[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 1454543, member: 115"] I'm a big fan of SVU, in that I think the characters, such that they are, are excellently written. However... 1) The preview for next weeks episode... Benson may have HIV. This is such a trite, overused storyline that it really makes me wonder if there's a shark swimming around. Heh, an overused phrase for an overused plot. Now, I'm [i]well [/i]aware that NBC deliberately misleads it's audience in the previews. And I have no problem with HIV as a genuine storyline or character trait. However, this whole "may or may not have HIV" story belonged five years ago even, not today... at least, not in the US IMO. Awareness of HIV and other STDs are and have been rising steadily, and rates are generally dropping. 2) Whatever happened to Ms. Cabbot? Seriously, as much as I'm disgusted that Stephanie March could be going out with Bobby Flay (who IMO exemplifies every US stereotype), her character was so great. I'd heard she's supposed to be back for an episode or two this season... I guess that's just not gonna happen, unless it'll be a May sweeps deal. 3) B.D. Wong owns. 4) I really wish we could see more of the other agents (Tutuola and Munch) and the boss... it seems like the show has been focused a little too much on Benson and Stabler, IMO. Maybe that's just my own perception. 5) As long as I'm wishing... I miss the days of Stabler having a family. Anyway, I know it sounds like I'm whining, but really except for the first complaint I'm really enjoying the show... I like it better than the original and it's soooo much better than Criminal Intent. [/QUOTE]
