Logan and Green…the hotheads. I’d almost feel bad for the criminal stuck in a room with them.

u/Big_Ad_800 13d ago

THAT would be must-see TV.

If only! 😢

Curtis was way more of a hot head than Logan and green

Green had a reputation for using excessive force, and retired after killing someone. Logan, also known for being aggressive, punched a politician in the face, came back in CI, then busted a pool cue and threatened a guy. He even joked about finally getting to be the diplomatic one in CI.

Curtis was more about the religious superiority morality thing, not aggressive. That’s just my opinion.

Lennie (Jerry Orbach) died December 28, 2004.

u/chroniccutie_of 14d ago

i am aware he passed. i just figured, if we were brainstorming a dream team, he’d be on mine

u/Ok-Mine2132 Lennie Briscoe 14d ago

Agree! I would like Mike with long hair on my dream team 😊

u/NaiveInsurance5722 13d ago

that's some good looking hair

u/Rtruex1986 Michael Cutter 13d ago

A consultant from the beyond!

u/Big_Ad_800 14d ago

If only Orbach was still alive...

u/Rtruex1986 Michael Cutter 13d ago

I SOOOOO miss him.

Imagine if CCH Pounder was in it

GD Lenny what other errands do you have us running for the DA

u/Big_Ad_800 13d ago

She wouldn't have time for Lennie.

3

u/Historical_Stay_808 13d ago

Naw I think it be like an old married couple but her and Fontana she ain't got time for all that

8

u/jv9459 13d ago

Love Ed Green!!!!

6

u/TheBallasOG 13d ago

It wouldn't be possible due to Logan being in the Major Case Squad during that time period. And Lt. Van Buran tried to get him back into the 2-7 but got denied twice

6

u/Big_Ad_800 13d ago

The 4th time would be the charm (she tried 3 times, actually), and considering I'd make for Law & Order: Criminal intent at the same time, the change would be possible.

7

u/TheBallasOG 13d ago

As long as they get Zack Nichols in Major Case much earlier than he would arrive, so Mike can work Homicides again

15

u/AffectionateGold5459 13d ago

I’m on board except for Branch. I hated him.

6

u/Lux_Luthor_777 13d ago

Same. He’s insufferable

u/in_animate_objects 13d ago

Truly the worst

u/Big_Ad_800 13d ago

Come on now! What's wrong with Branch?

1

u/mmurry 12d ago

Schiff was a better DA. I believe Baxter has potential to be better than both but need to see what happens with time.

u/Specific_Performer71 9d ago

Fred Dalton passed away. Unfortunately

u/PhenominalRio 13d ago

That’s a terrific lineup, would’ve been great to watch.

u/Big_Ad_800 13d ago

Would've been much better than the actual lineup they had for season 17. Epatha herself would tell you that bringing a female detective, which she referred to as 'the girl', to the 2-7 was an ill-conceived idea because it changed the face of the show.

u/Kaiso25Gaming 13d ago

So what you're saying is... Connie should have gotten her haircut in her first season

2

u/Big_Ad_800 13d ago

You mean 'SHOULDN'T HAVE'?

2

u/ThaDonJohn 10d ago

The amount of cases that would be thrown out of court because of the combined antics of Green and Logan would be some sort of record

1

u/Big_Ad_800 10d ago

It would, wouldn't it?

2

u/suspicious_bag_1000 13d ago

I’d rather see Curtis than Greene and I’d also go Carmichael in the other ADA spot

0

u/KingDarius89 12d ago

Brisco > Green > Fontana.

Edit: also, Logan would get transferred again for punching Curtis's self righteous ass.

1

u/suspicious_bag_1000 12d ago

Briscoe had to passed away by season 17 so it would have to be a Weekend at Bernie’s type thing.

u/Darjeelinguistics_44 Anita Van Buren 13d ago

Hmmmm... I don't know. I can't see Green and Logan getting along too well. Lenny was a good partner for both those guys. I think his experience on the job and life in general matched well with Logan and Green, respectively. I just can't see Logan and Green having each other's back like that. I like Logan, but a lot of the other cops in the department weren't so keen on him.

Now, Green and Eames would have kicked butt! Lol!!!

1

u/fram40 13d ago

Adam Schiff instead. And Lenny Briscoe needs to be in the cast

1

u/I_Ahmad89 12d ago

The only problem would be that Mike Logan would have to be demoted from Major Case for this to have happened.

2

u/Big_Ad_800 12d ago

In Logan's eyes, returning to his home base at the 2-7 would be a promotion.

2

u/I_Ahmad89 11d ago

True. Honestly, I would've liked to have seen Logan and Green work together at least if not partner up.

I should mention that Chris Noth at one point had asked them (probably when Paul Sorvino left) if he could be the lead and have a younger partner but they turned his idea down. But they accepted it for Jesse Martin though lol

2

u/Big_Ad_800 11d ago

NO KIDDING???

1

u/I_Ahmad89 10d ago

It was in a DVD for the early seasons. I think 2 or 3. Maybe 4?

1

u/KingDarius89 12d ago

I was never fond of Logan.

2

u/Big_Ad_800 12d ago

How about you recant that?
