I’m STILL watching this episode and it’s Alex’s last ep. It’s probably not going to end well but can I just say:

1. It’s the old hands that know how to write the SVU characters right. And Dawn DeNoon is an old hand.
2. Olivia, honey, the blue top has to go. But the black vest, the attitude and general bad-assery? Humminahumminahumminawooowoo!
3. Alex Cabot arguing jurispridence is so hot. I say again: Alex Cabot arguing jurisprudence is so. hot.
4. The guest stars are, so far, pretty creepy… in the good way.
5. Elliot is being unstabler again.. oi. This is where I stop liking the episode.

Now I’m finished with the ep. Wokay. There are exceptions to exceptions so stay close and you won’t get lost…

This would’ve been a decent episode if it had not been Alex’s last one. *Unless*  they’re leaving the opening to keep Alex next season and somehow just not involve an ADA in the finale. … That’s utter cockshit but I’ll go with it if only to keep my sanity.

I swear to god… they’ve got to stop with the twists and turns. Stay the course, writers! Stay the course! Here we have Dawn DeNoon writing lines that are so Stabler-ish and Benson-ish and Cabot-ish… it was almost like the old times! Except for the treat-you-viewers-like-morons moments. Sigh. This is why SVU can never be The X-Files. Lowest common denominator fail.

On the brighter side, I really did like the guest star judge. His voice is so… nice. And don’t tell me Cabot doesn’t put the moves on judges. I knew Judge Ridenour always had a soft spot for her. I’m also pretty sure she has Judge Seligman in her pocket.

In conclusion, I’d rewatch this the same way I rewatch “Lead”… with very little brain activity.

EDIT: Forgot to mention- the last 3 minutes? UTTER BOLLOCKS! Cry me a fucking river alright. Could’ve totally spent that time on Alex. But no.
