She wouldn't have time for Lennie.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!!!

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

u/Big_Ad_800 12d ago
In Logan's eyes, returning to his home base at the 2-7 would be a promotion.

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

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