*revives dead thread*
I cannot believe Criminal Intent is being replaced by, what is it, L.A.? Criminal Intent was honestly my favorite between the two Law & Orders on NBC (too lazy to rephrase that and make it sound a little better).
The finale was so excellent - that in itself made me even more upset over the fact that new episodes cease to exist.
Personally, I think SVU has gone a bit over-the-top with its recent season (another reason why I'm upset over the loss of Criminal Intent). Every action seems so theatric; the more serious of scenes ooze with melodrama. Not to mention, it's straying away from its title (its beginning to get less involved with that specific department, and take more from Criminal Intent as they try to make every episode one of complex twists and turns.)
I'm hoping this all improves next season - I really used to enjoy it, but now it just... meh... I don't know.
I wonder how this "Law & Order: L.A." (title?) is going to play out.
