CHUNG-CHUNG: I've never been a regular watcher of L&O: Criminal Intent, but I decided to DVR Sunday's episode, marking Chris Noth's departure as Det. Mike Logan, and that was a fitting send-off. First, the confession that touches off Logan's final case is given to him by an aging priest because he used to be Lennie Briscoe's partner. In a franchise that prides itself on being purely episodic, it's a nice callback. Second, as has always been the case, Logan's hotheadedness and borderline contempt for authority figures come back to bite him in the ass. Logan/Briscoe was probably the best Original Recipe cop pairing, and seeing Noth walk away is bittersweet.
