This time she survived. As the case unfolds, Benson finds herself getting emotionally invested in the survivor until she is forced to make a decision that she isn't ready to face.

Law & Order SVU “P.C.” Air Date 3/03/2010 (9 PM ET/ 8C Wednesday NBC)WHEN A WOMAN FROM A GROWING LESBIAN COMMUNITY IS FOUND DEAD, DETECTIVES BENSON (MARISKA HARGITAY) AND STABLER (CHRIS MELONI) MUST WORK WITH A LOCAL ACTIVIST (GUEST STAR KATHY GRIFFIN) TO UNCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND THE WOMAN'S DEATH.
Detectives Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Eliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) find a woman bleeding from the neck and nearly dead. The woman dies before they reach the hospital, and soon the investigation leads them to the frontman of the death metal band Vampyre Sacrifyce. He bites girls, steals blood from the local blood bank and sings about violence to women all in the name of his strange, vampiric lifestyle. The singer claims he was nowhere near the scene of the crime, and soon a lesbian rights group led by Babs Duffy (guest star Kathy Griffin) gets involved, claiming the victim's death was a result of police neglect. However, when more women from Babs's group are attacked, it becomes clear that the victim's case wasn't an isolated incident and that someone out there has a larger plan to bring the group down. Also starring: Ice-T (Detective Odafin Tutuola), Richard Belzer (Detective John Munch), Dann Florek (Capt. Donald Cragen), Tamara Tunie (Dr. Melinda Warner), and B.D. Wong (Dr. George Huang).

Okay when are the detectives not invested in the case? What makes this case more troubling than the others to Benson and what decision is not ready to face? Does she have a secret? I don't trust NBC promos or info on future episodes because they tell you a little something and you're mind goes crazy on what you think will happen or what is so juicy that episode and then its something else. No they will not drive me crazy this time.Yeah thats a lie they will.
ReplyDeleteOMG I cannot wait for both episodes I heard that two people will have a lesbian kiss.I won't name any names*cough Benson cough Duffy cough* Did you guess or will you have to see the episode to see if its true?
ReplyDeleteI just got a tweet by TweetDeck of Twitter who said quote: "@joanfox L&O: TBJ IS renewed, but NBC P. Jeff Zucker is holding off on press release."
ReplyDeleteSo that's why a TBJ rumor came out.
Joanelle, I can't find a twitter user with that ID that tweeted that information. Right now I think this whole TBJ stuff is speculation, and I would not believe it until I saw it posted from a reputable source.
ReplyDeleteI know that NBC is pretty desperate for new dramas to fill up their 10 p.m. hour, but reviving TBJ? I doubt it. The show only lasted one season its first time around, and while I thought it was ok, it certainly didn't grab me like the Mothership, SVU and CI do.
ReplyDeleteWhile those of us who enjoy the current L&O shows might be pleased to see a new version (the rumored LA show, for example), I think people who aren't big fans would look at a revival of TBJ, roll their eyes and say, "really?" Heck, I'm a fan and I'd do that LOL.
But ya know, given that most of the execs at NBC seem to have taken their daily stupid pills the last couple of years, I guess this could happen... sigh...
Do you know of any news on Law & Order UK? I'm really hoping that they will film more episodes.
ReplyDeleteLast I heard, L&O UK had been renewed for another season. In the UK, they showed the first season (13 eps) in two parts - the first 7 eps were shown last winter/spring, and the remaining 6 are airing now, I believe. I'm not sure when the second season (or "third series" there) will be shown.
ReplyDeleteI looked around online and found this:

I LOVED TBJ...that would be a great idea to bring it back, IMO.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it looks like SVU is skipping (at least for now) the episode where McCoy has an appearance...is it showing later?
SVU exec producer Neal Baer indicated that "Confidential" - the episode with Sam - had been scheduled to run on March 10. I haven't seen the official listinbg from NBC as yet, though.
ReplyDeleteIn the "Savior," episode, who is the girl, that plays the 1st victim? The one in the opening scene. I cant find her name anywhere!
