[Nike Jordan]

Next week's SVU episode is going to be inspired by the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial.

Yeah the kid is annoying but figured the main villain would be guy Dan/Rawls.

Stabler def going to be ****ing the kids wife though. Calling it now.

 

[po2345]

My man Cruz working with Stabler? I totally forgot about him since Coach Carter.

Also, OC is easily my favorite DW project, outside of what CBS has with the OG FBI.

I knew him as Spanish from Old School.

I knew him as Spanish from Old School.

whenever I see him all I see is SPANISH!! ha good to see dude is working

also from that OC ep 2 is the dude that played Henry Hills brother in goodfellas and Leo's cousin in departed.....I didnt recognize him at first and was like where do I know this guy from and at the club scene I got it

The premiere event was tough to watch with these new guys. Part 1 was kinda trash.

 

[po2345]

OC been a little slow to start.
This season just doesn't have that same suspense as S1&2 yet.

Ilene Chaiken was the showrunner for the first season, but she left midway through last season and was replaced with Barry O'Brien.

Barry O'Brien has worked on a few dramas, but he's done mostly sitcoms. He's the co-creator of Hannah Montana.

 

[po2345]

I like the lady in the most recent episode who was talking **** to Olivia. Def can be a good adversary. Wheatley vibes.

Also, poor Cruz, his brothers & those kids.

This show is so frustrating.

They want to get this soccer player abuser so badly they put the battery in the father's back and almost get dude killed.

Didn't search the guy they wired and didn't feel any remorse for creating the situation.

I'll allow the shenanigans. For what it is worth, if you recall, he said he didn't have the strap on him; it was in a shoebox in the corner of the bedroom. They were definitely hella nonchalant about Paulo almost getting triple tapped. I honestly don't know how he missed three times in that proximity

L&O Thursday was pretty solid this week IMO.

L&O: I lowkey thought dude was going to get away with it once he dropped his counsel and decided to defend himself. The judge was definitely letting him get away with a lot of shenanigans but I guess ole girl's testimony put the nail in the coffin even though her reputation is obliterated as a result Sidebar: I recently binged a bunch of old episodes because I never watched this before and it is remarkable how many folks from other TV shows they had playing parts on previous episodes

SVU: I am glad he caught the L. It was obvious he was a scumbag but messing with his man's 16 y/o daughter is lower than low. If he caught those slugs, he would have deserved it and I wouldn't even be mad.

OC: I thought the focus of the season would be Teddy but it's like a side plot at the beginning and end of every episode now. The wife tried to give him one last out but he's too greedy. Either way, these **** ain't loyal, man. Kind of crazy she is about to **** up a billion dollar casino because she all of a sudden gained a conscience. She definitely knew what she was getting into with that family from the jump. Can't believe Stabler might have fumbled the Tia yambs. She literally laid them out on a silver platter Also, for some reason I found Jet attractive today for the first time. Wood smash

It didn't happen this week but one reason I like the L&O universe is because not all episodes end on a happy note like most procedurals. Sometimes the bad guys get away so it keeps you on your toes even though some folks want the happy ending every time

 

[Master Zik]

Yeah I typed that as I saw the scene and didn't focus on him explaining where he vog the gun after. Guess the writers knew they needed some cover.

L&O had the wild convincing murderer this ep. Actor been in the show a few times.

 

[ghenges]

So I pretty much stopped watching shortly after Stabler left. It was still good for a little while but then they started to make it all about the cops instead of the cases.

Last year..or maybe 2 years ago when Stabler came back to have his own show, they teased him and Olivia in the cross over episode. It was nothing but fluff. The had Stabler's wife die to open the door for Elliot and Olivia to get together. But that's it.

The only thing left for me in this show is to see Stabler smash Benson. They both retire and live on a beach somewhere.

Have you seen all the L&O episodes? I watched one from S18 or something back in 2010 and they had Carisi in it as a dude who may murked his Asian girlfriend Mike Cutter was my dude. He was ruthless (and creative) AF to get those convictions. I also noticed that the white detective who worked with Anthony Anderson and Cutter's subordinate (the woman) are both together on FBI (CBS show).

Zik can comment as well because I haven't seen every SVU episode but it seems like lately they have pivoted back to focusing on the cases. Like most of these shows there is a little in the beginning and end about one of the cops/detective's personal life. I will let you know when Stabler smashes Benson

Yeah I have. They reuse a ton of actors. They're basically favorites of Wolf. Michael Imperioli once played a crazy murdering limo driver and then came back as a detective and starred for a season Same others have played multiple murderers on some how they let this guy out to kill again or how this child murderer a lawyer now and then a murderer again? Young me would be puzzled on that

Yeah Wolf created the whole FBI franchise on CBS and brought his faves over there after running out of space on NBC. Rubirosa and Lupe on FBI just made me come up with a whole back story for how they transitioned to the FBI

After Stabler left, they did a lot of experimenting and expanded the cast. Lot of great eps in those seasons. The shift to Benson as the main lead and damn near second in charge was weird at first but they found their groove (get use to seeing more of Olivia's relationships, her own arch enemy murder/rapist, and eventual decision to become a mother).

Things were also a little shaky after Munch left too. He was never that involved or had a lot of focus stories on him but his commentary was almost necessary.

I'd say those eps are worth the watcher just off the entertainment differed but still engaging TV.

I feel the same way. It’s almost as if they are setting her up to make a return to the show in the future

I was a part of an SVU group on FB that I joined well after I stopped watching. It seems like the biggest fans are older single women these days and they are ABSOLUTELY against Benson and Stabler hooking up. It's like they like Olivia as strong, independent woman they can look up to and root for. If she were to ever be with Elliot she'd be abandoning them. It's honestly one of the reasons I think the writers haven't made them an item yet. They are waiting until the show is on its very last leg to do it because there would be nowhere to go after that.

Sorry man this take is corny. Last thing I’d want is for the producers to turn this into the ultimate sappy corny story book ending.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

It won’t be a story book ending. It’ll just be wrapping up those characters storylines.

Pretty sure the show will go on even after Olivia is gone.

People won't stop committing SA if Benson and Stabler got together. The show is too popular for it to end even when Olivia calls it quits.

In fact, I can imagine the two of them living together, retired on a beach and then whomever the lead detective is seek them out for advice where they make a cameo appearance long after they have left. That's how you get viewers!

Again , Stabler and Olivia ending up together is a textbook definition of a storybook ending. It is not realistic and it would be sappy, corny and stereotypical . You two act like because they have been the originals they have to fall in love and live happily ever after lol.


They both can retire and each live separate lives and get drawn back with a spin off just like stable did. They don’t have to be together and live happily ever after to wrap up their storylines

I don’t agree at all that it is textbook or sappy or corny or not realistic.

Especially given its taking 30 years to do it.

Nothing textbook about killing off Elliot’s wife. Him already having children. Plus they’ll be 50+

The way they have been written doesn’t really point to that.
