There were so many good ones but, I was trying to think since I thought I saw this question on this message board before. But I can't find it.
Anyway, the one episode that keeps coming up in my mind is the one where the Russian mob bombs the police building. I think it was a two program episode.
Anyway that is the best I can come up with. What is yours? -

I have to agree that Indifference is one of the very best episodes. The 2-part Torrents of Greed was terrific also.
Flip side: can't bear to watch Damaged, Second Opinion, andthe jury finds a bunch of lusty teenage boys guilty of sexual assault, then the judge reverses the verdict.
Good: The Violence of Summer. Watch for Philip Seymour Hoffman, RIP. -

So so many outstanding episodes, but one that stands out for me was
Everybody Loves Raimondo'shttp://www.imdb.com/board/10629255/
Lots of tie ins with the Sopranos

I think my favorite is not one single episode but the three-part special that was done in the 7th season. It was loosely based on the O.J. Simpson case. A Hollywood director decapitated his ex-wife; the main cast members had to travel back and forth between NYC and LA a couple of times to get their suspect and have him extradited back to NYC.
So many things about that story clicked just right, and perhaps that was because they took the time to develop a complicated story over 3 episodes. -

Was that the one where Detective Curtis was being wooed by the Hollywood agent? And he didn't want to cheat on his wife? -

Yeah, he called it a moment of weakness. That girl seduced him. She didn't care that he was married. The girl (lady) in Hollywood was more interested in him as a boyfriend. She was concerned about his feelings and reservations. The record store girl just wanted to get laid.
I thought it was portrayed well. We could see he was in his "moment if weakness". But, at the same time, we could see it was a mistake. -

Later he chose that record store girl over Lauren Graham! Idiot!
Are you referring to the character Jennifer Garner played?
Det. Curtis cheated on his wife with Jennifer Garner's character, a college student, in the last episode of Season 6 ("Aftershock"). The episodes in which Lauren Graham portrayed a Hollywood producer who tried to seduce Det. Curtis and failed were in the middle of Season 7. By the time he was refusing the sexual offer made by Lauren Graham's character ("Lisa Lundquist"), Curtis was trying to show his wife how sorry he was for having been unfaithful that one
previous
time. (I remember that Det. Briscoe said to Det. Curtis, "I thought if you said enough Hail Marys, all was forgiven," to which Det. Curtis replied, "God forgives you, not your wife.")
I think when you say "that record store girl," you're referring to the fact that Det. Curtis and "Jaime" had one scene in which they were thumbing through a display of CDs being sold off a set of tables sold not in a store but outdoors.
They met in a park; she walked up and asked if she can read the newspaper that was laying beside him. They chatted a little bit, and then she suggested they have lunch together. After lunch, the two of them were looking through CDs in some kind of outdoor display set up on tables; they talked about which kinds of music they liked. During this scene, she called him "cute," to which he replied "and married," then she said, "So?" Then they went to her apartment, danced a little while, and eventually got intimate (while Mrs. Curtis was calling the precinct asking where he was). -

Coma and Encore is my favorite pair of disjointed episodes which are related to each other. I think Encore is better but Miller is terrific in both, the way he torments the cops and the DAs. He gets nailed in Encore, of course.

"Indifferance" is rated the highest and it is good but I prefer "The Prince Of Darkness." It had such a chilling ending. I alson liked "Sonata For Solo Organ" where they stole that mans kidney and left him on a park bench.
Man! I love this show.
I may be twisted, but I'm not miserable.
