Some Law & Order cases don't make sense
A Reddit thread started by u/cfinboston (https://www.reddit.com/r/LawAndOrder/comments/og65bw/biggestdumbest_plot_holes_on_lo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) brought attention to what they called the "biggest/dumbest plot holes" on "Law & Order." In the post, they focus on the "Criminal Intent" episode "Identity Crisis," which follows a wealthy con artist using the identities of dead Princeton University alumni.
The OP explains that this plot doesn't make sense because the alumni are commemorated on a visible plaque, and the man is targeting women who attended Princeton. "However none of them questions why they didn't already know him. None of their friends knew him. Despite the fact that he uses the names of dead men, nobody ever recognized the names he uses, despite their being on the wall of the dining club," they wrote.
They also mentioned the "SVU" episode "911," where a tech-savvy perpetrator seemingly forgets that he left his phone with the child he had kidnapped. Others chimed in to add glaring "Law & Order" plot holes, with u/gnorrn (https://www.reddit.com/r/LawAndOrder/comments/og65bw/comment/h4ha409/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) linking to a lengthy thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/LawAndOrder/comments/nr8ccl/empire_s9e20_what_actually_happened/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) breaking down the infamously confusing episode "Empire." On this thread, they said that it "must have the most plot holes of any L&O episode I can think of."
Another Redditor admitted that, while they "still watch and enjoy" the series, binge-watching the franchise makes the plot holes all the more obvious.
