An episode more fun than a barrel of monkeys (Get it? Monkeys? . . . Zoonotic? . . . never mind . . .) It’s Alex vs. testosterone run amok, good thing she has Bobby there as a buffer (literally).
Trapped. Trapped like a ferret in a turnstile and stabbed to death.
Oh, Alex, you 8 year old tomboy, you!
Must-Watch-Scene-Alert!!! It’s the prostitute mistaking Goren and Eames as a couple interested in a three-way scene! How much would you love a screencap wallpaper of the two of them holding up their badges to the prostitute?
Goren and Eames send each other more psychic messages in perverted, creepy doctor Stern’s office.
Equally perverted and creepy Doctor Borman strips to his Speedos and does some poses for Eames before Goren cockblocks him. Borman asks Eames for his pants and she scoffs and looks at Goren, like, Yeah right. You do it. But Goren’s just as blown away by this ‘specimen’ and rubs his forehead to ward off the headache. But then he looks at Eames and almost busts out laughing.
Goren and Eames tagteam Borman and Goren systematically pulls his creepy gaze from Eames again and again. It’s so cute.
And we get the reoccurring theme of our two favs willing to bend the investigation to better suit the victim's family.
This episode is as close as we've ever gotten to a real cliffhanger -- are duo got themselves some missing grams of anthrax . . . I wonder who has it.
Clothes Call: Eames is really favoring the turtlenecks lately.
Quotable:
Eames (about Buzz's apartment): How come all divorced cops have the same decorator?
Goren: How many eight-year-old girls you know who like sports cars?
Eames: Besides me?
Prostitute: [seeing Eames] Oh, hi. He didn’t mention he had a friend.
Eames: Actually, I’m his partner.
Prostitute: Whatever. You’re cute.
Eames: Typhoid Roger. You dump him, you get sick.
Goren: Blackmail him, you get killed.
Deakins (about zoonotic viruses): Anything I could catch from my local vet?
Rodgers: Not unless he's been in the southern hemisphere, playing fetch with flying bats.
Carver: A voyeur and an exhibitionist. It's a wonder they found each other.
Eames: Isn't the world a swell place?

Graansha 2.21
Goren is lying all over a dead Irish girl. And we mean alllll over.
Eames gives an anthropologist with an adorable kid ‘our’ card.
Goren gives us lessons on Irish weddings.
Wow, there’s actually an actor out there taller than D’Onofrio.
Showdown in a white tent and Travelers are quick to turn on one of their own.
But it's Goren's world in this episode (surprise, surprise) and Eames just lives in it.
Clothes Call: Eames’ high necked black Matrix coat again.
Quotable:
Malcolm: As a matter of fact, I was there last night.
Eames: Well, as a matter of fact, we knew that.
[talking about Malcolm’s ‘adorable kid’]
Eames: Let’s see if he has an adorable record.
Lane Devlin: What do you people want from me?
Goren: I'd like a glass of water.
Goren: Let's just say we're not not suspecting him.
Eames: The whole idea is so primitive. An arranged marriage in this day and age.
Carver: Yes, especially in light of the stunning success people have choosing their own mates in this day and age.

Blink 2.20
Before Kevin Spacey made 21, we had this Criminal Intent episode about the famous card counting math majors. And, well, if playing cards are involved, Goren’s never too far behind (see Cubra Libre among others).
A math lady says “food procurement for the Quartermaster Corps” and Eames psychically tells Goren, “ah, say wha?” And he fills her in (“mess hall supplies”) without giving away to the lady she didn’t know what it was. Eames makes Goren snicker about a math major’s party island workspace.
Hello, dude from Ugly Betty.
Goren sees a computer and quickly backs away and goes and plays with cds, a harmless form of technology, while trying to convince Eames of the pros of eating live octopus (Alex isn’t convinced).
Alex meets another one of Bobby’s buddies. Goren’s dad was a horse gambler. Ferdie, who can be found at Milligan’s after 7, mistakes Eames for a woman Goren may have brought to his dad’s funeral, who Ferdie was quite the fan of. But Goren says he didn’t bring anyone. What, may I ask, are we to gather from all of this????
How in the world would Goren know his notepad was missing the top sheet?
Maybe Alex won’t have to put in for a partner reassignment after all -- Goren purposefully almost does a header off the top of a building. We don’t see Alex’s reaction, but we imagine it can’t be good. And how did Alex become such a mountain goat???
Clothes Call: Eames has one of those hats in every color, doesn’t she?
Quotable:
Eames: San-nakji. That’s some hint.
Goren: It’s octopus stew. I did a six-month tour in South Korea. They use live octopus. The tentacles get up your nose. It’s hilarious.
Eames: A riot.
Ferdie: [to Eames] Are you the girl he brought to the funeral? ‘Cause if I didn’t say it then, you are very lovely.
Goren: I didn’t bring anyone to the funeral.
Goren: He's entered the lion's den. Bold?
Eames: He's out of his mind.
Goren: It's worse. He doesn't know fear
Eames: Well, will wonders never cease? He blinked.
Carver: He may be human after all.
Goren: Optimist.

