'A Hole in the World'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I am so fucking tired of sexual crimes against women being used as shorthand for the ultimate let's-form-a-posse-and-ride-em-down crime. That's my problem with SVU -- the S was supposed to be for special, but might as well have been for sexual.
I don't mind a woman being a woman. I get annoyed with each woman being a pussy.
No big shocker that a group that deals with serial criminals is going to be facing mostly men who target women. Sure, I don't expect 100% reality from any TV show, but if half the perps were women? I'd expect the storyline to involve an alien race or something.
Ita: Or one killer / week.

But "In New York City, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous." It's not like they aren't up front with it.

I'm not claiming to have been conned into watching, or anything. Just that...this week, a woman is raped, and Olivia feels terrible about it, because she's a child of rape. Next week, a teenaged girl will be raped, and the guy will feel awful, because he has daughters. Lather, rinse, repeat, toss in the odd homosexual freakery, and then you're golden.
Or ... BORING.
I've alsoe heard it called "L&O: Rape Is Bad"
That's about all it was for me. Got old for me pretty quickly.

May I tag?
I have thoughts on The Inside and Rebecca's peril. It did give me pause. I think this is ultimately because she's green, and she'll learn and get better. What's interesting to me is that even when Rebecca is tied to the railroad track, she's still strong.
I just have had the benefit of seeing them all laid out, so I know she's not always playing Dawn.
I watched the SVU Premiere. I never watched again, and I think I got turned off of regular L&O at the same time. By chance, did SVU premiere the same year that Jesse L. Martin started on L&O?
I've also heard it called "L&O: Rape Is Bad"
By me, possibly. I don't really watch it, either.

Now for some reason I'm expecting a show called "L&O: Math is hard."

I thought that's what Numb3rs was supposed to be.
