So, what ever happened to this thing?

It's in the thread title. It doesn't air until Feb 11th.

 

[DannyDanger]

Lol, wut da fuck!

Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who stopped watching SVU after Stabler left.

Lord.... have mercy

 

[IndoAssassin]

First sneak peek clip / episode footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6I1VQTkrCU

There's doxxing, swatting, rape and death threats, Sony hack references, everything. Lol.

WTF is a Poonjabi? LOL I just.. Way to teach your viewers the wrong way to say the word.

 

[Easy_D]

Punjabi is not a surname. There is no such thing.

Makes me wonder whether they saw some of the tweets calling Anita a "paki" and went all "India's next to Pakistan! Let's give our 100% fictional character the surname Punjabi!"

Lol all they had to do was google for a last name. The worst part is though they didn't even bother to try and pronounce it right.

 

[John Kowalski]

Hum. Looks ok i guess?

THAT SONY HACK REFERENCE. LOL

 

[afternoon delight]

They tried going after Dick Wolf, but kept finding things about Penny Arcade.

Jim jam you da man/woman. (I'm not sure)

 

[17 Seconds]

Can anyobdy post some of other good SVU episodes that are based on real events? Atrocious crime dramas are a big time guilty pleasure and I think SVU is still on Netflix.

I hadn't noticed the thread title, must've changed or I may have air in my head.

Someone who works on the show was texting me pics of the script a couple weeks ago when they were filming and it looks pretty terrible. My favorite is instead of the Zoe Quinnita Sarkeesian type character sparking the whole movement with the Five Guys Burgers and Fries thing, she has sex with with one guy who's her publisher... And also her fiancé.

They also turn to Ice-T as the resident gaming expert.

 

[Toa TAK]

I used to watch this show when I was a kid.

Where did all the Meloni go?

 

[Welfare]

Left a while ago

 

[Toa TAK]

Left a while ago

Makes me sad. I went to school with his nephew, I feel like I should've gotten an update since he was my favorite dude on the show.

 

[El-Pistolero]

needs more tag team hacking

Producers-Directors have no shame, really...

 

[Easy_D]

THAT SONY HACK REFERENCE. LOL

I just realised that this kind of proves that the writers are very well aware of gaming in general and just trolls the shit out of gamers whenever they get the chance.

 

[El-Pistolero]

Reminds me that one show where they tried to beat Prince of Persia to unlock some hackers files, and the Detective was talking about how he could do it because he still had his star wars costume in his mom's basement etc. And then as he's playing, they cut to some girl who's like pretending to play the game with an imaginary controller and they give it to her and she easily beats the game. So cringe worthy though. Does anyone remember the show?

Let's see how they portray this episode though. Haven't really kept up with the GamerGate news beyond how the early days of how it started. Is it still relevant or no? They shouldn't try and portray both sides as equal either. That's the biggest problem. People pretend both sides have equal say. GamerGate is largely harassment for the women in gaming. There is no redeeming quality to the GamerGate movement no matter how deluded they think they are, or that they're saving games journalism.

The show you have in mind is Life. And that episode is by a good margin the worst of them all...

 

[Htown]

I wonder if the hoop earrings are intentional.

it's SVU, of course they are.

this is kind of amazing

 

[Corgi]

never seen svu, but is it the 'csi miami' of law and order? I remember law and order being a bit more serious about stuff.

 

[Facism]

All i heard was "Random Poonjabi."

What the fuck.

[edit]ok 30 seconds later someone with a good voice says her name again thank god.

 

[silvermember]

Producers-Directors have no shame, really...

Why would they know or care. The ones who would care are the ones who are not watching the show.

it seems writers intentionally do this just for laughs, if reddit is to be believed.

 

[DrForester]

Surprised they didn't go full on stereotypical female nerd for the victim.

never seen svu, but is it the 'csi miami' of law and order? I remember law and order being a bit more serious about stuff.

SVU is generally pretty somber with it's presentation. They don't go for many moments of levity like NCIS or CSI.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

They're gonna be really excited when the twist is that NotAnita sent the threats to herself to drum up publicity. Or her business partner did it.

Oh no. This is going to be really bad.

 

[wildfire]

perfect.

hope they portray gamergaters as weird misognystic manchildren!

I just hope they don't portray most male gamers as gamergaters since many of us have been pushing back on this bullshit culture from day 1.

 

[wildfire]

Just saw the commercial for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XW1OefvEW0

"I won't make the same mistake Sony made. I would rather be called a bitch than a coward."


Would be better if this was the correct Sony division. Wow.

 

[User 479360]

I saw the TV spot tonight, and almost burst out laughing at how cheesy it looked. It reminded me of something from 2001-2003.

 

[Ozium]

tonight is going to be fun

 

[Toa TAK]

Can't wait to watch SVU again.

 

[Carcetti]

They're gonna be really excited when the twist is that NotAnita sent the threats to herself to drum up publicity. Or her business partner did it.

If anything is to be learned from the SVU, the plot turns out to have the worst possible result for humanity at large... so that sounds like the probable plan. In the trailers when they introduced "Anita's" SO and business partner it sounded immediately suspicious as hell. Why even have him there if he's not set up for baddie part?

 

[DrForester]

I miss Stabler...

 

[SenorArdilla]

Oh. It's going to be one of "those" episodes, isn't it.

 

[vatstep]

Oh. It's going to be one of "those" episodes, isn't it.

And it will be glorious.

 

[Ozium]

anyone know when they usually put the shows up on nbc.com?

 

[SystemUser]

anyone know when they usually put the shows up on nbc.com?

I am not sure, but most networks put their stuff online the next day.

 

[DrForester]

Wait, Cragen and Munch are gone...

What's the point? I never found Oliva all that interesting on her own.

 

[vatstep]

It's on.

Wait, Cragen and Munch are gone...

What's the point? I never found Oliva all that interesting on her own.

NBC has nothing left, so they're just holding onto mere threads at this point.

 

[CragMan241]

Wait, Cragen and Munch are gone...

Mariska and Ice-T have gotta eat.

4 minutes into this episode, and I already hate it. A new record for L&O SVU.

 

[Northeastmonk]

What a shame. I seem to not have cable where I reside at the moment. Please provide intricate details.

 

[vatstep]

"They leveled up"

Oh... my... god.

 

[MechaX]

Not even 5 minutes into the episode.

"A female gamer!"

"We don't want you here!"

This... is not going to be good.

 

[RageWaffles]

Wait, Cragen and Munch are gone...

What's the point? I never found Oliva all that interesting on her own.

Olivia is and has always been the most interesting character to me.

I hope I didn't just hear the show right:
"What happened?"
"They leveled up."

/facepalm

 

[Htown]

So uh this character just got sexually assaulted in a bathroom and the female cop goes to help her and she's like

"these guys just can't stand women in gaming."
"what did they do to you?"
(touching bloodstained mouth) "they leveled up..."

ARE YOU SERIOUS

 

[shink]

Cringe

 

[MechaX]

"they leveled up"

NINJA PLEASE

 

[Northeastmonk]

Cringe

What kind of feeling are you getting?

Lmao. Good ole SVU.

Nooo Cragen and Munch were amazing

What the fuck? I watch law & order every now and then and was thinking about catching this episode, but now I'm definitely not going to bother. Ugh...

Total FAL's!
