Someone please explain how the title of this episode relates to the story? I knew it was the boyfriend about 5 seconds in. It had Gabby Petito written all over it, down to the perp’s mom trying to help him run. Literally all the writers did was change the names. Lazy. I’m guessing next season will be written by ChatGPT.

Was the federal judge that got killed a judge we knew? I didn’t watch OC between last week and this week. And it seems I’ll have to watch the OC ep that continues after this if I want to see Liv get shot?

I thought the actor who played the son was on svu a very long time ago and had killed/raped a girl as a 12 year old or something? Real sociopath kid because at the end he screamed that he liked doing it. episode was meh. Case was creepy especially as a mom who has raised 4 sons. 😳 I don’t mind Muncy. Churlish grates on me though.

I did not see the twist coming at the end that the wife of the rapist was having an affair with the car salesman that wouldn’t give up his alibi. I am glad that Olivia wasn’t the one who was able to talk down the rapist. I guess I’m in the minority because I kind of like Muncy and don’t really like Velasco. Bruno is growing on me a little. But his “the world is going to hell and all humans suck” is going to get old really fast. In fact, I’m already tired of it because he moaned about it twice in just this episode.

I have 4 boys, all over the age of 17, and I still call them sweetie from time to time. I’m glad they aren’t making Noah an obnoxious sullen teen yet. He’s only 12. Most of the 12 year old boys I know are still very much little kids. And again having raised 4 boys, these two at 12 and 13 seem more realistic than some shows where they have 16 year olds portray tweens.

Mariska’s hair:positive. Kelli’s hair:negative. What on earth is going on with the one side being shaggy longer than the other? oh yeah, there was a plot in there somewhere. If the guy was trading sex for scores and was blackmailing them about it, why did he still go ahead and qualify them resulting in beachgoer’s deaths? It’s like there were three things going on but he really only needed two. Whatever. Mariska is looking pretty. New hire always looks like she’s been crying.

The other incredulous thing about Muncy being colorblind is that usually when a female is colorblind it’s pretty severe because they have to have two genes to be colorblind instead of just one for a guy. Or something like that. It would totally be a Big Deal. But then, Chris Carter made Fox Mulder colorblind and he’s a Special Agent so I guess anything goes. I honestly liked this episode. Good shocking moments, I felt terrible for those women, shocked when the ME revealed the newborn skeleton, maybe even a wee gasp when both women confessed and I realized right away it was the little girl who shot Soren.

I’ll have to see if I can find it and speed watch it.

Wait…what episode did Rollins get shot? I suffered through the season opening two part crossover thing but it didn’t happen there.

Just coming to say I’m glad there are still fans enjoying watching Castle. I’ve been binging during recovery from surgery and falling in love all over again. Even finding my old fan video playlist on YouTube.

Oh my gosh I totally was gearing up for him to be the killer! Suddenly having so much screen time for a side character I thought for sure it would be him.

My biggest takeaway...Peter Hermann is Very Tall. Besides that, I was very interested in Amaro and the tiny dna samples being able to exonerate someone. I listen to some true crime podcasts and there have been some about familial matches through ancestry databases finding long lost criminals. It’s pretty amazing and there is even a Facebook group with dedicated volunteers that comb through those databases to find suspects and eventually solve crimes. So was Burton a predator or just an old fashioned douche but with more charm? And will Olivia now wear the victim badge of honor? 500th episode, no special musical? 😂

What the ever loving freck would an SVU Captain be doing letting her under 10 kid have tik tok on his phone? Or a phone at all?! I swear my ears bleed every time someone swoons the word influencer, follower, and content. And don’t even get me started on everyone doing vertical video. Get off off my lawn! i did think Carisi cooking in Rollins’ kitchen was a cute moment between them. And she still calls him Carisi. Shades of Mulder and Scully with the last name lovers.

I was expecting way better vocals when the actress started her song, didn’t th8nk she was that great of an actress either. Benson and Stabler don’t have chemistry anymore. I thought Rollins was more talking condescending to the Fibbie than flirting with him. Basically telling him what’s a desk guy doing in a vest with a gun, don’t get yourself hurt pretty boy. I haven’t been watching the spin off because Stabler doesn’t interest me much. I’m partly watching SVU to see how well they are handling Mariska’s real life broken ankle.

