Law & Order: SVU - Discussion Thread

[ChitHappens]

Doesn't look like she had work done to me either. I thinks its the weight gain. She's still as gorgeous as ever though!

I will say that the time has come to put this baby to bed! I was on pins and needles, but then Benson decided to do the right thing and not torture this mofo! Why not let the character go there because we've seen her almost raped before, so it's time to change it up a bit. This guy tortured her for a few days, and she only beats him with a stick and then stops? Puke!

Mariska can fit on just about any other show on the air, so it's time to let SVU go, NBC. No, you won't have any long running shows, but that is not a good enough reason to keep this dreck on the air. Outside of how they mishandled the #saveBenson premier, the show is just dull. There's nohting else you can squeeze out of this squad! Put it down already!

Maybe if they brought back Alex Cabot, that would give SVU some life! I miss the courtroom aspect of the show.

Hence the name Law and Order. Lol, they need to bring Cabot back!!!

Cybill Shephard playing Paula Dean

[I Am A Swede]

Isn't that Rafael Barba's (Raúl Esparza's character) role now, the courtroom part of the show?

Personally though I would love to see Casey Novak back. I always liked her a little bit better than Alex Cabot.

What a stupid heinous unimaginative eppy! This show has expired!

Did he leave the show?

[marceline]

Yes. He may end up doing the occasional guest spot but Belzer has officially left the show.

Olivia needs to be benched! The time has come. She has shown throughout the 15 years that she cannot be objective. Someone yells "rape" and its automatically true unless her boyfriend is the accused. Benson will destroy a life in a New York minute. There are no grounds to fire her ass, but she should not be in the field. If ever there is an eppy where Rollins lays into her ass, please let me know. I saw Wednesday's show out of sheer boredom, but it is high time someone puts their foot up Benson's ass! Amaro is so whipped by this woman that he can't see straight. The only time he speaks up against Liv is when Liv's bf is around.

But onto the stupid ass eppy! This guy is using sex toys with his children at the school, and he leaves them in plain sight? Not only is that damaged bitch, Liv, going to link this to her conception, but does this not make sense to anyone? Why, if he's been molesting so long, would he be that careless?

[marceline]

The whole thing was a mess and I'm with you that Liv needs to be kept far away from SVU. It's ludicrous to me that she hasn't been transferred to computer crimes or robbery.

That said, Billy Porter was wonderful in his role and watching Fin and Rollins jam to "For Once in My Life" was all I needed. I never thought I'd like Fin with anybody but Munch but he and Rollins are a perfect fit.

I actually just saw it a few days ago. I was completely underwhelmed. It didn't do the TM story any justice at all. Could have been better.

[Khan]

I know Ice-T said he was comfortable with a supporting role, but I would not mind seeing SVU re-tooled to focus exclusively on his and Kelli Giddish's characters. Their chemistry as partners -- not ROMANTIC partners, but partners on the force -- is fantastic.

[rhinohide]

I agree. And Kelli's character is really one of the few who continues to bring any kind of "different" drama to the show. Her back story and her quandries, are really the only part that interests me any more.

[ChitHappens]

Not a huge fan of the Rollins character, but when you have Liv not progressing after 15 years and playing house while hosting dinner parties, a time for change has come! Mariska said she wanted less to do since she has 2 small children now.
