tons of blasts from the past. While I'm sad to see that Goren's nemesis won't ever have another cameo again, it was a cool way to tie up that loose end. So, is Goren now really "free?"
The promo for Jeff Goldblum was awesome, even though it was like 2 seconds long. Just the way he walks into a room with his shifty eyes all over the place has me laughing.

I didn't see the promo! Dammit.
I really did like this episode, although it became clear pretty quickly the Lionel Luthor was the killer.
As for Nicole, I have to say I'm a little dissapointed that she's now done... and that it wasn't "Bobby" that did her in! To be killed off-camera and have her heart show up... It was cool in it's Se7en-esque ballsy-ness, but I also felt kind of cheated.
This is a character that is every bit Goren's equal... she has been consistantly one-step (if not more) ahead of everyone, and to be so blind-sided by someone she must have known was Bobby's mentor... it just seemed uncharacteristically careless for such a diabolically scheming character.
Other than that, though... really good episode.
EDIT: Also a shame that we'll never see his daughter Jo again as she could have had at least a cool, Hannibal-Lector-esque looney bin scene. But having bit her tongue off and slipped into a coma, I doubt she'll show up again, either. I guess we could still have Lionel pop up again in that "Lector" role.

Hopefully, Bobby really is "free", and we won't get more of his annoying mental breakdown subplot.

This is exactly how I felt. I enjoyed the episode. But I was really disappointed they just blew-off the Nicole Wallace character. She was the White Whale, and she gets a lousy send-off. What a let-down.

Just more quirky mind-games with defendents and their incredibely inept attorneys

I was kinda bored by the episode. I have always like the Goren episodes, but I found that I liked the Logan episodes quite a bit more the last couple of years.

IS there anywhere that I can watch this online right now. I haven't looked around yet. I saw the beginning up until the miss wallace arrival (which was a little obvious) but then had to go to work.
