I am actually enjoying this new season of SVU a lot. Remember the story line where Benson was a guardian over that junkie's teenage son? Well, in tonight's episode, you see that they have remained in contact. So glad that loose end got tied up, because I was pretty angry it got dropped last season. I am probably in the minority over this new season, but I like these new characters, I wouldn't mind Stabler stopping in once in a blue moon, but to me it's feeling fresh again.
