Sigh.... another episode, which needs more than 140 character or does it???
I've seen the episode, but didn't have the subtitles as "backup" so I had a bit difficult time hearing/read lips what Benson and Cassidy talked about at the end of the episode.(whispering people is not the best options for deaf/hard of hearing people, SVU guys....no offense....) that said, could someone please do something about IA Tucker? Ok, Tucker aka Robert John Burke does a great job getting on SVU squad nerves as well keep them on their toes. However the last "I need your help on this case putting Cassidy in jeopardy" had me, please could either SVU or ADA Barba just take him down a notch or two......(nice one Kevin....).
When I saw David Conrad was going to be in this episode as well, bad arse cop, I had to do a double take as I've only seen him on "Ghost Whisperer". Boy was he creepy and David Conrad pulled it off nicely.
As did his "partner" officer Ryan Quinn / actress Nadia Dajani, following his lead on whatever he was doing, because he was "covering/taking" care of her.
Which brings me to the "ouch that hurts Olivia" moment, where Benson interrogates officer Ryan Quinn, about her "relationship" with her partner. What Ryan was hoping for or would she be happy to stick with him for the next 10 years. It was something that never would happen. Did someone say double confession here? Ryan finally getting the hint, she never could have what she so longed for with her partner and Olivia - in my eyes - finally voicing her thoughts on the Stabler subject. Yes, she may have wanted to be with Stabler, he left and so she choose to be with Cassidy, hopefully falling in love with Cassidy in a different way, you do when you reconnect/know someone like this. Even if Stabler returned (not gonna happen any day soon), I would think Benson have, well, matured about those feelings towards him. (one thing... I wonder if Cragen listened on the other side hearing this....?)
Before I move along, I want to say I liked Stabler, yes I've read a few EO (Elliot/Olivia) fanfics as well, yes I can see why some would want it to be Stabler and Benson together, however Stabler is a no go area now, which Benson in my eyes clearly stated, when she talked to officer Ryan Quinn, about what she was hoping for. So for Benson to ever get together with Stabler, never would happen. Case closed. Period. End of story. There is a new man in Benson's life, like him or not..... sorrynotsorry, but I'm team Bensidy.
Sure ship EO away in fanfics, but as far as I am concerned on The show, it is Warren's (probably with Julie and Wolf Dick and a few others) call, who Benson is with .... although if Warren puts Benson with Tucker, I would have a hard time follow that line (I'm pretty sure he was pulling a late night joke with that one on twitter..... right Warren....).
I happen to like Dean Winters as Brian Cassidy and it was great to see him have more play on SVU - hopefully we will see more to him for the rest of the season, I can see the layers in this character being pealed off, open and hopefully find his own corner of where he wants to be, as NYPD cop and be with Benson - I am left pondering though, when he was undercover, at one point it clearly looks like he is not entirely comfortable about the situation (waiting in the car knowing what might be going on), why didn't he react to his guts... he is still a NYPD cop...
Could be because I don't know about the case the episode is about. I did find it disturbing, that there a few bad torns out there serving to protect the people and instead uses their "power" in this way. Ok, it is old news when it comes to politics and such, but within the forces?
And let's just take a moment to be "proud" of Captain Cragen..... it may not have been good politics to kick out IA Tucker from his office, but for once I enjoyed that moment, though not happy if it means Tucker takes away Cragen's shield later on....
Let's not forget the Amaro/Benson moment in the car, where he reminds her, she can talk with him whenever, where she brush him off as he treats her normally (that's how I heard it, correct me if I'm wrong....), love it....
By all means let's us have more Finollins undercover moments.... they pulled it off good there......
So like Mariska said in reply on Katie show about relationship on SVU, there is this arc Benson have to go through and I won't go there, but I do hope the SVU land will let Bensidy stay together from now on... through the good/bad times... let's show there is love out there for the victims too. That once you are ready, there is one you can trust. I'd like to see that too... (and if there is more, my Bensidy heart is more than happy... hey I am a fan too......)
Overall.... another "kick of the table on high notch well written episode well acted".... oh and Kevin (Warren, Julie, Peter, etc. etc. you know), by all means, tease as much as you want, if we get more like this... I don't mind.....
Ps. could I have my apartment redecorated by your set master? Love Bensidy's new place/home....
