Generally I prefer the Chris Noth episodes of CI, though this offshoot of Dick Wolf's brain is still inferior to the original (and of course, SVU). We didn't see much of the criminals on their own, so it felt less like a specifically CI case and more like a lame episode of original recipe L&O.A former teen sitcom star (we'll call him Screech) is murdered by the Albanian mob. His narcisistic "best friend" (will call him Mark-Paul Gosselaar) is involved. So's a hooker. All in all, it inspired little more than a yawn. But here's the big WTF?: the major clue to the murder is that Screech was selling mint DVDs of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I find that pretty damn amazing since the movie hasn't been shot yet. This gaff made me wonder if the writers were not just lazy storytellers, but also drunk shut-ins who live under some sort of rock.
