TV: L&O SVU
Feb. 10th, 2013 12:05 amMan, lotta heavy hitters in the 02/06 episode, Monster's Legacy.
I like that they just let Amaro blatantly express his appreciation for how good Olivia looked when she approached the original crime scene. Much more realistic than just one cop ignoring another cop who usually doesn't wear dresses, and does usually somewhat downplay her femininity at work. Are they intentionally being vague about who "he" is? We saw a hand in the episode where she was on a plane heading for vacation, then just the reference to "he" in this episode.
I adore Andre Braugher whenever he guests on SVU, and this was no exception. I think there might've been enough to the stories to warrant a second hour, what with the way the case kept spreading out in different directions, but L&O generally avoids two-parters, near as I can remember. It does tend to make some big, meaty cases seem too easily resolved, in my opinion. In this case, the wrap-up was a bit of a disappointment, because there are going to be waves of repercussions, no doubt about it. But I guess that's not really what SVU is about.
I see some of young Olivia in Rollins - the inability to quite control the expressions on her face when she's confronted with information and stories that arouse her disgust and anger on behalf of victims, the perseverance to keep making and tracking down connections. That character's not always used to her full potential, but they did a decent job of it in this episode.
