Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Dear Ben (2019)
Great Episode.
I unlike some others liked that Episode.
Some says (for example Imdb Member Ed-Shullivan) says that this entire episode focues mainly on Captain Benson. And I have to totally disagree. He further states that . "....Captain Benson (a few seasons ago she was promoted to Captain) is out in the field investigating...."
Well first of all she is NOT Captain Benson at this Time. She was still Lt. She was promoted to Captain in the 21th Season. But we are talking about a Episode that happend in this Season wich is Seaon 20. How can she be Captain is she is just only Lieutenant, hm?
He also stated that: "Captain Olivia Benson is out in the field interviewing witnesses and suspects alike, usually by herself"
This is false too. It's just wrong. Mostly she is with another Detective, either Rollins or Fin, sometimes even with Carisi. Sure sometimes she speaks with a withness by herself. But normally she has a Partner on her Side it's just not the same. In this Episode it's even Carisi who finds "a clue" together with Peter Stone and later speak with the whitness. And furthermore this Episode is about Peter Stones Character. So how can this be a as Ed Shullivan described it a "Olivia centric" Episode if it's all about Peter Stones Character. His Father was the late Ben Stone (known form the Orignal Law and Order) So this Episode harkens back to the Roots of Law And Order. It shows that this Show and it#s Spin Off have a long History. It shows that it's more than just Olivia. Hell, Ben Stone, the Character (almost) everybody (in this Episode) is talking about was the DA for Orignal Law and Order Series, in the first few Seasons. So how can this be a Episode about Olivia if it's about the Relationship between already dead Ben Stone and his Son Peter Stone? Has this Member even watched the Episode??
I liked this Episode because Carisi get a little more to do, also I loved this Episode because it references the Orignal Law and Order, especially the Character Ben Stone.
And I for example remeber Detective Eliott Stabler. I also remeber his Wife and Family, his many Children like Kathleen or Richard "Dickie" Stabler or Maurren his other Daughter or his other Son Elliot Jr. They got Screentime too, from time to time. So why can't Olivias Family have Screentime from time to time. So it's okay to show Elliots Family but not Olivias? Hows that? That not logical.
And yes Donald Cragen was behind his Desk most of the time, but she is just a little Different Type of Lt. or now Captain, she likes to go out in the field. Why not? Why can't a Lt. go out and investigate? And even Captain Craigen joined in some Cases. Okay, not that much. But I can name a Bunch of Episode where he is more involed and not staying behind the Desk. So, I wouldn't say it "still focuses farr too mch on Olivia" also given the "Thing" that this Episode was more about Peter Stone. So how can he say it's still too much about Olivia, especially in this Episode. Has he ever watched it. Maybe no, also because he claims that Olivia has been Promoted to Captain some seasons ago. No, she is still Lieutnant in this Episode. She didn't get Promoted until Season 21. How can she be promoted back then? Surley, clearly he (the Imdb Member Ed-Shullivan) made a mistake. Again does he even follow the Show...?!?
I for myself like the Episode because it shows the Show's big History. Because it referenced Ben Stone the Orignal District Attorney from the Original Law and Order. I think Ed doesn't like L&O SVU anymore. But "stupidly" of all things, unfortunately, "foolishly " the reviewer has to pick out the One Episode that not about Olvia! Of all things he has to pick out the Episode that not about Oliva, and even an Episode where Olivia is more behind her Office Desk then in the Field. (Okay, she is more in the Field, investigating than Cragen was, okay...) But not in that Episode. In this Episode we see here more in the Department Office then outside. Of all Episodes he has to pick out that one where is in the Office, to illustrate that Olivia is too much out, too many time away from her Desk. So, has he even wachted this Episode more Closely?!? Or does he not pay full attention to it. How else can "we" explain the wrongfully review?
