My thoughts as I’m watching 24 seasons of law & order svu:
Season 6
6x02 seems to show the worst and best of Elliot. Compassion for the victims, doing whatever it takes to save them. As well as, doing whatever it takes and anger management issues…
Not really a svu observation. But Lea Thompson saying: “a mother knows her child” and then playing a mother in switched at birth, where she did not in fact know her child, is kinda ironic.
6x04 is probably my favorite episode yet. The chase was done really well. The interrogation showed Stabler, changing strategies several times. Also, Munch got to shine a bit, feel like that hasn‘t happened in a while. Great attention to detail, that they all wore the same clothes over three days.
6x05 definitely started off interestingly, you have Benson lying to a victim's family and then Stabler being under IAB scrutiny.
6x07: I know the team hates it, but I love it when they have psych evaluations. Fin actually knowing when it’s time to step away is probably the most sane thing any one of the group has been in these cases. Also, it’s most likely for the best that Stabler was taken off the case. However, I would have liked to see his religion play into this. Loved that the girl realized the perp was lying due to his words and not because of something Olivia said.
6x08: Kinda annoyed that the Victim was so fixated on her portfolio, and then she just leaves it at the hospital… I knew she would accuse Stabler as soon as she “fainted”. And that was a harsh revelation about his family. I honestly don’t know whether to believe the vic or the perp. That’s why I actually love that it was open-ended, even though I usually hate when stories aren‘t wrapped up.
Benson and Stablers blank looks in 6x09 when they interviewed Ray-Ray are just priceless! Amanda Plummer plays schizophrenic really well. Jealous Benson is quite fun to watch.
Stabler just being done with it all in 6x11 makes a lot of sense. Also, him comforting Benson the episode before and now her being his voice of reason is quite nice. And of course, her organizing his kids to see him.
Halfway through the season, I gotta say, this first half was really strong. Good stories, nice personal insights, good acting, what’s not to like.
Someone having to explain “LMAO”, makes one realize just how long this show has been on.
Benson and Stabler are like kids getting scolded by their dad (Cragen) in 6x16. I know it’s supposed to be serious, but I just thought it was funny. Also, Alex is back!! (At least for one episode)
I like how they changed it up in 6x17, with most of the episode taking part in the interrogation room.
Loved getting some backstory on Benson in 6x19. And I’m on Cragens side when it comes to the DUI charges in 6x21.
So overall, really strong first half, felt like the second half was a bit lower in quality, but that night have just been my set of mind whilst I was watching it.

Favorite Episodes: 6x04, 6x07 and 6x08
Favorite lines:
"You’re just looking for the right girl. And one day you’ll rape her and live happily ever after." - Stabler 6x09 (well, that went dark fast)
"Look how great you turned out. It’s not all about the genes, Liv." - Stabler 6x13
"Denise Eldridge is a fruitcake." - Benson 6x19
