Logan and Folacci are back this week in a case that seems to have a mild nod of that hat to the somewhat angry phonecalls Alec Baldwin was giving Kim Bassinger. Certainly the female actress in the episode bears more than a passing resemblance to Bassinger. On the other hand, it seems that only yesterday I was watching Steve Guttenberg play a paedophile in Veronica Mars, and now here is playing a possible murderer.
What's of most interest to me is that this episode features Bruce MacVittie, who, quite frankly, seems to turn up in every series of Law & Order somewhere. A quick search of the IMDb shows that this is actually MacVittie's tenth episode in the Law & Order franchise, and his second in Criminal Intent. The man is just everywhere! However, to my surprise he didn't play the villain, and narrowly avoided being the victim. Unusual for dear old Bruce.
I'm getting more and more comfortable with Alicia Witt in her new role, although I do still miss Julianne Nicholson, but it was interesting to learn a little bit more about Folacci this week. Logan seems still to be something of a lonely character, bizarrely becoming more and more like Goren. It would be great to have a storyline where Logan realised he was turning into his rival.
The episode wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't a disappointment, and it was worth a watch.
