Ice t tweeted a pic of a puddle of blood so someone is getting shot or stabbed or has a really bad nose bleed . 😉 rumor has it it's amaro
ReplyDeletePictures of Amaro on a gurney were on twitter and he had no shirt on and he had a bullet wound below his abs on the left side of his body.
ReplyDeleteIt appears that those photos should never have been leaked on social media.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't mean the outcome is known though.
Could I suggest Chris that any comments that "give the game away" be removed?

ReplyDeleteCath, why exactly should Chris remove those comments? Maybe the photos of Amaro being shot should not have been posted, but they have been. The cat is out of the bag- or, as is a popular saying in this franchise, "you can't un-ring a bell"- and most of the fans who frequent social media know, to the point that many have forgotten it's even a spoiler. Censoring to avoid spoilers on an information site is a bit absurd. At MOST, a spoiler warning should be added for the comments, but even that is far beyond what has ever been done before and should be expected on such a site.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't care one way or the other.
ReplyDeleteYou're right it's out there now but some people might not be aware.
As I said it was just a suggestion.
We don't know for certain it's a shooting either. That's an assumption.
In the episode "Poisoned Motive", Rollins got shot. NBC officially released many photos from this before the episode aired. They WANTED fans to know about the shooting to get them to tune in. What I'm saying is that many times, the promo people leak this stuff out on purpose to get fans riled up and to tune in. It's too late to add a spoiler warning to the comments because people tend to read from the top of the comments down and I can't insert one before it. And if I insert something in the body of the post, then people will go looking for the information.
ReplyDeleteWe don't really know what happens to Amaro. I recall the episode "Shadow" with a large shooting scene where Benson and a few others are ambushed and shot and appeared dead. People went nuts when I posted it, but it all turned out to be an elaborate sting and no one was hurt.
I thought about the fact they may have been deliberately leaked perhaps to continue the speculation about whether Amaro would be staying.
ReplyDeleteIt seems though a guest actor took the photos on set and posted them to his Facebook and Instagram pages.
From what I can tell he's removed them.
I'm usually quite cynical about these things but this does seem to have been something that shouldn't have happened.
I should have known the finale would be all about that damn baby. Everything will be happy and exciting, and it will be falsely intense, because the episode will end with Olivia becoming a mommy officially. Aww, how sweet (barf). And why? Because SVU is officially a soap opera.
ReplyDeleteLeaking those pictures was a good thing, this fan would've probably not even tuned in had they not. I'm with Roselynn - Benoah has officially moved in to barf-worthy as it's been over-used & to devote the season finale to it is just a joke.
ReplyDeleteSo the shooting is what will make me tune in. They better not kill Nick! Warren said, re the crossover, that he didn't like killing off characters so I'll hold him to it. And I will keep hoping Nick takes a bullet for Amanda and not Liv (yeah I know delusional but whatever)
I third Roselynn. When Neal Baer was the showrunner, the PR guys at SVU/NBC had a habit of manipulating viewers into believing that X character's life was in real trouble when nothing could be further from the truth.
ReplyDeleteThis practice continues under Leight's stewardship and I'm wondering how many seasons it will take before fans realise the show has completely lost its credibility?
I am more upset over what "might" happen to Nick than I am about anything that "might" happen to Noah. Nick is a main character, though at this point I think Noah has been in as many episodes as Amaro and Fin. We all know that regardless of whatever "surrending Noah" means that Liv will get him back. This is it. This is Liv finally becoming a mom. I mean come on, they aren't going to deprive her of it again. If they do, the whole story line has just reached a new level of ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteAs a personal opinion, I don't think I will watch if Nick does end up leaving. I can't adjust to the rotating cast. There is no way I can adjust to a new detective (the second in just as many years) especially since I am so attached to the character of Amaro. I'm hoping Nick's story line is the cliffhanger and that he will be back. WL said they were tying up some threads, let's hope that's a good thing, but we fans know better....
Apparently the actress portraying Noah's nanny is back next season so I think we can safely assume there's no real threat to Liv officially adopting Noah. I didn't believe there was anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'll be tuning in to watch what happens to Nick and how that pans out.
I doubt he's being killed off.
Whether he's staying though is another question.
This is what happens when you let a fan girl write a once excellent show. I don't know who is worse, between Warren and Julie. But when you have to promote a baby more than a plot..and have no grasp on reality, it's time to retire.
ReplyDeleteHello, my name is Olivia, and I only have this baby because I went to his hearings. I know I was rejected for adoption before, but I have more responsibility at work now, so I am definitely more fit. And if anyone can find any more one night stands to be my husband, I'd appreciate it.
Really, Warren?
I hope they get rid of Amaro, one way or another.
ReplyDeleteAs long as Barba is back for next season, I'm fine.
ReplyDeletei just ant to know what exactly Noah's father says to them that may jeopardize and change everything in the squads lives. Also if you don't like the show stop commenting and watching the show.
ReplyDeleteAyanna,
ReplyDeleteYou can dislike what happens to a show but still like the show. Some of us just expect more. ;);););)
It's not Amaro, unless he stopped to change his suit jacket in the middle of the situation. He's wearing a black jacket when he shouts "He's got a gun" and the guy on the floor is wearing a grey jacket.
