Yeah it was. This thread is dated in October, which through me off. Like I said, he could have searched for the season 14 SVU thread.

Re: Law and Order: SVU -- Season 14 -- Wednesdays (NBC)

I moved this from a previous post. Didn't know there was a separate thread for SVU. This concerns the Scott Bakula episode from 11/14/12.

This is the first time I checked out the additional footage NBC promotes during the episodes. This brings "closure" not given in the episode as aired. The episode is titled "Vanity's Bonfire", but the deleted footage has its own title "Everything In Its Right Place":

And the entire episode is also available on line:

Sorry about that. I re-posted the information in the SVU Season 14 thread. Could mods please delete this one?

Re: Law and Order: SVU -- Season 14 -- Wednesdays (NBC)

Oops, I already merged the threads.

Synopsis:

IN THE SHOCKING SEASON FINALE, A MYSTERIOUS CRIMINAL SETS OFF A DANGEROUS CHAIN OF EVENTS. GUEST STARRING PABLO SCHREIBER AND LAUREN AMBROSE. After making a seemingly routine arrest of a man exposing himself in Central Park, Detective Rollins (Kelli Giddish) has a bad feeling about the suspect and calls upon the entire SVU squad and ADA Barba (Raul Esparza) to help. With no way to discover the suspect's true identity, he masterfully outplays them at every turn. A shocking theory comes to light, and as Barba's trial comes to a close, the situation rapidly escalates and Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is put into mortal danger. Also starring Ice-T (Detective Odafin Tutuola), Dann Florek (Captain Donald Cragen), Danny Pino (Detective Nick Amaro), Dean Winters (Brian Cassidy) and Tamara Tunie (M.E. Melinda Warner).

Re: Law and Order: SVU -- 2 Hour Season Finale -- "Her Negotiation" -- 5/22/13

Was this supposed to be 2 hours?

Re: Law and Order: SVU -- 2 Hour Season Finale -- "Her Negotiation" -- 5/22/13

Then why is it only 1 hour?

Oops, you're right. Chicago Fire is on at 10pm. Typo on my part.

I got this mixed up.

Wish it had been 2 hours!

Great ep, excellent writing and good to see Lauren Ambrose show off her 'subtle' and 'nuanced' acting skills.

Just when you think you've seen every possible storyline combination involving cops and juries and perps who know how to work the system, someone comes up with a new one that has me stumped.

No clue on what this guy's angle is or where this is going.

Benson has already had a 'raped' storyline back around Season 5 or 6 and was nearly raped again a few seasons back the season Elliott left but I suppose its easy to believe a detective as beautiful as her getting raped a few times in her career...

Re: Law and Order: SVU -- 2 Hour Season Finale -- "Her Negotiation" -- 5/22/13

I don't normally watch SVU but my wife does, and this episode really sucked me in. I'll probably stick around to see how it resolves next season, then continue to not watch it after that. Just not a fan of procedurals.

Created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," now in its 17th season, is the longest-running primetime drama currently on television. This hard-hitting and emotional series from NBC's "Law & Order" brand chronicles the life and crimes of the Special Victims Unit of the New York City Police Department, an elite squad of detectives who investigate sexually based crimes.

As acting commander of the SVU, Sergeant Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is a seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all. She leads with empathy and professionalism, all the while dealing with her difficult past as a product of rape, and her future as mother to a young child, both of which influence the way she relates to each victim in need of help.

Hargitay garnered eight Emmy nominations for Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Olivia Benson, and won the 2006 Emmy for that category. She has received six SAG nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series, two Golden Globe nominations for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, winning the award in 2005, and has won three Gracie Allen Awards for Outstanding Female Lead in 2004, 2009 and 2014. In 2013, she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (Ice T) adds a unique sense of humor and undercover investigative experience, making him a formidable match for any partner. Detective Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish) has earned her place as an integral part of the team while facing head-on the emotional toll it takes to work SVU, and Detective Dominick "Sonny" Carisi (Peter Scanavino) brings a fresh outlook and distinctive style of investigation to the squad. Assistant District Attorney Rafael Barba (Raúl Esparza) seeks justice for SVU's victims and survivors with precision and a passion to win.

"SVU" is frequently acknowledged for its guest players, with Emmy wins for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for Ann-Margret (2010), Ellen Burstyn (2009), Cynthia Nixon (2008), Leslie Caron (2007) and Amanda Plummer (2005), and nominations for such renowned talent as Brenda Blethyn, Carol Burnett, Robin Williams, Marcia Gay Harden, Angela Lansbury, Marlee Matlin, Mare Winningham, Barbara Barrie, Martha Plimpton, Jane Alexander and Tracy Pollan.

In 2015, "SVU" won the Imagen Foundation Award for Best Primetime Program, recognizing the positive portrayal of Latinos in media. The series was honored with the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Drama Series in 2012, along with Ice T for Outstanding Actor (2002) and Delroy Lindo for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama (2010). Fourteen episodes of "SVU" were nominated for the Prism Award and six have won, recognizing their accurate depiction of substance abuse and mental illness. Three episodes have been nominated by the GLAAD Media Awards for outstanding representation of the LGBT community, and the show was honored with 10 Edgar Allan Poe award nominations and two wins for Best Television episode.

The "Law & Order" brand has tremendous global appeal and to date, "SVU" has been sold to over 250 territories around the world.

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is a Wolf Films production in association with Universal Television. Dick Wolf is creator and executive producer; Warren Leight, Julie Martin, Jonathan Starch, Peter Jankowski and Arthur Forney are executive producers.
