This post contains details from the Law & Order: SVU season 16 finale, which aired Wednesday, May 20. Law & Order: SVU has been on for 16 seasons. Again-16 SEASONS. That's quite a feat in a televisual world where there are endless channels and options.
Welcome back to Graceland, USA's cop show about a bunch of impossibly good-looking federal agents chosen to live together in a beach house and have their lives... wait, no. That's MTV's The Real World. Let's face it: The elevator pitch for this show was, "We round up some really sexy agents and have their professional and personal lives intersect in all types of sexy ways!
Tonight's Graceland featured a lot of plot-thickening, definite causes for the audience to worry about Charlie's unborn baby, and chickens. A lot of chickens, but not enough to answer Mike's questions about the afterlife. Hang in there. All will be (sort of) explained. Charlie and Amber Do Miami.
Tonight's Graceland was an interesting diversion, dropping all of the ongoing subplots to concentrate on one: the gang conning murderous crazy Ari Adamian (Rhys Coiro). Let's take it con by con, shall we? Apparently crazy isn't necessarily synonymous with skipping the gym.

Previously - Having taken a position as the CIA station chief on the Afghanistan border, Carrie orders a missile strike on a Taliban target. Unfortunately, the target was attending a civilian wedding. Medical student Aayan survives the bombing and his smartphone video of the incident goes viral.
(Warning: Spoilers ahead for the first two episodes of 12 Monkeys. ) The concept of time travel, when taken to a certain extent in a fictional narrative, can break your brain. When characters start talking about paradoxes, and how time isn't actually linear, I normally have to talk myself down with something on Bravo.
Like em' or leave em', we are living in the Age of the Superhero. Never before have the heros and villains of comic books been more prevalent in our pop culture. 2008's starring Robert Downey Jr. proved that super-heroes could be bright and flashy, in addition to being introspective and complex.
Quinn tried to leave the CIA but you don't leave the CIA unless Carrie says you can leave the CIA. Fara and Max are working with Carrie to acquire Aayan as an asset. And Quinn is SSSSOOOOO in love with Carrie, It's, like, totally obvious. Jenn saw him, like, STALKER-LEVEL staring at her in Trig.
is the only show that the other Mr. Harvey actively hates. My husband hates Girls the way you hate moving, root canals, and the RMV. It's not that he doesn't get the humor inherent in watching four young emotional sociopaths rampage through life in NYC. He just doesn't find it funny.
What? I don't know. I'm wrapped in a blanket and trying to talk myself down. I think Fara's dead. It's pretty much an impossibility to sustain tension across multiple weeks of episodic television. When you overinflate the balloon, it's got to pop cuz' physics or something. If they had opened this ep.
Aayan's dead, Saul's a human shield, and Carrie's cracking. SPOILER ALERT - the med switch this episode isn't going to help her with that. What's a classic and shifty way in modern literature and storytelling to get an enemy out of the way when you have to be all circumspect about it?
Saul was kidnapped. Quinn didn't love that Carrie seduced Aayan. AAYANN finally admitted to Carrie that his terrorist uncle is alive. Everyone at home fell back in disgust at Carrie's behavior. Guilt is a terrible thing. For the person feeling it.
Previously - Everyone had a heart attack and died because this show is too intense. You know how the ABC marketing team promos winter finale as this big deal where pulses will be pounded and none of us will ever be the same? Well, I've pulled this chair out for them so they can have a seat.
Saul and his captor Haqqani debated world religions. Carrie's bipolar meds were switched out by Prof. Boyd and Tasleem which drove her completely around the bend. All the way around. She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes? She came around that mountain. Wow, was she tapped.
Before I begin with my last recap for season 4 (*sob*), I'd like to give some shout-outs. Firstly, thanks to Starpulse for letting me write these inane recaps. Thanks to the three of you who read these recaps (especially my girls Erin and Suzie) and the ones who Tweet with me every Sunday night.
This isn't even hyperbole - is melting my face off. My face is currently oozing on the floor in front of my couch. That's some pleasant imagery, eh? The show is that good this season. It's a little less talky, and a little more feminist 24 but that isn't a bad thing.
You've heard of comfort food, but comfort movies? They're the movies you watch when you're home alone and sad, or hungover from the night before and need something stomach settling, or maybe they're on TV, one of your favorites, and there's no way you're changing the channel!
Well, MY 10 favorite characters from True Blood. I just needed my post title to sound definitive. My views aren't necessarily those of other Starpulsians but since I'm recapping Season 7 of , it's my say-so! I'm drunk with power. I'ts like I'm high on V or I'm Bill when he was Billith!
