By not giving this unstable person the least benefit of a doubt, Stabler contributed to Donovan's overreaction, nearly got himself killed, and ruined this guy's life along the way.

It's good that she's stirring it up, but I've hated her attitude and her need to blame everyone else so far. In this episode, I liked that you can see the cracks and it humanizes her - it gives motive to her commanding ways: she needs control. I found myself really enjoying her. It was great that she had her issues when Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12384087873397690817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412211079606886638.post-887853227952998062009-10-09T11:50:35.122-04:002009-10-09T11:50:35.122-04:00I thought the whole Stabler-in-the-cell scene was ...I thought the whole Stabler-in-the-cell scene was ludicrous. It went on and on, and in the first place came out of nowhere dramatically. All the scenes of conflict between him and Paxton so far have felt forced. Her attitude is that everything goes wrong because someone else screwed up; why is Benson taking that lying down? It makes Olivia seem weak, not to mention the rest of SVU. That said, I Joe S.

It was really subtle (his almost Stuckey-like over-enthusiasm, the way that camera would ominously zoom in on him when the other characters were speaking to something else) and I admit I thought that SVU was going to go the cliched route and have him set up the neighbor as the fall guy to cover up for his own crime.

It's odd that Stabler can be such a pushy SOB but when a woman pushes back, everybody gets all rattled about it. Stabler needs to be put in his place and so do some of the others in SVU. They have acted all along that they are perfect, but it's clear that with so many convictions Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412211079606886638.post-54049770706471327702009-10-08T08:54:31.314-04:002009-10-08T08:54:31.314-04:00Thanks for the recap/review.
