  1. How is it that NYC is experiencing a massive shortage of police officers, yet they're able to canvas every shelter and apartment building and bar in the City? Why did they need to canvas construction sites along the subway? Couldn't they just ask him where he went for the job? "My cousin and I are like brothers but I'm not sure where he lives or works or what his phone number is." I love how every cop in a foot chase knows exactly where the suspect will run and can head him off. Olivia standing in front of Ann's wall like an angel. Just... No. She's agoraphobic and she's going to just buzz them in? No way. St Olivia cures agoraphobia simply by lighting a few candles in the squad room. Ugh. Was it just me or did they not show the men holding up numbers in the first two line ups, only in the third? "Oh you're playing bad cop?" "He's not playing." Hee! I can't believe we finally got a good Fin line.
  2. Jet's eye makeup should likely have its own guest star credits. WAY over the top. How the hell do they get away with just setting up a satellite office in Elliott's apartment? Does their acting captain not wonder where her detectives are or what cases they're working on? I loved Elliot not remembering AI guy's first name. Speaking of him, I understand we all need to accept some artistic license but the scene where they're looking for the church and Elliot suggested searching on "churches with choir practices" was ridiculous. Where is Bell's kid? He's just Chuck Cunningham'ed right out of there. Why did Bell have to secretly meet with Cragen? He's retired. They don't need to meet in secret, he can just call or visit her. It looked like unnecessary dramatic effect. When did you last see chloroform? It's like 1970's crime drama redux. Lastly, how did Eric carry a passed out Stabler into a church and bind him up?
  3. I understood it as feeling sorry for her because she was molested. Throughout the series (as pointed out above) there have been numerous victims turned criminals. The one that stands out to me is the kid who was molested by the piano teacher who himself became a rapist. I think in working with victims, Liv has developed almost a sense of survivor's guilt. She sees so many people with terrible upbringings and life circumstances who wind up going down negative paths. She seems to want to grasp why she became a cop rather than a criminal; she tries to help, not ruin.
  4. I didn't think she'd be the killer but I didn't understand Liv's burning questions. Did she think Maria would not remember her, or that she wouldn't have positive memory of being saved from being raped and buried alive? I don't understand why not have Liv reflect on victims. It's always been an underlying theme that Liv was the child of rape and had an alcoholic mother. She didn't turn out like Simon or become a criminal, she became a Saint. Both Tori and Maria were victims, yet one became a cop and the other a murderer.
  5. Who else thought Maria was going to answer the door and say, "Oleeeeeevia?" I get suspension of disbelief but it doesn't take 10 minutes to get a no knock warrant, and given how woke the SVU crowd is, I'm surprised by featuring it. Who else thought Liv was going to adopt the younger kid? Liv diving under the car and shooting around under there was practically satire. Maybe the mechanic is (or looks) young but FFS what's up with Liv derisively telling him he looks too young to drive and just being like "you can't possibly know how to do your job." When they found the second victim, was the tracker just laying there on a table? How was it used? Do we really need Curry baking things every week? Doughnut. Coffee Cake. I'm surprised the promo doesn't show her in the break room with Fin saying, "lemon bars?"
  6. DAE wonder why he thought he'd die jumping into the river from a ledge which was around two feet from the water? Maybe if he couldn't swim but that's not a suicide leap. There's no way that a trained LEO is just going to let a suicidal man walk away. He was intending to kill himself but as long as he says he's fine, Jalen just shrugs and lets him go? The kid's mom, aunt's sister, and suspect's wife died yesterday and they're not planning a funeral or grieving or even not going to school? They make her death sound like an inconvenience.
  7. The last two episodes they were arguing over him even having closet space. She made that big show of telling him he could keep clothes there. She definitely wasn't pregnant and the relationship couldn't have been going on that long if she only recently even told Alec about it.
  8. The Universe has never cared much for jurisdiction or geography. The OG 27 investigated homicides everywhere in the City. SVU and Major Case both get cases that would never be assigned to those squads. Organized Crime is already an NYPD Department, it was Rey Curtis's previous squad. The "Task Force" as a unit makes little sense.
  9. When this ridiculous story began I literally called it that Liv would have to be the one to find her and hug her while whispering, "Maddie". The other cops get to the farmhouse but instead of running in and getting her they just wait for Liv. Liv and Maddie nodding at each other at the press conference was painful cringe. If nothing else she's been kidnapped for a month, doped up on fentanyl and sold to a pervert. Is she really up for a press conference?
  10. NGL. I was hoping Fin somehow headed him off and clotheslined him.
  11. It's a parole hearing which is presumably in a prison. No way could he just walk in unnoticed. Additionally, they'd have visitor logs which Marissa would have reviewed.
  12. The other part I just realized is when they go to the parole hearing, the bomber is apparently scared into tanking his case and immediately says he'll do it again. If the FBI agent was "Mathias" wouldn't that mean he was there and wouldn't Marissa have seen him?