2% of the world's population has vanished and no one knows why. Hence, life has become very desolate and freaky for those left behind. Mapleton, CA police chief Kevin Garvey tries to hold the devastated town together while questioning his own sanity.
There's some burning questions to answer about the season premiere of . Is Carrie blonde or brunette? Did Quinn have to show off his penis again? Did Dana finally tie her goddamn laces? I kid. The real question is - does it look like Homeland will survive without its co-anti hero, Sgt.
The seventh and final season of True Blood premieres Sunday night (6/22) and it's the beginning of the end for plucky telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse ( Anna Paquin) and her merry band of dysfunctional supernaturals. True Blood is a perfect example of a show that started out wham-bam awesome right off the bat but then *sound of car crashing*.
HBO's The Leftovers premieres on June 29 and, if the Rapture hasn't stolen you away, advance word says that you should check it out. Based on the Tom Perotta novel and produced by Lost mastermind Damon Lindelof , it's the story of what happens AFTER the Rapture.
Hoyt and Jessica re-connected. Eric used Sarah Newlin to cure himself of Hep-V. Vampire Bill Compton inspired a Bon Temps-wide eyeroll when he refused to take the cure. Ah, it's the penultimate episode of this epic vampire saga.
If you're not watching BBC America's Orphan Black , then I hate you. I kid! Actually, you have my abject pity because it's pretty much the best show on TV. Ok, ok, I hear you Mad Men/Game of Thrones/Hannibal stans screaming at me.
Yep, it's over. HBO's very bloody action/drama/comedy/horror series is finally at rest, and you're free to walk the streets of Bon Temps unafraid once more. That's not actually true seeing as, in the universe, vampires, werewolves, shifters, witches, maeneads, and incredibly annoying fairies still live in the world.
October 14. A harried mother of a squalling newborn goes about her busy day at the laundromat, finishes up, and prepares to leave. Her kid is in his car seat, and then suddenly isn't. Sam's gone. So is the father of a little boy in the parking lot who is screaming for his daddy.
Previously - Violet imprisoned Wade and Adilyn. Pam, Eric, and the Yakua cornered Sarah Newlin. Sookie and Bill reunited and made love. Jason was hot. Crazy lady Sarah NEWLIN is cowering in her former cult compound when Eric Northman comes a'looking for her.
Bon Temps is a big ole' mess. Famished vampires dying of the Hep-V virus have kidnapped several of Bon Temps favorite citizens (and Sam's baby mama who isn't Luna) to eat. The remaining citizens have formed a lynch mob looking to roust or kill the supernatural Americans in their midst.
The second season of FX's Russian-spies-undercover-in-the-80s drama The Americans has come to a close. And what a season! I won't go into specific spoilers here but last night's finale revealed who killed Elizabeth (Keri Russell ) and Phillip's (Matthew Rhys ) fellow suburban spies way back in the premiere.
Well, that got things off to a rollicking start. Oh hai! This is the first True Blood Season 7 recap. Warm up your True Blood (you did stockpile some before the Hep V contamination, right?) in the microwave, have a seat, and allow me to fill you in on the salient points of this evening's goings-on in Bon Temps.
Aayan's dead, Saul's a human shield, and Carrie's cracking. SPOILER ALERT - the med switch this episode isn't going to help her with that. What's a classic and shifty way in modern literature and storytelling to get an enemy out of the way when you have to be all circumspect about it?
Previously - Sookie was the reluctant hostess of a "We Saved Arlene, Holly, That Drunk Broad & Sam's Baby Mama!" party. Jessica got over finding her boyfriend James and Lafayette boning in the back of their SUV by boning Jason. Eric caught up with Sarah Newlin. Bill discovered he's got Hep-V.
Previously - Jessica spilled the tea on Bill having the Hep-V to Sookie. Violet planned to use Adilyn and Wade to avenge Jason's betrayal. Sarah Newlin (aka "Newme") appears to be the cure for Hep-V. I feel like True Blood is winding down (or up) in a satisfactory fashion.
Previously - The good guys threw down with the Hep-Vs and rescued Arlene and the others. Pam reminisced with Eric about the founding of Fangtasia and how Ginger was more involved in it than we ever knew! Pam and Eric are having some issues with their pouty daughter Willa, who is NOT going with them to track down and kill Sarah Newlin.
A slew of Hep-V infected vamps attacked the 1st Annual Bon Temps Vampires/Humans Mixer. In a prime example of aiming for Yoko and hitting John, Tara was killed protecting Lettie Mae. Arlene, Holly, that drunk broad who hangs around in the background, and Sam's pregnant lady (they should totally name the baby Luna) were taken to Fangtasia to act as groceries.
