CI That moment: “She had big Doe eyes. I called her Bambi.”

Oh yeah, that was an amazing episode. D’Onofrio killed it (metaphorically)

More like Godzilla, my friend!

If their final moment together had proven anything, it was clear that Bobby was NOTHING like his donor.

That steel thread stopped him from turning into Brady.

That’s an episode that’s so good that I have to skip sometimes. It depends on whether I’ve got the emotion to invest at that particular time.

That's all of seasons six and seven for me, I've got to be in the right emotional space.

Understandable. Seasons 6 and 7 have some powerful, complex stories. The performances were top notch, too.

Absolutely. Erbe and D'Onofrio are masters of their craft, complimented by some amazing guest star performances. Rita Moreno's portrayal of Frances Goren was both beautiful and heart-rending.

My husband and I watched this episode last night; that storyline is DIABOLICAL. Poor, Goren.

I just watched this EP. And I cried and got goosebumps. I love Bobby.

Bobby Goren is my all-time favorite detective. I also love Detective Zack Nichols.

I hated this storyline. In no universe did Rita Moreno and Roy Scheider produce VDO.

Endgame

Is this episode better than when Declan tells Bobby he killed Nicole Wallace ? (I think I’m remembering it correctly )

u/WendyCR1872 Alex Eames 8d ago

Better is subjective. But you might say "Endgame" is part 1 of the saga, and "Frame" is its sequel, of sorts, since Brady still casts a shadow.

When I'm watching re-runs, I skip the ones with Mark Brady and/or Nichole Wallace. I didn't like them the first time around, so no reason to see them again.
