Favorite Carisi moment of the episode was him walking up to Olivia and Dodds after the prison break, saying only "Lieutenant, are you alright?" Yeah, screw you, Dodds!

It's probably fitting given how important Charlie's work was, but if I were his child or wife, I'd feel a bit annoyed that his funeral service was apparently the perfect time to announce ACN staffing changes.
Man, I felt bad for Sloan. She clearly was really struggling with the idea that her actions contributed to Charlie's death and everyone just kept joking that she'd killed him :/
And we were definitely given the impression in the first season (maybe even the pilot?) that Charlie had known Mac when she and Will first dated.

I really like the attention that SVU (and Mariska Hargitay IRL) insists on bringing to untested rape kits. I can't imagine how the thousands of rape survivors feel knowing that very little has been done to find their assailant.
I forget how much I miss Fin until he features prominently in an episode.
Add me to the list of people who didn't understand why the foster worker was so convinced that Olivia was a poor parent. "She claimed to have not been able to call me back immediately!" Christ, lady, she's a Sergeant in a major city, it's not like she just can't be arsed picking up her phone because she's getting blizted on Franzia by the pool.

When Jax finally interacted with - or really, acknowledged in any way - the baby, I like to imagine Thomas's thought process was like "eh? Who's this doofus?"
I thought Abel getting the ring meant that, between his age and the law-abiding life he would now have, eventually he would come to remember it just as a family keepsake from his father. Whereas getting the SAMCRO ring would have signified this life-destroying clusterfuck of a club being dragged into his future. Then again, Sutter does like his themes of history repeating and repeating our family's mistakes so it probably was about Abel following in Jax's footsteps.
I think this show has ruined montages for me forever.

I'd be more likely to accept "how dare you breach our trust and privacy?!" outrage from someone who hasn't used his influence and platform to yell at old girlfriends for a decade.

In an episode full of Hallie and Jim's terrible pairing (how has it taken you this long to break up?), I found Sloan saying "I'm sorry, bubba" to Don really cute.

After liking the previous two episodes, I was disappointed by this one. But I did enjoy seeing Toofer again!
Good Lord, Hallie. You can do better than Jim's arrogant, self-righteous ass. I didn't mind that scene when, for once, Jim was accurately being portrayed as an insensitive tool and Hallie was handling it calmly and maturely. Then of course it devolved into Sorkin's 90s stand-up material of the "crazy women say they don't want to talk! But then they won't let you go to sleep until you talk!" variety.

Anybody remember the episode the where this guy had his wife get pregnant by other men so they could have as many kids as possible, then when she got too old, he used a turkey baster on his daughter ? The episode begins with the daughter attempting suicide in a subway I think.
That might be Resilience in Season 4, which I remember because Titus Welliver is the father.
ETA: I think this episode features the thread title!

I think the husband was also a guest star on The Good Wife --- someone on death row perhaps. That's where I know him from because I haven't seen his other shows.
IMDB listing:

I loved that episode! He was only onscreen for like ten minutes but he was so brilliant and heart-breaking in it.

I love Unser taking the "why should I help you/you burn me on this and we are done!" highroad from his caravan that currently resides on Teller property, ten yards from their clubhouse. Yeah, because you've done a bang-up job of distancing yourself from the club so far.
Juice is so sad at this point. He's like a puppy that got clipped by a car and just isn't right anymore. Theo Rossi has been really impressive this season.
I would have enjoyed it if the episode ended with a very Arrested Development-y "and that's why you always listen when people say your mother is a violent lunatic." Whether you liked her or not, I think Tara deserves one hell of an I TOLD YOU SO at this point.

Re: SOA Afterword....
Sutter revealed that Jax stayed up in Abel's room all night.
Charlie said Jax spent the time reflecting on events leading to him avenging Tara's murder.
Notably the Intel from Gemma that set things in motion.
Beginning to believe it was possible, then going into denial mode by sunrise.
But, still planning to investigate.
Thank you so much!

Can someone that saw the aftershow tell us what Charlie said about this?
This would be great. Maybe in the Media thread, if necessary? I can't find any way to watch the Aftershow outside of America.

I think my favourite part of this episode was the tiny note of hysteria creeping into Amy's "it's a HARANGUING!"

I was amazed that Gemma managed an entire conversation with someone named Sayyid and wasn't racist once. I genuinely braced myself for it when he was introduced.
The Jax/Abel scene annoyed me until the very end. Tara was Abel's mother. It's been, how long, at most two months since she she died and he is clearly not coping. Probably a bit too soon for the "the loss of your mother has been devastating, love. But on the bright side, we've got a back-up!" talk.

Gemma fighting with Althea was also profoundly stupid. I did, however, enjoy Nero watching the antics through the office window. Best pantomimed "WTF are you doing?" I've seen in a long time.
My favourite part of this season has been Nero soundlessly freaking out behind that glass. I could watch Jimmy Smits practically semaphore "are you kidding with this shit?" all day.

I remember a Susan Jane Gilman article years ago, making fun of powerful and intelligent female characters who make terrible, unrealistic romantic choices "because gosh, he's cute!" Like an FBI agent falling in love with a bank robber because gosh, he's cute. That is all I could think about during the stupidly-written Chibs/Sheriff scene. Come on, lady. You presumably had to work hard and demonstrate intelligence to get to your position, and now you're having sex with an outlaw biker (while another outlaw biker watches) in a desperate attempt for him to prove that he likes you? Jesus wept. Chibs is admittedly a fox but there are limits.

Can somebody explain to me how Twisty the Horrifying Terror Clown can wander openly down a street swarming with kids and parents in broad daylight during a curfew because of a serial killer and not be seen or smelled by anybody but one twelve year old girl??? Not to mention the whole Michael Myers teleportation thing.
To me, that's the most unsettling part of this storyline. No-one notices this physically imposing, blood-splattered figure? No-one does a double take at his whole...scalp situation? People aren't on the lookout for creepy strangers after the brutal murders? I don't understand this town at all.

S17.E14: Nationwide Manhunt (1)
in Law & Order: SVU
I thought the team didn't want Rollins around Yates because he'd successfully played her/gotten in her head during the previous case? I could be wrong, I might be misremembering that episode.
