I don’t get basic crime procedurals. It’s the same basic story, week after week, but the main characters are charming enough to keep you watching? I guess I can get that but it doesn’t mean I understand it.
Anyway, apparently people were upset when Christopher Meloni left SVU and were worried that his costar Mariska Hargitay would be written off the show as well. As many told me after the news of Meloni’s departure, they were the only two reasons to watch the show. Now fans can rest a little easier; Hargitay will appear in every episode alongside the two new cast members Kelly Giddish and Danny Pino. Well, don’t rest too easy if your entire viewing pleasure comes from watching Hargitay. She only renewed her contract for a year, which seems to imply that she will gradually fade out of the show to be replaced by Giddish. So I don’t know whether to go with a big Yay here or an angry Boo, so I’ll just spaz out and pretend I meant to do that.
