Rollins needs to go back to Atlanta Georgia and make a law and order Georgia 😂😂
Forgive me if this seems like a remedial question, but was this episode recycled for SVU and Organized Crime; did they at least shoot some extra scenes for SVU? I recall seeing this on Organized Crime. I'm actually watching it now from SVU-verse.
So did Barba come back to Manhattan to defend Wheatley after leaving? I'm just trying to understand the chronology because surely Wheatley has heard of him as the DA but in the interview, he doesn't seem Wheatley even knew who he was.
I can always tell what season it was without looking it up based on Mariskas hair style. But shes pretty much had the same hair style for awhile now. Last major hair change she had was after Lewis kidnapped her.

Sad of course, but let's hope there isn't any egregious reason behind it like this one comment eluded which made me think of Law and Order right away.
comment a qoute (rather it’s popular or unpopular) and people have to guess who said it.
mine:
“because i do know what it means to love someone unconditionally.”
Was disgusting and difficult to watch. He should have been disciplined.
I can only remember one part--Rollins lures some predator into a hotel or motel room to trap him. She goes farther than she's supposed to and it could be entrapment, I can't remember. All I remember is the team being upset she did more than she was supposed to.
Absolutely amazed, heartbreaking & also very disturbed by this episode!! It really showed a different type of feeling that I haven’t felt in awhile with SVU. You know a show is serious when there is barely any music being played. Definitely a nomination coming for this epsiode because WOW 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Either killed off or written off.
I'm getting to the later seasons and all of a sudden they decide to write the new detective "cat" off the show or starting to citing she's finding it too hard to handle.
I think the way Amora also left the show bugged me. He was denied promotion and then decides it's time to move on? I wished they considered the rapport that these characters have with each other and stop introducing new faces all the time. I get why Stabler lefts he could have his own show. Munch was getting old and retired same for Cragen. I read they also wrote Amanda off the show. Was funny hearing Fin ask Cat..so you want to be a ADA like Carissi? lol
Im new to the community, is this ep considered a memorable one? I think its genius.
I’m rewatching and just finished season 23. I’m just realizing that Benson is Barba’s “Stabler”. Barba will always defend Benson the way she defends Stabler. The loyalty is so intense! It finally clicked for me when Barba said “in this case, I can, because I do know what it means to love someone unconditionally. When you’re ready to stop feeling betrayed by me, I’ll be here.”
I forget how good these episodes are, specifically 2-4. So many episodes with plots where I am torn as a viewer at the end. They truly explored deep moral conflicts in many episodes. They were not afraid to get dark and twisty; the characters always had depth that made them believable. It’s interesting to watch just to see how the psyche can get damaged irreparably. Anyway, had to share somewhere.
I’m trying to find this episode where Captain Cragen had told the squad to follow and cat call a guy they accuse of r*ping women and they follow him places I don’t know if I’m remembering it correctly or if this isn’t how the episode transpired but i vividly remember the squad catcalling or “harassing” a man who they suspect of abusing women. I don’t know if I’m wrong or anything.
I’m on season 11. He’s a hot head who can’t control his temper. I can’t wait til he leaves. Benson on the other hand is an angel who can’t do no wrong. Love her.
Currently doing a rewatch and just got to the Glasgowman's Wrath. The ending leaves a bit of a question for me, as they go in the elevator Carisi stands behind the two girls, Perry and Mia and notices their pinkie fingers touching in some sort of secret code, hinting that they both were in on stabbing Zoe. Would've loved to see some follow up on that, but never happened.
If Dodds hadn't died in a hostage situation, I believe Olivia probably wouldn't have saved Carisi in the episode 18x07. She managed to save him because she absolutely did not want to lose someone else in her squad, and so she was extra determined to protect him and go to save him. So if you could choose between this happening, or Dodds never encountering this situation and survive, only for Carisi to die instead in season 18?
Kat Tamins annoying Carisi is very funny to me actually. Like Carisi will breathe around her and she'll be like
(⩺_⩹)
Like I get she's very passionate regarding the cases but he tries to tell her the jury won't like that and she's just like "eh, your are lousy ADA"
Which episodes have the most court scenes/time or just really good trials?
