So because we love cracking cases and all, Law & Order SVU is a must watch. Not as much as original L&O, but the show has had its moments. Unfortunately, it totally jumped the shark semi-recently with the airing of this episode, officially titled 'Wildlife".
On the upside, Big Boi is a guest star. On the downside (and to be honest, it's kind of hilarious), the episode centers around an exotic animal smuggling ring. Tons of stuff happens, and it's pretty boring, aside from the fact that Big Boi's character is a rapper named Gots Money. As his name implies, Gots Money is RICH and proves it by wearing a giant, bedazzled dollar sign necklace.Unfortunately for him, Gots Money missteps and pisses off some bigwigs in the animal smuggling world. They throw him into a rooom with a crazy hyena that literally eats him. Stabler cracks the case when he finds some hyena barf with Gots Money's giant diamond dollar sign necklace in it. I kid you not.
Since that point, SVU has been doing all sorts of ridiculous things. Like last week when Kathy Griffin guest starred as a lesbian activist named Babs Duffy. Despite the fact that she's a lesbian, she force kisses Stabler in the episode. It's just become too much. What happened to showing some good old fashioned police work?
Anyway, hopefully Dick Wolf reads this post and interprets it as an application for me to be head writer of Law & Order SVU. Thanks Dick. I'm totally available!
Dick--I'm available too! The Babs Duffy epi really put me over the top.
