Watching the SVU episode with Robin Williams. Bringing a sheep on Morning Joe and naming it Elliot was masterful trolling.

I really hope Carisi gets sucked into Rollins's white trash vortex and ends up drunkenly fist-fighting Declan over baby visitation or some poo poo.

WGN has weird censorship. The word "kike" musta come up 30 times this episode but it only got censored at the end. Also mid 90s law and order reminds me how hosed up the fringe right was in the 90s.

Going through old episodes of SVU, watch the Season 2 episode "Honor" if you want an idea of what pre-9/11 American views of Muslims were. (Spoiler: still pretty racist)

Is that the one with Marshall Manesh as this controlling Afghan diplomat who ordered his son to kill his daughter because she wasn't a virgin or something?

That's still not as bad as American Jihad, the episode of Vanilla where a rich kid had converted to Islam and murdered a professor's wife because she was raising awareness for Muslim women's rights, and it turned out his entire conversion was because his girlfriend had laughed at his small penis.

Going through early SVU, Season 3 seems to be when it starts getting really silly. The season finale involves a Catholic priest who was around when some boys were molested, except the twist is that he's a pedophile who successfully suppressed his urges, and the real molester is the Bishop. Also, Season 3 Episode 17 is the first onscreen mention of 9/11. That's the episode where Emily Deschanel from Bones is attacked and it turns out her apartment is full of little cameras that were installed by a stalker.

Season 2 of SVU has some great Finn and Munch moments though. If they do go through with giving Finn a parakeet that would be great, especially if it helped him solve mysteries sometimes.

It was great to have Munch back for an episode, but it was really wierd. Finn acts like Munch isn't retired/working for the DA and they act like he's still working there, then Benson has a bonding scene with him at the end? That was oddly incoherent.

That whole thing felt like Warren Leight really wanted another go with Munch before he hands SVU off to Rick Eid.

The last episode is so drat cringey, but ... possibly kind of authentic considering the subject-matter, and not all up in the department's own business ... for once (after the intro, which was OKAY.) edit ... whoops spoke too soon. Spoiler alert: Timby posted:Considering they're so desperate to give Hargitay new stories that they put Benson into a relationship with the IAB douchebag ... no. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 02:46 on May 17, 2016 |

Bill Duke was a lawyer on SVU last night. I haven't seen Bill Duke in anything in probably 15 years, which is a shame, because Bill Duke owns.

Tucker is great, because Robert John Burke plays him as hilariously stern. He's a super by-the-rules-guy, with a good heart deep down. I've only just found out that he played Robocop in Robocop 3, and that it co-stars Jill Hennessy, Mako, CCH Pounder and Rip Torn. I kinda need to see it now - I've been avoiding it because of how badits meant to be. Best moment this season is when Benson and Tucker are watching that dating show, Benson asks "Who watches this stuff" then cut to Rollins watching the show, while eating popcorn with her dog. I like how they've made Rollins watching reality TV a part of her character. That's, what three episodes she's helped solve the crime by watching bad reality TV? There's the one where she's watching not-American idol with Finn in the squad room for no apparent reason, and the episode where she binge watches not-The Duggars to solve the case. SVU is a show I love and hate in equal measure. At the moment, it's better than it was during the height of insanity of the Stabler years, but not as good as it was a season or two ago. It varies massivle from episode to episode.

In 2016 they did a "Shot on his last day" episode. They even off screened a fiancee for him. The absolute worst.

I was watching a random season 4 episode the other day and Daniel Dae Kim was the medical examiner. He was so young I actually picked him from the voice before the face.
