I've waxed poetic about this scene on Twitter, but I figured I'd do it here, too!

(Screenshots are my own, gifs are from here, by the lovely Dana)

I'm gonna quickly preface this by saying that I have zero idea if Zillace will be more than friends this season or beyond. They're my #1 ship right now, but either way, I just can't articulate enough how much I love this moment.

Katherine talked here about how when she and Zeeko play these kinds of scenes, their own experiences as the two POC leads on the show informs it. And I love that, because it's so apparent in the way that Tiff and OA interact.

This isn't an anti-Maggie or anti-Scola post, but their dismissal of OA taking offense to the suspect being assumed Middle-Eastern ticked me off. But, even with that, I noticed this:

First, OA is just...incredibly annoyed, which is super valid.

But even while that's happening, you know who's focused on him? Tiff. It's like they're having a silent conversation, with the real one to come minutes later once they get in the house.

Even as Maggie walks ahead, they're maintaining that eye contact. If you watch the scene in real time, it reminds me a lot of 5x04, when OA snapped at the agent who made a (distasteful) "joke" about the case. Then and here, Tiff was essentially laser-focused on OA the entire time, non-verbally seeing if he's good (and in the case of 5x04, both verbally and physically).

Which makes the 6x01 scene all the more special.

It's so short—honestly, if you blink or were looking at your phone, you might miss it. But Tiff opens up the door once she and OA are near each other and out of earshot from their partners—"So much for the guy being Middle-Eastern."

Look at OA's expression here. It's almost like he's bracing himself, the way his sentence trails off. Not that Tiff would say anything remotely like the SWAT leader, Maggie, or Scola did—but to me, it just looks like he's a guy who's tired of the assumptions and treads lightly sometimes when things like this happen.

Alright, so let's break this down. Tiff's response is immediate—yeah, I know. Because she does. Yes, she and OA look different, but they've each had to see up close and personal what having skin color like theirs means in situations like this. You're always a target. A suspect. Even if you didn't do anything.

The little shake of her head as she looks back down—sort of like, "it's a shame" type of thing.

But, then the "trust me" is what gets me. Because (first of all, Tiff, he does, with his life) she's seeing the opposite side of it: how Black people are often accused without warning just because of what we look like. And it's there—the innate understanding that she's communicating with him in that moment. She knows that after what happened outside, he's seeking reassurance that he's not overreacting, that he has a right to be annoyed, and with five words, Tiffany told him, you weren't wrong.

And OA freaking sighs after she says it. You can see it in his face, the relief at the fact that she gets it. Gets him. In five words, Tiffany understands. Perhaps more than anyone ever has.

Y'all see his eyes? The way they flit over her face for a second or two—relishing the fact that, okay, this is someone I don't have to tiptoe around. I can say exactly how I feel and know they won't judge me or have some preconceived notion. They listen, they hear me, and they don't try to understand. They simply do.

This has already gotten way too long, but I'm so serious when I say that OA and Tiffany have the most unique dynamic on FBI. There's so much depth and realness, a shared life perspective, and if you see them like I do, tons of chemistry as well. I really hope S6 furthers their bond, because it's so near and dear to my heart.

Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk! :)

Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney at On Call Ultimate Crossover Event Protest at FOX in LA ( July 20th, 2023) x

There has been a running joke in Hollywood of fans mixing up Dylan and Dermot. Which actor is which. I love that these two played on that at the start of this clip.

[sylvies-chen]

listen it’s been a while since I’ve really flexed my procedural drama muscles and I’ve been out of touch with the dick wolf universe but I am being very serious when I say I want everyone tonight to either use your critical thinking skills to watch this latest episode of law & order and observe the writing decisions or else to not watch it at all.

