Periodic SVU bitch

[kellinator]

What the hell is up with the SVU writers lately? It's like they're going, "Okay, in the episode we need to have someone make a racially insensitive comment or ethnic generalization... can't have Stabler do it, he's the golden boy... can't have Benson do it, she's the golden girl... can't have Fin do it, he's black... I KNOW!! Let's have Munch say it!!"

Ummmm... NO. Munch was a hippie, a conscientious objector, and most importantly, a member of the well-integrated Baltimore Homicide squad who quite obviously thought the world of most of his coworkers, including those of different races. Munch has got plenty of flaws (Alyssa Dyer's roommate!), but dude, get them right. Lame-ass bigoted comments just aren't in character for him.

Then again, the fucknuts writing SVU think he grew up in New York City... (all together now) NEW YORK CITY?! Get a rope!!

I missed it. What'd he say?

Something stupid about Muslims flying planes into buildings. Do you agree that this is out of character?

*hangs head in shame* I never watched Homicide. So I don't know if his SVU persona is out of character or not.

Okay, squeal away.

Scarcrest showed me a few eps, it looked good, what can I say? They put it into syndication and I'll watch. :)

I do have to add that Stabler may be a "golden boy," but that hasn't kept them from screwing with him. He's been pigheaded and chauvinistic quite often, including his ongoing attempts at "protecting" his family by hiding from them for days on end, by refusing to talk to his wife about anything job-related, to the point where I can't imagine the wife doesn't think he's sleeping with Benson. I'll give them credit for that - they never go there, and I'm glad. Men and women can work together without screwing. It happens. :)

I'm really grateful that they haven't gone there with Benson and Stabler, and I hope they never do.

You're right about Stabler. That's one of the rules in the SVU drinking game I've been writing that I hope to post soon: Drink once if Stabler mentions his family. Twice if he's worrying about them. Chug if he actually trusts his children not to be idiots.
