I hope Elliot Stabler meets someone in Arizona. I hope he brings the woman back to NY, and I hope Jellivia emerges, because the Captain seems to think she’s got all the time in the world. Send him off to the west coast baby girl, shirtless in the desert sun…let’s see how that works out.
These intense, guttural piss fights used to work for them, sure... back when Elliot was there every week and they had time to work on their relationship and evolve towards something.
Now, 27 years later, this formula simply doesn't work.
I wish they would either just do it already – either move towards what they both want and deserve, or simply move away.
It would be so much fairer to their story and legacy than whatever the hell this is.
In Brazil we even have a saying for it.
@earlsofrisk We should all tip in to buy her a pretty pink notepad where she can write down ALL THE FUCKING PLOT POINTS so maybe THEN she can fucking remember them
It's like they're calling us stupid every single week. Like we don't know what good storytelling really is. And can I be honest? Nothing they seem to bring to the table has brought these character's as much justice as ANY piece of media this fandom has the ability to produce.
Look, I really appreciate some of you trying to keep the optimism here. But let's be real - this is simply BAD writing.
They're inconsistent with their timelines, characters motivations and anything related to their personal lives.
Olivia has a son she never sees, a background story that's never brought up, a 27-year situation-ship that looks more and more, every day, like a merry-go-round. The problems are always the same, the resolutions bring no resolution whatsoever.
