Law & Order SVU KILLS OFF Character

OP, you in trouble girl...

Why would they do that? He's a better actor than any of the rest of them. They should have killed off Benson and that annoying kid of hers instead.

I usually don’t watch the new ones, but I happened to have it on.

It was really stupid. This show is way past its expiration date.

If you want to see a show that's chugging along like a wounded animal, watch Criminal Minds. My goodness that show has turned to complete, embarrassing garbage! Paget Brewster cannot carry a show (the poor thing).

But r5 that was never good in the first place.

He and Benson used to be together right?

The episode was a mess. It was about PTSD. It was about rape. It was about brain cancer. It was about Benson’s regret.

So, a typical SVU episode.

Right R5? I watched it the other night and it was fucking awful. I don't care about the newer characters either, so boring.

The last few seasons sort of fell off the “believability” bus. I really enjoyed this show but they go out of their way to incorporate today’s social issues and it doesn’t always pan out. Also, they fleshed out other characters better in the past and had better storylines, the recent shows don’t tie together very well.

Also, more hot actors I’d like to fuck, please.

Criminal Minds has been cancelled. Right now it's about halfway through broadcasting its final season of 10 episodes.

I think they’re setting up Olivia’s son to be gay or transgender

How could anyone be O-leeb-ee-ah's son and not turn out gay?

During the run of HBO's, "Sex and the City", Robert John Burke played one of Miranda's fuck buddies, fully clothed, this man had swagger and fully clothed was as hot as fuck! Shame him and Meloni, with all his glorious swagger, were never partners, that would have been something to see.

He also played a FBI agent on DLs favorite prison show Oz also starring Chris Meloni. R17

There was a lot of cross over of the actors on OZ and Dick Wolf's shows at the time. Wolf and Tom Fontana, creator/producer of Oz, were close friends and frequently "shared" actors.

Other examples, of many: Kathryn Erbe, Eames on Criminal Intent, appeared on OZ. Dean Winters was a detective on the first season of SVU while still appearing on OZ. Meloni was in the same situation. Meloni could handle the double duty but Winters couldn't and left SVU after season one, although he recurred often in some later seasons.

There is a long list of similar examples.

Is this to give Mariska an emotional episode to play in hopes of getting her an Emmy nod? Those days are over, hon.

What a fucking shame!

It’s become a vehicle for the annoying Hargitay.

He played a villainous cop on [italic]Person of Interest[/italic].

I think so too R15. Didn't he want to quit baseball to take ballet lessons? They may not make him gay or transgender but definitely will have him explore his gender identity. Like that annoying kid on The Conners. Hopefully they will pull the plug on SVU before they get into all that.

I stopped watching when Olivia decided she needed a kid in her life.

R19: SVU and Oz were shot in NY so you would see a lot of the same actors on it. Back in the 90s and early 2000s all of Dick Wolf's shows were shot in NY and you would see actors from The Sopranos, The Wire, Broadway actors and NY based soap actors would appear in his shows. It was more interesting than seeing the same old Hollywood actors.

Don't watch the show, but if I knew this hot older guy was in it- I would- or perhaps I will pay attention to reruns!
