Wednesday 9:00 PM on NBCIn Season
It got a bit drawn out in the middle but overall not a bad episode. Didn't know which way it was going to go, the way this show is suppose to be.
Is anybody else developing 'KEN' fatigue? Seriously, how much trouble can Finn's kid get into and not wind up arrested and/or tried for conspiracy/harboring fugitives/etc.? I know, I know. "SVU" takes a lot of liberties and flights of fancy with reality (starting that any normal human being working for this department would have been fired and/or quit from all the stress dealing with sex crimes causes on a normal person) but Finn's kid just keeps getting into such ridiculous amounts of trouble it's distracting. Other than the 'Ken' factor it was a decent episode. Why weren't we shown the baby the doctor had with her young patient though? We heard a baby crying when Stabler and Finn busted into the doctor's place but never saw him/her. It's as if the episode had been written/shot already and then they decided to add the baby angle in post-production (which isn't hard to do). It was OK but these past few weeks haven't been "SVU's" best and brightest. When's Sharon Stone going to show up? I want at least a promo to keep me amused.
BTW, I actually saw when they were filming this episode in the NYC sidewalks of 110th St. and Central Park. My commute-to-workbus passes in front of the building used during the scene when Finn and Munch go to the building that's visible from the webcam in the apartment building. It was 7:25AM last January when they were shooting this scene (didn't see Ice-T but I saw Belzer sitting on a chair getting make-up on) and me and most of the bus passengers didn't even bother looking (I did a couple of glances because... shoot, it's "SVU"). If you live and/or work in NYC running into "Law & Order" crews (for all three shows) is as normal as getting stuck in traffic or having a bad day at work: unusual but frequent everyday things one runs into at the Big Apple.
Was anyone else kind of irritated that the signature SVU twist was just what was in the previews? I love SVU but if the best stuff you can come up for a trailer is your big twist, it probably isn't that great of an episode.
