"Superb"

I really loved this episode! I think Kathy Griffin did a great job making us all hate Babs a little bit. I think the whole 'is Olivia gay thing was a little bit ... for the fans? I don't know, wasn't a fan of that part.

This episode I didn't really pay attention to the actual crime, and it's a little hard to remember what actually happened, because I was so distracted by Babs and Olivia and oh yeah, my FAVOURITE line of the entire series.

"He has the hot's for you, you know,"
"Excuse me?" "Stabler!"
"...no... that's uh, never going to happen,"

All in all, I really really enjoyed this episode, there was humour (Chris's big ass,) and it was well acted, and although the actual crime/detective part wasn't in focus, I thought it was a refreshing jump back into SVU after the unbelievably long break.moreless

I am all for Law and Order: SVU bringing in big name guest stars. I know some people do not like it, but this is not stuntcasting like How I Met Your Mother does, these big names actually bring something to the table. That being said, anything involving Kathy Griffin is just.. yuck.

But thankfully the good storyline here was able to cover her presence and make this episode not just worth watching, but highly enjoyable. It was refreshing to see a homosexual-driven plot that did not feature a plethora of BD Wong scenes (please fire him Dick Wolf!).

And I'd love the inside joke about a Benson/Stabler romance with Olivia saying, "It'll never happen." This show doesn't need that garbage to reel viewers in, it just needs entertaining television.moreless

Some of the worst acting and stereotyping I've ever seen.

"Abysmal"

By jkatj, Oct 01, 2011 Report Abuse

I don't even know where to begin. Even if you try to ignore the grossly offensive stereotyping and just let the story happen, the acting is so horrendous in this episode that you can't believe any of the characters. Plus you're stuck trying to adjust from one scene to the next where one is ridiculously melodramatic and the next comedic. You're getting battered from all sides: bad characters, bad story, bad acting, bad directing, bad bad bad. The only thing that kept me from giving this episode the lowest rating possible was watching Mariska Hargitay toy with the bad guy at the end like a psychopathic cat torturing a mouse.moreless

"Abysmal"

By McCutcheon_fan, Oct 01, 2011 Report Abuse

As a gay female, I found this episode to be horribly offensive. It's a horrible portrayal of gay women (sure, a few are like the character Kathy Griffin played) and the stereotypes involved are just disgusting. This episode made me laugh out loud at the behaviour of a certain gay character quite a few times - read: Kathy Griffin's character hitting on the officers and the a.d.a.. For me, this episode was just absurd. Maybe you can call me over-sensitive, but for sure, I was deeply offended, and it definitely wasn't because a supposedly gay woman fell for a man.moreless

"Perfect"

By firespot, May 24, 2011 Report Abuse

P.C. Although the strange name, actually has a really good story to it. It stars our main cast as they try to solve a bunch of rape murders, all of the victims are lesbian women. While investigating, Kathy Griffin comes into the police station playing Babs, a quirky, Puahy and funny lesbian. Babs is a LBGTQA supporter, (as she says, it stands for Lesbian/Bisexual/Gay/Transgender/Questionable Association.). She is fighting for all the members of LBGTQA for equal rights and this recent flood of lesbian murders has got her chain in a not, she won't sit and do nothing. She immedietly tries to help Elliot and Olivia.

In my opinion, this episode rocked! It has become my most favorite episode ever! I love Kathy Griffin and she shined through out the episode! It was an epic win!
I also really like how it had to do with the LBGTQ Community, it may help some people stop being homophobic.moreless
