> [@want2know](#): > > As for Munch, it doesn’t get any better than the ep when they extradite the serial killer from Canada. As they take him into custody, Munch looks him dead in the eye and says, “Welcome to the United States!” I agree. That’s probably my favourite episode. Especially the way they finally extradite the bastard from Canada. Alex Cabot tells them they need to let the US have him, because he will just kill again. The murderer’s lawyer says he prefers not to speculate on possible future events. He also reminds the magistrate that Canada does not extradite on crimes that would result in the death penalty (and since it was murder with special circumstances, it was death penalty.) Cabot then says they are not extraditing on murder charges, only on grand theft auto charges. The lawyer says they will just arrest him for the murders when he crosses the border. The magistrate then says, “I prefer not to speculate on possible future events.” ---

I wish Stabler would hurry up and get divorced. What I always liked about the L&O series (serieses?) was that there was a minimum, if not complete absence, of soap-operaish personal lives. L&O SUV changed that, and they changed it in the worse way - a whiny wife and four, FOUR! bratty daughters. Everytime they’re on screen I just want to slap them all. And I hear ya on the ever-decreasing Munch and Tute. ---

> [@lorinada](#): > > L&O SUV changed that, and they changed it in the worse way - a whiny wife and four, FOUR! bratty daughters. Everytime they’re on screen I just want to slap them all. Actually, two bratty daughters, and two bratty twin boys. But I agree. More beat downs on child molesters, less family crap. ---

> [@bouv](#): > > Actually, two bratty daughters, and two bratty twin boys. But I agree. More beat downs on child molesters, less family crap. Actually, three daughters, Maureen, Kathleen (after their mother, Kathy), and Elizabeth, the other twin. The twins were a boy and a girl. The son was named Dickie in honor of series creator, Dick Wolf. ---

> [@fusoya](#): > > Well, actually, there were [sub]_cough_ Crime & Punishment _cough_[/sub] five. That one was a “reality” show, though, featuring real-life lawyers in real courts trying real cases. It would’ve been kind of funny to see the actress testifying: Witness: Well, I don’t have any _actual_ credentials as a medical examiner, but I’m an expert on jargon. The victim suffered a subdural hematoma from a blunt-force cranial trauma, with a secondary COD being a pulmonary edema. Prosecutor: Fine, but the defendant is on trial for littering. ---

> [@BiblioCat](#): > > Munch used to hit on the red-haired medical examiner quite a bit - I forget her name, but I think she’s been on all three varieties of _L&O_. Didn’t Jerry Orbach make a passing remark about lipstick in front of her on one of the **L&O:Original Recipe** episodes? She kind of gave him a look like she was humoring his corny attempt. One thing they got absolutely right in one of the home scenes with Stabler and Wife: He was undressing from his regular suit and crisp white oversized-for-his-muscles shirt (my attention was relatively rapt and I waited to see what they would show) and he had on purple briefs. And I thought, yeah, that’s about what that guy would wear for skivvies. Ah, now I understand why they picked such a hideous name as Dickie. P.S. Chris Noth coming next season to \*\*L&O: Vincent D’Onofrio Edition \*\* !?! Squee!! ---

> [@Leviosaurus](#): > > I’m amazed you guys can keep them all straight. I watch the show and enjoy it, but I’ve always remembered their names as: > > **Ice-T > Richard Belzer > Gruff Cop Guy > Hot Detective chick > Hot DA chick > Police Chief Guy** > > I assume you’re talking about **Hot Detective Chick** hooking up with **Gruff Cop Guy**? Not only do I think of his name as “Ice-T,” I also have this vague belief that it’s Ice-T playing himself, so that when victims talk to him, I always wonder if they think it’s odd that Ice-T showed up at the crime scene. Kinda like “Hey, it’s cool that Ice-T is here and expressing concern and interest, but wouldn’t it be better if I talked to a detective as well?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/l-o-svu-question/319375.md?page=1)
