Featured review
Benson is Boss of all Three Law & Orders
Gimme Shelter Part Two is the second hour of the three part Law & Order franchise season premiere crossover and despite loads of missed opportunities (what's new, it's Dick Wolf), this is still the best hour by far of the three.
The action picks up with Benson and Fin questioning a teen discovered in the previous hour's raid (Gimme Shelter Part 1 - OC 3x1) while the Mothership's Cosgrove and Shaw (Jeffrey Donovan and Mehcad Brooks) interrogate a madam on the other side of the glass.
Minutes later combined squads descend in artillery on the bad guy's mansion for some classic L&O action.
Though led by Benson & Stabler, it's Benson (Mariska Hargitay) calling the shots, as she does throughout the evening. She's distinctly in charge particularly when working with Stabler, (Chris Meloni) who has made it clear since returning that that's how he wants it.
After a broken ankle and knee injury sidelined her for months last year, Hargitay is back in top form, sprinting up staircases and streets again with her former partner, as well as alongside Rollins (Kelli Giddish).
That Wolf paid a fortune to reunite her with Meloni (whose own athleticism is legion), but seems to have no real idea what to do with them, is now bordering on debacle. Several obvious opportunities to have the characters connect were inexplicably bypassed during the crossover, particularly when Stabler suffers a loss and Benson protects a witness.
And the one moment that appears meant to be their "big scene" -- Stabler aggressively tries to protect her and Benson wildly overreacts -- is strangely off.
The second crossover hour also highlights OC's Jet Slootmaekers (Ainsley Seiger), the tech wiz whose growing fondness for Stabler has been an Organized Crime high point.
OC's Bell (Danielle Mone Truitt), Fin and Rollins are good in what little they are given to do, a short-shrift to create more time to market Mothership characters. Carisi (Peter Scanavino) is nowhere to be seen until near 11 pm, for literally 15 seconds.
Ep also has explosives, hostages and Stabler pummeling the villain -- all a notch up from average SVU episodes of late, but nowhere near what this should have been.
Gimme Shelter Part 2 is really a 7-star episode at most, but adding a coupla stars for the "three-hour-movie" ambition and BensonStabler nostalgia.
