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!!

And he is not a misogynist either. He loves women...he..um, just doesn't trust us. That sounded nicer in my head, huh? Sometimes they have him too far on the other side of that line. Other times, he is too soft. Either way, not Munchlike.
Don't all Jewish people start in NY? (sarcasm)

Nope, not a misogynist at all. If anything, he loves women too much (though you're right, he doesn't trust us, and scarcrest and I have some theories on why he never told Kay he loved her, ranging from he was intimidated by her to he didn't think he was good enough for her). There have been a few times when they've gotten his soft side right; Munch has a major white-knight complex that's become more pronounced with time (you'll notice he's almost always rushing to the aid of the damsel in distress). One of my friends came up with the perfect way to describe Munch: he's a burnt marshmallow. Crispy on the outside but with a soft center.

Must.Write.Spec. Have never written script in my life, but could I do worse? Olivia needs to take her pills to work *up* to "secretary with a gun". Eh, it's not that bad, but...you know. A burnt marshmallow is a perfect Munch descriptor. "intimidated by her" and "Didn't think he was good enough" Yes. Both. At different times. Sometimes flip-flopping, sometimes simultaneous, and still it's the healthiest relationship Munch ever had. Poor bastard.(I say that like I'm different.)