Finally getting around to watching the new season. I’ve been half interested in the show for a while. Can’t say I’m sad to see Kat leave, never warmed much to her character. Carisi and Rollins I’m still on the fence. She is a lot of a hot mess but they do have a long standing emotional friendship and that’s what good relationships can be born from. The whole powerful, political people being sex offenders and so powerful to cover it up is too close to reality for comfort. It’s not even just close to reality, it IS reality and makes this hard to watch because you’re frustred at the show for not being able to bring offenders to justice but with the added frustration that this is what is happening in real life.

I have a thought. Yes, IVF takes a long time before you can ever implant because of test and hormones and whatnot. So...my guess is that the message she was reading on her phone was the results of her first round of bloodwork to assess her baselines and where her hormone levels were. But surprise! She’s pregnant! Which would mean it was natural and it’s Jack’s. If it wasn’t for that stupid reveal of “I don’t know if you’re the father”. So there goes my theory. I feel like Mel has been in town for maybe 4-5 months? Which should make Charmaine huuuuge by now. She’s a nutcase, by the way. Todd is bad news, and I still hope Jack insists on a paternity test because what if they’re not his kids? Charmaine probably had side boyfriends because she that crazy. Ricky and Lizzie. Grow up and get off this show. Brady, I totally believe is being set up by Mike. And can someone please turn Calvin in? He’s so quintessentially the Big Bad Drug Dealer that gets away with all the conniving things that he’s not even believable as a character anymore. Hope...not sure here. I don’t like her character at all. But I hate to wish her dead just because of that. I have no idea why Doc loves her. Muriel is over the top, can’t decide about her yet One of those ladies does know how to knit, I was watching her technique and it was legit. But the rest? Nope. I’ll admit I did not see it coming with Paige’s friend drugging Preacher. What’s the point? And if Paige has just admitted she pushed her ex down the stairs, things would have come together because it turns out the cops do finally know he’s bad dude. Ugh. Life lesson from everyone’s rotten storylines: communicate and tell the freaking truth. It’s better than trying to dodge trouble by lying. It’s getting ugly and messy and bloated with characters and storylines that all seem to try and be important. I’ll still watch if there is a season 4.

Brie could have easily told Mel that marriage was for 3 months right out of high school. Nothing like letting things fester! gotta admit, totally not missing Hope in person. She was getting annoying. Also, I think this show is sponsored by Apple. Never seen so many people on their dang phones all the time.

Wish they’d keep the young kids out of this. One no cares what a struggle it is for two baby adults to find a place to have secret sex. Can’t we just enjoy a show about mature people? And they’re shoving way too many extra characters in this. Jack has a sister all of a sudden? Don’t care. Charmaine is suddenly level headed and not acting like a teen in live with one of the Backstreet Boys? Yeah right.

3 weeks and he’s that healed? Takes me longer to recover from a hangnail. And Charmaine getting engaged to some random dude in that same time frame? I know it’s fictional tv but this is getting ridiculous. And no way that house would be that engulfed without either of them smelling or hearing anything for so long. Get it together show, I wanna like you.

There is so zero chemistry between the actors for Doc and Hope I’m getting secondhand embarrassment watching their “romantic” scenes.

Late to the party...but can Charmaine just...go away? Can she die in a tragic haircutting incident, or can it please be revealed that her twins aren’t Jack’s? I know Jack is a mess in his own right but dang girl...you’ve got this whole fantasy life with a man who is not in love with you. That said...she has no right to move away and take his children with her. He does have rights, love or no love.

Thank goodness Julie explained her baby’s name because we never would have known it’s HEAVEN SPELLED BACKWARDS!!

Aden is the epitome of Emotional Range Of A Teaspoon. He might be fully employed, but he’s a jerk to Jenna. Jenna’s head is clearly filled with talcum powder, but she has had a point or two about her parents being totally immature during this whole thing. Every once in a while she’ll say something redeeming. Am am I the only one bugged by how much foul language gets thrown between all these teen parents? It’s just so classless and you just don’t talk like that to someone you love.

I’m about to lose my Gen X street cred but I had no idea that was Anthony Michael Hall!! I knew he was familiar but I couldn’t put my finger on it and this was the one time I was too lazy to break out IMDB.

So I will never watch Organized Crime. Can someone tell me what happened after the shooting and the episode ended? I got the impression they wanted us to think Liv or El had been shot.
