My favorite episode from any series is when Kyle MacLachlan kills a kid in a courthouse and still gets off because the kid was evil and Kyle had a mental break
Lawyer here. That episode was fairly realistic given that it's quite common for fully grown adults to get away with murdering children so as long as their clearly evil. It's called the Omen Defense.
Isn't that the one where the evil kid killed Kyle Maclaclan's son by having him eat rocks, and then he put on an act of just being a dumb kid to make him have sympathy for him?
My SNL version of this show is: Law & Order... Wacky Bullshit Unit. Some fiend is murdering the homeless and burying them face down in Central Park with just their butt cheeks above ground...a bicycle is parked in their ass crack. NYPD has emails and text messages from the killer but it takes them 14 years to track the monster to his lair.
Anybody else A.) Stopped watching SVU after Munch retired and B.) Always preferred Munch and Fin because Benson and Stabler are completely insufferable?
More after Season 7 where the production didn't want to pay the same salary to the to Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim as the same as the white characters, and Kono was one of the best characters in the show.
What is it about Criminal Minds that makes it more approachable than this show? Every woman I’ve dated has loved that show I’m reaching the point where I know episodes word for word. Is it literally just everyone being hotter? Like I’d let Prentiss and Morgan turn me into Swiss cheese and all that but the show is pretty much on par with SVU on the cringe scale, especially everything post Reid in Mexico.
Felix referring to his ex-girlfriend as "romantic partner" is the most Felix goddamn thing ever. He's a gay man that just happens to be attracted to women
@@condor237 had that experience with Virgil, but I was actually relieved at how normal Felix looked. I was expecting a total goblin for some reason, with a beetle brow and other caveman features. But he’s just a guy
A lot of this is why the OG Law and Order is my second favorite crime show after Columbo. SVU and everything after it have this conception of the law where you just have to get to the bottom of things and as the story unwinds you'll end up working your way up from arresting the step dad to the owner of the pedophile factory. In the OG L&O the law and legal world are more or less inscrutable. Almost like Greek mysticism. There's no real rhyme or reason as to why Jack wins or loses cases. Like, Jack goes to the muses(the DA) to see if he can use a video of the perpetrator committing the crime while showing his drivers license and birth certificate as evidence and the DA's just like "The winding strings of fate say NO." so now Jack's office has to go out and find new evidence at the last minute.
Disappointed they didn't talk about my favorite episode of SVU: The one where Stabler goes undercover in an animal smuggling ring, nearly ruining his marriage to catch a guy who's smuggling monkeys in to the states in basketballs
@@condor237 Forgot about that part, but yes. The Smuggler's henchman, who it later turns out was part of another department's undercover op on this monkey basketball smuggling ring shoots him and leaves him on the street to die after they figure out he's a cop
Anyone else remember the episode where the final twist ends up being that a brother and sister are actually twin brothers, but one of them had their dick chopped off in an automatic circumciser accident as a baby so they raised him as a her, and had a therapist who was making them have sex together or something like that? By far the most fucked up episode I remember.
The craziest thing about that is this actually happened in the '60s. Look up David Reimer, it's really sad what happened to him, he ended up taking his own life.
I have seen the last episodes of Law and Order, and was so boring, now Benson is a Lt. in One Police Plaza (that still didn't mention where is anymore, maybe because is in the middle between the financial district and Two Towers), and now the only that keep it afloat is the new Stabler show, that try very hard to sanitise him, but SVU should have been cancelled long time ago, hell, in retrospective, even Cragen seemed to be a better portrayed chief of detectives than Benson, because he was sitting his desk and most of the time never get personally invested in the crimes.
Amber did her last episode a few months ago. She left to do something related to her activism work with unions out in Portland(?) Idk exactly what it was but she decided to officially leave Chapo entirely
Your only comments on this channel ever are apologia for someone who never even bothered to clarify whether this support was necessary. As far as I know, he has never denied it despite many opportunities to do so. So you don’t even know if he wants people going around saying he didnt do it. Maybe you’re sympathetic to the crime itself and not just the perp
Pedophiles do consider themselves just like ethical non-monogamy. It's a depressing thing about humanity I guess, that nobody wants to consider themselves evil, no matter their actions
they mentioned the actor Julian Sands being in an episode playing a sex predator - Sands is currently missing after going hiking in the Californian mountains. He's been missing for about 2 weeks now so it doesn't look good
I'm just grateful that art least a handful of intelligent people, as opposed to me, watch this shit too and find some rationalisation for why it's not a pathetic waste of our time 🤣 i still use the quote from Benson when she makes Captain (or whatever) and someone complains about her rules being, unexpectedly, too strict : "sooner or later you play all the parts!", She says, in a very meta-way 🤣
Munch was used a lot more in the early seasons, Remorse in S1, Manhunt in S2, etc etc. He’s also pretty important in the Marlee Matlin episodes. But he does get his own episode in Season 8 when Dani Beck was replacing Benson, about his uncle played by Jerry Lewis.
In Mariska’s defense- 1) her mom was Jane effin’ Mansfield, and 2) she only agreed to do the SVU pilot after she was rejected for a role in a Power Rangers movie lol
Yeah, now Benson is a Lieutenant of the SVU and Amaro is gone, replaced by a blonde male detective, and the changed of Assistant District Attorney, but it seems off, because Benson is way to personally invested in the cased for someone of her rank, she should be behind a desk like Cragen coordinating the other detectives, because that is her job, they even destroyed one of the fan favorites detectives couples of Law and Order, Eames and Goren, now for some reason Eames is working with the "Anti-Terrorist" Unit, even that most of the terrorism that happen in the U. S. is domestic.
Interesting how Chapo talks about Pedos a lot and still has never addressed Virgil, who is I'm sure is going to have an SVU character based on him one day
It's not like anyone was involved in his bullshit beyond him. They did what they had to do and cut ties, and for Chapo it ends at that. It's like if you had a piece of shit family member, are you automatically obligated to apologize for them?
its nice of them to do an episode where they highlight that just because you hangout with them a lot doesn't make you funny or quick witted enough to be a comedian.
