I didn't hate it as much as apparently everyone else, but I thought it was truly uneven. I thought the girl was far too believable in her opening scenes to be outed as a liar later. I thought she did a very uneven performance of a manic-depressive - where Sally Field overdid it on ER a few years ago, she way underdid it, but as I recall she was stunt casting so at least we should be happy it wasn't Paris Hilton (I will never forgive Veronica Mars for that).
It would have been a nice change of pace for someone else to believe in the girl, like, say, Munch, but then you'd probably be mad they made him the dumb one, so I'll shut up. :) I just felt for an episode that centered on the mental-illness-medication debate, they took way too long to actually get to the debate. Oh, and Casey needs to grow a damn spine already. Either she has prosecutorial discretion or not. Make up their minds.
Still, SVU beats the hell out of Original Flavor, which I'm going to give up soon if they don't stop hammering on the press, goddamn it. I have SO had it with that. But hey, I'm watching the finale, in the hopes that the ADA's kidnapping leads to *trumpets* Fred Thompson's defeat at the polls! Please? They've been building up to it all year.
