Lunacy
Paternity enjoyed a nice 11 day run as my favorite SVU episode, but it's over now; my new favorite is Lunacy.
IMDb was like, "Stabler runs into an old friend when the team investigates the rape and murder of an astronaut," and I was like, "Boring, I have already seen the X-Files episode Space and do not need to do that again, ever," but it turns out it was an episode about how Olivia and Elliot and Elliot's older astronaut friend Dick were going to have a threesome until the guy turned out to be a murderer.
Definitely better than Space.
This episode had it all, though: giggling Elliot telling the story of how he met Dick, Olivia in two dresses (one with a blonde wig), the reveal that Elliot and Kathy have been lying to their kids about when they got married, Olivia and Elliot and Dick killing what appears to be half a bottle of whiskey at work... everything.
Definitely a solid 9.8 out of 10. Could've been a 9.9 if Olivia had gotten to sleep with Dick before the murderer reveal, or a 10 if both Elliot and Olivia had slept with him. (Legit, Dick was asking Olivia out and she was like, "Can I bring Elliot?" but alas, Elliot had already pulled the "I'm married" card while he and Dick were tipsily checking out Olivia's ass, so Dick had to tell her no. I am not making up a single word of this.) Dreamwidth: Comment | Read Comments
