"The Good Girl" Was Bad 'SVU'

                              That I am beginning, rather, have been, procrastinating so much on writing about 'SVU' for this blog, lately, indicates a losing interest I am having with the program.   No matter how much dramatic energy Kelli Giddish and Peter Scanavino inject into the proceedings, the inferior quality of the writing, and the sheer predictability of things has not been managed to be overcome.

                                 The first problem I had with "The Good Girl" was believing that guest star Eowyn Young, as Mackenzie Tolliver, was thirteen years old.  Come on, Central Casting, this is The Raving Queen--whom do you think you are kidding?  This girl is on the far side of her teens, believe me!  So, her plight was not as compelling had it been cast with a child that age.  I knew there was some hanky panky between the girl and her stepfather--isn't there always, here?  Let me say, this is one show where straight men never get a break.  Not with Olivia Benson/Mariska Hargitay running the show.  This castrating bitch wants to cut all men's penises down to size, and tries to do so every week--metaphorically speaking.

                                   I have a feeling this is why Philip Winchester, as Stone, is leaving.  Pity.

                                   Of course stepdaddy and stepdaughter were having sex.  Like, who did not  know that.  The big surprise was they were married--and Mackenzie was OK with that?????????  All right, maybe she was in the throes of Stockholm Syndrome, I concede that.

                                     But lying about the drama teacher, Quentin Dreyfus (J.D. Taylor) the, of course, gay drama teacher, who becomes the show's most expendable character, as he is murdered by Mackenzie's stepfather, Derek Cecil (a delightfully cowardly and arrogant Garrett Howard), and his murder goes unnoticed around everything else, even though his partner relates they were steps away from being married????????

                                        I accuse this episode of homophobia.  Why did it have to be a drama teacher?  Why, in the 'SVU' world, are all drama teachers gay?   Let me tell you, darlings, I have met plenty of straight people, teachers, and actors, in the theater, and they are just as talented as their gay counterparts.  Homosexuality is not a requirement to go into theater.  It is a reason.

Look at this photo!  It reveals why things are as they are, in the 'SVU' universe!   Because everything is from the Point Of View, or Gospel According To, Olivia Benson/Mariska Hargitay, who just cannot stop injecting herself into peoples' lives when they are unwanted, telling them how they should live their lives.  That last scene, when she is telling Mackenzie how to care for her baby, I wanted to rap Olivia in the teeth.  I cannot blame the writers, because they are probably just writing the dialogue, as ordered by Mariska.  Give it a break, lady, or otherwise someone is going to come along and slap you across the face!  Which would be refreshing!

I keep thinking with this behavior, the show will never make another season, yet it keeps doing so, in spite of, or because of, Mariska.  Her supporters are probably symbols of the dumbness of America; you know, the type who end up as litigants on "Judge Judy."

I have just one last thing to say to Olivia/Mariska!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady, fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
