I've been catching up.. almost up to the current season, I hate to peak over at IMDB but I hope they had replaced Mariska Hargitay I did not like her in the new role as being captain at all.

And the Lewis guy breaking out of jail.. I just looked at the picture on Hulu and saw the caption.. I was like WTF not again?? just kill him off.

Benson's still the acting captain. Oh man, the Lewis thing got so tired.

I know, I mean I know it got good ratings but for all that crap to happen and he escaped? Seems too far fetched.

I was "forced" to watch the last SVU episode due to the crossover. It turned out to be really good. However just as it was mentioned before, I wish Benson would be somehow "phased out". This gives SVU a fresh start, it worked with the original Law & Order it should work too with SVU.

Someone mentioned Lewis, I don't know who this guy is but I think he was Benson's arch enemy. That particular loop made me stop watching the show. They just dragged it to unnecessary proportions.

the 2nd time they had lewis come back I was like ok.. but the 3rd.. was just just TOO MUCH, I was really going to skip it but just decided to watch anyways to see how stupid it was going to get.

Don't care too much about spoliers so I thought I'd peek. I've missed the past maybe 2 or 3 seasons, only watching here and there. I guess Benson's moving up. As for Lewis, I couldn't get through that episode, that's what killed it for me. Couldn't keep watching to catch up after that. But there's gonna be more

The 2 part episode with Willaim Lewis storyline was good but they stretched it out too much with having him return again.

Did Barba and Carisi appear much in the Law & Order: SVU part of this week's new three-part crossover, and did Warner (played by Tamara Tunie) and Carisi have much screentime in the Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. episodes respectively?

Chicago P.D's Lindsay and Halstead headed to New York City (Voight would join them later), as the investigation continued. Sorry to use a cliche, but the storyline got better as it went along. Even though there were too many scenes which weren't on location (this is normal with Law & Order: SVU these days), there were still a few scenes shot on location. Most of Lindsay's scenes were on a studio set, Halstead appeared in two on location scenes (day scene with Rollins and Halstead speaking to a female student, and a night scene by the river, where Rollins and Halstead located Lindsay's brother), and Voight appeared in two on location scenes (the first saw him and Benson go undercover as a married couple in a restaurant, and the latter was when he and Benson located the missing teenager).

The storyline kept your interest, and the ending was a good one which made you want to see how it would end (the suspect who was clutching the box of photographs, following the basement fire in the first part of the crossover was shot dead, along with the police officer who was standing outside his room at the hospital).

Chicago P.D. characters who appeared in this episode - Lindsay, Halstead, Voight
No Chicago Fire characters appeared in this episode.

Are the first two episodes of Law & Order: SVU's new season, starting on NBC on Wednesday 23rd September, a proper two-part story? Based on the promo (it's on You Tube) it's not going to be two separate episodes shown in a two-hour block, and is instead a proper two-part story. Noticed in the promo that

I seem to favor the older episodes of SVU with Elliot; show seemed to be missing something when he left the series. However, the new DA, Raul, just reminds me of one of those witty know-it-alls and he was the only thing that kept me interested in the newer episodes. Still haven't watched any with Benson as the captain, so I'm a couple of seasons behind by now.

Maybe renew Netflix to catch up? Last I knew they had just about every season on there.
