Totally Geeking Out About Law and Order (Crimnal Intent and SVU)



I thought my biggest heartbreak this week was the series finale of one of my favorite TV series Law and Order Criminal Intent. Oh was I wrong, this week served me a double dose of sorrow with the news that Law and Order SVU veteran Christopher Meloni aka Detective Stabler was leaving the show (tear). Lets start with the first agonizing situation, saying
Goodbye to Law and Order CI.

Cerebral, Dark and Suspenseful are the best words to describe such a thought provoking series that reminded me of a modern day Sherlock Holmes with its intellectual plot twist, or Columbo in the way the suspects of every case seem to think they could out-smart the very quirky Det. Robert Goren(Vincent D'Onofrio) or his partner Det. Alexandra Eames (Kathryn Erbe). For the past ten years, the NYPD's Major Case Squad tackled the city's numerous homicides with only enough information to keep you informed, without giving it all away. The Very last episode aired Sunday June 26, called "To the Boy in the Blue Knit Cap",I will not spoil the ending for all who have it TiVo-ed, but with my excitement for the last show i have to say i was disappointed and a little appeased at the same time. Lets just say it was a bit of a teaser lol. This show will be missed and the past seasons will be a part of my DVD collection when ever there's nothing "good" on TV.
















Goodbye Detective Stabler
Detective Stabler AKA Christopher Meloni
 
Unknown to me, Christopher Meloni  recently left "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" after 12 seasons on the hit show following unsuccessful deal negotiations in May. Obviously his character can not just be recast so it will be very interesting to see how the writers and Mr. Dick Wolf  write in replacement detectives Danny Pino(Cold Case) and Kelli Giddish(Chase) who were confirmed to be added to the series as regulars for the new season,NBC announced Monday. 
Stabler's partner Det. Olivia Benson. (Mariska Hargitay) wont be leaving the show but her role will be scaled back after her "promotion" to a supervisory position half-way season 13(about time lol). There were rumors of Jennifer Love Hewitt to replace her but those were found to be just rumors Although I do find it funny how the Law and Order franchise "recycles" cast members like the ADA Casey Novak(Diane Neal, Seasons 5-9), well in a episode called "Ridicule"(season 3 episode 10) Her character was named Amila Chase,and she was a suspect  lol. 
All in all I will still be totally geeking out about this show as long as it is on the air.

WTF, OMG A Law and Order I didn't know about???
 While I was searching though my Netflix suggestions I came across this, Law and order: UK. Although I haven't seen it yet, I cant wait  :) !!!
