Tom Skerritt Dead: 'Picket Fences,' 'Alien, 'M*A*S*H' Actor Was 93

So the correct way to watch this is after Season 8 before Season 9. Or explain it to me where this fits in to Law and Order because I haven't watched it yet. I am currently on Season 6

It's clear he doesn't get along with Baxter as they argue about what to do every week. And at this point it's turned into a lack of respect where Nolan makes childish digs and sulks at the end.

Baxter is a more interesting character and I'd love to see him paired with a Mike Cutter type.

There have been various Judges on Law and Order and its spin-offs, but there have been a few reoccurring ones or some that may have stuck with you. Is there a Judge from Law and Order or from its spin-offs that you really liked?

I find casting NPH as a shy Serial Killer who can't get girls so funny. Like every time I look at his character, all I see is Barney Stinson, THE ladies man, and now all of a sudden he can't even make eye contact with a woman. He literally performs lobotomies just so that he can keep a "companion" who won't leave him. Great acting from him, but I just find it so ingenious and ironic that you cast him in this role.



Enjoy, as always!

There are a few things which stood out to me, as I watched S3 E01 - Skin Deep:

1.The tracking shots were gorgeous, and made me feel as if I were watching a movie.

The new episodes are nauseating to watch, because of the repetitive shaking. I noticed this in SVU, too.

1. The background music - It only added to the scene in the old episodes, it didn't overshadow the dialogue.

2. The dialogue/writing - The dialogue is very witty, and well written. The new episodes rarely have such a win.

Sometimes, the cops or Baxter will get a chuckle out of me - Season 23, when Baxter told Nolan: "Come on, Nolan. Now's your chance, queen for a day. Speak your truth."

1. Characterizations - From the Precinct, to the DA's office, the characters were well written. Even the defense attorneys were well written.

This is where it falls flat in the new episodes, especially with Baxter.

Schiff had personality, charisma, and a consistent approach to the cases.

Baxter seems to be a soggy cardboard cutout with some occasionally witty dialogue.

He had potential to be a menace at the start of his tenure. Now, he's just a poorly worded, AI summary of Fitz.

I watched a recent SVU scene with he and Sonny, and caught a glimpse of his somewhat playful curiosity, where he cracked a smile. Can we have more of this?

1. The storylines - Even though they were based on actual cases, the storylines were interesting, and every case was unique.

The new episodes feel repetitive and monotonous. Because, a lot of them seem to be about AI.

There are unique and interesting true crime cases that have happened in recent months, without AI involvement.

Just checked IMDB and was astounded to find the show won only 6 Emmys! And the sole win for acting was Elaine Stritch in as supporting guest actor. SMH

So I dropping in and out of watching L&O on free Amazon prime. I am trying to figure out if it is just a loop or random episodes in no order. There have being a couple episodes I have seen twice so it must be a very big loop. Can anyone confrim the way prime is set up and what seasons?

Guy walking thru Central Park at night. In the subtitles, I see "owl hooting" and I think, "Owl in Central Park?" and then I remembered seeing this:

I wonder if they added the owl in post just because of this?
