  1. I call BS. Great actors like Daniel Day Lewis are supposed to delve so deeply into their characters, they have trouble switching back to themselves. Their performances are testimony to their talent and dedication. MH claiming to "cry" etc etc is a load of horse poo. She is not at all believable in her role, she over-emotes and is so fake and phony. And despite the 24 hour days she is portrayed to pull as a dedicated cop, her makeup and hair are NEVER out of place. If she claims this is affecting her SO badly - it's only a sorry attempt to portray herself as a serious actress. Which, if she really was, there would be no need to keep bleating how she can't tell herself and Benson apart. Her acting should be able to do that, not her interviews.
  2. I bet the "best actors" are silently wishing they could also act with a fine actress; not an over dramatic, fake whispering diva with the perpetual "I smell rotting fish" expression.
  3. That just sounds so arrogant. Unbelievable.
  4. Connie Rubaroza - the actress's name is Alana De La Garza, I think. Yes she was very pretty. Who's Erin?
  5. hehe, and Cutter was a cutie too. I liked Annie Parisse - Alex Borgia (?) a lot. she was attractive, but not in a supermodel way like Jamie Ross or Abby, and could also act. I was crushed when they off-ed her, and so brutally at that.
  6. I had a crush on the younger McCoy.
  7. hehehe, i burst out laughing when Serena said that in her last episode on L&O. She was a terrible actress and that line was so out there, just for shock value. What was Arthur Branch gonna do? Say "yes, I am firing you cos I am a raging hom**ophobe and you are gay?" - how stupid was that. Totally unnecessary. She could have just been fired for incompetence, Why should ALL the ADAs look like super models AND also be super brilliant? No reason they could not have portrayed a plain Jane ADA who was super sharp for once in L&O.
  8. I wish she gets demoted and has to report to Fin and he kicks her sorry b**utt to shape. One can dream....
  9. What an absolutely stupid, godawful, unbelievable episode. Felt like a bad cross between a rotten soap and a moronic lifetime movie. How does Benson just "feel" Lourdes is telling the truth? Why is she always the one to get stuck in a hostage situation while her squad is milling around ineffectually on the streets below like hotdog vendors? How many times did Cragen or Van Buren get caught in such dire situations? Did Lourdes take "acting" lessons from MH? Why does MH always have that "I just smelled p@@p" look on her face? Why did this episode (like so many others) have to begin and end with Benson? Was this episode a sign of a romance to come between Benson and Stone? So much more believable if Stone was attracted to Amanda. I wish this Law and Order travesty had never been renewed for another season. It's lost all credibility as a serious crime show and has become a a mockery and an insult to the great original L&O brand. And who writes such drivel that passes for "dialogue" - "I had hope in my eyes", "I wake up shaking and panting", "In the dark , you can lose yourself". Cheesy crap from teenage romance paperbacks. Barf-o-rama. And a bit of DACA/ Illegal/ dreamer buzzwords thrown in for good measure to appease the left leaning viewer base. And...another Hargitay?? Like one is not enough...we need more from this overrated, no-talent gene pool to chew the scenery? Which one was Eddie Hargitay anyway?
  10. Benson squeezed all her over-the-top histrionics into those few mins she had in the Hospital with Tiana. The way she crouched with her face inches from that poor girl's face reminded me of Detective Goren in CI, how he would pull those mind games, hovering over the defendants when he interrogated them. But that came naturally to Vincent D'Onofrio who portrayed the eccentric, highly intelligent, out of the box detective very well. Stone seemed to have taken some acting (?) lessons from MH in his courtroom scene, with the tremulous voice, glistening eyes etc. Sheesh, next these guys will break into an Aria. Long for the understated, realistic and gritty performances by Sam Waterston, Jerry Orbach, Epatha Merkerson, etc.
  11. Have recorded it, not yet watched it, but caught the very end, where Fin skype calls his cute little grandson. How nice to see an episode end with someone other than Benson reading to Noah or baby talking to him pulling one of her super mom phony facial expressions.
  12. Thanks all for the nice welcome! I hope to God she and Stone are not an item. This is getting ridiculous. The L and O original ADAs were stunning - Abby, Jamie Ross, Serena. Connie, but they didn't have every male within spitting distance falling all over them. Which would have been more palatable.
  13. Thanks. In fact I found this message board by googling "Mariska Hargitay over-rated" as I just could not believe how she keeps getting nominated Emmy after Emmy. I also always found SVU very melodramatic compared to the original L&O which just *hinted* at personal issues - Briscoe's drinking problem, Green's gambling addiction, McCoys's serial relationships with his Assts. But never right inside their houses and bedrooms like with Stabler or Benson. And after MH became exec producer, this show has just jumped the shark/ whale/ porpoise and then some.
  14. Sorry to hijack this thread with my very first post here, but I am really glad I found this msg board. I thought I was the only one who found MH's "acting" terrible and over the top, her whispers grating and unrealistic and the soap opera high histrionics, melodramatic drivel beyond bearable. I watched an old L&O episode the other night where Lt. Van Buren comes out of her office to tell her squad she's been diagnosed with cancer - so much dignity, class and stoicism. A true professional. None of the teary, whisper-y, self pitying cloying drama that MH loves to peddle out. I also could not get why and how every handsome young man who passed by Benson wanted to hook up with her. She was attractive in her younger days, not any more. If they flocked to Amanda - it's believable, but not Benson. I read an article a couple of years ago, that MH talked to the writers about a relationship for Benson; so the orders for the never ending parade of admirers must be coming from the Prima Donna herself.
