Those are asses so it's safe to say you don't have a fucking clue what to do when it comes to the ladies. Read more

I wasn't joking. Read more

You joke, yet you inadvertently state the absolute truth. Read more

Misandrist ladyblogs get my vote for things that make me wish for a dotcom crash in 2015. Read more

I think the whole thing was badly executed; there was no need to induce Olivia's PTSD because of a rape threat to her personally (we've also seen Olivia threatened this way before, when she was undercover in a prison?) and virtually the exact same plot could have been executed with some sensitivity to modus operandi an… Read more

The main reason I watch now is Raul Esparza. There is not enough Raul Esparza! Give him a whole episode! Read more

Pro tip: Watch L&O UK on Youtube (there are a ton of full episodes on there). It reuses many plots from the early seasons of the original L&O but updates and British-izes them (so they incorporate things like cellphones, broader availability of CCTV footage and the UK legal system). With SVU now so infuriating and CSI… Read more

I loved the original as well, and still do. Jerry Orbach! Sam Waterston! Chris Noth! Also loved every season of Criminal Intent. But SVU was a big fat nope from day one. It always seemed so obviously "HEY LOOK, LOOK AT THIS CREEPY LURID SEXUAL STUFF." And...ew. One or two episodes per season that focus on a rape or…

You know it's a sad state of affairs when much of the time a 10 year old rerun of L&O is the best thing on television. (Which happens often in my house.) Read more

I loved the original L&O from beginning to end. I was sad to see some characters go, but always enjoyed the new ones. It is still one of my all-time favorite shows. I liked every season of Criminal Intent, too. SVU lost me about 4 years ago. It used to be excellent and I really enjoyed how the characters meshed… Read more

A side point I know but can we take a second to highlight just how incredible that Elizabeth Röhm moment was? It was maybe the only moment in the history of Network TV where I genuinely thought I might be hallucinating. Read more

Maura!! I am so happy to see you around again!! Read more

The fact that a Heinous Sex Crime show is the only thing remaining of Law and Order is depressing to me... Read more

With journalists literally acting as shills for a marketing campaign, and marketers successfully identifying a useless product with baseball fans' happy memories of a great player's long career, I'm the cynical one here? Read more

On the money. Teenaged girls & young women are so circumscribed in the ways they can show sexual desire— what else are they 'allowed' to have, besides romantic-vampire novels, fanfics, and cute bands? No matter which outlet they pick, boys & men will always deride it as puppy-love and teeny-bopper and infantile, to… Read more

I always point to screaming teenage girls (and often their mothers) as counter-point to people who claim that women don't have a sex drive or aren't ruled by like men. Read more

I remember the similarly lewd shit that Legs McNeil and the Rolling Stone boys' club used to write about my teenybopper Duran-Duran-freak contemporaries back in the 80s... Like we were a smorgasbord of jailbait T&A just there for their leering pleasure. It made me feel all ugh-sticky and SO creeped-out to learn that… Read more
