How do you feel about all the actors getting dropped except Jeff Goldblum?

I think Vincent D'Onofrio made this show. Dropping him after all these years doesn't seem right, unless he was ready to leave the show anyway. He's a gifted actor who has done many quirky roles. I still remeber him as "Gomer Pyle" in full metal jacket. The men's room scene was scary. Somehow dropping everybody to make the show more centered on Goldblum doesn't make sense without some sort of transition period. How do yo explain a change of partners AND a change of Captain at the same time?

i agree with you. i really enjoyed Vincent D'onofrio and kathryn in law and order criminal intent. it was so sudden. i hope i see both of them in something else really soon. they are both talented actor and actress. it appears they do what they what inspite of us fans out here.

D'Onofrio has shown a great range in his acting roles so I expect he'll turn up in a TV show or a movie and be great. Kathryn Erbe may have a little more trouble picking up roles since she's mostly known for CI.

I think it´s alright. They have to change the characters because they begin to repeat themselves and it predictable. DÖnofrio was always playing the psychologist role. Very suave, yet he knew what the "bad guys" were thinking. That´s interesting until you discover that all stories are the same. It´s not the problem of the actor but of the character he was playing.

Well they can drop everybody but then I don't have to watch anymore. It simplifies my DVR schedule.

I agree D'Onofrio made the show. I didn't know they were dropping every body. I have to say when I saw the show for the first time at first I didn't like him because he actually seemed a little scary/psycho. Then I realized what he was doing. He was just playing with people and getting inside their head. I think one of the best scenes where he did this was when he was investigating a doctor who was "playing god" with his older patients and they went to interrogate him at a dinner. The Doctor was standing giving a toast and Goren/D'Onofrio came in sat down in the Doctor's chair and started eating the Doctor's steak. It was priceless.
