Law and Order SVU - Who watched last night?

[undeterred]

So how does Elliot get away with kissing his new partner? I was waiting for him to get together with Olivia!

[SeattleGirl]

1. Elliot is feeling lost right now.

His marriage is over, Olivia is not his partner any more......His family and his partner were his anchors, and with them gone, at least for now, he's adrift.

[Darth_Kitten]

2. I must have missed that.....

I think I fell asleep. :(

[Kat45]

3. I wondered that myself.

[huskerlaw]

4. I am told that

the future may look better for Elliot and Olivia after she gets back from Oregon.

(but I didn't tell you that...)

[tinfoil tiaras]

5. Aw, Elliot and Olivia

so cute!

Though I have to admit, my favorite on there is Munch, because in one episode, he was talking to this kid or something and he was like "If i had kids, they'd be called munchkins" and it was uber funny :rofl:

[Drum]

7. Det. Munch is awesome.

Richard Belzer was the same character for a bunch of seasons of "Homicide: Life on the Street" which was set in Baltimore. A very good series IMO, and the same wound-up John Munch was there in the mix. I recommend this series, if you like a good police drama.

[tinfoil tiaras]

8. Awesome...sounds cool

i love crime dramas like L&O and the stuff that comes on A&E in the summertime...

[Skittles]

9. I agree

his character is underused

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. Homicide = best cop show ever.

:thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

17. "Homicide" was a great series!

Used to watch it all the time.

[Rob H.]

30. Belzer set a record of sorts playing Munch, iirc

He played Munch on episodes of Law & Order, The X-Files, and Homicide that were all broadcast during the same week.

Here's another bit of trivia from wikipedia:

Munch's appearance on Sesame Street, which aired August 14, 2006, made him the only fictional character played by a single actor to appear on eight different television shows. These shows were on four different networks: NBC (Homicide: Life on the Street, the Law & Order shows), FOX (The X-Files, Arrested Development), UPN (The Beat), and PBS (Sesame Street).

I've been saying since the very beginning that Munch (and now Munch and Tutuola) should be getting way more screen time. Glad to see there are other Munch fans around. :)

[Efilroft Sul]

33. The Munch character also appeared in X-Files.

He was in a flashback episode where Mulder wore a wedding ring and smoked cigarettes. Mulder ended up naked and screaming like a loon in some warehouse, and Munch and his crew found him.

[Drum]

41. OMG, that's right!

I had forgotten about that X-Files. What a pleasure...Munch is welcome anywhere, and that droll thing of R. Belzer's is terrific.

Thx for the reminders! :)

[Arkana]

12. Munch and his conspiracy theories rule.

Fin Tutuola does as well, but I have a real hard time with Ice-T as a detective.

[lildreamer316]

13. I love Belzer AND Ice-T.

Both their characters are just great. Dry humor and sarcasam, with that heart underneath. Love it.

[BlueIris]

16. Okay, seriously? I despise SVU, but I watch it every now and then b/c

Ice-T OWNS every plot or subplot he is in. It always annoys the crap out of me that no one has every significantly appreciated the fact that he is the SINGLE STRONGEST ACTOR ON THAT SERIES. I really hope he can get into more and more gratifying work this way.

[lildreamer316]

18. I agree totally..

I just like the lines they give Belzer. Ice is the bomb--I hope he continues to get quality parts.

[kwassa]

44. Ice T is a TERRIBLE actor!

really, really bad, and an embarrassment after the actress he replaced in the first season of this show.

[tinfoil tiaras]

19. oh i know!!

i love them both too! :)

[lildreamer316]

14. dupe

[bullwinkle428]

21. "Homicide" was stronger than any of the L&Os, and really one of the

best (and certainly most underrated) dramas in TV history! Still nice to see one surviving character from Homicide on a current show...

[ikojo]

37. I love Munch....in one episode the man

mentions Noam Chomsky!

[Skittles]

6. I am very disappointed

that's one of the reasons I like L & O so much - it doesn't delve heavily into the home dramas - I think this sh**, besides being extremely unprofessional, puts it in soap opera territory. I'm not impressed with this gal - is she just there why Mariska is on maternity leave?

