Welcome to the board dear friend

I'm actually glad that this Nancy subject is dropped, it has been going around in circles.

hi friend and thank you to the Mod for letting me clear up the misconception far as im concern case is closed

So...any info on the next batch of episodes? I feel like I'm about to go on withdrawal with just the thought of having no new ep. next week. On the other hand, it will free up my time for "Glee." That is, if they're not on hiatus too.

The preview for "Anchor" is up on NBC.com. It looks interesting.

Oh my God. Glee is hilarious! And that cast is so freakin talented! I have that set up to record as well as SVU. I tend to flip back and forth b/w the shows during commercials. Soooooooo awesome.

From Neal Baer's twitter (SVU schedule)

Dec. 9- Anchor
Jan. 6- Shadow
Jan. 13- Quickie (an "Olivia" episode about preventing HIV)
Feb. 3- Confidential (Neal also stated that there will be a nominated Oscar actress guest starring)
Feb. 10- PC (aka Victimized, aka Anonymous)

Both Kathy Griffith and Naveen Andrews will be guest starring

Sadly, "Glee's" mid-season finale is next week, during SVU. I, too, love watching "Glee" and am so bummed that it will be taking a 4-month hiatus. The show will be back in April after the "American Idol" finale and will move to Tuesday nights. The only good thing is that we won't have to choose between "SVU" and "Glee" anymore!

Okay.... now I'm a little confused
I thought PC was PC from the beginning (i.e The episode with Kathy Griffin playing a lesbian) and Quickie was the one they keep changing its name - from Anonymous to Victimized and finally to Quickie!!

And, didn't Neal say Quickie will be Alex-Centric episode?

The title changes keep confusing me as well.
After looking at Baer's tweets this is what I know...
Quickie is a lot of A and O together. I think it is an Alex-centric episode.
Quickie is the episode formerly known as Victimized/Anonymous.

I dunno- there's so many tweets going back and forth that it's confusing to keep up!
However I'm curious to know what PC stands for?

Acording to Neal PC stands for Politically Correct

That is (politically) correct! According to Neal Quickie is about dealing with HIV and the responsibility to protect oneself...Mariska stars

Did anybody see Lopez Tonight with Kathy Griffin as the guest? She was talking about her upcoming appearance on SVU... and she dropped what I would consider something Neal probably didn't want us to know...

Fellow Gleek! Awesome. The cast is talented indeed.



Another fellow Gleek!

Oh, believe me, if I can find "Anchor" online before it airs, I'm so watching "Glee" at 9. It's the Sectionals! As much as I like Fin-centric episodes, I'm actually not that excited for it. This is NBC's fault; if they didn't mess with the schedule, I wouldn't have to choose. I shouldn't have to choose at all.


Back on topic... thanks for the episode updates, everyone.

....OMG !!!
What a spoiler!!! If it's true (sometimes we know some spoilers are not real ones, but just made for people to talk...so no offense New_Auntie, thanks for sharing anyway) I can't wait to see that, the context, why, aso...that could be very funny and ... awkward...but....thanks for sharing this!
Can't wait to see if it's confirmed later or not, and I can already see miles of discussion in different threads ...

Thanks for the warning! I will make certain to skip this eppy...


Neal Baer, you - F$%&#*% @#$@$&#@er!


ANDREA

OMG im a Gleek too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im sad, too that we have to wait a while for new season!
I think i might watch it instead of SVU only because i'm become so far addicted to it that this hahaha sadly to say!
But yay for it being a different night!

Woo-hoo!

=)

For any fellow Gleeks trying to decide between watching SVU or watching Glee tonight, just wanted to let you know that www.hulu.com has full episodes of Glee on its website. Only episodes 8-12 (13 tomorrow) are available on the site right now. It posts episodes the day after they air, so if you want to watch SVU tonight and catch Glee on Hulu tomorrow, you can! It's 100% free and 100% legal, too!

Just wanted to let you know in case you hadn't heard of the site!

