SVU: S13 E10

This episode is about an actress being raped on stage.

I’m specifically going to pay attention to notes for what Amanda brings to the shows inner dialogue.

In this episode Amanda seems more on the side of the victim somehow. I’m not sure exactly why yet. Hmmm….

Okay so Liv is saying the defense of the people who did the rape because maybe it was a part of the show. Vs Amanda thinks they knew what they were doing and it was done with malice.

Personally what I love about SVU is the sort of arguments the story tellers are bringing to the audience.

So the judge that was there says he just fulfilled the fantasy of the actress he raped.

Oh as if it saves him- he’s playing around on the sugar babies. So this is ultimately about what if someone says they did a rape because the woman wanted the rape fantasy. This is interesting but we will see what the writers want us to take away from this.

So I’m not remembering the whole plot. But I do remember this episode was good. That’s why I started doing my version of live tweeting it.

They bring the gross emails the judge received to the rape victim. So it appears that the actress has had her identity stolen and put onto the sugar daddies.

Best part of the episode is the guy who is the parrot in Aladdin sitting with a young Adam driver playing a creepy dude whos put a bunch of cameras in this girls apartment. He and Asiago? Have a back and forth about the camera and motion activation which is absolutely wonderful. Then Adam driver produces footage of him rubbing his mother’s feet at the time of the attack.

Oh the director is a super creep. That’s whats up. Adam driver is luckily recording everything so that they have a ton of video evidence to show the audience.

Ohhhh the safe word of Dixie….

So where we are going is that the director

Oh Amanda asking Liv how she trusts men after all this.

Liv says she hasn’t given up hope. There are good men out there.

Ohhhh shit- the director is having the show incorporate the rape as a part of the show now and then gets hauled in to talk to him

Let me guess – he’s gonna dig his own hole by being dramatic and ignoring his lawyer for the drama

Oh classic narcissist. He’s immediately turning all this shit around so that the director is the victim of some random jealous person.

Oh and now the discussion about the thoughts of the issue. Love these bits. They work by helping walk the audience though the logical arguments of either side of the arguments.

WRITERS OF SVU: I see you. I appreciate what you have done for the world. I get it. I wish I could be a part of your group. *Cough* anyway….

So basically – do women who have/don’t have rape fantasies getting preyed upon by men tricked via the internet to do the crime – are they responsible for the rape committed or is the person who did the tricking responsible.

There definitely is a thing at this point in the show where I feel like the warning is disguised in a couple of levels of warning.

To women: don’t trust everyone referred to you by a person you decided to trust…. (Rough, but somewhere in a realistic defence)

To men: don’t trust everything on the internet

To ugly feeling women: doing things cause you hate the pretty/happy/lucky girl ain’t right.

So I’d say overall we have a “woman betrayed by a woman.”

Liv and Amanda have a bonding moment over the thesis of the episode and the credits roll.

Interesting, I’m curious to see how her plot line goes from here. I’d also point out she’s been on the show for a very long time. This is season 13 so like 10 years ago without me looking it up. How many of you peeps out there do the same job for ten years.

I don’t understand how people see these sorts of things as more than expected,” hey I want some change. “
