Some More Thoughts On Season 16 Of Law And Order SVU.

I love this scene between them, it’s really sweet and encapsulates their dynamic beautifully. She calls him Aaron, which hardly anyone else does ( Haley, Jess, Sean, I think and possibly Gideon and Rossi)!

I hate college/everything/people/everyone!

reblog and type ‘I miss’, ‘I love’ and ‘I hate’ in the tags and let your secrets be revealed!

How do you feel about Carisi calling Liv “Lou”? Personally, I love it and think it’s so sweet! It feels (to me) like a very Carisi way of showing respect. I don’t think anyone else calls her that (?), which feels right. It’s like mustache Carisi, he’s gonna do his own thing. 😂🫶

I haven’t noticed him calling her that, but it’s sweet, even though Lou is not a logical nickname for Olivia. Ah, perhaps it’s short for Lieutenant! He’s very big on calling people by their proper rank, which is another thing I love about him. It is very Carisi, it’s sweet and I am sure it comes from a place of love.

Ideas for Eli and Becky’s son’s name on Law and Order Organized Crime

Seeing as how we don’t yet have a name for Eli and Becky’s baby on Law and Order Organized Crime, and the next two episodes seem to be stand alones in which Nicky Torchia ( who plays Eli)  does not feature, it sounds like we might have to wait a little longer to find out what it is. I would be interested in hearing everyone’s ideas/suggestions.

I think they might use Elliot as a middle name, then maybe something Irish ( like Maureen and Carl’s boys, Killian/Kieran and Seámus), from the Bible or just a bit old fashioned/traditional. 

So maybe Aiden, Jonah/James/Nathaniel ( I think Noah Stabler sounds so good, but that is Olivia’s kid’s name) or Jack, Oliver, Sebastian… Not sure about S names as they could be a bit much with Stabler as a surname.

We know nothing about Becky’s family, but it seems like they aren’t supportive of her current choices but maybe that’s not the case and the name will be from her side of the family.

Of course, they could honour nobody and go for a modern name with a made up/illogical spelling, but I hope they don’t do that! 

Or maybe the upcoming episode will give us a name reveal, which would be great!

Criminal Minds rewatch Grrrr Rossi

I have currently started rewatching Criminal Minds, currently about halfway through Season 3.

Firstly, I was struck by how much more I understood Gideon’s character. He can sometimes be rude when he doesn’t introduce himself to the LEOs when the team arrives at the crime scene, it’s not great, but he is just intensely focused on getting started on solving the crime. However, he remains a team player, unlike Rossi, who has to be given a “there is no I in team” speech by Hotch. He also gets angry with Penelope and calls her stupid, which I didn’t think was a very good way to handle things, but Rossi getting all up in Penelope’s face and yelling at her to remember what happened in the episode bearing her name was just totally out of line! Both he and Gideon are equally bad at remembering her name and probably couldn’t pick her out of a line-up, however!  Gideon would also never have done what Rossi does to Morgan when Morgan quite clearly states he is not comfortable talking to the priest and Rossi states that he will be doing the interview. I couldn’t remember the scene very well ( I binge-watched and sometimes dozed off during eps in previous viewings) so thought maybe Rossi had explained afterwards he thought the priest might be more comfortable talking to Morgan rather than a rich, white guy like Ross, but no, just Rossi being disrespectful and not a team player!  I know there’s also the ep where Reid is injured ( gunshot wound to the knee, if I recall correctly) and Rossi sends Reid down the bank to investigate, because he has just bought new shoes made from Italian leather, as well as countless other moments where he is racist/sexist or just thoughtless! In Gideon’s last episodes, I felt quite emotional hearing his letter and genuinely actually missed him, this time!  So, to conclude, I would rather have kept Gideon and not have Rossi around! 

Names are hard!

Just planning out my Gotcha! post-S15 fic series and decided I wanted to write a little blurb for each character: job, location, and, if they have any more children, said children’s names. I have decided that Alex and James Blake foster/adopt some children, and I was really struggling to find a boy name, until I thought “Luke! Luke is a great name! No-one else on the show canonically has that na… Oh whoops, except Luke Alvez!” . In my defence, I haven’t seen anything past Season 11! I then decided on Matthew instead, again forgetting about Matt Simmons and also gave two baby girls the name Charlotte and realised I’d given two characters the same name, one as middle and one as first, but still! I obviously do not have much imagination and am evidently very attached to  certain names! 

Hey bros, baes, and nonbinary gays! If you don't have a mom (for whatever reason) I am your mom now. I was given the Mommy title in my group chat for a reason. I am mom. I will protect you. Do you need a hug? I will give you all the hugs. Do you want to show me something you made that you're proud of? I'll put it on the fridge. Do you need someone to talk to? Talk to me about everything. I am mom now.