[REP]

15. Completely Agree!

L&O:SVU is turning too Lifetime Movie of the Week for me - too much about the character's family turmoil (and of course, there's always turmoil with Tatooed Family Man); too many manipulative storylines involving children and now it loks as though they're slapping an unneeded love story onto it. L&O: Special D'Onofrio Unit is my current favorite of the three, and it looks as though they're trying to make his character have a Lifetime story, too. I'm just hoping it turns out to be creepy, not maudlin.

[Skittles]

20. I need to revist that show with the return of my favorite, Chris Noth

it never caught on with me because I did not find main guy's character to be credible - I mean, even the most REMOTE topic he'd be an EXPERT on - spouting all sorts of facts off the top of his head - it sounded ridicuous to me

[ceile]

27. He and Noth trade episodes.

They're never on the same one solving a crime together. Next week will be a Noth episode. L&O:CI is my favorite of the 3 shows.

[Skittles]

35. OMG THANK YOU CEILE !!!

I DID NOT KNOW THAT! I WILL CHECK IT OUT FOR SURE!!! :hi:

[NaturalHigh]

10. You didn't miss much.

They had a quick smooch and then got called away on a case. That's all there was too it. Contrary to the way it looked in the network previews, Olivia didn't see it.

[trof]

22. A friend of my s-i-l's is one of the writers.

We like it and watch it in re-runs almost every night there's not something better on.
At their request, the writer has written several of his college friends names into his scripts.
My s-i-l's name was a character, junior ass't. DA I think. S-i-l said "Make him a real asshole." and he did.
Haven't seen the episode yet.

[soleft]

28. Can you ask your sis's friend who's idea it was to ruin Benson

She used to be the coolest character on TV and now they've turned her St. Oliska.

[trof]

29. Son-in-law, but not familiar with Benson.

[ikojo]

38. Benson is Olivia's last name

She was once a strong confident woman...now it seems she allows herself to get all wrapped up in all the cases. A detective of her caliber might get emotionally involved in a few cases over the life of a career but not every one.

[Parche]

23. law and order SUV

I love that show

The only Law and Order I cant stand is "Criminal Intent"
I cant stand those 2detectives

[BlueStorm]

24. Law and Order SUV?

Is that the show where they investigate and arrest SUVs?

LOL

Blue

[undeterred]

26. AKA Law and Order "Heinous"

When else do you hear the word "heinous"?

[QMPMom]

31. Can't stand D'Onofrio. Love the ones with Chris Noth.

[Parche]

32. criminal intent

Is it Gorn and Ean? or something like that....he is a horrible actor
and she is not much better.


I love Law and Order SUV tho,

Munch and Tutuola rock!!!!

[Rob H.]

36. It's Goran and Eames

Although it'd be fun to see one of the Gorn as a TV detective.


"You have the right to remain s-s-s-s-s-silent!"

(Just messin' with ya. ;) )

[Parche]

39. gorn

I love the Gorn..........."Capt Kirk, I will be merciful!!!" blahdhahhahahalkdjk;lkajlkdj



TOO FUNNY

[Arkana]

42. Goren rocks.

That guy can make you confess to every crime you've ever committed, and a few you haven't.

[undeterred]

34. LOVE D'ONOFRIO

Send Noth back to Sex and the City.

[AlCzervik]

40. i love them both, when Noth came back he wore his old Mike Logan plaid tie.

i'll tell you who i really miss--Lenny.

[Rob H.]

43. Lenny was the best

I don't watch the original Law & Order as much as I used to, and I think his departure is the main reason. None of the other, newer detectives have really done anything for me--I'd rather watch a rerun with Briscoe!

[AlCzervik]

25. I like Law and Order because usually they just stay on plot--

when i watch i don't want to know about their personal lives, i want to see the crime scene, the vic and in the end watch the perp get caught and sent to prison. The extraneous personal lives shit bugs the hell out of me. I've been watching L & O for 17 years, they owe me this much, even on it's spinoffs.
