Did I miss how he knew he had a photographic memory? Was it his answer to what the kids were wearing? Seems pretty risky assuming someone who happened to remember clothing that he saw (while sober) was worn by people committing a violent crime against a friend would be able to remember everything that was asked of him and jury makeup while he is drunk.

I fired the episode up on Hulu and jumped to the questioning and it looks like the attorney just found out while redirecting. First he asked what the defense just asked him and he recounted every question in order so the attorney then asked about what the defendants were wearing that night which he then recounted in detail. Not sure if there were any clues before that.

The Vanilla episode with Chevy Chase has a loving hardcore ending where he tries to sell his son down the river to avoid going to jail.

That was the Mel Gibson episode, right? They did a similar thing on SVU with Michael McKean as a sleazy producer.

Edit: We canceled our cable about a month ago. God, I miss Vanilla. :(

As great as Lenny was, I kinda wish he'd stayed that sketchy and flamboyant. He got the grizzled wiseass thing going on real quick afterwards.

Currently on the recent crossover. Groaned when I saw Yates again but it's actually been pretty exciting.

He claimed to have an eidetic memory earlier in the episode which Barba recalled.

I honestly don't know how the blond lady in the Chicago PD crossover didn't get fired. Blatant insubordination, endangering an officer's life (her reaction to Dodds being shot was to run out waving a flashlight everywhere, which could have gotten them both killed), and suffering with emotional/mental problems that are obviously impairing her from doing her job well...

Police shows in general are a little loose with the rules.

This goes back quite a while too; in the X-Files every major character has either faked their death or be framed for murder, some multiple times.

Been mentioned before but no Law & Order character should have a job by this point. Even Ben Stone and Jack McCoy played fast & loose at times.

The best was when Michael Cutter went and did something (I can't remember what) behind Jack's back and it had a whole bunch of consequences and Jack was all "NOW I KNOW WHY ADAM SCHIFF WAS SO GRUMPY ALL THE TIME".

That's fair, but there's a history at least of SVU characters suffering consequences for their actions. The psych guy was suspended for giving the druggie some sort of illegal heroin drug, that one ADA was disbarred for evidence tampering, I'm sure Stabler was also put on desk duty at one point.

This lady acts like a total dipshit and nothing happens.

"Darkness," the second episode of Season 18. Cutter tries to get Judge Bradley to sign a warrant for Lupo and Green to break into a hardware store as they're looking for a missing girl, Bradley tells him to go pound sand and Cutter tells the detectives to go in anyway.

"What's next, Mike, juggling chainsaws?"

Yeah, but that makes perfect sense, because the city councilor has pull and the incident made headlines. Of course he'd be able to get Logan shipped off to Staten Island. The stuff happening on SVU might have been less ethical, but it was also less visible.

That's right, that was it.

The best part of that is the way Cutter told Jack about it.

"What's wrong with the warrant Mike??"
"There's nothing wrong with it?"
"Why not?"
"Because... there was no warrant?"

Warren Leight, who has been running SVU ever since Neal Baer's departure following Season 12, is leaving after this season concludes. Replacing him is Rick Eid, who previously served as an executive producer on the decent-ish Season 16 and the holy balls loving terrible Season 17 of Vanilla, and was also largely in charge of Trial By Jury.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I saw this story on Yahoo and wonder how soon before we go full circle and this becomes an SVU episode.

http://news.yahoo.com/recall-issued-mom-discovers-pedophile-144446471.html

quote:

A vigilant Florida mom discovered a symbol on her child's toy truck that led to a massive recall.

Nicole O'Kelly bought the pink truck for her 2-year-old daughter at a Monster Jam event in the Tampa area. At first, she didn't think much of the heart symbol on the back of the toy. But her older daughter, a Law & Order: Special Victims Unit fan (and seriously smart cookie), noticed the symbol from the TV show and told her mother immediately.

According to Slate, the symbol, a heart surrounded by a larger heart, is a secret code for pedophiles. It signals that a female child is ready to be trafficked for sex.

I looked it up and according to Snopes child molesters actually use that symbol, and what's more it's the exact same one line design instead of "just" a heart within a heart. Really bizarre. Normally I'd be trashing them for sensationalism and getting their info from a trashy shitshow like SVU, but if I was a parent I'd probably be concerned too in this case.

Watching an old rerun and Abbie just called Jack "John".

It is weird hearing that without it coming from like a judge asking for John J McCoy. I mean Abbie trying to stop Jack from getting into a fistfight with Green, but still.

This episode has to be a season finale...It's got Jamie, Skoda,a school shooting.

If I'm guessing right, that sounds like School Daze, which oddly enough was not the Season 11 finale. (I think that year ended with a goofy episode about vote rigging for a senate race.)

Yup. On both counts.
Did vanilla have an early premiere, or did they find a nice not-very-controversial season premiere for 12 with the whole 9/11 thing. Cause the season 12 premiere is the one with the pit bull....
