Guns in the precinct

8.0

By tishabyte, Apr 23, 2013

How she got the gun in the building is beyond me. She got off a lot of shots before she got told to put the gun down which is unrealistic even for a tv show. Was a decent episode and I saw it as a rerun so didn't even realize it was Stabler's last episode.

A key witness to a rape case is shot, and killed. The detectives suspect the rapist. But they soon uncover something greater than that.

This episode had me on my toes from the start. Only I wonder why Sister Peg had to die. Only yesterday did I begin to notice what a great character she was, showing up on a lot of episodes, helping the detectives here and now, just to see her get killed by a crazed girl? Here is what I do not understand: How does a emotional girl bypass the metal detectors and the needed pat downs? Do the detectives not have those kind of things? I mean it is supposed to be a police place, right? Anyways, besides that confusion, the episode was actually really great.moreless

She got off 21 shots with a handgun INSIDE of a police station before being taken down?!

5.5

By BlaqChaos, Jan 01, 2012

Ignoring the fact that she was able to enter the police station armed, and had a gun with at least 21 bullets inside; in a room full of cops she was able to get off 21 shots before being taken down.

sooo... that's the last episode with chris meloni?

5.5

By fasttalker1234, Dec 13, 2011

kind of confused because apparently he's leaving the show... so that's how were going to last see him or one of the last ways?

and how do you end a finale like that? i honestly was expecting a very different type of finale- every other finale goes out with a bang and this one did not, i wouldn't have known it was the finale if I didn't just look it up five minutes ago. that was really odd and diferent than usual. very sad to hear that chris meloni is leaving and i think so is mariska hargitay at some point. Honestly, cancel the show now, then. it's not worth the watch at all if it's not themmoreless

Considering how bad season 12 was, Smoked places in the top half pretty much by default.

7.0

By TheBlueRipper, Dec 13, 2011

This is the first SVU I can recall in a long time (probably since Shattered) that actually had a little bit of suspense and excitement to it. The writers absolutely butchered the legal portions, and as usual Benson and Stabler don't have a clue what they're doing, but I'm sort of willing to look the other way since this episode somehow found a way to keep me willingly involved and watching, and that's an accomplishment compared to the rest of this dreadful season. We did get robbed in the end though, by having a character that hasn't appeared since like 2007 randomly recycled and killed off (yeah, I know there never should have been a gun in the squadroom to begin with, but it seems to happen multiple times a year on SVU, and I barely even notice it anymore).

Good riddance Neal Baer. I'm confident Warren Leight can get SVU back on track, and hopefully the current writers are either fired or made to stop smoking crack while writing for the show.moreless
