Okay, so now we know what Stabler has been a maniac all season. I figured they’d just have him snap and kill a perp or something. I didn’t think they’d take his family away.
So now SVU is doing the “you pick the ending!” gimmick. I’m leaning towards “Not guilty” right now. I guess this could be our jury room. What do you guys think?

I hate this gimmick.
I was leaning towards not-guilty the entire time.
I did the Stabler Waffle pretty much the entire episode but by the end, despite the forensic evidence saying otherwise, I just didn’t buy what the girl was saying. It seemed too much like, “I’m trying to make everyone jealous of me by having the hot relations with you but you don’t like my art? Fuck you, buddy.”
This Wednesday’s Law & Order episode is balls.

| How is Southerlyn making her escape? The dismissals and her seeming sensitivity to the defendants’ plights in both episodes makes one think she’ll leave and become a defense attorney. But that’s been done twice already(Robinette and Jamie Ross), so hopefully Wolf will concoct something fresh. How about she throws a case and gets disbarred? Or she joins the ACLU? (I can imagine how Branch would take that…) Or, playing on McCoy’s lecherous past, she claims that he repeatedly tried to (INSERT OBVIOUS LEGAL BRIEFS JOKE HERE) and sues the NYC DA office? If they’re going to disrespect and bench her, she might as well take them down and permanently smear the office on the way out. All not likely, but just some ideas to make another characters’ rotation out something memorable. |
Somebody told me that she might be replaced by Diane Kruger. I doubt that, of course but still…
There was an original L&O marathon on TNT today FYI.
EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently the new ADA is this one.
Is she the blonde girl in NATIONAL TREASURE (I haven’t seen the movie yet)? She’s pretty cute and I don’t know that it’s possible for her to be a worse actress than Rohm. Upgrade.
Yes, that’s the one.
Last night’s SVU was very, very good.
Yeah, it was. Benson made a really low blow with that “rebound” comment. She really hates the new head shrinker. That thing about the bone marrow transplant and DNA switch was weird.
Hey, did they announce the verdict for the Rocketeer case and I missed it?

I don’t think they did. If so, I missed it too.
So what happened, I missed it. Did Stabler get his kids back?

Nothing happened on that front.

I hate it when you don’t get to find out if the perp got off (on a technicality like the medical records for the suspect being received under false pretenses) or got convicted. It’s like the writer only could come up with 4/5ths of a show and decided to throw in the towel. |
The episode did and didn’t end. There usually aren’t many trials on SVU, so the whole episode is about catching the bad guy. SVU achieved this last night.
I think it goes back and forth between showing a trial and just catching the perv of the week. I really wanted to see the trial outcome last night, though. Between Honeybunny offing herself and Stabler scamming for the University medical records it could have been an interesting trial.

I really thought when they caught that other crazy guy that they were going to put him on trial. I moaned, because I thought I could see the outcome coming.
I was pretty satisfied with how things ended last night.

It’s pretty obvious that most of the criminals committed the crime, but weather they get away with it in court isn’t shown.
That was a really fantastic episode. Does the new shrink mean that B.D.'s out then? I’d miss him a lot if that’s the case but the new woman has already brought up a lot of interesting relationship issues in the characters.

He had it coming. You treat the Benson shitty and you get burned.
I hope Stabler does get his family back or next season could just be him doing odd jobs trying to pay child support for his nine or ten kids.

Wong is out for a while because of a movie or a play, I forget which. This new lady will be replacing him in the interim.
I think it’s only for a few episodes, just enough for a little Stabler/Dr story arc I’d imagine.
