NCIS vs. WaT

Oct 31, 2005 00:27

What has happened to my shows?
Before I get into details/discussion, let me just set up the background of this. Back in May of last year, rumors were swirling about regarding the changes happening at NCIS. Someone was going to die in the finale, and the producer kept talking about how he was planning to make the show darker the next year. Then, ( Read more... )

Season 5 (the season you're talking about) of SVU wasn't my favorite. They're dragging the DeStabler story into this current season, but hopefully it was resolved in one of the recent episodes that I haven't watched yet. The reason they can investigate missing persons cases in NYC is that there is no FBI MPU in real life. In fact, the FBI only gets involved in missing persons cases under certain circumstances. WaT takes a bunch of liberties with their stories, but I forgive them for it! (Usually. They're trying the limits of my patience with their current stories...) D.B. Wong (who plays the psychiatrist that you're talking about) was in a play or something that meant he wasn't available to do the show, so they pulled in a guest star to be the psychiatrist. I didn't like her much either.

I'm like you; usually I like male characters a heck of a lot better than female characters. I like Cold Case, but for me it's more about the emotion they are able to portray and the stories, rather than Lilly. (You can't be surprised about that, can you? I'm nothing if not predictable! *grin*)

Thanks for telling me what was behind those weird episodes of S5 of SVU.
And I love Cold Case for how it is cut, Lilly adds the fact that I can relax loving the show without thinking 'I'm gonna kill this woman'.

You're welcome. If you keep watching, beware for some weird set-ups in season 6 (our current season). Christopher Meloni (Elliot) took time off for another project, so that changed the dynamic and makeup of some of the episodes.

Lilly adds the fact that I can relax loving the show without thinking 'I'm gonna kill this woman'.
I guess that could be considered a plus! LOL

I know that I need to like (or at least not dislike) the characters of a show, otherwise I won't watch it. If it's just one character of an ensemble (like Charlie on Lost, I might be able to ignore it, but I cannot ignore a main character. Good thing I like Lilly too.
