Dude, I love Law & Order, but who watches it for skillfull acting? It's like appreciating coloring books for the expressive artwork.

Also: dude.

Elisabeth Rohm is much better now than she originally was; I suspect that she has overthrown her programming and manifested self will.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 16:55 (nineteen years ago) link

she has improved since she was on Angel

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do fear who her replacement will be.

That would be cool. The robot could extract quick confessions from the baddies by grabbing them with his pincers.

― Joe (Joe), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't get why everybody hates her.

The completely flat voice and blank expression (yes, moreso than Hennessy, Harmon, or Lowell). Maybe she's gotten better over the years, I don't really watch the regular series that much in general any more, but when it comes on I still can't watch her without cringing before too long...

― Joe (Joe), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:23 (nineteen years ago) link

You know who I hate? The (assistant?) D.A. on L&O:SVU. Her who always fucks everything up in court so that the cops have to go back out and find more evidence. Her only purpose is to mess things up and whine about lack of evidence. GRRRR. Ice-T should beat her up like he did that kiddie-slave trader in last night's rerun.

white girls be havin' flat voices

Kincaid would never have solve the crime by saying "But Jack! She obviously was killed the night before because she was carrying an evening purse!"

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:32 (nineteen years ago) link

I did not like the assistant DA of SVU until I visited the set of L&O: SVU and she said "hi" to me when she walked past me and also winked!!! and I was like "oh swoon somebody who's on Law & Order just said 'hi' to me" and from that day to this I have been a great booster of SVU despite its general awfulness

Every time I see an SVU promo, I fondle my sweaters.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Speaking of sweaters, the revelation of the Assistant DA during the opening credits is a Mister Rogers moment for me -- if it's Jill Hennessy, I'm filled with warmth and happiness; if it's Rohm, I become despondent. (But still watch, sheeplike, the episode in its entirety.)

― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:41 (nineteen years ago) link

This SVU hate has to stop!

― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe they'll replace Rohm with Vincent D'Onofrio? Cop and Asst. DA by day, poet and musician by night...

― Joe (Joe), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

My prediction for Rohm's replacement: another blandly pretty, mildly talented young actress.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:37 (nineteen years ago) link

see, i think novak's relative crapness as a lawyer is a) a good idea, and b) something i'm betting the producers wanted to try out for a long time.

Doesn't anyone in this bitch watch The Wire? :(

― Ade (Adrian Langston), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:48 (nineteen years ago) link

this is the best news i've had in weeks.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't watch Law & Order, but when Rohm was on Angel she really had to rank among the worst actresses in the world. A plank of wood could out act her, and she sucked the life out of every scene she was in. She could have improved since then, though.

― Leon Czolgosz (Nicole), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:56 (nineteen years ago) link

she hasn't.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 22:00 (nineteen years ago) link

She may have improved but she still is pretty bad.

oh, x-post

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 22:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, Nick, come off all that Stepford Wives "they're all the same because they're pretty" wank! If you really think that, I hope you only get to see Rohm episodes from now on!...

― Clarke B. (Clarke B.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 22:45 (nineteen years ago) link

one month passes...

What do you people see in this show?

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I am very, very underwhelmed so far. But I am watching it from the VERY beginning. Should I hold on?

Meanwhile, Homicide is excellent. Thanks to everyone on ILX who recommended.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:49 (nineteen years ago) link

The only great episodes of Law and Order are the Homicide crossovers.

Law and Order is surely the disposable, lightweight little cousin of all American cop dramas post 1990. You have to enjoy it on the level of "I want to watch TV. What's on? Oh Law and Order is on. I'll watch that while I dust the tables."

Last night's SVU episode with the murderous blondies and Anthony Soprano Jr. was pretty good though.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:52 (nineteen years ago) link

I originally rented the one with Vincent D'Onofrio by accident, and stopped because I thought that wasn't the good one, but actaully it was great!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:53 (nineteen years ago) link

I love his partner's knack for only ever opening her mouth to state the complete fucking obvious. Meanwhile, he's off doing his renaissance man bit and drawing all these incredible conclusions.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I still have only seen one episode of CI.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 21:57 (nineteen years ago) link

I realized last night that Sam Waterson's facial expressions are in no way connected to the mood he is trying to convey. It's like he's a robot set on random. It's really weird.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Thursday, 5 August 2004 15:49 (nineteen years ago) link

It's not random, Nick. The next thing you'll realize is that his facial expressions are predictable based on the character's mood & situation. It's just that they aren't logical.

I blame the eyebrows.

Still McCoy is the man, mang.

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 5 August 2004 16:06 (nineteen years ago) link

guess what - new version of Law and Order set for early 2005 - "Law and Order - Trial by Jury."
huh?

― stolenbus (stolenbus), Thursday, 5 August 2004 21:59 (nineteen years ago) link

It'll be one of those 'from the eyes of the jury' shows - but Fox already beat them to it.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:01 (nineteen years ago) link

every tenth post on this thread should just be: DUHN! DUHN!

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:02 (nineteen years ago) link

or at least that's how every revive should start.

Yep. That's where Briscoe is gonna end up. On that show.

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I know you will all say that The Shield has dulled my sense for the subtleties to be found in finer things, but along with Oz, this is another show that leaves me totally cold, frustrated, often bored. I started with the first season DVD. Does it suddenly get better or is that it?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

season one of law & order sucks ASS. go directly to Orbach. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:15 (nineteen years ago) link

and the ONLY excuse for taking Orbach off the show would be if he was getting a Briscoe, P.I. series where people repeatedly yell "BRISCOE!"

Okay, this is maybe what i needed to hear. I also got the Vincent D'Onofrio one by mistake, but I quite liked it in a something-to-watch-while-you're-eating-a-super-burrito kind of a way.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah first season has George Dzundza, who has yet to redeem his existence in my book and WAY too much David Caruso-style cliched dick-swagger.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:34 (nineteen years ago) link

in fact, if I HAD to watch any episode again (I've just seen too many over the years) it would be one that had Moriarity, Orbach, Noth and S. Epatha Merkenson. Though I kind of enjoy Benjamin Bratt a lot. He had a distinct, absurd, flavor.

― CeCe Peniston (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:39 (nineteen years ago) link

This thread has thus far completely ignored how good Diane Wiest was. What a shame.

Briscoe P.I.

With Munch as his sidekick, this would be the greatest TV show of the 21st century!

― carson dial (carson dial), Thursday, 5 August 2004 22:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Best show ever:

Detectives Briscoe, Munch and Sipowicz.
CO Kragin.
ADAs Stone and McCoy.
DA Schiff.

In every episode, Briscoe makes a smartassed comment at the beginning, Schiff makes a crotchety smartassed comment near the middle, and we get to see Sipowicz's naked ass near the end.

I even rather like Ice T on SVU - he overdoes the "you don' understand, I'm from tha hood!" thing way too much, but he's cool.

I adore D'Onofrio, but I have to admit apart from drooling at the screen whenever he's on, I find that slightly insane head-tilty thing a bit... weird.

― Chreiysy (trayce), Thursday, 5 August 2004 23:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, you mean Ice T overdoes the Ice T thing? Par for the course, I think.

I adore D'Onofrio, but I have to admit apart from drooling at the screen whenever he's on, I find that slightly insane head-tilty thing a bit... weird.

After one episode, it's a bit weird. After five, it's a bit genius. After 20, it's more than a bit repetitive.