I say this after having seen it and the completely biased way in which they portray the war in gaza. the writers made active and telling choices. they chose to make the professor in support of palestine a child groomer and brainwasher. that all palestine supporters are planting antisemitic ideas into the minds of children. they are not. (see: my current professor who vehemently supports palestine and is jewish, working for an organization of jewish people asking zionists to not commit these acts in the name of judaism.) they write that palestinian supporters condone murder and violence. they do not. the show positions antisemitism as the epicentre of the war. it is not. this war is not about religious views or antisemitism. it is about a decades long land occupation. it is about mass genocide and apartheid and forced displacement.

what was especially interesting was the arab actress character in the episode who was essentially a vapid pain in their ass by using her platform to “spew hateful nonsense” when in real life this would never happen. in fact, actors and celebrities who are supporting palestine are being fired from major projects and cut from their agencies.

so please keep an open mind and be extremely critical of the way they choose to portray each side in this episode. media representation has always been skewed in many ways. just be mindful.

Jesse joining FBI: International is a win for me. I’m so excited.

Genuine question here

Wolf Entertainment does know that there are ways to write a character's absence without destroying the characters morals and development, right?

[karihighman]

JLS IS COMING BACK TO TV IN THE WOLF UNIVERSE (just not to PD & not as Halstead!) and how great are Tracy & LaRoyce’s comments?! The sweetest cast mates they are!

[thesimpletype]

Apparently, Wolf entertainment really enjoys recycling their actors especially in the One Chicago universe. Lol, I’m on 7x1 and Benjamin Levy Aguilar briefly just showed up as Franco Chavaro a suspect to the murder of newly elected mayor Kelton. Then, he shows up later in season 9 as Dante Torres a cop finishing up in the academy, then becomes a part of the intelligence unit. We’re expected to pretend like it never happened 😂

This has also happened to many other characters too. I honestly find it hilarious. Comment some others you may have recognized too!

[stefanmikaleson1864]

Wolf Entertainment seems like it’s highly toxic and shitty firing someone severely episodes in because they seem to young AFTER announcing her casting and filming is Insane to me my heart breaks for her

Law & Order: SVU "Tunnel Blind" -- An Excellent Landmark Start

"Tunnel Blind" (written by: David Graziano and Julie Martin / Directed by: Norberto Barba) I don't even know where to directly start with this so I'm just going to jump in and start with; thus far, this was the best episode written under David Graziano's direction since before Kelli Giddish's departing episode last season, if not the best in total. I hope over the hiatus during the writers' strike that Graziano and the writers room sat down and redirected their focus because the S25 premiere was a great first opener and the preview for next weeks episode looks like it's pretty high octane.

They really captured everything that is SVU from start to finish, it had a feel like we took a brief step back into season 22, just without Rollins/Kelli, sadly. I'm going to start with the story but then work on the rest of the episode. So as Carisi and Rollins (Peter Scanavino and special guest star Kelli Giddish) celebrate the Baptisim of their newborn son, Nicky (could he be Dominick Carisi III?), the case this week in concerning a girl named Maddie, who was abducted from a store and Benson (Mariska Hargitay) sees the abducted girl at a traffic light. The case goes full steam during the investigation in hopes of trying to find Maddie Flynn before it's too late but then it's later discovered that she was abducted for another reason, where the perpetrator needs her to stay alive, at least for now. Olivia blames herself for not following her abductor in traffic, the squad continuously telling her it's not her fault, nor did she have probable cause to pull over the van in question.

It's a nice twisty case that goes in many different directions as the SVU squad basically 'rounds up the usual suspects' until the squad hits a dead-end. Benson reaches out yet again to Professor Amanda Rollins for help with the case, as well as for some personal insight - something Benson has done with Rollins increasingly over the last decade. Rollins clearly still wishes she was working SVU cases, even so as making the slip in saying they would find "our perp," which Benson promptly calls her out in feigning shock for her saying. As Benson leaves to go pursue the new track you can see that Rollins is somber but also in thought as her next round of students come in.

