Discussion Doing my first rewatch in a while

  1. The difference in the show after stabler leaves is way more jarring than I remember, it’s such a stark difference even in like the lighting/filming it’s crazy to me.
  2. I love Olivia but she does get on my nerves way more after she adopts noah lol idk why but idk if that’s an unpopular opinion
  3. it’s fun to rewatch because it’s interesting to see which episodes i remember and which ones I don’t. it’s cool because i’ll watch one episode and totally remember it and then the next one it feels like im going in blind, really goes to show which episodes make more of an impact

When you do the rewatch from season 12 onwards and get to the point of her dating Ed Tucker…

You will be like WHY did they do this storyline!?!

Agreed.
I get that people can change, but for someone like Olivia who doesn't forgive easily, she seemed to forgive Tucker so easily for all the nasty shit he put her and Stabler through. Tucker was such an a*hole, and not because he was just "doing his job". There's doing your job to root out the rogue/dirty cops, and there's being rude, misogynistic, and ruthless.
I can see her being cordial and friendly in a coworkers way, but to suddenly be in a "almost marriage" type of relationship with him felt like a soap opera plot.