Oh yea totally. I went to Hulu last week and there i was able to catch up on a few episodes i'd missed because i was watching SVU haha

thank you, though. I still watched Glee last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And im glad that i did because it was AMAZINGGGGGGGGG =) aww im still jumping for joy because of it! =)

Guess I'm one of the very few people who don't watch Glee. Wednesday nights is a busy TV night, I have Cougar Town at the same time of SVU as well as Ghost Hunters (thank God it encores at 11 PM so I can get that since my DVR can only record two shows at the same time). Before that I have the Middle and after SVU I have (or had now that it's over for now) Top Chef. I'm so happy that Scrubs moved to Tuesdays! I finally have a TV night for Tuesday. My poor DVR won't have to go up in smoke!

You are not the only one, no Glee for me, but I do watch Top Chef, and i am not happy, I wanted Bryan.

Anyhow, this is the SVU spoiler thread, and that spoiler did not make me happy but I did read somewhere (and I just forgot where) that she was kidding, but only time will tell.

I don't mean to be rude, but if Olivia is going to kiss a woman for ANY reason it has to be someone better that Kathy Griffin! Wasn't Bill Pullman and Dale Stuckey bad enough???

Oh, I'm well aware of the wonders of Hulu. That's how I was able to catch up on all the episodes I missed while I watched SVU. But there's something special about watching it "live" on TV, and not on a computer screen. By the way, I've already caught up on "Anchor" too. So, either way, I'm good.

Yeah, I also watched Top Chef, although I was rooting for Kevin. Oh, and Mad, you should check out "The Good Wife" on Tuesdays at 10 on CBS. The contenders for Best Female Performer in a Drama Series is about to get even more crowded. Julianna Margulies is just amazing. Not to mention that the writing itself is smart and sharp.

Back on topic. I totally agree with QueenOlivia. That spoiler did not make me happy at all. It sounds like a stunt just to get attention, and not necessarily the good kind. Seriously, is TPTB that desperate? Hopefully, it's just a rumor and that KG was just kidding as always.

Either Bryan or Kevin I was all for
About the Good Wife, sorry, I'm not really big on Chris Noth. Everytime he has a successful movie he decides to leave his show and then when the movie is done for, he tries to find another TV show to occupy himself until another movie comes out to make him a big star kinda thing, it pisses me off. It's fine to make movies but stick to your TV show if you really believe in it! You get a paycheck every week while the movie you get that one paycheck...sorry for a little rant

About Kathy Griffin...well I do think she's a great comedian, she has had me laughing before with her stand up on TV but I could never really picture her doing a drama appearance. Then again I didn't think Martin Short couldn't pull it off but he did! There are comedians who are usually in the stereotype-funny roles but then they go on drama that can pull it off (or not even). As for the kiss...I really don't know...maybe Olivia goes undercover as a lesbian? Or maybe Kathy's character was so hot for Olivia that she pulled her in for an unexpecting kiss?

Did you guys SEE this article? Wow

http://uk.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_...ut_mariska.html

(Andrea don't read anything else if you don't want to be spoiled.)




Olivia really gets shot? Time will tell on an E/O romance? Haha, oh, Neal Baer, you're such a tease. Thought I'd share.

Thanks for sharing. This article sounds good to me...=)

It actually sounded pretty good to me, too. I'm looking forward to the new year of SVU already!

I also don't watch glee...and I do watch Top Chef...I was rooting for Jennifer...but oh well...Back on topic, I don't want to see Olivia kissing another woman period...Maybe I won't watch this episode, just tape it, so I can fast forward past it.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I couldn't agree more!

I won't be watching at all. I will tivo it, and wait to hear from you guys. If Liv is kissing a woman, I won't be tuning in and I will have to consider if I will continue watching this show in the future. All single edgy independent woman aren't lesbians, bisexuals or trisexuals. Why do we need to make a point with Liv?


*&^&%)%*^%(*&!!!!!


ANDREA

Didn't they say she's not really shot??

OK, I think everyone needs to calm down about this kissing spoiler. 1) It's probably not true- Kathy Griffin anounced it on a late night talk show-she was probably just trying to say something shocking to get some attention. 2) Kathy plays an LGBTQ activist on the show-so maybe the kiss (if it is true) is for something like AIDS awareness, or I like the earlier comment about KG's character "pulling Olivia into a kiss." 3) I think it's pretty clear based on the story lines over the last few seasons that Olivia is heterosexual, and should put to rest anyone's fear of Olivia "turning lesbian."