Fast forward as they think they're on track to find Maddie Flynn and their perp in New Jersey, they joined forces with a detective there from the Bergen County Prosecutors Office, Sloane Parrish (who is portrayed by, Amber Skye Noyes, who portrayed Roxie in "Townhouse Incident" back in season 17), after they find and rescue another victim, Tanya Garcia, who was left drowning in a bathtub in a seedy motel room OD'ing on fentanyl by their perp, George, from Canada. Chief McGrath (Terry Serpico) shows up at the squad, happy they found a different victim who had been missing for more than a year, and says NYPD needed to hold a press conference. Maddie's mother Eileen shows up at the press conference, distraught that her daughter hadn't been found while NYPD was holding a press conference, Benson assures her that she is still working Maddie's case, but it doesn't help as Eileen's husband has to pull her away.

Olivia Benson's voiceover: "It's moments like these that remind me of the oath I took, to protect the innocent. This is not a solitary act… but more of a life long commitment. I'm honored to wear the badge, but my duty doesn't end when a case is closed. They all stay with you, whether innocence is saved or lost. My goal is for the world to be measured by how safe it is for the innocent. And after all these years, I've come to accept that maybe it's not possible. But I still have a duty to hope."

So again this episode feels like SVU again, that went missing last season, I was on edge during the episode and I haven't been in that feeling in a long while. Everyone in the cast brought everything they had, but there is one thing that is missing and it's clearly Amanda Rollins/Kelli Giddish. It feels like the writers are trying to lead us to something with her, it feels like she'll be back again [permanently?] real-soon. Even the cast gathered during the opening credits just seemed to still lack something, that something is her. If we are getting a Rollins' return story, I'm very curious to see how it plays out with her and Carisi, like does he even know she's not fully happy teaching? And if he does know, is he going to acknowledge it? Is she to him? Questions I'm sure that will be answered as the course of the season goes on. But Kelli's permanent return would certainly right a terrible wrong that never should have happened.

Meanwhile Benson's love life: I'm of the opinion of ICE T and Dr. Lindstrom (Bill Irwin), can Benson and Stabler either do something or move on? Seriously though. "Will they/won't they?" is tired and there have been some major flops [in my view], in attempts to make something happen ("the letter"/"The Christmas Episode"/Bronx trilogy/compass necklace). I'm not a Benson-Stabler/EO shipper personally, but if this is going to be a thing or is on the road to it, the road is STILL under a lot of construction, on both shows. Benson and Stabler have not had a serious conversation with themselves about where they stand, what they feel, and for Benson, what all she endured while he was gone. Absent that happening, if they pursue a relationship of any kind (physical or otherwise), without any of the aforementioned, that's basically ignoring over a decade worth of history that Organized Crime doesn't seem to even acknowledge when it comes to Benson. I felt cringe watching the opening scene where Benson is discussing her necklace with Carisi's cousin Steve (guest star Hamish Allan-Headley). This is my opinion but, before this can be something, there's a lot more that needs to happen.

It's Valentines Day💕🥰

[imjustwritingg]

this is our last happy holidays from Tracy on the set of PD 🥺

[sabrinajenre96]

I watched law and order only the original one, I also watched SVU and organized crime which I enjoyed very much only those two.

What I didn't expect was how politically low they went with the first episode especially bringing up a very sensitive conflict till now is on route and it's sensitive for a lot of people. Maybe because I am apolitical so for me it didn't sit right especially when this conflict has raised islamophobia and antisemitism all together and unfortunately especially in the USA there were cases where 3 guys got shot and one of them is on a freaking wheelchair for the rest of his life because of a hate crime and a 6 years old boy died in the worst possible way and his mother being victim too. Honestly I didn't expect dick Wolf to do this especially when for some people no matter if you are Jewish or Muslim or christian and Arab ect the wound is still fresh, I had hard time to watch that episode that I don't even know how I was able to watch it. They could've stayed away from that all together. I am human above all and I know that law and order had political things in it but I thought dick wolf and his screen writer would have common sense and leave it alone for the moment ,if the goal was to paint that both sides are not perfect well they did a fucked up job. I don't agree with their episode. Honestly I don't understand what went through their minds at this point. We are trying to bring peace but it seems some people's values and morals nowadays went out of the window sometimes I question if I am the only one who I am still human with values of common sense, empathy and compassion, because if it's the case I am really worried about the future of everyone and the future generations.
