Just what the title says!

One I liked early on in S1 was "The Third Horseman", the anti-abortion killer episode, maybe because it is such a gray topic, and I like that it is among the first instances of Goren/Eames giving brief glimpses of their personal beliefs while not browbeating the audience of what was right and wrong.

I have a huge love/hate deal for "Blind Spot". I like that Bobby showed he wasn't invincible once Alex was kidnapped and liked that Alex actually saved herself, but I hate that Warren Leight even went there to begin with. (It seemed to be a testing ground for Leight since he seems to torture Olivia Benson on SVU now every week.)

As for "Frame", it had soap elements, but VDO killed it. And I did like Eames having Goren's back. I also liked "Lady's Man" and "Amends", since it went both ways, and Bobby supported Alex, too.

One non-G/E episode that was well done but almost hard to watch was "Senseless" with Logan/Falacci, when those three people were executed in the park. It was too real, and I almost thought the female twin would make it, so it just seemed to double the tragedy when she died in surgery. Liked Logan mouthing off at Ross, too.

The worst?

While well acted, "The War At Home" was just too damned depressing. Bobby's mom, as I've said, should've remained a peripheral presence, not swallowed him whole.

That holds for "Endgame", too. Could it be anymore soapy? Bobby, your daddy wasn't really a drunk adulterer! No, he was...dun, dun, dun...A SERIAL KILLER! Please. I thought Roy Scheider was a wonderful actor and acted the hell out of Mark Ford Brady, but REALLY? (At least RS/VDO had a minuscule resemblance versus VDO/Rita Moreno.) And then in the following season with Ross accusing Goren of being a killer because his sperm donor was...just ridiculous.

One S9 episode I caught was "Pasimplest" or whatever it was. Zack Nichols and some mentally ill woman he knew in a mansion with voice over and no real throughline. It was like (I'd assume, never did it) some acid trip that made its way to the screen. (Then again, I think S9 was an experiment to try to make it quirky to match Nichols. And it failed spectacularly.)

What are some of your best and worst?