So, my question is this. Is everyone upset at this news b/c they are either EO or DO shippers and if Liv were to come out it would crush them? (I'm in this category BTW b/c I love me some EO!)

OR

Are people reacting so negatively because of the possibility of a girl on girl kiss involving Liv?

Although everyone is entitled to their opinion, I think we should be careful not to come accross as hateful towards a specific group (whether it be an issue of race, gender, religion, or sexuality).

Just my two cents, and forgive me if I read anyone's post incorrectly. BTW Andrea I'm not trying to single you out-your post just merely summed up the feelings coming from several on the board.

Well, for me personally, I am so hooked up on E/O or D/O that seeing Olivia with anyone else would not be cool with me. I mean I don't have a problem with anyone's decision for sexuality or anything like that. I just always pictured Olivia with a guy, and it would just be a hard change for me. I would accept it, but it would be hard. Again, this is just me and my opinion lol

Thanks for that...

I'm not a homophobe, but I do resent TIIC straddling when it comes to Liv. I do not wish to see Liv kissing another woman PERIOD! I watched The L Word from beginning to end. But what I won't do is watch those morons try to please every fan base with this one character. Liv is my favorite (not sure why anymore...probably more to do with Mariska than anything), and I won't watch them swing her every which way for the purpose of a reaction. Not going to do it!


ANDREA

This is just my 2 cents but did u guys ever consider that maybe Liv doesn't kiss her but she kisses Liv. It could be like that episode with Elliot when he was interrogating the woman and she suddenly kissed him. Well what if Liv is questioning this lady or something and she just kisses Liv. I don't know i just don't see Liv kissing another woman.

New bubbletweet from from Neal Baer:

This SVU episode is called SHADOW and airs January 6, 2010! Mariska and Naveen and a boot: http://bit.ly/7OC8VD > *IS DEAD*

I am not a homophobe either, but I have to agree with delivia on this. This isn't because I ship E/O because everyone knows I don't. They have been screwing around with Mariska's character and it is for the worse.

I am actually okay with the kiss. I just wish it were someone other than Kathy Griffin (she really annoys me). There are a lot of people in the gay community who are going to love this, as Mariska is a big hit among them. I guess I'm just curious about the context in which this is going to happen. SVU is really good about hyping things that end up being no big deal. My guess is that will be the case here as well.

I am not going to base my decision on whether or not to watch the episode on a kiss, but I completely understand both sides of the argument. I guess I'll withhold judgment until it actually happens!

LOL- that was pretty funny!

Why would it be a "stunt to get attention" or "desperate" for Liv to kiss a woman? I mean isn't it the same as kissing anyone else? Imagine if you changed this scenario to Liv kissing someone of a different race or religion and you said the same thing. Doesn't sound right does it? But not causing waves here, just wanted to let you know how this comment can be taken by some.

I don't see why Liv kissing another woman is any kind of big deal. She's kissed Dean, some sleazy reporter guy, Cassidy... Is it because it's a woman? What about a respectable woman, admired in her community, strong powerful, and shows Liv the adoration she deserves? Where's the problem?

Wow, you would really stop watching because of that? You are right about single edgy independent women. Tv through history has shown us many many great tough females: Buffy, Sarah Connor, Cagney and Lacey, Veronica Mars, Scully, Alexis Carrington, Lily Rush, Wonder Woman, The Bionic Woman, all of Charlie's Angels- the list goes on. I love them all and their heterosexuality isn't even a thought for me. If one of them kissed women, it would not make them any less of a tough, edgy woman. They could still bust heads like before. LOL I don't even know of a major female lead TV character that has ever been shown kissing a woman. Olivia Benson chases down perps that are rapists and child molesters. She can take care of herself in tough situations. Why would a few kisses with women or even a relationship with a woman turn you off from such a really incredible character like her? Just askin

My issues are 3 fold:

1. Out of the blue Olivia is kissing woman? I don't have any iproblems with women kissing women if that is their preference, but Olivia Benson is not a lesbian. I just find the whole thing very gimicy (fi that is a word). Lets say it is for the case, why would she need to kiss another woman to pertend to be a lesbian? Lets say Kathy Griffins character pulls her into a kiss. Really? You can be attacted to someone that doesn't mean you can force a kiss on them, would it be okay if some man just grabbed and kissed Olivia? In that same vain, all because she is a lesbian does that mean she would just grab and kiss a woman she finds attactive even if the other woman is straight?

