I am not claiming one way or another, but Havana syndrome is far from proven. And the physics of any type of 'ray' is problematic. https://www.salon.com/2021/10/21/scientists-are-skeptical-that-havana-syndrome-is-anything-more-than-a-psychogenic-illness/

I was so surprised that Aram and Park's talk about her headaches turned into a plot point later in the show. Never saw that coming. Or that Kaplan standing in the open would be a trap. Wow that is some clever writing.

Not a single plot turn was unpredictable. Except I was sure Baley would be the bomb specialist.

If you missed it, the gun from the evidence room that was from his Dad's shooting is the same gun his Dad showed Stabler how to shoot with, from the home movies. Bell tells wife his new boss is under investigation, and wife shrugs it off. Last time someone shrugged off a warning was the new Governor who got his wife killed.

3 questions. Who set up Stabler? Does this mean the gun in Dad's shooting was a plant? And who asked for a Stabler/Benson crossover?

Mom was Bonnie Sommerville. Was in NYPD Blue, among other shows.

I strongly believe a woman can be a firefighter or an EMT or a soldier or bomb disposal specialist or an astronaut,. Just maybe not the same woman.

I'll give the casting agents a break. They need to find a lot of 6'6" actors. The guy who played Dr. Jay was a little old, but he did it well. I know a lot of this is not strictly true, but boy it's fun.

At least Aram didn’t really give up a billion dollars. I wonder if a code that can break through any cybersecurity would be of use to the FBI?

It makes no sense, but I would welcome Mr. Kaplan back.

Bail is also usually a 10% bond, which means the Coopers should have needed only $30K. I cannot imagine they couldn't get that amount. Also Cooper made a deal to plead guilty. They don't need Lew's testimony and that shouldn't change the plea bargain.

Since all Tech people know each other, ajet gave it to a friend who specializes in converting super 8 film.

I was so happy to see a perp gasping out of air from running away. So tired of seeing every bad guy running like their olympic athletes.

Is the Cabal back? Is there a new Cabal? Have the writers run out of ideas? Did anyone think what was happening to Cooper was because of Red? How inept are the Task Force?

That was...good. A smart, exciting finale with a good set up for next season. Has this show actually redeemed itself?

Let's bring Melanie back just to have her throw a wrench in everything, because she liked how everything was going on the train? Didn't she keep the Wolford lie alive for years? Piss poor writing.

Dennis Leary saves Stabler's life and then he finds out his dad's heroism was a fraud. This is not going to end well.

I thought it was a clever way to resolve the Thorsen storyline. Lots of misdirection, but you know it had to be one of the friends.

Loved the fight on the train.

Complete waste. We're they one episode short? I will be pissed if Melanie isn't alive. The show really suffers without her.

Better than me. As a commercial artist, sign painter and landscape artist for 45+ years, my clothes are mostly a mess. ; But Bailey took it to a whole other level. For the record, I paint in white painter pants. Very messy white painter pants.

If my wife were that badass, I wouldn't see the problem. I hope there is nothing more to Park's husband. We already had the whole husband double agent with Liz and Tom.

Holding the city hostage is one thing, as ridiculous as it was. But there is no way any law enforcement agency would let Wheatley go only because he has granny stashed somewhere.

The last scene was Times Square. Great episode. So many emotional notes with so many characters. And OMG they killed 42.

I didn't mean it is written as satire. It is written in all seriousness, that is why it is even more a farce.