Cherry Red 2.19
We begin with crazy cat ladies . . . and what’s wrong with that, I ask?
Goren can tell a dead body was right handed, Eames says “Whaaa?” But, as we’ve learned in the past, Bobby's a little nutty. For example, he will walk over hot coals to get and/or keep a girl – studying the Koran, dealing with a cat allergy . . .
Goren makes fun of Eames’ way of speaking.
Hello, Mr. Paul Dooley (the name of the guest actor that you recognize, but can’t place, who’s imdb list is a mile long). Anyway, Goren tricks him into opening a door for him after enjoying a game.
Goren and Eames are just so fun to watch, like a football team, they pass each other little clues behind the other teams’ backs and have a secret code.
Eames’ dad had a Cutless and she’d help him wax it (with the good stuff only). We like when Goren and Eames play with cars – it’s one of the things they have in common and Eames knows just as much as him.
The return of Lewis!!! Who plays with cars with Goren and swiftly hits on Alex.
And it’s the famous Goren-in-the-pretty-car-and-won’t-come-out scene that needs to be watched again and again.
Carver’s all business until Goren pulls out the model cars and then they both regress to seven year olds.
Clothes Call: Eames’ preppy blouse and sweater.
Quotable:
Eames: Mrs. Batchelder’s file, is it in your current basket over there?
Goren: You know, she always does that with me. She’ll say like, ‘Where’s the sugar?’, instead of, you know, just, ‘Pass the sugar.’
Goren: It's a homeopathic remedy for cat allergies. Microscopic cat dander you put on your tongue. I had a girlfriend named Lola, she had cats.
Eames: You ate furballs for her?
Stan: I can’t talk right now, they’re in the middle of overtime.
Eames: It’s two in the afternoon, where are they playing, Tokyo?
Stan Coffman: [referring to Goren] You know, you're awfully snoopy.
Eames: A lot of people point that out.
Goren: [to the criminal about the 1962 Ferrari GTO] [stammering even more than usual] Have you ever sat in one of these? No? I haven’t, either. I think I need to get inside. [quieter, to himself] I think I need to get inside.
[Sitting in a 1962 Ferrari GTO belonging to the criminal]
Goren: I wish I could tell you how this feels, I can't do it in mixed company, but I wish I could. [revs the engine and smiles] You have no idea.
Criminal: You son of a bitch.
Goren: [seriously] You have no idea.
[Goren is enjoying his time behind the wheel of the cherry red car]
Eames: [coming back to get her little boy] You have to come out now.
Eames: [Goren and Carver are playing with model cars]: You two have a play date?

Legion 2.18
I really don’t like it when they show the murders. They’re really disturbing to watch. I’d much rather watch just the gun going off then cut to the credits, like they usually do.
This is a Logan episode before there were Logan CI episodes – rap music and punk kids and a tight-knit community who isn’t talking. But, just to give Goren an in, they throw in Marcus Aurelius.
Goren grooves to some Cuban tunes in a recording studio and plays with high-tech toys.
We got ourselves a Fagan (Oliver Twist metaphor, anyone?) of bicycles thieves.
Goren’s father ran around on his mother.
Deakins always has a humorous outlook on every murder.
Goren and Eames grill Frankie’s dad in a really funny, NY-accented, you-gotta-watch scene.
Clothes Call: More winter hats, especially Eames’ green one, and their matchy-matchy long black coats.
Quotable:
[Goren pushes a key on a keyboard.]
Keyboard: Baby!
Goren: Ooh, I like that!
Frankie’s dad: Frankie’s not home a lot of the time. Look, is there a reward for information or what?
Goren: [scoffs] A reward? Maybe we could scrounge something up. [to Eames] What do ya think?
Eames: Twenty bucks. We can handle twenty bucks.
Frankie’s dad: Twenty bucks?
Goren: Well, it’s not like he’s on the FBI’s top ten list.
[a young woman wearing very little clothing walks out of the bedroom]
Goren: Well, I can see Frankie’s mom has kept her youthful looks.
Deakins: Well, it’s nice to see the kids studying the classics.

Cold Comfort 2.17
*smile* Bobby’s never been so adorable than the ‘girl thing’ incident – we love him best when he’s awkward like that.
Oh, nothing’s uglier than a fighting family, especially when cryogenics AND politics are involved.
Eames inadvertently takes a shot at Goren: The disease is inherited. Nick could pass it to their kids. I can’t imagine any woman having children under those circumstances. But Goren does say: You have a conscience. Now you wouldn’t want to play Russian Roulette with the future of your kids.
Goren gives an Early Onset Alzheimer’s sufferer drugs and a picture book: Now that’s a man who’s worried . . . and looks it.
Clothes Call: Goren and Eames’ scarves that lend them a splash of color. Goren’s purple tie.
Quotable:
Eames: She hung her purse on the hook here.
Goren: Leather coat would’ve just been able to reach over and grab it. No, I think Miss Kittridge probably just put it on the floor.
Eames: No. She hung it up.
Goren: [Long pause] Right. A girl thing. So the purse is on the hook . . .
Goren: You mean like dipping your old man in a vat of liquid nitrogen? That probably wouldn’t be ‘appropriate,’ especially if you’re running a Senate campaign. I guess people might think you’re from a family of . . . fruitcakes.
Goren: It's not enough for you to be humanitarian of the year. You want to be humanitarian of the millennium. Shame on you