  13. So they hid a dead body for two days and managed to get it to the church while nobody notices she's missing? She'd also organized the meeting at the church so her absence seems like it would be obvious. Rather than people thinking she was there, it makes more sense that they'd notice she was gone.
  14. Rose knowing literally everyone in the intelligence world is almost like the tech gurus on police procedurals who can hack into every computer system within three seconds. "Oh this guy who nobody has spoken to in twenty years... Found him!" Did anyone else catch that Alec plans to go to the Senator's fundraiser and he says "I just need a tuxedo" but then he's not wearing one? Kylie ostensibly hates cops and even hesitates to date one but she's interviewing with the FBI? What did they do with Natalie's body? Two highly trained military men couldn't come up with anything beyond a church bombing happening two days later and they inexplicably rely on nobody saying she wasn't there? I can understand there being all sorts of scientific concepts behind faulty memory but that makes zero sense. Marissa's house was a crime scene but it's entirely undisturbed. No political opposition researchers or reporters found the mistress but the assistants do and she willingly talks to them despite having been paid off. The final scene, Rose sees the ankle holster on the man's leg, but ankle holsters are typically worn inside the leg for an easier draw.
  15. I want to know how he tried to hang himself off a closet rod that's only around five feet off the ground. Or why Liv couldn't just untie the belt rather than cut it. Her being with Maddie's mom gave me vibes of that insipid scene where she read "Goodnight Moon" to the dementia addled professor. How did he get the phone number of the guys who drugged him and ran up his credit card? If you drugged someone and stole his money, why leave your contact information? DAE think his nurse/assistant arranged the assault because she got him the invitation to the club?
  16. How much suspension of disbelief is needed here? Why is Carisi here? How is he assigned these high level cases so quickly? He's prosecuted Sir Toby and Steve Getz and now a drug cartel large enough for federal witness protection? The security detail for a family testifying against a drug cartel isn't comprised of federal agents or US Marshals, but rather Organized Crime + two random officers? Nobody wears a bulletproof vest or has a backup magazine? Jet doesn't search the hired killers for any guns but just leaves the pistol for the son to grab. The writing for Jet is awful. She doesn't need to offer her first name when introduced as "Detective" and shouldn't sneer "joy" when told she's guarding the kids. She's guarding federal witnesses, not being told she has to babysit her kid sister instead of going to the mall. Everyone in the L&O universe has a swanky apartment far beyond pay grade. I'm also annoyed that Eliot lives in an apparent ground flood unit with no security when he's worked on so many dangerous cases.
  17. McGrath being on "modified" duty after pulling his weapon is bullshit. I'm a civilian and I'd lose my carry permit if I did that. It was ridiculous when Liv got in front of him when the correct protocol would be to stand next to him and push his arm down. At some point is it not racist to suggest that minority women are interchangeable? Churlish just Chuck Cunningham'ed out. Gonzalez disappeared after one day. Now IAB Chief?
  18. Terrific point. It's typical of the wokesters to miss such an obvious plot idea. They literally make a rape victim hesitant to testify against her attacker because he's black, but it never occurred to them to have made Maddie black.
  19. You're left handed but you shoot with your right hand?
  20. Whoever thought SVU would have a scene where the victim's wife was up all night crying about structural racism and not her wife getting raped. Agreed on the liner, it magically had DNA but not the victim or anywhere else in the room? Smaller plot holes, but during a smash and grab it made no sense to stop and commit a rape. In the time it would take the store could be locked down. Additionally, why remove his mask? Why show the victim your face? The cops mention that the leader who took the video had a juvenile record. Wouldn't that have been sealed since he was an adult? It seems a bit of overkill that a kid spent the night in juvenile hall for stealing a pack of gum. NY has enough crime that they're not imprisoning a kid for one pack of gum. This is overthinking it but if she and the foster kid were arrested together, the police would know he was part of a white family and treated him accordingly. Lastly, WTF was up with Liv running to her office after the attack on the precinct to check on her photo of Maddie. Was that really the primary worry?
  21. The show is definitely "Law & Order: Olivia Benson"
  22. Maddie is a white girl. The point of M&A is finding victims that nobody misses. Although Zeke would have had traffic camera footage of the abduction. It's nonsensical how on OG literally every square foot of the city is on camera to the point where they have a detective whose sole purpose is seemingly pulling up video of the crime. With SVU this never happens.
  23. That's a total trope. McCoy deciding to charge some big corporation or other powerful entity with "depraved indifference".
  24. Tanya gets overdosed with fentanyl, stuffed into a plastic bag and dropped underwater. Luckily she was found by Saint Oliska so all of that had no affect on her. Flashback to Maria from "911". I thought Tanya might cough and look up adoringly and say, "Oleeeeeevia?"
  25. The logistics make zero sense. Gabi is in Metro DC. Why was Sir in Rockville MD and then traveling back to DC to leave the picture for Laci?
