Feedback on SVU opening episode.....

So 140 character on twitter to express how this opening episode of SVU season 15, haven seen it for the 3rd time and with help from feedback on Allthingslawandorder (thx you again for this, really helps me)...... well let's just say for starters, to use the word Mariska said on the Katie show.....: "Holy shiatty".....

Let's start with the obvious first..... if the Emmy statue for best leading actress 2014 doesn't have Mariska's name on it, I'd like to hear the reason for it.... because let's be frankly or like both Warren and Mariska have said in interviews, Mariska as "Benson" is really put out of characther's role from now on and is now on the other side of the world as a victim. Yes she has been before, but this is (as far as I can tell) is where Benson actually react to the pent up anger/fear/giving in and that is the most/biggest changes of the character of Benson. And this is a entirely different road to be on and I can't help but admire and look forward to how it is handled as, as much as "SVU" is fictional, it still has a voice for a lot of the victims out there.  Plus how will the squad take this changes of Benson, as we will sure learn they feel quilt in one way or another.

There was a scene in episode 2 which really pulled the chains.... When Benson tells Cragen in front of the team, if he couldn't trust her, she was done. That just did it for me.... the look on Cragen's face held so many emotions in that second before he turns around and let her do the interrogation. As well the firm look on her, saying she at that point in fact had made up her mind. Like she tells to the psychiatrist "my work is the one thing he can't take from me".... and here Benson basically tells Cragen, trust her or she is done.... she needs him to trust her as well trust she will work her way back from her ordeal in her own way. And that she is saying this in front of the team, also letting them know how she feels about it - "Don't treat me like I'm about to break" - because that would be the worst thing for her... she more than ever needs the back up from them all.... (and I'm sure we will see more of this later on....)

And it was well done mixing the flashback in episode two (awesome edited Karen....) with what happened in "real" time. In fact scary and sad to say as real as it can be....

If there is something I would say, which probably would be too much for some, would have episode one to be a whole two parter. It felt a bit rushed in the end even though the story holds, but that's me....

And like said above, the Emmy for best lead actress should go to Mariska (kuddos for great acting there (had me scared/worried there for a moment) as well to make-up, and specially hair - well since she cut it herself hopefully with help from hairdresser Brian) there should also be a Emmy for best villian to Pablo Schreiber (I feel pretty sure we will see him again at some point "trying" to get back at Benson once and for all.....I'm sure team Warren/Julie have that one figured out already?.....?) for being scary and provoking as heck....

Overall....? Buckle up, cause this is a totally new SVU in town for this season, ready or not....

SVU opening night... it all starts today...

The day has arrived, what we all have been waiting for.... We will see who saves Benson after an hour of terror by the hand of the beast, followed by another new episode right after.  All day twitter have been buzzing  - Thank you Mariska, Warren, media, etc. etc. you get the picture - it has literally been hard to keep track what happened here and there and all of a sudden the clock is ticking closer to the first episode... 3 hours (I need a tad sleep as I'll be getting up again at 3am....timeline thingy....)

Ready or not, it all comes out tonight, it all starts here.... I wonder where the arc will be by the end of the season....

All SVU stills belong to NBC, borrowed fromhttp://allthingslawandorder.blogspot.dk/ where you can find information about the episode as they air.....

Oh and do go to the end.... there's some hashtag to remember...... specially the last one, throughout the season....  :-)

PS.: The Matrix thing... I found it fitting as if you can look closer, there is a line saying: "Everything that has a beginning has an end"....

Surrender Benson miniposter..... two of them.....

Ok, decided to release the "Surrender Benson" poster today.... I've been looking at it for like well let's just say too long.... and there are two episode on the same day, which means there is another episode poster which needs to be done too....

One week left.... and it is going to be one heck of a season I'm sure from what we have seen and heard the past few days..... bringiton.... justsaying.....

So here goes.... I like the last one best..... maybe I should try see how it looks on a t-shirt and join the SaveBenson movement.... 

Promos, interviews and such can be found at http://allthingslawandorder.blogspot.dk/   which is buzzing with lots of SVU news these days too.... hurry before the interview clips is off.....

One week till two SVU episodes.....two teaser.....

Ok, I am still stuck on the "Surrender Benson" miniposter, should I just keep it simple for once with no photos or should there be photos.....

However I did two others and then I saw there was this fan answer and question Mariska did on Katie Show, where there was one question about if Benson would ever have an happy ever after... would she get through the fire.... well.....

And the other one is from the interview - I can't find it to do the others at the moment... - but I did this one with Kelli/Rollins....

The promo photos belong to photographer/NBCSVU, backgrounds found on internet, just had the ideas for layout....

 

Two weeks till SVU....

Two weeks till SVU kicks off season 15 with Surrender Benson, boy the more we see the more the more I am sure this season will be one of the hardest one of SVU.... We have yet to hear the theme of the season, but I would venture to say "Dark vs Light". Sure there will be SVU cases in the coming episodes, but we will also see how Benson deals with meeting of the Beast... meeting is putting is underrated mild......

Anyways, as I will soon have time to get into the miniposter, I just can't help tease a bit... what Warren and Co does it all the time.....  0:-)  This one however is in the making and I just can't make up my mind which one to use.... with the text I've made, which almost could stand alone.... I may do two in the end.....

So much is happening and still 2 weeks off before we will..... well make it through the first two episodes....

Remember this is still in the making and changes will be made.... all photos belong to NBCSVU ......

3 Week till SVU returns.....

Twitter is buzzing with SVU news from well almost everyone and it doens't look too pretty for detective Benson at all, by the looks of the released promos....

That said, I realised I had done another teaser which I am going to release here. I do have another one in the works, but it is teasing me... well looking at Cassidy/Dean Winters on where to place that concerned look from the promo in the poster had me at a stop litterally for too long. (I'm biased.....).

Anyways, a simple teaser.... 3 weeks to go, the SVU gang is filming episode 4 "Internal Affairs" this week, which have been kinda nicknamed #Bensidycity ..... (I think lots want to skip to episode 4.... until news got out "Tucker" is back again... to take whose's badge.... sigh....) can we just get started on SVU season 15 please?
