Old Doggy Bastard posted:Spoilers for the latest episode of Law & Order: No Subtitle, McCoy's daughter is a bad daughter and bad lawyer to the point of potentially ineffective assistance of counsel. Doesn't she have a legal obligation to bring that offer at the end to the defendant or if he's far too loopy to decide for himself at least his wife? Her whole "I know what they are interested in" was gross, way to make the entire trial about you and not only try and lean on your daddy ( who has a massive legacy built of public service ) to break ethical code, but to get mad at him for turning you down. At least by the end she seemed to be crying because she realized she was in the wrong, was bad and should feel bad. In fairness, Vanilla has spent years intimating that Jack McCoy is a terrible, terrible father.

Me, watching this combo SVU/OC episode a day later: -Benson gets shot and Stabler brought her to an urgent care?? God drat they over hyped that poo poo in all the previews. -Why is all of NYPD SVU and OC in the middle of Ohio? Lol come on they have no loving jurisdiction. -"So what do we do now professor?" She's worked at a college for like 6 months, is a profiling savant now, oh ok -What's his face OC dude talking about his future plans on the Canadian train, he's about to get shot isn't he? -Lol, yep -They're air lifting the him from Ohio to New York?? God this is bad. -Jet was in a relationship with the dude? I guess I missed that -Muncy nooo I was just starting to like you -Can't Benson and Stabler just kiss already  Those were certainly some season finales

Arbite posted:A bit silly that attempted murder of a police officer wasn't added to the charges. I half expected them to take that plea and then charge him with that after the money was recovered. I'm glad that I'm not only one that noticed that A.) that guy did look a lot like Jay Bauman, but that B.) the episode didn't end after the warehouse scene. They mentioned he slipped his ankle monitor (which I'm sure carries some kind of punishment of jail time), and on top of shooting Cosgrove, he also took that woman hostage, which could count as both kidnapping, witness intimidation, and possibly attempted murder. It seems like if they couldn't get him indicted on the murder, everything else combined together would have meant an extremely long sentence in prison. - In general, I feel like I've come around with the new L&O, because this season feels a lot better than the last. Watching it with my family, my mom thinks that Connie Shi (playing Violet Yee, aka the lady who's always doing the tech stuff) doesn't get enough recognition. Also, none of really seem to like Price, and it sounds like a couple people here don't either.

Sirotan posted:Me, watching this combo SVU/OC episode a day later: I feel so bad about what they've done to Rollins. Like, she was never a super educated or expert investigator, making her into Will Graham after half a year and dressing her like some sort of Agent Elizabeth Holmes was uncomfortable. Especially considering her character was fine/good already. Outside of the death, which was decently acted and made me sad, the finales kind of wiffed for me.

They spent most of last season expanding his character. He had a teen daughter who factored into a few episodes, I think one or two episodes of an old friend being the bad guy, stuff like that. I was enjoying him a lot more last season and was hoping he'd be the new lennie, so this sucks.

Watched the premiere for L/O. Was pretty good, if a little over the top with the message. Although, at the beginning of the episode Tech person finds a camera showing the crazy guy grabbing the coat out of the garbage, but no one suggests going back to see who put the coat in the garbage?

I'm about halfway through the episode, but Lmao at how they wrote out Detective Burn Notice. edit: hahaha, okay, well played show a complaint I have with modern L&O is that the prosecution wins too many ambiguous cases, and this time when, imo, it was fairly open and shut, they lose! Good job howe_sam fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Jan 19, 2024 |

I'm pretty sure they were making fun of the constant foot chases in the new SVU with the fat goon who bought the sex doll going to run and the detectives just rolling their eyes because he was too pathetic to get anywhere.

howe_sam posted:The therapist's about face was some extreme narrative convenience The implication I got was that Kelton (man, between this and season 6 of Chicago PD, Rick Eid really has a thing for writing bad guys named Kelton) paid her off and she was just too chickenshit to admit it to Price and Maroun. All in all, a pretty good farewell to Jack McCoy. He got to have one last ride in the driver's seat in the courtroom and he got to flip the bird to a corrupt government official one last time.

Yeah that was weird. How did her patients even know she would testify? Why wasn't she called out for caring more about losing customers than jailing a killer? Usually when the culprit pays off a witness they flee the country to go on an unannounced vacation, so they can't be subpoena'd, which wasn't considered here for some reason. I don't know if the writing has changed or I'm just noticing more legal loopholes compared to 15 years ago. Also there should probably be a word for the evidence/testimony that never makes it to court but still has to exist to convince the audience beyond a reasonable doubt that they're convicting the right guy. But yeah it was a good finish for McCoy.

Outside of Dick Wolf (who basically just gives script notes nowadays), no one from the original Law & Order production or writing staff is involved in the revival--though Wolf attempted to recruit René Balcer, who turned him down in favor of sticking with the FBI shows--and the current executive producer / showrunner is Rick Eid, who also shepherded Chicago PD through some really batshit insane / stupid seasons.
