SO EXCITED, I got accidentally addicted to SVU not too long ago and am looking forward to more Law & Order, especially if it is occasionally bonkers.

Seeing how SVU has handled masks during COVID has been a little hard to watch though, there’s people in interrogation rooms taking off their masks or like 1 person wearing a mask and then taking it off while touching their face to hug someone and poo poo like that. So probably accurate!

Extremely enjoyed both episodes although I agree that the theme for the new show sounds loving weird 2 hours of Law & Order on Thursdays!

Instantly hated Detective Washburn on OC but I’m guessing that was intentional  also it was nice to see Sergeant Khaldun on SVU again, he’s so dreamy

I hate being on the West Coast, I was watching the post count for this thread go up like poo poo WHO DIED NOW All the awkward Rollins/Carisi tension is killing me and now Carisi finally got a date with someone after like 6 years or however long he’s been on the show and I bet he’s going to keep cancelling on her for Rollins. Also lmao at her dad giving her some Nice Guy speech while he’s on his possible deathbed And the mask inconsistency has always been terrible in SVU but jesus was it ever bad in this episode, the hospital scenes were the worst  The Kathy Stabler reveal is kind of intriguing but yeah, idk if it’s enough to do another two hour special. going to watch it anyway though, hahaha

Looks like the same thing is happening next week as well according to the NBC website, weird. Has anyone even watched The Manifest? I’ve heard absolutely nobody say anything about it, positive or negative. I guess the week after we get both shows back again and that crossover episode?

drat, I need to go back and watch some older seasons, I’ve missed a lot of SVU before season 11. One thing from more recent episodes of SVU that I’ve enjoyed: the past few times they’ve investigated a crime that happened on a porn site or an app the owner has been played by John Waters. I don’t even think it was the same character either since I don’t think the other characters recognized him as the same guy iirc. Kind of hope that it’s just him every time and nobody notices that all the porn site owners look exactly the same  edit: poo poo, sorry that image was so huge, phoneposting HOLY FUCK fucked around with this message at 22:03 on May 2, 2021 |

I liked Cassidy too, his undercover stuff and trying to come back from loving up and getting demoted made him interesting although i think his relationship with Benson felt a little weird. Definitely wasn't dull, though. I think you're right about Dobbs being there for one season, seemed like a competent but boring dude. also for ADAs: i forgot Peter Stone who was on for like one season until Carisi took over. that was fairly recently too! i can barely remember anything about him

Hand Knit posted:Peter Stone's characterization of "extremely ripped former MLB player." In one of the earlier episodes of his run, it opens with him being melancholy during a threesome. Oh poo poo, now I remember! That scene was ridiculous  And then there was a sad storyline with his sister being in a psych ward and his self-destructive spiral into drinking and more sad sex scenes

Speaking of Raul Esparza, the episode that they're rerunning tomorrow on NBC during OC's usual timeslot is the Barba vs Carisi courtroom showdown one.  LAWYER FIGHT! I miss Barba  Also where are people watching original L&O at the moment in the US? I looked at Netflix and Hulu and over-the-air tv just seems to have constant NCIS on at all times but no L&O

Thanks for the help everyone  I don't have cable (so no We TV) since pretty much everything I watch is available either on streaming or over the air broadcast so that might be why I haven't really come across it yet. I did find it on some mornings though on ion and whatever the hell Bounce is, so that's good!

Finally got a chance to watch yesterday’s episodes and  at everything. Glad to hear OC was renewed mostly because I still want Wheatley to go full on Bond villainHearing Sgt. Bell’s stepson (? Can’t remember what their relationship was) in OC talk excitedly about Django Reinhardt with the repair shop owner right before getting his hand crushed was especially - Reinhardt was a jazz guitarist who lost the use of two of his fingers and nearly died in an accident (he did end up adapting to this though and kept playing).Also was it just me or was the dramatic music in OC… screechier than usual this week? I kind of liked most of it, especially the weirdly unsettling strings during Stabler and Angela Wheatley’s ill-advised makeout session but during the part when Gina goes into that building after shots were fired it got straight up painful. I haven’t had that reaction to any of the other episodes so it’s probably just me but ow

Oh god, creepy kid is even creepier now I liked Gina I thought they were going to do a fake out too, wasn’t that other guy with them helping the cops at one point or was that someone else?The scene with Stabler subduing the guy in that bathhouse with a towel as half naked sweaty dudes gingerly crept by in the background cracked me the hell up

