I'll give the show points for being creative this season, I will admit that, but this episode was a little bit too much. Fake mail-order brides and then killing lifeless bodies? Really? Not only the megalomaniac premise, but the writing itself was a little weak and dull with more emphasis on how the case was handled and how they'd make their bust than actually figuring out who the culprit was.

LOVE OLIVIA!!! MISS STABLER!!! Although Stabler s no longer there... I still LOVE this show! Don't ever leave... EVOLVE!

I grew with Stabler and Benson but, things change. I look forward to the evolution to SVU and to the nay-sayers... Write your own shows before you hate. It is much easier to sit behind the computer. Isn't it? Stabler chose to leave and they can't stop the show becuse of that. They have to move on; just like we do in real life.moreless

- In the bar scene between Captain Cragen and Irene, watch the candle in the glass holder on the table. When the camera is looking at Captain Cragen the candle fills half the glass. From the reverse shot on Irene, the candle is almost completely gone.
