I'm not missing Meloni but I don't like how Benson has become this wise-mother-sage or whatev in his absence.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Warren Leight, the showrunner for seven seasons of L&O:CI, is now running SVU, so I'm giving it another chance. I was weary of the drama from both Olivia and Elliot, and their increasingly loose interpretation of the rules.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm just tuning her out. Kelly Giddish and Danny Pino have surprised me.

He is the only reson why I kept my SVU season pass. Otherwise, I would have waited to catch the inevitable rerun on USA.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Man, I don't care what you all say, I'm not watching SVU! Uh uh. I watched a couple of seasons of that show and it scarred me for life.
Ginger, I'm not going to promise you won't have issues with POI, but I have yet to feel that Jesus killed someone and it wasn't a case of self-defense. I think they try to make that point clear.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh God. Poor Linus Roache. I didn't know! He's a marvellous actor and deserves better than the trainwreck that is SVU. Well, at least he's earning a decent paycheck and living in New York, which is something, I guess.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Linus or Jesus
snort It took me a second to figure this out!
Vigilantism is a fantasy of justice and fairness, emphasis on fantasy. In RL, it's bad, but in RL, there's no Machine, either. Some things I can't deal with even in fantasy, and I get it if vigilantism is that for anyone else, it just isn't that for me.

God, don't get me started on how much I hate Detective Benson. Every time Mariska gets her(seemingly inevitable) Best Actress Emmy nomination, I think "What? Did all the other actresses DIE?" That must be how Mark Hellish felt. But I did have to quit watching, cause I went from fan to casual viewer to *very* casual viewer who was a. pissed about how they treated Munch and 2. Only managed to catch the ones where Olivia's quivering lip played the lead. Even Psycho!Stabler only helped so much. Also, the Famous Guest is totally always the perp. Leave it to network TV to make catching rapists boring. George Pelecanos says the crime procedural is today's Western.

He's on the show?!?! (I'm kidding, though he is slightly more visible this year.) It's a great gig for Belzer; hardly any work at all.

OK, I can see that, but he was kind of a gag machine a few years ago, compared to the things he got to do on Homicide. But characters on Homicide got to have more dimension, in general

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That was a fun episode of Castle.
