Law & Order General Discussion Thread

I will never stop complaining that they literally cut Tamin for no reason. Velasco has turned out to be a nice surprise of a character, but they had the same character as Muncy & replaced her.

This has been happening since Richard Belzer. They want an ensemble show, but then they want to have the star and it be her vehicle. You can't have it both ways.
 
This Law & Order is full of badly written characters. This wouldn't pass the sniff test in real life.

In fairness, Law & Order wouldn't pass the sniff test in real life since the first episode in 1990.
 
It's a good thing the bad guys who see Stabler's cover identity pics online never do a reverse image search.

That's a problem with a lot of long-running crime shows. In OC and SVU, it's gotten comical how many times characters (especially Stabler and Fin) go undercover, because--and I say this as someone who used to have the Midwest Gang Investigators Association as a client--criminal networks talk. It's better for those gangs to share intel they get on suspected (or discovered) undercover officers, because they're all in the business of making money. Fin's time in narcotics alone should have precluded him from ever doing undercover work again.

Similarly, the number of times Jay Halstead went undercover in Chicago PD got to the point of being utterly hilarious.
 
"I looked up the guy who claims to be a gay sugar daddy, and he's actually Eddie Wagner, arsonist."

"I looked him up too and he's Teddy Silas' muscle!"

Don't forget that Richard Wheatley forced Stabler to go on live TV and admit to all his sins or whatever. Stabler would have been burned as an undercover in New York for the rest of his career after that.

But, as I said on the previous page:

In a surprise to no one, the three Law & Order and three One Chicago shows have all been renewed by NBC.

With no showrunner, maybe Organized Crime can become the first L&O improv show.
 
OC is only getting 13 episodes for next season. Supposedly it's because the producers have a specific idea hat works better with less episodes. A season-long arc?
