SVU day 1 of filming, OG is also probably starting today

And I realized for the first time Claire went into Jack’s existing office.

For some reason, I always thought Jack was moving into Ben’s office.

Also noticed Jack mentioned Ben.

(Second Opinion)

Caught Alexandra Borgia aka stripper Jasmine Blake on season 12 ep 22 before Annie joined as ADA in season 15.

Just re-watched this episode on Sundance TV and my gosh, is it a doozy. Between the judge's incomprehensible decision making and Lennie's daughter, I was sobbing by the end. Lauren Ambrose's acting is superb though.

Sorry, Malcolm MacDowell. You're a great actor. But this episode needs a flow chart to understand the whos, whats, and whys.

And Jonas Slaughter was a vile, evil man.

The franchise sure loved some names more than others, didn't it?

Watching seasons 26 & 27 of SVU I'm starting to feel that it's back on the way up - Benson's team is shaping up nicely and the cases are interesting and well written. L&O, on the other hand, is a car crash. Boring cases, hardly any detectjve work, they seem to want to turn Brady into Benson by having her too involved in the cases (why is she handling all the interrogations?), and every case aeems to have some personal connection to the DA team. Yawn.

And all of this was given sharp focus in the crossover episode in S27 of SVU. Showing Price next to Carisi in court highlights just how poorly written Price's character is in comparison. And the whole episode just dropped to the level of L&O rather than rising to the level of SVU

Curious if this will be written into the next season, or if it will be completely ignored like what was done with Mariska’s pregnancy back in Season 8 of SVU

Congrats to her!

This is more for SVU fans, but I figured I'd post it here, too. The Practice follows a small group of criminal defense and civil litigation lawyers who are seen as dirty and low-brow because of their tactics. If y'all want zealous defenses, this is the show for you.

Aside from them being opposite the prosecution, the biggest difference between the shows is that this is a straight drama, not a procedural. This makes for a lot more friction and way more volatile trials.

I don't want to get into a whole rant. I think I'll just say that you really never know when a verdict will go one way or another.

• I should've originally said that the show has its own channel on Roku, as well. On mine, it's a few channels above or below Law and Order. I forget which.

No hot tub Harry, his IAGO!, and his awful family.

And no Alex on the stand in front of Bobby...

A nice balance between her and Jack, but I can’t shake the idea that she would have gone full-on MAGA lol

I think McCoy is the more popular character of the series, so do you think there will ever be a series focusing on his early years?

I remember seeing a post in passing on here about how when people are being interviewed on the show they rarely stop what they are doing. I can’t help but notice it now! And a lot of time they’re also like “oh I’m so sorry but I’ve got to get to Spanish class!” Or “I’m late for tennis game”. I feel like if I were being questioned by the police regarding a homicide I would just miss Spanish class.

Classic “love the show, but… “ issue here.

The flagship really struggles when connected at all to hip hop music.

Sure, Jack is old and crinkles his nose. Lennie or Fontana says something snarky. That’s fine.

Still, there should’ve been someone in the writers’ room born after 1960 to make their killer rappers seem somewhat real.

Juliana (who played Kate Silva on SVU season 26) posted this on her Instagram story, sending Odelya well wishes regarding her pregnancy🥹