Hand Knit posted:For some reason this is tied to his romantic arc, but at least it gave us the "Stabler tries to date again" undercover scene which is still the high point of the series. That scene was great, haha. 100% agreed about how flat the rest of the OC unit is, I can’t even remember the names of the characters half the time unless I look them up either. I’d like to think that maybe they’ll start fleshing them out a bit next season now that the series has been renewed and it looks like they might have more time to do so but that’s probably overly optimistic of me

I love this. I’m going to go watch it from the beginning too I think, I started at Season 11ish. Also the most recent SVU episode (spoilered more for subject matter I guess?) hit really close to home for me- my mom was like that to us too, minus the sexual abuse (as far as I know  ) i think they handled the subject well, especially the “why didn’t you just throw her off you and leave” question. Sometimes there are things other than (or in addition to) the threat of physical violence that can make someone hesitant or afraid to do anything. Being terrified about making the other person angrier to the point that they escalate is a huge part of that, especially if you already feel like you can’t leave.tl;dr svu good, also oc good. I found the ending of oc to be especially satisfying

I think we don’t have to spoiler tag once something has aired unless we’re posting about it in a general thread where people might not watch or be caught up to the most recent episodes. As far as I know, anyway, I know threads sometimes have their own rules. I mostly spoiler tagged my last post because I threw a bunch of personal poo poo in there and not spoiler tagging it felt wrong somehow. I’m sick of the benson/stabler shipping stuff too honestly. I think they’d be awful together, it feels like there’s way too much poo poo between them to make anything work or even be remotely functional or healthy and it would be kind of boring to watch. Like it’s so obvious that it’s boring, if that makes any sense. I usually love excruciatingly drawn-out will they won’t they type of situations but ugh, not this one.

For SVU: Yelled GOD JUST KISS ALREADY at the tv. That was a sweet moment, even without the mustache  I’m worried about Chief Garland, I thought he was going to straight up keel over in that one scene when he was talking to Benson and Carisi. Maybe he’s next, Carisi did make that ominous comment about seeing people with that same look on their face quickly retiring or dying  OC: Guess that’s why we hadn’t had much development with those two detectives  I didn’t expect it to be Morales, he was so boring I didn’t even consider it.

YeahTubaMike posted:They didn't make Nicole NEARLY unlikable enough. Everyone got along with her when they met her, she never yelled at him or acted domineering -- we never had a reason to dislike her, and the fact that she felt that marriage was a patriarchal institution (which, mind you, is something that we didn't know until just now) absolutely does not count. 100% agreed about Nicole. I like Carisi but he sounded like a total jerk when he was talking about her. She’s way cooler than him anyway

Oh god, I finally caught up on everything and lmao. Stabler really is super terrible at being undercover, he was being so obvious at that party. Also when he got drugged I at first thought that entire conversation with Benson about the letter didn’t actually happen and he was in Bell’s living room the whole time tripping balls imagining it. Also I’m enjoying Albanian Crime Lord Vinnie Jones

YeahTubaMike posted:Welp, OC is officially better than SVU now. Let us rejoice. Hahah, you weren't kidding, I really enjoyed the most recent episode. Also when I was catching up I saw that there was an episode each of SVU and OC in the beginning of December that I totally missed?  SVU: BARBA!! I'm still not 100% sure that I get his motive for taking Wheatley's case besides wanting the NYPD to not get away with sketchy poo poo that they did to get him but it seems like there was something else going on there too. I think I have to rewatch that episode again, I thought I would be alright with the subtitles off but it turns out I wasn't!It was cool seeing Donal Logue again although I straight up didn't recognize him without facial hair until I heard his voice. it cracks me up how quickly Rollins gets white supremacists/bigots/etc to spill everything by leaning really hard on her accent or pretending to be sympathetic to them like with the guy who had bombs in his closet OC: Poor Eli Glad they didn't kill him off though, that'd be awful. Also ew at Stabler asking Benson how many guys she'd been with since he was away. Like holy poo poo, that's so gross. gently caress you, Stabler.Most recent episode was great, it was awesome to see Robin Lord Taylor as Sebastian/Constantine. Wheatley is back to being villainous which was entertaining and I'm glad to see that Angela's also on board. Also I felt bad for the people in the community who will just be waiting forever for their library to be built because Kilbride's a piece of poo poo My spouse generally won't watch any of the l&o shows with me but this happens almost every week: him: *pokes head in door* Is Ice-T still in the show? me: yes him: oh thank god *leaves the room again* EDIT: worded some things all hosed up HOLY FUCK fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Jan 9, 2022 |
