At least SVU was involved organically, by Benson witnessing Carisi as a hostage. The actress really sold the horror of her rape without us seeing the deed and without Benson whispering to her. Carisi even managed not to be saved by Benson.

Wow a great episode. Great acting and surprising twists and we avoided the usual Benson dynamics.

As seasoned as they are, it pissed me off that when they started feeling the hallucinations coming on, they kept trudging on, instead of addressing the issue pronto. This season was full of cheap scripting like this.

What a hot mess. The Laurent is a savior storyline was quicksand. Assuming the kid would not be attacked by walkers, which never had a follow up confirmation, his specialness does not transfer to anyone else. Making zombies of pregnant women in order to create more special children is not feasible. So the whole plot point was a waste. Was Ash in the disco for two weeks, so he didn't work on the plane? The gunfight and the plane slow takeoff was an embarrassment. When the plane finally departed it really hit that Daryl and Carol were left behind, so what were they going to do? Then Carol said they should have made it to Commonwealth by now. How is that remotely possible? That's a bigger plot handwave than Rick escaping from under the RV in a swarm of walkers.

All Benson did was introduce herself, and the jumper immediately took a knee. The trained team skedaddled out there like they had a hot date.

When the guy picking up the ransom was not the who they thought, I would have thought they would trail him. Let him lead you to the next contact. In my mind, I would have expected a higher up to be watching the retrieval. Of course they nab the guy and Benson mentions the 48 hour deadline, but the interception of the ransom seemed to be a non issue. The writers need to stop making the victims a member of the team who receive up to the minute updates from Benson. It only emphasizes how unprofessional Benson is.

And per the previews, Apollo has some more appearances.

What was that thing Wendy was doing with her son, enumerating the prices of the items he was wearing? She is so shallow.

I'm going along for the ride, but I missed how purposely creating super walkers is an asset. They weren't obedient to Genet and her regime hasn't demonstrated anything new methods of killing these super walkers. Even if Larent is special, how does that benefit anyone else? Zombify birthing women and then have childless cat ladies take care of the offspring? Push a few of said offspring off a cliff to see if they don't come back? This doesn't cure anyone living and I don't imagine many women would sign up for this one and done assignment.

That black number looks like a Studio 54 dress.

Was nothing made of the rape kit and semen samples?

The first episode had some annoyances. Carol got the Lori treatment crashing her car on a near empty road for no reason. The French kid mimicking the "Jessica get out of the water" videos, put him on my death wish list.

Just like with the Rick & Michonne series, after the premiere, an episode called the Return plays. In it the main characters of the new series reminisce about the Walking Dead series. It's really great getting the actors insights. I asked if any saw Rick & Michonne's episode and I don't recall that anyone replied. Did anyone catch the Carol and Daryl episode? My Tivo automatically recorded the episodes.

Ohh, he's starting to move on from the Leave it to Beaver styling.

Probably old McCall patterns from back in the day.
