I'm thinking George and Munch are going to be shot/killed. :(
ReplyDeleteI THOUGHT THE SAME THING. Munch anyway...
ReplyDeleteI doubt they would kill Munch. John Munch is a character that existed BEFORE Law & Order SVU and had made appearances on other shows (like the X-Files) before his role on SVU. If SVU kills off Munch, the backlash from many people would be great.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is it will be George Huang, because BD Wong has already signed on to another series.
John Munch must live! Huang is expendible.
Oh my god! Waiting to find out who dies is absolutely torture and it's only going to get worse as we get closer!!! I so can't wait for this! As mean as this sounds, I hope Liv gets shot, I mean I love her to death but I wanna see El's reaction. It's always nice to see him get a little emotional from time to time.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is expendable? Uh, no. You fail, please try again. Yes, they can get another shrink to replace him, but he would still be missed and the unit would mourn him for a long time.
ReplyDeleteAlex, I never said Huang would not be missed. But your comment validated my point when you said that they can get another shrink to replace him. By definition. that makes him expendable.
ReplyDeleteXfool to me, expendable always meant just that. Can be replaced without being missed at all. Like a toolbox, basically.

ReplyDeleteMy money's on Huang since B.D. Wong is signed on for some pilot on NBC. Although I will be very sad to see him go he is the only one that I am the least bit okay with seeing die. If Liv, El, Munch, Fin or Cragen are among the fallen ones, I don't think I could survive! But The suspense is really getting to me. I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteOh great, another Shattered. None of these last few episodes look too promising.
ReplyDeleteGeorge is my favorite. If he dies I'm going to cry! (and stop watching the show, I only watch for him.)
ReplyDeleteOk, then stop watching the show. if he's the only reason you watch and considering he is hardly ever on anymore, maybe you should spare yourself the heartache of watching him die, and just quit now.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't understand how you watch a show for just a shrink and not for the cases or incredible main characters (which is what is supposed to draw you in)
It's probably going to be Huang. Though Ice T is involved in some sort of reality show with his wife coming up.
ReplyDeleteMaking it Hardwicke would be overkill in the same season after Paxton was murdered.
i hope its not Elliot or Olivea They are my favorite Characters! if one of the is killed in the shooting i will stop watching the show my bet is on Huang! If they kill on of the main characters then their ratings and viewers will drop dramatically!
ReplyDeleteThey are not killing Elliot, Olivia, or Fin. An editor on twitter confirmed that neither Liv or El will die, though for some reason I have a feeling Olivia will end up getting shot. :( And as for Ice-T, he also confirmed on twitter that he will not be leaving SVU to do his new reality series. He said he's going to do two shows at once. I think Haung's going to be the fatality.
ReplyDeleteI think that Huang will die...and it's possible fin might be the one to die too. My prediction is Olivia will get shot but not die because for one things, she's like never been shot..and it'll show E/O because Stabler will probably run to her rescue.
ReplyDeleteI think someone will die. However, I don't think it will be a member of the main cast. It'll probably be someone who is introduced into the episode and dies in it. Though, I do have my money on Olivia getting shot. She needs to join the 'Got-Shot' club with Munch, Fin, and Elliot, who is like, the club president.
ReplyDeleteI read that Olivia will be taking a promotion next season, so my thinking is that it will be Cragen, and Olivia will become captan
ReplyDeleteUnless Olivia is one of the ones who ends up getting shot; doesn't want to be in SVU or on the street anymore as a result, and ends up taking a desk job promotion as a result. It's just a thought...
ReplyDeleteI'm done watching SVU. The only reason I have left to turn to its channel and time slot is to see who is advertising on the show so that I can avoid them.
ReplyDeleteThe SVU writers, directors, producers, and network have repeatedly been anti-gun over the years, but the season finale's blatant misrepresentations went overboard.
I'm NOT saying that gun laws are unnecessary, but SVU being used as a "soap box" to push an agenda is just insulting to the intelligence of their audience.
I'm now boycotting every advertiser that buys time on any SVU episode.
"Ok, then stop watching the show. if he's the only reason you watch and considering he is hardly ever on anymore, maybe you should spare yourself the heartache of watching him die, and just quit now."
ReplyDeleteSo if I watched for only Olivia, it would be okay, but if I watch for George, it isn't? And I don't watch episodes he doesn't appear in anyway, so him hardly being there doesn't matter. And again, "saving myself the heartache" is total BS. If I was one of the rabid Olivia fans threatening to leave the show once JLH takes over, you wouldn't be telling me to stop already and save myself the heartache. I stop watching IF George leaves the show; I'm not going to stop watching BEFORE then. So just quit whining that I love George and HATE Elliot and Olivia. Get over it, I can watch the show how I like.
"Although I don't understand how you watch a show for just a shrink and not for the cases or incredible main characters (which is what is supposed to draw you in)"
Well, that's exactly it. The main characters are SUPPOSED to be amazing and draw you in, but they aren't. They're all arrogant, incompetent assholes. Olivia and Elliot would be lucky not to be in JAIL by now, let alone with their jobs and pensions. They don't draw me in; if anything, they almost drive me OUT. The only main character who IS incredible and succeeds in drawing me in is George. (And please, don't give me that "George isn't a main character" crap. If he was a minor character, he wouldn't get main character billing at the start of the show. Plain and simple.)
I love George. I love BD Wong. I hate Elliot and Olivia. I watch for George, NOT the Blunder Twins stalking rape victims and suspects, showing their incompetence at every turn, assaulting men who are innocent in the eyes of the law, treating everyone they see as a hindrance like shit, and so on and so forth. I DON'T watch to hear that guns are too easy to acquire, the government experiments on inner city black kids, and soda is the root of all evil. I watch to see George Huang profiling suspects and treating them. And before you ask why I don't just watch Criminal Minds instead; I do. I watch it faithfully. And then I watch George, who I like as a character even more than anyone on Criminal Minds, on SVU.
Seriously, it shouldn't matter to you that I watch for George instead of for Elliot or Olivia. The show may INTEND for it to be Elliot and Olivia that draws the fans in, but they have completely failed at making them even remotely lovable characters, and ultimately it was George that drew me in. Waaah. Get over it.
This will be how they get Christopher Meloni off the show. You watch! They're going to kill off Stabler. It will give MH some great scenes as well.