On paper, Showtime's monster mash horror-drama Penny Dreadful sounded like a mess. Take the classic monsters of literature and the silver screen and throw em' in a televisual blender with the ever-squinty Josh Hartnett as the lead Press puree and stand way way back because the cheese is gonna' fly.
Previously on Dominion: Alex learned that Michael has a bloody past. Noma was revealed to be a higher angel. David finally ate his soup. Now THAT was a finale! "Beware Those Closest to You" better have been a season finale as opposed to a series one. Do you hear me, Syfy?!
Some of my favorite episodes of Law & Order: SVU are the ones with plots that have been RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES. (You have to put "ripped from the headlines" in caps to capture the drama.) SVU can take some of the facts of an actual case, pump up the drama and insanity, and voila, engaging television.
Did you see the movie Legion? It starred Paul Bettany as an angel trying to stop the end of the world and protect a hash-house waitress's unborn baby, who was supposed to become some sort of savior or [insert apocalyptic prophecy cliché here]. Spoiler alert - dude saved the baby, but the-end-of-the-world war still happened.
This week, Law & Order: SVU took on the infamous Ray Rice domestic violence case. It's an issue near and dear to the show's heart. Mariska Hargitay (aka our heroine, Sgt. Olivia Benson) heads up the Joyful Heart Foundation, an organization created to empower victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault.
"Pattern 17″ finds the pressure getting to our SVU team. Liv is torn between her high-pressure job and her foster son, Noah. Meanwhile, Rollins has to revisit her past in Atlanta, and it's obvious something very, very wrong went down between her and her former captain. Hi, Harry Hamlin!
NBC's Crossover Week has been epic, and not just because of this: But that was a big part of it. This week, Law & Order: SVU, C hicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. joined forces fighting a child-pornography ring in a three-part event. Yours truly will be handling the SVU recap.
Season 16 | Episode 10 | "Forgiving Rollins" | Aired Jan 7, 2015 "Save Benson" was the unofficial title of the season 14-to-season 15 arc that rejuvenated SVU . Olivia Benson (played by the iconic Mariska Hargitay) was brutally kidnapped and tortured by the psychotic William Lewis, was an unwilling witness to his suicide, and eventually triumphed over her PTSD.
Mix a tendency to be susceptible to ghost stories with incipient psychotic conditions and you've got a recipe for creepy kid in a stab-happy disaster. Perry and Mia are besties, with Mia's little sis, Zoe, tagging along as their occasional punching bag. It's post-Halloween, and they obviously haven't seen The Blair Witch Project.
"Pattern 17″ finds the pressure getting to our SVU team. Liv is torn between her high-pressure job and her foster son, Noah. Meanwhile, Rollins has to revisit her past in Atlanta, and it's obvious something very, very wrong went down between her and her former captain. Hi, Harry Hamlin!
Tonight, NBC is taking its most popular dramas and making two epic nights of television. This week's episodes of Law & Order: SVU, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. will form a three-part story with the franchises' beloved characters crossing into each other's shows.
Season 1 | Episode 3 | "Broken Places" | Aired July 3, 2014 Previously: One of Gabriel's minion angels was able to infiltrate the House Reisen and nearly killed Claire and the jaundiced orphan until Alex fought her off. Gabriel taunted Michael with his possibly being out of job now that Alex has been revealed as the Chosen One.
The formerly popular young actress-turned-staggering mess is the bread and butter of gossip sites and checkout-line rags. They collect drunk-driving arrests, limousine crotch shots, and photo ops in front of courthouses like accessories. We, the public, roll our eyes, proclaim them a "hot mess," and make GIFs out of them to amuse our followers.
We're heading into the fall TV season, and it's the perfect time to pause and reflect on your TV viewing habits. Have you ever had to fake that you watch a watercooler TV show because you didn't want to seem out of the pop-culture loop?
Previously: Alex decided to embrace his destiny as the Chosen One. David murdered tiny, pale Bixby in cold blood. DUDE MURDERED AN ORPHAN. There's not a lot of coming back from that one. This week's is all about relationships falling apart and the fallout that ensues.
Previously: Claire was forced to euthanize her mom and Willy Whele turned the tables on David. Did anyone else feel like this after last week's episode? Me too. Michael alights, all Creed hair, amongst zombieloads of dead bodies in 1900 B.C. He tells the single survivor (a young boy) not to be afraid.
Previously - Our setting is the city of Vega, built on the post-apocalyptic angel war ruins of Las Vegas. Archangel Michael protects the humans of Vega. Archangel Gabriel lives in a mountain in Denver and plots to exterminate the non-winged so God will come back.
Can you believe it's the 16TH SEASON of Law & Order: SVU? Sergeant Olivia Benson & Co. have been investigating and avenging the ickiest of crimes for 16 years! That's a lot of icky!
