Law and Order: SVU not giving a damn (SPOILERS)

lol

Chris Brown & Rihanna will never be able to escape the night he viciously beat her on the night of the 2009 Grammys. Four years later, that incident was the basis for this week’s ‘Law & Order: SVU’ — but did NBC do the story justice?

Chris Brown must always live with his violent past against Rihanna, which is now forever documented on the Feb. 27 episode of Law & Order: SVU. But rather than a straight re-telling of Chris and Rihanna’s story, the writers took things a little further, predicting what could happen if a “promising singer” were to stay with her “popular hip-hop star” boyfriend and remain silent when he acted out.

This episode...Collapse )



A couple of Comparisons from meCollapse )
SOURCE

I cried at the end of this episode :( At least Mariska was flawless, as usual. She wasn't playing any games in this episode.

And OMG at them killing the Jay Z type character. Poor fake Beyonce :(

I didn't find this episode sad at all. Idk. I mostly found it to be ridiculous, bizarre, and hilariously bad.

The situation depicted was in no way shape or form funny, but the execution was sooooo bad.

i think i would have appreciated this episode more if they focused on the human aspect of domestic violence, where you see those moments where you understand why the person stays with their abuser(although you obviously disagree with it). There was no love there at all, which was a mistake.

Had they included the ending along with actual perceived love, it would have been good. Instead, you have people going "that's not my man. He's nothing like that. He only hit me once. He loves me. He doesn't snap like that"

Terrible episode. Hilariously bad attempt that executing a story about a very serious issue across the globe.

I agree. It was too unrealistic.
plugmebaby 28th-Feb-2013 11:49 pm (UTC)
yesss i agree. it was so unrealistic of them to show misha and caleb smooching one minute, and then him hitting on the backup singer right after, and misha being all "what are you doing oops i mean jk baby you know im kidding!!" straight to the abuse. it's a lot more complicated than that.

I missed it! have to download it.

The other previews made it sound like Bris Crown was going to get killed off, but it was blatantly obvious that that clip of FakeRihanna singing as a kid only existed so it could come back as a dark reprise. (So did she write the hook to a hit song as a child and just sit on it for a decade?)

I thought it was weird that Chris Brown and Rihanna were mentioned by name. If those two actually exist in the SVU universe, are Caleb and Misha in-universe poor man's versions of them?

I think they were mentioned so the show could say, "See, this isn't ACTUALLY them, cuz we mentioned them, these are other people who happen to be kinda like them, don't sue us."
stellawuzadiver 28th-Feb-2013 06:34 pm (UTC)
I'm sure that was the reasoning, but the way they did it just made the story weirder.
svexsal 28th-Feb-2013 09:03 pm (UTC)
I completely missed that.
williammiller 1st-Mar-2013 05:36 am (UTC)
Right? The preview showed Ice-T going "he's dead!" and everyone thought it was the Chris Brown character. What a fake out.

my tv went out so i missed the episode >:(
astrologee 28th-Feb-2013 01:11 pm (UTC)
tried to watch it on ctv's website. god, svu has gotten so BAD. and this show as my shit in middle school, :c
oh7 28th-Feb-2013 01:18 pm (UTC)
I only caught the very last second of the show, and I saw a little light skin girl singing and I assumed that was suppose to be a younger version of fake Rihanna and Rihanna never sang that much in tune before. I only wanna see Wendy William's cameo in this episode lol.
oh7 28th-Feb-2013 01:20 pm (UTC)
LOL at anyone crying over this episode, though. As if SVU and NBC aren't trying to capitalize over those two's controversy and perhaps enforcing the somewhat morbid idea that their relationship is good publicity.
mondler_4ever 28th-Feb-2013 01:22 pm (UTC)
It was just a sad message that's all. I wish women who are in that type of situation had a moment of clarity and get the fuck out of there. But it isn't like that.

I was crying more at the message than the episode because the acting was terrible.
oh7 28th-Feb-2013 01:26 pm (UTC)
Yeah, that makes sense but I've read comments about this episode were people have written that NBC is shining a light on domestic violence and or trying to tell Rihanna to get out of that relationship. My more cynical view is NBC wants attention so it'll have higher ratings and get more money from advertisers.
ninainhouston 28th-Feb-2013 01:45 pm (UTC)
I liked it.

Oh and the chemistry between DA Barba and Benson - <3
ceilidh_ann 28th-Feb-2013 01:50 pm (UTC)
ADA Barba is basically the one reason I'm sticking with the Meloni free SVU episodes.
mondler_4ever 28th-Feb-2013 01:59 pm (UTC)
I love him so much. He looks like he'd show Olivia a good time. Danny Pino is kicking ass too.
anydoppelganger 1st-Mar-2013 04:25 am (UTC)
YASSS

SVU has always been pretty cheesy but the new episodes are even worse. But they're worth watching for the new ADA. He's douchey but entertaining.
gyuri 28th-Feb-2013 02:17 pm (UTC)
ADA Barba is the homie tbh.
breadprincess 1st-Mar-2013 02:58 am (UTC)
I love him, and I loved the bit at the end with the two of them all huddled together walking and drinking their coffee.
expromqueen 28th-Feb-2013 01:47 pm (UTC)
i don't watch svu anymore but i need to see this ep lol
