15 things about the first season of Law and Order: SVU

So I have been watching the first season of SVU and I have some thoughts.

  1. I swear to god everyone's voice is higher. Now maybe this is the quality or even somehow altered for this network, but dear lord is it weird.
  2. The endings were way darker. After a stalker is caught and we find out he will serve next to no time, he reveals he knows where Olivia's mother lives and he knows all about Elliot's family. And then we cut to black. What the hell? What happened with that guy?
  3. What ever happened to Jeffries? Yes, I do remember that she got transferred and why, but Cassidy pops up every now and then. Why not Jeffries?
  4. Cassidy sucked. Like we do see some human moments with him, but ugh he was so gross to Olivia.
  5. What ever happened to Elliot's daughter Elizabeth? Early on Maureen gets some plot lines, later Kathleen and Dickie do, but I don't think Elizabeth gets a single one. Why does she even exist? Where did she go?
  6. I miss Ice-T. He's a very good addition to the show.
  7. Some of this show does not age well. We definitely get some uncomfortable moments of using terms like he-she.
  8. Cases have always been nuts. The first episode was a cab driver with a pregnant wife who was killed and maimed. It turns out he was attacked by two women because he was actually a war criminal.
  9. They set up some two parters early on. One is even called part one, but another maybe they just decided later on to follow-up,
  10. They thought it needed help from the original Law and Order. There are several episodes where the cast of the original pops in and out. There's even a low-level guy who is the nephew of Briscoe.
  11. Boy is Olivia pretty. She's always been pretty, but it's a certain level of pretty to be able to rock all the hairstyles they throw at her.
  12. Why does Cragen keep a bottle of vodka in his desk? He's a sober alcoholic and he's just like, 'eh, other people can drink it.' What???
  13. Some of the defense lawyers stick around. I recognize several from even this early on.
  14. They didn't have the idea to commit to a prosecutor yet. They bounce around from a few nameless lawyers this season.
  15. We spend little time in the court. The focus on each episode is catching the guy, not prosecuting him. I wonder why they changed this up.

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
