Cail (sorry for misspelling yesterday): Yup. Last scene, Hargitay and Meloni's characters were taken to a remote spot, where Alex apologized for making them think she was dead. She said next week she'd be appearing on Guiding Light as a resurrected Reva, too. (Okay, I'm kidding on that last part.) But yeah, she's alive, just in hiding. (Never underestimate the twist, baby!)

I like Abby, because she has that raspy voice that I always wanted when I was younger, and sometimes still do. As for Jamie, she was a personal favorite. Especially because she came back a couple of times as the defense lawyer. GOOD conflict. Do you remember the episode when she called out Jill Hennessy on sleeping with Jack? Good stuff.

I'm all for killing Serena. She was only good in the episode when she did the Internet search of what Jack McCoy likes and a more recent episode where she's all flirty with an undercover gov't agent with the mob. I was thinking how, for me, the most interesting ADA has been Carey Lowell's Jamie Ross. She had a kid, she was divorced, she was a little older, she had really firm opinions. My second favorite ADA is Abby Carmichael (Angie Harmon) who was so rigid and tough that she made Jack seem like a pushover.

Are you serious? I wandered out of the room at the end of the episode to get a snack, figuring I'd miss nothing other than the "Da-DUNG" (trademarked L&O sound). You mean that Alex is alive?? Wow. I need to reevaluate some things now...

Thanks Ari...I was worried my first Gothamist comment would be met with a chorus of "Yeah, whatever you A&E-watching geek"!

Cail! Damned good call! I completely agree.

Not to be a HUGE L&O geek, but I think that Dick Wolf is probably going to revisit the episode/case where Alex was killed, so she could spend more time following around her boyfriend Bobby Flay.

Yeah... Bloomy would blend in far better on any Dr Suess set than on L&O. I mean, c'mon...

Killing off Serena? Not the Law-bot! Couldn't they could just update her syntax chip instead?

Is it just me, or does he bear a strong resemblance to the Grinch in that picture?
