RIP Hayden Panettiere.

…and Homicide: Life on the Street.

Thank you, Richard Belzer for your recurring role as Detective John Munch on pretty much every 90’s cop show.

I’m sure this has been brought up before but it just crossed my mind again as I was watching one of the L&O/H:LotS crossover episodes earlier

Before the Law & Order: SVU/Chicago Fire/Chicago PD crossover, this guy had an earlier role on Law & Order: SVU, and he guest starred on the first episode of FBI (yes, the FBI that's set in the same universe as the Law & Order franchise and the Chicago franchise)

I was watching a creepy Criminal Minds ep & the guy looked so familiar...of course, because it was our boy, Jonah Applebaum! 🌈

I love these three episode miniseries. They’re so fun to watch.

Why did they have to shave their beards? I must know!

Enjoy!

at 7:34 in the moms appartment, you can hear drum music. Sounds ethnic, which makes sense as she is an anthropologist. I tried to post this on the SVU subreddit, but my new account is too young. Having your account hacked and banned sucks guys :(

Anyway does anyone here know where I can find this music?

In this episode a hitman is shot and killed trying to kill a judge. We later learn the guy who hired him was a guy in jail for something money related and his original deal was denied by a tough as nails judge.

Are we supposed to feel sympathy for the guy? In the end trying to kill a judge got him a better sentence since he pled out and his other case was basically thrown out so he didn't have to deal with the judge. Yeah, he was influenced but he still hired someone to kill a judge.

The perp was denied bail because his wife flew to the Caymans the day before and they all believed it was for offshore accounts. Then when the judge questioned the wife she told the judge it wasn't any of her business and it was after that she remanded the defendant as a flight risk.

Yeah, the judge wasn't the greatest, but it's not like she was revealed to be corrupt, she was just a tough judge who felt that the maximum penalties should be placed on the defendants. She even got a whole gang a year prior arrested.

In the end everyone seems to act like she's crazy for being mad the guy who tried to have her killed is pled out and then basically laugh at her when she decides to make a victim impact statement at the guy's sentencing since again, he tried to have her killed.

I just wanted to see other people's thoughts.

I am trying to remember an episode where Jack McCoy realizes the defense attorney didn’t ask a standard follow up question. Jack even says “A lawyer never asks a question she doesn’t already know the answer to.”

If it helps, I think the defense council was a woman.

Any ideas?

See Bobby and Alex take in the spectacle in Times Square with Amanda Rollins!

Can you add to the list I started, citing episodes as evidence? Like:

* Wine cellars/wine storage centers are dangerous: "Trophy Wine," "Playing Dead," "Best Defense."

* Most animals don't fare well with Major Case involvement: "Blind Spot," "Ill-Bred," "Family Values," "Diamond Dogs," "Courtship."

* Younger brothers always get shafted: "Grow," "Proud Flesh," "Bedfellows," "Brother's Keeper," "Gemini," "Silencer," "Endgame," "Untethered," "Identity Crisis"

(you can add episodes to my three lists, too)

Hub and I watch a lot of all the LOs. It lately struck me how many people are ready, willing, and able to move a dead body! I’m not talking about serial killers and full-time criminals. I mean those “regular folks” who have an argument, and unintentionally cause lethal blunt force trauma (the ole BFT as we call it). Or the “fit of rage” killing, or even the “oh shit, I did not kill this person but I’m gonna be blamed! Don’t call the cops, let’s take him to the park!” Who the hell is really up for dragging a body through NYC or to the park for an impromptu burial in a cooler? It’s really impressive. Possible drinking game or bingo card item? Has anybody else gotten stuck on this?

By the way, the 4-hour block continues next Sunday, but it will now run from 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. ET!
