For all those who watch Law and Order: SVU without really being sure why

[kellinator]

I just heard that apparently Mariska Hargitay is pregnant.

Come on, SVU snarkers, hit me with your best shot!

I read that they won't write in the pregnancy at all. Lots of neck-up shots instead.

Wusses.

That's what I thought, too, since they had said that they were going to be writing it in if Mariska ever did get preggers; however, their reasoning is pretty sound, I think. They feel that Olivia is not in a place where having a baby would be a good thing at all. I have the article in TV Guide, just not beside me. If I think about it, I'll type the blurb up for ya later.

Yeah, that potted-plant strategy is used much more than viewers realize.

My big question is, in the potted-plant scenario, how do they tell the difference between Benson and her shield?
Oh, I know, the plant won't cry!

I went with the potted plant. Or we'll see lots of shots of her sitting behind her desk, in the car, sitting down talking to a suspect, etc. But if it does mean more Munch and Finn, hey, I'm cool with that too.

I just remember them trying to hide Charisma Carpenter's pregnancy on Angel. Even before they wrote it in, I was like "Hey, is she pregnant?" Because she was wearing a lot of big shirts. And her boobs were huge too.
