Now featuring the lj-cut!

edit: aj! Read the cut portions of this entry. AND THEN THINK OF THAT CERTAIN CI EPISODE. Then come flailing at me, please.

Dear Law & OrderMike Cutter was in a rare form tonight, n'est-ce pas? A rare form of ARROGANT BRAVADO ASSHOLE LAWYER, a la Season 5 Jack McCoy. It was... I like ( Read more... )

In my head, the cop was Logan. It probably makes no sense at all canon-wise, but I don't care.

(But yes, that was just cruel, Jack.)

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD, NO NO NO YOU ARE RIGHT.

Oh my God.

Law & Order just confirmed what had previously been fanon-but-might-as-well-be.

OMG.

(Actual canon: beginning of second season, Mike's partner was MURDERED for testifying against crooked housing inspectors [I believe] and Mike was... basically THIS CLOSE to murdering the guy responsible back. Like, gun to his head, this close. And Olivet counseled him throughout the episode. That was the unintended violent consequences! OMG)

I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT LOGAN ALMOST KILLING BUSINESS!

This show is awesome! LOGAN AND OLIVET!

Seriously!!! I need an Law and Order icon!

daygloparker March 6 2008, 05:57:42 UTC

I LOVE THE NEW/OLD BACKSTORIES

LOGAN AND OLIVET!

Er.. what? There are two Mike's? I'm CONFUSED! Wait, did Green DIE?

daygloparker March 6 2008, 05:53:54 UTC

lol there are - Mike Cutter and Logan. Who is not in this episode but referred to as a dude that Olivet slept with while being his therapist (albeit implied, BUT IT IS SO OBVIOUS).

And Green is still alive. For now. *holds breath*

Oh, Michael "Man Whore" Logan! I want to pet your hair and take you in for an STD test.

LIVE, GREEN, LIVE!

daygloparker March 6 2008, 05:59:14 UTC

SEE? Exactly.

Logan/Olivet is now canon???? Really and truly????!!!

daygloparker March 6 2008, 14:37:41 UTC

Really. And. Truly.

(The episode was all about a psychiatrist who, years and years ago, had violated ethics and started sleeping - and later married - his underaged patient. The ADA decided to put a WACKO on the stand who claimed there was no corrolation between rape and psychiatric effect, so the defense was all AFHAJKSHFASJK WE'RE CALLING DR. ELIZABETH OLIVET TO BITCHSLAP YOU. And Jack was all, "Liz, if you do it, gloves come off!" and she's all "pfft whatev, JACK." WELL... then Jack told the ADA something that Liz had once told him in confidence - that she had counseled a police officer [!] with whom she had slept with during treatment [!!] and who had a history of violence related to this issue [!!!]. Basically, there's no way he wasn't talking about Mike about his first partner's got shot and Mike went CRAZY WITH VENGEANCE, wayyyyyyy back when.)

WHEEEE!!!!

I think I'm going to have to track down this episode now. We still haven't seen the last bit of last season down here in Oz :(

anxietygrrl March 6 2008, 13:47:14 UTC

LOGAN AND OLIVET! I KNEW IT! (I mean. I guess we all did. But. Confirmation whoa!)

I was so gleeful last night at Cutter continuing to reveal new levels of assholery. I love him. And I loved Lupo's "eugh" reaction. I'm full of L&O love! (Seriously, the theme song makes me kind of giddy again, as if it were 19somethingsomething.)

daygloparker March 6 2008, 14:42:07 UTC

I feel like I did during that one CI episode where the opera violin girl got murdered, and Rogers was all, "THAT OPERA ROCKS" and Logan was all "Rogers, when did you ever go to the opera" and she goes "WHY WITH LENNIE BRISCOE, THAT'S WHEN."

I think I enjoy Cutter's assholery because Connie has apparently stopped trying futilely to talk him out of it. Of course, and also because when the shit eventually hits the fan but good (oh and it will: this is television!), IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING TO WATCH.

(Uhhhhh. I try to imagine what I would have been like in 1995, during Jack/Claire Era. I think it... would have been like this, omg.)

eolivet March 6 2008, 15:34:33 UTC

Wheeee, sounds like my namesake makes an appearance! :D

I love how it seems like L&O has gotten over its "must. be. procedural. all. the. time" and figured out "Hey...we can use these characters backstories/personalities to enhance rather than detract from the show." :)

:waits patiently for fic: :)

daygloparker March 6 2008, 16:13:53 UTC

Yes, and your namesake ROCKS in this episode. Also: looks absolutely freaking fabulous for being, according to IMDb, 48 years old.

:waits patiently for fic: :)
Don't worry, I won't disappoint! I'm halfway through your requested fic commentary (WHICH IS FUN, because I had forgotten all these little quirky bits about the story), and I have a commissioned Office thing I have to complete first. BUT IT IS COMING.
