Law & Order SVU “Penetration” Episode Information

NBC has released information for a new episode of Law & Order SVU, titled “Penetration.” Here are the details:

Law & Order SVU “Penetration” Air Date November 10, 2010 (9PM ET/8C Wednesday NBC)

BENSON (MARISKA HARGITAY) AND STABLER (CHRISTOPHER MELONI) TRY TO HELP FBI AGENT DANA LEWIS (GUEST STAR MARCIA GAY HARDEN) WHEN AN UNDERCOVER ASSIGNMENT TURNS INTO A RAPE CASE.


FBI Agent Dana Lewis (guest star Marcia Gay Harden) is assaulted by a stranger and asks Detective Benson (Hargitay) to have her rape kit tested. Before the cops can really help her, Lewis goes back undercover and refuses to talk about the assignment or the rape, for fear that she will be exposed and pulled off the case. She reluctantly allows Benson and Stabler to get involved in what looks like a protest against the construction of a mosque at Ground Zero, but they find themselves scrambling to put the pieces together of a much larger puzzle than they had anticipated. Also starring: Richard Belzer, Ice-T, Dann Florek, BD Wong, Tamara Tunie and Melissa Sagemiller.

My recap and review of Law & Order SVU "Penetration" can be found at this link.

One thing SVU botched -- dont think anyone would notice this, though -- was in the last episode (or maybe the one before), Stabler referenced Eliot Spitzer basically getting away with prostitution.

The problem is, Spitzer -- at least in his role as Governor -- didn't exist in the Law & Order Universe. While previous governors did -- Pataki was referenced several times in the past -- people need to remember the several episode sequence on the mothership between 2008 and 2009 when GOVERNOR DAVID SHALVOY was a main guest character, occupying the same time in office as Spitzer.

Call me crazy, but this is one of the little things that irks me when writers screw it up. When you have a franchise like Law & Order, it is important to remember what has happened in previous story lines so you don't cause confusion.

Is this a big deal? No. But, it was sloppy, in my view.
