Ok so tell me if I& #39;m going insane or if I& #39;m missing something [a thread]. Also this may not make sense because I suck at formulating thoughts, but I& #39;m gonna try. Because I truly, truly, want to understand +
People keep saying that OC will flop without Mariska. They say that Olivia Benson allowing him back into his life is equivalent to some heinous (lol) things that I won& #39;t even repeat. +
Just a few things- 1) it makes perfect sense for Mariska to be involved in OC. Why would Elliot Stabler come back to New York to work on a police force and have ZERO interaction with Olivia? 2) If the show were truly going to flop without Mariska, why is it that I, and others, +
find ourselves actually enjoying the show as a standalone? Episode 3 was the first to not have Mariska, but, according to IMDB, had the same rating as episode 2. So yeah, people may be watching for the Benson/Stabler dynamic, but the show is seriously SO. GOOD. +
Like it would SUUUCK if Olivia actually told Elliot to fuck off and she never wants to see him again, but chances are, I& #39;d keep watching OC. Stop trying to downplay it because it actually is quite brilliant. +
Also.... and THIS is what makes me feel like I& #39;m going insane- people keep saying Mariska is forced into things... but like..... have they not seen the Chris/Mariska friendship? Like aren& #39;t they IRL BFFs? Because, based on what I& #39;ve seen, the answer is yes, so please+
tell me where it says I should believe otherwise. Ultimately, Mariska is the driving force of SVU, she knows what she wants, and she& #39;s not going to do things she doesn& #39;t want to do. If that means EO, cool. If that means O/Tucker& #39;s Ghost, I mean, okay if you& #39;re into that. +
Like I& #39;m constantly saying, at the end of the day, these are just TV shows. If you& #39;re taking it as seriously as some people are taking it (*ahem* referencing a certain comment on a different app)... you might want to get a hobby. +
Let people ship what they want. Let people want to see things happen. The writers know what they& #39;re doing. The actors have input. At this point, all the negativity is frustrating and, quite frankly, exhausting. +
And that is all. I& #39;m going to go back to making bracelets now.
