Ugh! Olivia Benson is like a damn cockroach on steroids. She won't go away. I'm ready for her swan song already!

It's ridiculous that we are to believe a grand jury would convene over that dead clown after Liv is found taped and handcuffed to a table and a little girl tied up? Was it really hard to believe that this guy would set something like that up?

I also don't believe that THAT type of animal would kill himself to make Liv suffer for life. He enjoys humiliating her. Their excuse was that she no longer fought so he got bored. Suicide was his Plan B? WTF! If Liv was no longer fighting him, HELLO, there's a young girl tied up for him. Not that I want to see Lewis violate a child, but that didn't make sense because the child would resist - that excites him and he would still have a game to play. Madness, I tell you!

And look who shows up. Tucker! He was conveniently unavailable when Rollins had to face IAB because no one would buy that he would do nothing. Tucker had been on Stabler and Benson like flies to horseshit over much less than Rollins on her knees about to give a BJ to prove she can be trusted by criminals.

Ugh! Why do I torture myself?!

SVU passed on the proper ending 6 times over. There is no longer a proper ending for this show unless Stabler returns for Benson's funeral. She lived like a miserable wretch and that is the way she should die. No happy ending for someone who's determined to be miserable!

No, I still want Benson/Barba to ride off into the sunset together. By the time the show finally ends, I think she'll have enough service under her belt that she can retire and move on to greener pastures.

Amanda, sweetie, you have had so much baggage in the past couple of years and now you are getting it on with Nick, who has even more baggage than you!! Not a good idea, even as friends with benefits. You already have a faithful companion in Frannie the dog, who is loyal and always there - which is more than we can say for the men in your life.

All that said, however - I didn't mind seeing Danny Pino in a towel. *rawr* wink.png

SVU has officially become a PT after school special. What judge in their right mind would give Liv a baby, and the way it was done? REEEEEEdiculous!

And Nick Amaro Stabler just gets a nice cozy happy ending? Ugh!

Rollins should just go! No explanation needed.

Not that I ever wanted for Benson and Stabler to hook up (IMO, their romance would've been too distracting from the rest of the show) but it kind of pisses me off how Amaro and Rollins got to "do the do" in under three years and all Benson/Stabler 'shippers got in over a decade was a few lingering glances. I can't explain why it pisses me off, it just does. At the very least, though, Neal Baer should have given those fans a scene or two where Benson and Stabler come close, but one or the other pulls back and actively explains why it could never happen. As it was, Benson/Stabler 'shippers were just left hanging.

Plus, maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't find Warren Leight to be all that fantastic as a writer and producer. Whenever he runs a series ("SVU," "Criminal Intent," "Lights Out"), the series tend to just...lay there. The characters might be well-drawn, but the stories always come across as dull, lacking any real "OMG!!!!" moments.

I thought the first few post-Stabler seasons were OK, but this season was garbage. There were always contrivances but it's just not even close to being an intelligent legal drama anymore. It's all about being shocking and playing on tropes and blatant ratings-grabs. What even happened in the season finale? I forgot it was on.

    • 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...
