Ooh, this sounds good! I saw some photos of Danny Pino on location, sitting in a car, looking really rough (http://bit.ly/15oc0gu - the Danny Pino Online site). I don't know if they were from this episode or not.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought the photos might be something to do with his wife, but now I wonder if he gets suspended or something for his run-in with Cassidy. Can't wait to see what happens!
I'm really looking forward to this episode. Pretty sure we will find out that Olivia & Brian are together.I was hoping that's who it was, I really didn't want it to be Elliott or Barba. I hope they haven't teased us all this time, finally show us who it is and then end it. I think all fans just want to see Olivia happy, she deserves it. However the way some of the writing has been going this season I'm a little worried what they are going to do. Hope they make this one worth the wait they've been teasing with for months.
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to this episode, Cassidy has always been my favorite. At first I was hoping this episode would confirm Cassidy and Olivia are together then I got to thinking, there are eight episodes left in the season and I highly doubt the writers will end such a lucrative story line until the very last episode. This whole who is the hand question has fans talking and that's what the writers want, fans talking so they watch which equals ratings. I do believe we will get closer to the answer of who the hand is with this episode and I think some fans, including me, will be disappointed when its not Cassidy. Sorry to say but I think the "hand" is going to be Barba. There has been a lot of Olivia and Barba one on one as of late which is leading me to believe it's going to be Barba. That and Olivia's reaction from "presumed guilty" with Barba skiing in Ghasthad (um I think its spelled that way) which also make me think its him. Whether you love or hate Barba there is no denying that Hargitay and Esparza have real chemistry on screen and I believe the writers will capitalize on that. Besides I have to agree with allthingslawandorder that Esparza is a great actor and he and his character have brought a real spark to the show that has been missing for a while. And he has the strong, take no prisoners kind of attitude that works so well with Olivia. I think this episode will drive fans nuts and only take Cassidy out of the running as the hand and leave a crumb behind as to who the hand is. I guess we will have to wait and see.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see I'm not the only one wishing it to be Cassidy. You make a really good point about having episodes left before the end of the season, I never considered it that way. After I read that I thought they'll probably (if its Cassidy) have them break up and then they have the rest of the season to find her someone else. I'm only going on some of the pics that have been online of Mariska & Dean filming, the way they were standing and had their hands on each other it made me think they were together. Barba is ok but I don't like him with Olivia, for me they just don't seem like they would be good together. I'm still holding out hope that its Cassidy, but as long as Olivia is happy (and its not Elliot) that's all that matters. Poor girl deserves to finally be happy.
DeleteThe Hand The hand...I feel sorry for Warren The hand revealed will unleash and new round of WE HATE WARREN BECAUSE THE HAND ISNT(fill in the blank)
ReplyDeleteYou're right Warren has been getting way to much flack by fans. It has to be the hardest job in the world to produce a show. I think it is virtually impossible to please all the fans equally. In the end all I care about is whom ever the hand is they make Olivia happy, and I hope most fans would agree with that.
ReplyDeleteCriminal Intent has always been my favourite, and I still miss it. I love what Warren did with CI, and I think he's doing a great job with SVU, which I enjoy more with Elliot gone, and the Nick and Amanda making everything fresh.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm hoping it's Olivia with Cassidy.
Leigh, I agree that Nick makes SVU fresh, but I don't like Amanda. As I've complained before, she's dull, not dynamic at all.
ReplyDeleteYour pics tell it all! I was sure she was dating Barba, but Cassudy totally makes sense. They had chemistry in the very first season of SVU. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think making it Cassidy, works for this show better on a lot of levels. You can just give us this relationship in small doses with Dean Winters showing up occasionally, and have hints to how she and him are doing. This way, we don't get TOO MUCH of it, that it would ware out it's welcome.
ReplyDeleteWho has written/singing the song in real life? I can't find it..
