Stabler: From good cop to bad cliche

[ultraviolet730]

I became an SVUer purely to stave off post-Oz depression. Fearing the Meloni drought, I thought, "What the hell, I'll give that SVU thing a try." And at first, I couldn't get into it. I kept waiting for Elliot to strip. Or to snap some perp's neck. After getting a blow job, of course

Ultraviolet, what are we going to do with ourselves?

I didn't think it was possible for me to be more bitter than I was last season, but it will definitely happen if the writers fuck up Stabler. Yes, my beloved Alex left, but at least she went out in a blaze of HoYay and escaped with her character intact. We can't say that for the rest of Our Heroes.

And why, oh why, is Casey still around? All of this would be so much easier to take it Alex were the one sharing three scenes an episode with Stabler.

This is the annoying thing. Generally, it seems there's been a good deal less of Casey, so far, this season than there was at this point last year--there's definitely been fewer courtroom scenes, thank Christ. But, most of the time Casey is on screen during Season 6, she's with Elliot. And that annoys the hell out of me. What? Is she stalking him? Never mind, I think Casey bothering La Familia Stabler on the weekend in "Birthright" answers my question. Make.Her.Go.Away.Already!

Guess I'll need to make sure the liquor cabinet is properly stocked come February.

This is serious. You brought out the tie-tuck!

I can't fathom what the reasoning is. Wait - did I just give the PWs credit for reason? I DO need a drink.

Really - all she had to live through was the bangs. Fuck it, let Meloni grow a mullet if they need to ruin something. But not this.

And you're right about Casey. They seem to have used her sparingly, but overabundantly with Stabler. It's not working - we still hate her!

The fact that Meloni and Neal couldn't go to that damned party last night because they were filming just irritates me even more. Now the Novak/Stabler ickybonding is ruining shallow moments OFFscreen.

Oy.

Heehee - you're right! Maybe I went a little overboard there. No Mulloni!
