I love SVU, I've always loved it. It's actually what got me interested and into Forensic Psychology (BD Wong, you rock!) and of course, it's set in NY.
When I heard Chris Meloni was leaving the show, I was really sad. Like....really sad. I'm not sure you can have Benson without Stabler- to quote twitter, "it's like kool-aid without the sugar...just ain't right!" Not sure exactly how SVU correlates to Kool-Aid, but I guess the metaphor works either way.
I watched the first episode of the new season- while I totally miss Stabler, I think they handled his exit very smoothly and gracefully. I also thought that Mariska Hartigay's job on that episode was WELL. DONE. You could feel Benson's pain, her confusion at Stabler's leaving without explanation or notice. Wouldn't lie, I cried when she did. I hope he guest-stars or at least shows his face on occasion, though I understand he wants to do other things, and I wish him the best of luck, as well as a warm welcome to the newsies on the show. Here's to a great season!
