I can see you're a very wise person.

*Acts all weird* Dude! I mean... uh... Dudette! That's gnarly. *Hugs* Thank you. Anybody who wants to use it, go ahead. I'm not going to keep you from a great piece of photo editing.

Oh my God, I just have to get this out there.

Okay. Did everyone see Trade? I hope so... Ack, fine. I'll put it in a spoiler.

I doubt it. I think it has more to do with her not being that close to the person(s) commiting suicide. With the first suicide, Lauren Cooper and Olivia got too close. They almost seemed like partners and Olivia could relate to her. I think she would have reacted the same way whether Elliot was there with her or not. But...any moment with Olivia and Elliot is a good one.

I'm stealing Scar's quote from the eppy thread, because I noticed it too, and now I want to re-live that moment over and over again in the EO thread with all you shippy people.

Did anyone else notice that moment? I LOVED that he put his hand in front of her and introduced her first. He. is. Yummy.

Way to be like Munch, Mary, and blow up all my floats. Yeah, I know Olivia got a teeny bit too close to Cooper, but then again, they didn't really have too strong of a 'relationship'. They were working together, and Olivia saw a desperate, younger woman who may have seemed a little unstable. (Evidently, a LOT unstable.) Yes, Cooper was a cop (or was she a Fed? I wasn't sure.), but still. A suicide is a suicide, and it's gut-wrenching for anyone involved.

Hey, you tell me it's EO and I'll see it as EO. It's all cool with me.

Exactly. She felt better because Elliot was there. The end?

Sorry but you were making a comparison with one suicide to another then saying Olivia handled it better because Elliot was beside her. I sometimes think too realisticly. I wouldn't say it was an E/O moment if I can come up with more realistic reasons behind an action.

So are you saying if Elliot would have been with Olivia when Lauren commited suicide then she would have been more acceptant of Lauren shooting herself in the head???

I'm wondering (from the preview for Cold) what Olivia's telling Elliot to make right? It could be about the case? But it could be something personal as well....

Probably his decisions.

i was thinking since they did say that thing would stir up in the stabler house that she would be talking about that, but we cant be sure, i hope its that, its been a while since theyv even mentioned them, especially liv talking about them with elliot

Maybe there's a misunderstanding somewhere along the way, and the root of it is Elliot? Ha, just a theory.

well there better be EO moments in this finale the writers cheated us on trade so the season just HAS to end with tension building between them part of that really has a big influence on the ratings and viewers, or thats atleast what i think

It's like that quote in the movie "Juno,": "It's one doodle that can't be erased."




Nice job!



I agree. With Cooper, she was able to relate with her because of their lack of familial ties, which drove them both to invest everything they have on their careers. Naturally, Cooper's suicide struck her on a more personal level than yesterday's case. In "Trade," Olivia only knew the woman as the defendant's counsel and friend, just like any other they've met over the years.

But yeah, any shared experience between Elliot and Olivia is good.

Don't hold your breath. You may turn a cool shade of blue.

Lol, I've already turned purple/blue. I have been holding my breath for what seems like forever.

Well, uh... I've already exploded. Stupid sexual tension.

LOL Here, here!

Wise words from a shipper (like me) who has been waiting a verrry long time.

I didn't get to see the ep. last night cuz I wasn't feeling well, were there any good EO moments?

we all have been waiting a very long time, so hopefully the trouble stirring at home will cauz elliot to get on kathys bad side again, which is an awful thing to say but i have been patient with the writers for el and liv getting together so they can wait for the perfect moment but that has past like 7 times already!

Nope, I dont recall it.

unfortantley, no

Was the eppy even worth watching???

Yes! It was still a good episode!

Mmmkay....would anyone mind giving me a recap?

Well a pregnant fiance was found dead in her burning apartment and after a while, the dad and son get called out, after test its discovered that the father was the ladys finance's dad and her finance was going to be a big brother, so Casey sends the dude to court, and the fathers attorney rigs a juror by giving her money. Casey loses and is discovered that the attorney killed the finance. She then attempts suicide before jumping off with the son.

LOL

Amen!! They need to get busy. LOL

Elliot and Olivia were desirable with their glasses on.

I cheered. It's the return of the cheap sunglasses! Makes me miss the old seasons.

Tell me about it.

Maybe everyone has seen this already (since it's pretty old) but I thought it was interesting, so I'm posting it. Sorry if it's already been posted!
Mariska Hargitay interview

She talks about the complexity of emotions between Olivia and Elliot after she comes back from Oregon.

