rockNrollaDIM Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 This is my favorite Law & Order. I could watch it for hours on end.The reason I'm making this thread, though, is because right now I'm watching one of the older episodes and it features some of the worst writing and acting I've ever seen on TV. The episode is "Sugar" from the 2009 season, the twist is that a father admits to a murder his daughter committed but then she ends up killing him right in the police station with a pair of scissors because he decides to turn her in. I've never seen a more cliche plot twist or worse "psycho" acting monologue in my life. Wow! :rofl:Watched this season's premiere a couple nights ago too, and it was ok, but I haven't seen a new episode in a couple seasons so I had no idea who all the new characters were or why Stabler is gone. Also, apparently the Mayhem guy is a lead detective now, but he really needs acting lessons also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Stabler's gone because the studio couldn't negotiate a new contact with his actor.SVU is great because it's so melodramatic and over-the-top. My favorite one is the one where a psychiatrist realizes that the kid with "mental health issues" who "accidentally" killed his son is really a sociopath who will be set free at age 18, so he steals a gun from a court officer and blows the kid away. Then, he's able to put forward his own psych defense of temporary insanity and is found not guilty, and then gloats about it to the detectives and ADA. Classic crazy over-the-top hijinks. It's one from Season 6. Edited September 29, 2012 by 4815162342 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 boring and lame and reptitive show. Only good thing was Christopher Meloni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Was hoping that Stabler would have come back and knocked some heads while the squad was grounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I've started watching this again, and it's still a pretty good show. Well-written, briskly paced and knows exactly where to start and end each scene. Honestly, I don't miss Stabler (never really liked him, anyway), and Benson growing into her new sergeant role is making for a good story arc.
