Bobby Goren *is* Law & Order: Criminal Intent. And Bobby is not Bobby without Eames. But unlike the original Law & Order, the characters are not interchangable. Notice how many other "detectives" they've gone through just trying to fill the bi-monthly non-Goren/Eames episodes. Rene Balcer कहा it well in his हाल का interviews on USA network's website: L&O:CI is character driven. Goren and Eames are *the* characters people started watching the दिखाना for (and have continued to do so for EIGHT years). So in short: no Bobby, no show. As far as I'm concerned it's dead.
I'll watch the reruns with Vincent D'Onofrio, After the final show, I doubt I'll continue to watch L&O CI. Can't imagine the दिखाना being the same without Bobby.