The cutest part though is at the beginning when she says that when Olivia left for Oregon "emotions were really high" and they were "forced into a situation to look at what they meant to each other..." and then she interrupts herself and says "Look at me, I'm getting chills." Lol, Mariska is definitely an EO shipper.

I love that interview. It's brilliant. She obviously realises the way the writers showed the complex EO relationship. It's only a matter of time before something happens. Their relationship is too volatile to remain static. Something has to give. It has to...otherwise, all the past episodes have been for absolutely nothing. Why put a scene with Olivia moaning Elliot's name? Would it have changed the storyline? Why have Elliot and Olivia BOTH go through a situation in the SAME episode where they had to choose the job or the other? Would the episode have been less effective minus these scenes? The point of the episode was to highlight their closeness. What was the point of the entire separation of EO? The second time was because she was pregnant, but the first time wasn't. If there wasn't anything to SHOW, then they would've had Olivia leave once. Why have her leave the first time?

There are so many scenes that point to EO that would seem absolutely redundant if they don't end up together.

Oh! Oh! She mentions the other partner, the complex feelings... and jealousy! Now we know for sure, if we weren't assured of Elliot's 'duplicity' before. Not that I'm defending Dani, but I can understand how things got too murky and complicated to make them think straight. Thanks, mrslee. That interview cheered me up.

I just watched the episode "Fat" last night, and although I wasn't expecting it to be much, since Elliot had a new (and very unlikeable partner), I was just blown away with the scene where Elliot is changing his shirt and Olivia just "appears". The chemistry between these two has never been more prevalent in my mind, especially seeing Olivia just look at Elliot for long seconds, and finally admitting that the whole situation was "complicated". I watched the scene several times, trying to figure out all the emotions involved. That scene (as well as the few others Olivia appear in) are definitely diamonds in the rough, and I think speak volumes for unadmitted feelings.

Ok, clue me in .. did Lake kill someone or do people just think he did? I'm confused.

I don’t think Lake killed that guy. He was probably caught red-handed by either a witness or a cop.

I'm not sure.. but I did my research (searched for the episode's thread) and I found out that he is going to escape from a hospital and take a girl hostage. Whaddaheck is going on? Haha. I love SVU. Such a dose of drama for me, right up there with Gossip Girl.

Where are you getting those letters from?



Lake is going crazy, and Novak is going to screw up. Sadly. Well 2 characters off in 42 minutes, this should be interesting.

I wonder how they're going to manage it. It's kind of pivotal. Can they fit that into 42 minutes?

From a site which includes animated icons and texts. You click on it.

They're both leaving in the same episode?! Are you serious? Oh my gawd. I have a feeling someone's gonna get shot! You heard that from me first. I posted it in another thread. But I want to make it clear that if it happens I have some type of crazy-someone-is-gonna-get-shot-on-SVU-psychic- ability. Good luck to them with fitting that into one eppy. I hate when they kick more than one actor off at the same time. They've done it to different shows.. but atleast they gave one of those characters a spin-off. Anywho.. I'm bouncin' off the wall now.. I can't wait for this eppy!!!

I don't think they are kicking Diane Neal off the show. She chose to leave because she wanted to persue other aspects of acting. As far as Adam Beach leaving, his contract was only for a year and it has been expired. They probubly didn't wish to resign him because he wasn't able to capture the audiance like Neal Baer and Dick Wolf had hoped. Anywho...I trully hope that with this being both their last episode, the writers don't make it a crappy one. Not to mention we have another three month wait for the new and possibly last season for Law and Order: SVU.

This looks so real, Enaka! Wonderful job!

Yeah, sadly, this better be a good eppy.

Well.. I know Diane and Adam will make it out there because they're amazing actors. I just hope this last eppy of theirs shows their acting skills in even more depth. I already know Adam is gonna have to use a crap load of acting skills to pull this twist off. && I can only hope Casey leaves peacefully. I hope she's not the one who gets shot (that is if anyone gets shot..).


Yes it better have be! Or there will be crocodile tears flowing down my cheeks. && I know that we don't want the Nile River here in the USA cause we got plenty water. So my advice to them is make it a good one. Not that they've failed me this season yet.

Yeah. I pretty much agree with this in its entirety. Oh, and of course they reiterated this in season eight with "Philadelphia."
