This was another example of how ridiculous Stabler's absence is. I wish they'd just say he died or something because there is no way at all that he wouldn't have been in that courtroom to support Olivia. Or more likely he'd be visiting Lewis in jail making threats and screwing up the case. But to not even have him mentioned? Even if it's just Cragen saying that he spoke to Eliot's new captain and he's still undercover or something. But don't just pretend he never existed especially when they mention him on the stand.

I wasn't expecting much from her appearance. This was all about Liv and Lewis. Her hair is gorgeous but I continue to be amazed at how the woman. doesn't. age.

Meloni seems to have put SVU behind him and negotiations year after year were always dramatic with him, but I would just love for one eppy! Just one damn eppy where Stabler is back. We know that cockroach will return, can Stabler kill him? We've already seen the showdown with Benson. It is now time for someone to break this guy into 3 equal pieces no questions asked.

This past episode was horrible. There is no jury in America that wouldn't have convicted that asswipe.

I see they set it up perfectly for him to get out in May. :rolleyes:

No judge would have let someone yell and go in on a witness like that. This episode was abysmal.

Wow! What did I watch? The search is on for a missing kid who landed in the hands of a pedophile and child pornography ring. Did they kidnap the kid? Nope. Mommy had a convenient breakdown and gave the kid to this group. That's not the worse part. She got the kid back at the end of the eppy because daddy promises to be home more and mommy says she'll never do it again. Huh? Benson walks off and tells this woman that she is lucky there are no better options for the kid? Again, huh? There are no better options than a wacko who delivers the kid to sex offenders? OMG! I had to go back to the beginning to make sure the mother in the beginning was the same woman at the end because I could not believe she was given the kid back and didn't even have to fight for him.

This show really has expired!

I agree. This show has really gone off the rails. Oddly, my biggest problem is the villains are cartoonish. This guy who was arrested (who had faked paralysis for years) was more concerned about leaving that feast (talk about gorging) than being arrested. Patricia Arquette's characters was a complete joke. In the old days, they would have written some nuance. The mother would have been shown to be a basket case or something. I think Ron Carlivati is writing SVU now. It's a joke.

The only really good thing the show has going for it (IMHO) is the chemistry between Benson and Barba. I don't like romance or even hints of it on procedural shows, but they're my one exception. They're great friends, and have such a mutual trust and respect for each other. Not to mention that they have great sexual tension - and it's totally not there with Cassidy.

When the show finally ends, and when Benson finally rides off into the sunset, I hope that Barba will be the one by her side. wub.png

Other than that, I agree with everyone. Any edge the show once had is long gone - plus I miss Munch, his snark and his conspiracy theories. Thank goodness for reruns!!!

So let me see if I get this right...

IAB has footage of Detective Amanda Rollins about to give a guy a BJ in a seedy club because she is $15k [which is really not that big of a deal] in the hole from gambling debts, and she needed to prove to him that she can be trusted? IAB, after a "convincing" argument from an undercover NYC cop, says "okie dokie...go back to work".

What's left to say about this show?!

She should have been suspended if not fired and ordered to supply proof of help for her addiction.

They left Tucker out of it for a reason. There is no way he would have let Rollins go back to work. Hell, he brought Benson in and took her badge for less.

It was absolutely ridiculous and possibly one of the worst eppies this show has ever produced!

And It really was a cop out.

I love the hell out of my girl Kelli Giddish but the one I couldn't take my eyes off of was Sherri Saum. When she was all badass and cold, I thought to myself, "Now there's RJ Gannon's daughter." laugh.png It's amazing because I watch The Fosters and she plays this all-loving earth mother type yet I had no problem seeing her as this stone cold bitch on SVU.

As for the story, yeah, it was a cop out but I loved seeing Fin really trying to be there for Rollins.

What the hell is up with Amaro? He's moving into this creepy stalker mode. First with Maria, then Rollins. I'd like to think that his line to Liv about being extra careful after her abduction was true but there also seems to be more going on there. We don't know what he's been doing to Maria that has made her keep calling Liv and I'm not sure how he's going to react now that he knows about it.

Saum was really good.

Seems like they are trying to create an Elliot to Rollin's Benson with Amaro, but he looks like a fool. First he was way too clingly with Benson and now, all of a sudden, he's over protective of Rollins. Not interested. There is only one Benson & Stabler

    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
