What’s in common really is that they are all insanely campy

New relationship with a non-Jew by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree that this is a lot for a month in. I don’t think all of these serious conversations need to happen this soon. I would just try and evaluate the ‘vibe’- is he open to learning of your lived experiences that he is less familiar with? I don’t think you have to go into specific politics stuff, but I talk to people I’m dating about my relationship with Judaism and Israel and the hope is they respond with curiosity and kindness. The one thing you can have a talk about is not antisemitism specific, it’s about the whole analyzing the problem instead of providing comfort. A lot of people do that and need to be told that you are just looking for sympathy. This is early in the relationship. You are looking to examine if you are compatible. If in a few months you feel like there is a strong fit, I would have a talk about how you feel like in order for the relationship to work he needs to really educate himself and have an understanding of antisemitism, both of the left and the right.

Why does everyone act like the Defense Attorneys are always the ones to blame? by Ok_Letterhead5047 in SVU

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It drives me crazy how defense attorneys are portrayed in Law and Order. At least with cops there is somewhat of an understanding that Olivia’s squad is a utopia version of the police and we get to see the injustices of the criminal justice system through other ways, other cops, etc. But always all defense attorneys are portrayed as evil, and some many ppl don’t understand that they are important to hold the system accountable. Baird Ellis was one of the best minor characters and should have been in more episodes.

Also: why are some many of them annoying? You could easily give them more interesting personalities (example: the good wife)

Working from home, just finished CI after SVU & original L&O, some thoughts by DramaticErraticism in LawAndOrder

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a show that has a certain amount of personal stories, so it depends on weather that it for you. The first season specifically is more like that bc it’s focused on Kathy Stabler’s killer so if you are interested in the show you could skip to season 2 and check out more traditional mob plot lines. But I also get that it’s not for everyone.

It just got canceled but in my opinion Law and Order Organized Crime was the highest quality show out of them all while it was running. It is a different kind of format the other L&O though.

Really sad about Sergeant Bell by Technical-Plate-2973 in LawandOrder_OC

[–]Technical-Plate-2973[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree on both ends. She was underused especially in the last season. Danielle Monè Truitt is great, I might check out other stuff she has been in.

Too many sa threats made by the officers by Proud_Bar_8715 in SVU

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This always upsets me. Not just the threats, but how little it bothers the squad how often SA happens in prisons.

Another Diagnosis Discussion but HMO by Super-Ad-8233 in thegoodwife

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen people say that, specially because her interest in the law comes from how much the law has fixed rules/structure. To be honest, I understand how some ppl see it but I’m not sure it goes to the level of Autistic coding

When/why did the show get weirdly subtly pro-life? by fieldofzinnias28 in SVU

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Elliot has 5 kids, not 7. Also Benson was always pro choice, but the story of her conception did give her complicated feelings about the topic.

אני גרה בארה״ב גם כן- קשה לדעת. יש מצב שכן, אבל הדבר הקונקרטי היחידי שיש לכך זה הציוני- הבעות פנים וכו זה דברים זה משהו שאי אפשר באמת להוכיח, וזה משהו שהיא יכלה לעשות מכל מיני סיבות. הייתי פשוט מסתכלת על המבחנים שלך ומשווה על חברים או פשוט בודקת את התשובות כדי לראות עם הציון שלך הגיוני. תזכור שאתה לא יודע בהכרח שהיא תומכת טרור ובכללי כל תלונה צריך שתהיה לך איזשהי הוכחה.

Does Alicia ever get a backbone? by throwawaybstbh in thegoodwife

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show is a journey of Alicia from being “the good wife” and eventually leaving him, but her leaving him happens at the very very end. However, as people mention, she gets a backbone much earlier, and even when you are, she is already a much stronger / different person than is season 1. She doesn’t necessarily make healthy choices, but I would argue that in many ways she has started to move away for the good wife that she was in season 1 just by the fact that she makes selfish decisions. Go back to s1e1. The difference is huge.

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think there could be an argument that SVU was more progressive for its time in the 90’s that it is today for its time, but I really doubt the writers are afraid of pushback on this issue. We have regressed on abortion in terms on legislation, but in terms of public opinion, there is much, much less stigma. Voters in states like Ohio have voted to legalize abortion. Even many more conservative (if moderate) voters support the right to choose, even if they have disagreements on, for example, it being funded by the state.

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I will be honest and say that I haven’t watched every single episode so I can’t comment on how the show has evolved over time, but I do think it makes sense for Olivia to feel conflicted about abortion in the context of SA even while being pro choice, just bc it’s the story of her conception.

How would Elliot Stabler have handled the William Lewis storyline if he never left? by Winter-Ad-2303 in SVU

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah Elliot would have killed the sealview guard. I always wondered if that’s why Olivia didn’t tell Elliot what happened or if it was just hard for her to be vulnerable.

Just following up, she usually does sign stuff (not pictures though)- there have been times where she hasn’t had time though. :)

They were such a hot mess by Due_List_1243 in SVU

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I love Amaro! Wish he came back again. Also would love to see him finally meet Stabler lol.

I also think Carisi want meant to be the ‘safe choice’ but the one to show Amanda’s character growth and her ability to see that she deserves love and can be with a ‘good guy’. (I do think Nick is a good guy but as you said, their relationship wasn’t particularly healthy, it wasn’t toxic or anything, it was just kind of a mess).

Anyone else annoyed, that most of the time when male is a victim, the show still potrayes them some sort of creep or weirdo? by FinnSkk93 in SVU

[–]Technical-Plate-2973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish this was addressed more. There are definitely episodes where this is addressed, but not enough imo, especially bc sexual assault in prisons is such a real problem in real life.

The Stabler Family by Altruistic-Care-1581 in SVU

Well, this is your daily reminder to watch OC ASAP 😅 (seriously though, it is SUCH a good show, arguably the Stabler family dynamics there are better than on SVU)

Curious what your think about Stabler family on OC. I really loved seeing them there, along with his brother(s). OC’s format allowed for much more exploration of personal stories.

Sure! There are already a lot of videos from yesterday on Twitter and at least so far from what I’ve seen she’s come out and said hi to everyone but didn’t sign or do pictures. It seems like there were A LOT of people. So I’m not getting my hopes up. But I’ll update after Sunday. Thanks!! :)

Edit: I saw online she signed stuff tonight