2. It is sexist of TPTB. We have had a lot of episodes with gay men, why is Elliot never pulled into a kiss? or Fin? or John? But it's okay here because it is girl on girl? To me that is the same note as all the men can get shot, but it is the woman who is almost raped.

3. It seems like sometimes (not all the time but sometimes) they exploit Olivia because of her looks. She can dress sexy, flirt, seduce and even get physical for the job, but they won't let her have an actual loving relationship? that bugs me the most So if now for whatever reason Olivia is kissed (and it is an IF, we don't know for sure) by a woman it is just another part of the pattern.

Plus I am not crazy about KG and the only person Oliviia should kiss is Dean Porter.

And I STILL believe!

I rest my case.

WTF?! Did Olivia not only fall off the deep end, but take a giant freaking leap? Lick my boot? Okay.... They better have a good point for this besides a wife not filling needs, because usually that won't cause men to lick boots. I'm feeling like all of the episodes like this, Wildlife, Zebras, and Spooked are going to come together, but then again the writers hardly continue story lines.

2. Now that's something Id like to see! Elliot, Fin, or Munch getting pulled into a kiss by a gay guy. I do agree that there is bias, but I'm gonna guess that perhaps it's because TPTB are mostly men, and some men get turned on by girl on girl stuff? It is also true that it's almost always the men who get shot and the women get raped, I mean how many episodes have there been of men getting raped?

3. Ditto. For once, I'd like to see Elliot, Fin, or even Munch do the sme thing that Olivia's had to do, only with the female or gay male suspects.

As for Kathy Griffin, I'm looking forward to her guest appearance. I think that if comedians like Robin Williams can make the transition to dramatic roles, than so can she.

Loved those boots in that bubbletweet!

I agree that Kathy G can embellish on a story. Most likely, the kiss will just be some kind of thank you peck on the cheek. LOL This character that KG plays is supposed to be serious, so I don't see a spontaneous grab n kiss happening. What I don't understand in your comment is how you link this kiss with an AIDS awareness thing. What does one have to do with the other? As for Olivia-the character, I don't think anything about her is very clear. That's what I like about her, frankly. Like a box of chocolates, you just never know what you're going to get with her. Who knew she had a Mustang convertible? Or tried to adopt a child? Or liked beach getaway vacations? Who knew that she would help her brother escape the law? Not me. It was just sprung on me in a single episode. I LOVE THAT! There have been times when Olivia was out on dates with someone who wasn't named or seen. Coulda been anyone.

Great points. I totally agree with you on your assessment of Benson's personal life and Kathy Griffin's appearance on the show.

ok, wow. people are taking this whole kissing thing way out of context. KG it a comedian. did it occur to anybody that maybe she was kidding? but if it is really happening on the show so what. no one had a problem with the episode Strain about gay guys. ok i know it would be Olivia kissing a girl this time but i do agree with QueenOlivia about her 3 reasons why she doesnt want Olivia kissing another girl, but other than that i really dont care if they had lesbians kissing on the show. i think they have already had gay guys kissing. either that or i'm thinking of something else.

1. Olivia does a lot of things out of the blue from what I have seen of the show, so seeing her kiss a woman would not surprise me. I don't think there will be any kind of grab and kiss, but I agree with you- man or woman, you have no right to cross someone's line like that.
2. Good point concerning Elliot, Fin, and Munch not ever getting put in the kind of situations that Liv is put in. There are still plenty of future episodes to go, though, so time will tell.
3. I don't agree that Olivia kissing a woman would fit into some kind of exploitation, though. If she can kiss Dean, she can kiss Kathy. I just really don't see the difference, there.
