I hate when I watch a TV show and have no idea what's going on. I turned on Law and Order: SVU last week and couldn't figure out why Detectives Benson and Stabler weren't partnered together. It was awful... both that I had no idea what was going on and that they weren't partners. They're supposed to be partners!
My only option was to email my awesome ex-intern Adam and beg him to fill me in. Adam keeps up with SVU and also reads all sorts of bizarre fantasy books involving magic, wizards, and sacrificing innocent animals. I made that last one up. I received a full recap from Adam today in which he relayed the tension between the two detectives, using phrases like "their emotions kept getting in the way," and explained that Mariska Hargitay (Benson) is on maternity leave but will be back. He even referred me to the SVU Wikipedia page which has EVERY single detail known to man about the show.
I knew I could count on Adam. Even months after he stopped being my intern, he continues to be very useful. I'm glad I have him in my portfolio of contacts. I never know when I'll need a C# programmer or an SVU recap.
I tend to delete links on my website of those blogs who fail to update after a week ... I make an exception with Kim ... but even she posted something on her site recently ...

Posted by: Adam at October 24, 2006 03:04 PMI'm not sure if I like the term "SVU". Special Victims Unit? What makes these victims any different than other victims? I thought we wanted to give each victim equal treatment, but no we have to give these people "special" status.
Equal rights for Victims!
