This was a good episode. Very scary.
Teenagers acting like they have nothing to lose. No thought into how their actions are hurting others and fucking up their own lives.
I do notice that Mariska’s dramatic acting always involves whispering.
Also noticed now that Olivia got a bit of Elliott in her now…thought she was going to take that weasel kid out to the river to end him.
I just watched 1:22 where the psychiatrist interviewed the squad and she and Olivia were talking about an incident where Stabler (almost?) got shot four months earlier? What did I miss and when did that happen?
I get the feeling he’s not staying around for long but the few episodes he’s been in I’ve really enjoyed his performances
I saw the opening of a season 25 episode and noticed there was only 4 mains in the intro
The seasons I have been watching (I’m on 13 at the moment) have had anything from 6-9 people in the intro
So do you prefer a lot of cast members or less cast members and more focus on the cases etc
Does anyone know if there is a shoot today my gf is trying to see one?
I thought here we are…back at it. We were almost there; We had a vic, we had perps, and a witness/hostage. As an added bonus, outdoor scenes, extras and even a mention of TARU. Then it went downhill, the doctor couldn’t care less…The scenes seemed rushed. Additionally, what is with the whisper yelling!?! This does not add to Olivia’s character arc. Is she becoming unhinged? She used to be steadfast and insightful. This was just odd. Please stop this and let Maddie live in peace.
Watching SVU on Hulu, season 7 episode 11 at 29:16 the character clearly says "what do you think it is, porn?" But the audio sounds like a bizarre dub of "Plurn." Is this some weird new rule about network tv?
Also spoilers if you havent seen this episode:
So it turns out there are a lot of episodes from when Stabler was still in the show (i am so bad at rewatching episodes ive seen a million times with every show i watch), but i just watched this episode for the first time and sweet jesus it was rough.
Plus, extra bonus of having Warner in this episode being sassy because along with George, Melinda is my other fav non-main cast.
SVU fans. There is a poll at the Law and Order subreddit in an effort to renew OC. Thought you might be interested.
amaro won my heart in “funny valentine” that’s papi🔥
I’m so glad I got to know Reddit and this channel! None of my friends is watching SVU and I’m currently rewatching most episodes and wanted to chat about characters and situations etc. but none of my friends could talk with me about svu.. So thanks for your tireless will to discuss about different things and thanks for helping finding particular episodes! Love to all of you ♥️
The entire time Law & Order SVU has been on the air, there has only been one commanding officer of the Special Victims Unit. For the first 15 seasons, Captain Cragen was the commanding officer until he stepped down and Sergeant Benson took over as acting commander before being promoted to lieutenant and captain. The same was true for the original Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
I could understand there being another captain or lieutenant being at SVU for when Captain Benson is off from work, but it makes no sense to have two captains working the same hours in the same unit, especially since the new captain who transferred from IAB never worked in SVU and because of her rank, she should be the commanding officer of another unit.
I know that his actor is 14 but Noah is only like 10/11 at the oldest right?
I'm expecting them to magicallt age him up in a bout a year or two when he's 15/16 because it won't be particularly believable to have a kid deep in his teens who is tall and has a deep voice pass for anything but a high school kid
I ove this episode so much - I know Paxton isn’t a massive fan favourite but I really like the fact she is messy, raw and real. And also, she comes in at the end to own her shit. Also really feel for Olivia attending her Mom’s grave 🥲
Yesterday was Joe Velasco 50th Episode. Next Week Will be Carisi’s 200th Episode.
Two episodes come to mind: Intimidation Game and Info Wars
Intimidation Game just fails overall by make a composite rendition of Anita Sarkessian and other women but also kinda blanket the gaming community in a terrible light. Honestly this episode need to deal with the real problems that gamergate has like online harassment and how the community varies. Instead, they escalated to a level of violence that DID NOT happen in reality make it insane.
Info Wars made me so mad because of the behavior of Olivia towards the victim but her overall insistence she has to be lying and going out of her way to discredit her. This is while the suspect she pointed out had matching DNA and the instrument of assault on with him. This episode would have been a lot better if they actually talked about this bias and Benson getting lambasted by Dobbs Sr.
But what do you think is the worst episode?
I really don’t get warm with Cassidy and I can’t tell you why 😅 In my opinion, he is not an enrichment for the show 🙆🏼♀️
Maybe it's just me but this season massive lack of courtroom drama/scenes why is that ?
In “Children of Wolves,” in Olivia’s closet, next to one of the locations of The Box, there were a couple of photo albums, and one of them was monogrammed “R.”
Who’s “R”?
