Who cares if the Wakefields attacked Abbie without any proof? They CAME TO HER HOUSE and TALKED TO HER, yo! THE WAKEFIELDS. That's like Jamie Peters(? the SVH equivalent of Johnny Buck, anyway) coming to your house, dontcha know!!!

I wonder if she got their autographs.

And I love how the solution to nobody reading the Oracle was to "add humour". If everyone on the staff was like Elizabeth, you just KNOW that the whole thing screamed "We take ourselves too seriously."

First comment, woot!

[tooimpurenangel]

Well, Liz was deep! The Oracle should be a bastion of DEEPNESS.

[svhhorseluvr]

It's a gossip column that is "never mean" and people "want to be in it". Like 'The Johnny Carson Show' or 'The Simpsons'. Of course, it's always mentioned how hard Liz works on E&E...what's so hard about writing stuff like "A certain blonde girl is eyeing a hot newcomer"?

Wo, Jess sure did get creepily involved in her brother's relationship!

I always thought it was funny how Jess pushed to get Cara and Steven together and then when they were happy she was miserable.
Oh, and poor Abbie...

[kakeochi_umai]

Also, if Abbie's mum is a psychologist and psychoanalyses her, shouldn't she be saying something about her obsessive sucking up to people who are judging her about stuff really isn't their business?

Wait...

And incidentally, the name of Elizabeth's column always made me cringe because it made me think of that line in that kids' song, Head Shoulders Knees And Toes. I still think of her column when I'm doing that song with my students.

It makes me think of the monster in Pan's Labyrinth.

If you eat Liz's grapes, she'll eat your fairies!

OMG!

[tooimpurenangel]

That would be hilarious, except that monster freaked me out SO BAD! Now, when I see "Eyes and Ears" I think "EYEBALL-handed monster!"
But maybe the fairies are like ephedrine and that's how she keeps her PERFECT SIZE SIX figure?

Steven looks like Gary Numan.

In Jessica's defense, Cara and Steven ARE a really boring couple.

[tooimpurenangel]

Jessica thinks ALL happy couples are boring!
Even when she's a part of it! AJ for Chris Crazypants...Sam for Brandon Hunter...Ken for Christian Sappyass.

[washie]

She might have stayed with Sam had she not accidentally murdered him.

Or Nick Fox.... I guess (didn't really keep up with SVU)

[tooimpurenangel]

Yeah, I pretty much quit reading SVU after the professor drove himself off a cliff to protect Jessica from his crazy wife.
