Season 7 was just an ongoing intense life walk for Bobby Goren/ Vincent D'Onofrio. Can one person have so much trauma in their life? Yes, Vincent did an incredible job of projecting the internal grief and loss of each incident in his life. When he was sitting in his Mother's room after her death, I could see his pain and identify with my own loss of my mother. Season 8 , while not as well written , viewers were at a disadvantage because the episodes were not aired in the order of taping. If we as fans and viewers had seen the episodes in order , I believe we would have seen Bobby on his way back from all the turmoil. Recovery from loss isn't easy nor is it fast. It does change the person. No one could have portrayed that any better than Vincent D'Onofrio. The studio did a disservice to the actors and the fans by not airing the episodes in sequence.

Criminal Intent seems to be fizzing out a bit. The stories are not as intricate nor are they as interesting. D'onofrio and Erbe appear to be in less episodes and they are the stars that make this show have its pizz-azz. My favorite episodes were when D'Onofrio went under cover to help his nephew and received all kinds of psychotropic medications and shock treatment himself. His poor nephew died and D'Onofrio was put on leave for psychiatric reasons. He returns in season 8 but he looks none the better for wear.

It's hard for Criminal Intent to go wrong but I'd like to see some better writers get into the action. I'd also like to see the return of D'Onofrio's Australian nemesis. She made for an interesting adversary. This is my favorite of all the Law and Order shows and I want it to keep up to the best of its best.

Worth every penny and no commercials. Best cop drama on tv. I agree with the previous rating in that all unbox should be available in more formats. I would certainly buy/rent alot more. Specifically Ipod or Zune. Very disapointed in that aspect.

I rated this a one star because I own a MAC, an IPOD and, also I don't have Tivo so there is no way I can download it. Please make it a universal standard so everyone can download it and enjoy it. There should be more choices in format like MP4 or AVI. Why would I buy something that I can't watch on what ever device I want to watch it on.
