Law & Order SVU "Gambler's Fallacy" Episode Discussion

learned:

* you know why i really liked this episode? it reminded me of old-skool Law & Order, the original series, the mothership. hell, this could have been a season 1 episode of the mothership. it was just a good ol' cracking tale full of good guys and bad guys, and we the audience were sorting them all out along the way. what a ride!

* Donal Logue does an Irish accent! wait...Donal...Logue...oh, yeah, nevermind.

* ---as you can see, no wire-tapping device in her bra.
---i told you, now can i have my blouse back? stop staring at my tits!
---oh, sorry.

* i'm a pretty savvy tv-watcher by now, i've seen it all ten times over, and yet i just love how the principles were introduced here, the twisty way you think at first that Donal's character is the boss and the Ivy League black woman is his stooge, not the other way around. and then the dude who runs the art gallery is the head head guy, and then that happens, and you look back at certain scenes differently after the big reveals at the end. all the tweests. M. Night would be proud.

* "no blowjob, just undercover information. hold up, you were game for anal?.........sorry, i spaced there for a moment....*sigh*, no, nothing like that, just UC info..."

* "may the road rise to meet you, instead of you constantly being on the ground unnoticed and paved over..."

* ---i would have transferred you today.
---that's reasonable.
---man, that is such a power trip! wow.
---feels good, huh? better than sex. one day i hope to achieve your rank so i can experience that.
---yeah, i mean, the power is intoxicating. heehee. well, anyway, you're dismissed.
---haha, yeah, bye.
