I am liking this season way more than I expected. Yes, it can be a bit like CI at times (Rene Balcer is writing this season, and he ran the first five years of CI), but for the first time possibly this decade, I find all six leads really good and complementary to each other.

Jeremy Sisto and the new additions on the DA side are excellent. I was convinced the show had just about run its course (I had only been watching SVU for the last two seasons, really). But now it's good tv again!

God the crossexaminations are the worst they've ever been. Not only no actual courtroom craft - just arguing & speechifyin', no fillip, no nothin'. Don't get me wrong, I'd still watch even if everybody just grunted unintelligibly, I'm set in my ways, but the whole 2nd half last night was garbage except for Waterston.

there oughta just be a bottle of Hennessy in the ADA's chair, every week
damn no-respect casting agents
i remember back in the old old days when the innovation was how dry and legalistic the show actually was -- anti-pretty mason but still hella exciting! now it's very perry mason; this is the second episode of the new season that's involved the DA getting and on-the-stand breakdown out of a witness.
xp no doubt! "alana de la garza" is her name, if you can believe it. odd that they found someone who looks so much like annie parisse.

I love how they used to do that, though! Dry and legalistic and then suddenly some bit of personal life peeks in for a second. Best one = wasn't there some offhand suggestion that McCoy was always getting on his ADAs? Which doubles as a handy excuse for why they all look like that.

In the beginning, he is also a notorious womanizer, having had sexual relationships with four of his female assistants.[1] However, this has often blown up in his face: one such assistant, Diana Hawthorne, is found to have suppressed evidence so they could win a case (L&O: "Trophy"); another, Claire Kincaid, is killed in a car accident (L&O: "Aftershock"). Defense attorneys have used this against him (L&O: "Missing"). In 2007, the Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" segment humorously described the relationship of Jack McCoy with whoever is the current A.D.A. as "teaching cynicism to a supermodel." Since Kincaid's death, McCoy has kept his relationships with assistants professional, although he nurtures friendships with all of them.

'nurture' is a pretty gross word imo

when did he ever get with Claire? Claire had a relationship with one of the judges that she clerked for before she became an ADA but I don't think she hooked up with McCoy
― J0hn D., Thursday, 14 February 2008 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link
wow I'm past help huh
Haha not at all, I totally remember that one. She then resigned in the course of proving that he had harassed Jane Kazmarek's children after a failed affair

"Claire had a relationship with one of the judges that she clerked for before she became an ADA but I don't think she hooked up with McCoy"
There are a few references to her sleeping with Jack, one of which came in the episode about one of Jack's previous assistants, Diana Hawthorne, with whom he was also sleeping. I thought that Claire was the last one he slept with, what with Jamie being too smart and sensible (plus being totally out-of-his-league gorgeous) and Angie Harmon (I forget her character's name at the moment) abstaining for the same reasons :). I may be wrong--it's hard to remember all 8243 episodes.
I also agree with whoever upthread said that he loved getting just the smallest offhand nugget about their personal lives. That was always so exciting when it happened!

I'm kind of addicted to this show now all of a sudden (especially CI w/ Goren & Eeams, and the original with Jesse Martin and S Epetha...).Is there anywhere I can watch it online?
― The Brainwasher, Thursday, 20 March 2008 20:16 (sixteen years ago) link
I dunno about online, but TNT shows about 10 L&O episodes a day, and USA Network does the same with L&O-CI. I can't remember who shows all the L&O-SVU reruns...maybe Bravo or A&E? SVU's still my favorite.
