I would love to know who played Hightop the dealer/ friend of the accused cop killer. Mostly though this is a great use of VIRTUALLY every actor in the show. The outraged captain even has the nerve to suggest that the Lieutenant has gone soft with her health issues. (excusssse you sir!!)
Mostly it shows how overzealous cops can use criminals to their advantage yet remain respectable victims despite the facts that come out. Even Lupo acts with mob mentality. The scene with all the cops in the shop after they pick up the wrong guy at first was actually done better in another Law & Order when the guy (accused copkiller) is perpwalked INTO THE STATION while police officers flank both sides of the walkway in a silent yet menancing sombre stance. Maybe Criminal Intent. ( I miss that one too but I get the actors need to move on...) hahaha & cant wait to start the new Law& Order: Organised Crime, in which Meloni is reprising his much missed character of Stabler. Its been YEARS since the flagship L&O left our tv screens except in lucky to find reruns in syndication, but I'm gonna still hope that a retired DA JACK McCoy can make a FEW cameos. And I WILL be outraged if we don't see the longest serving actor from the original L&O ( S. EPATHA MERKERSON) I had to memorize her name as its difficult, reprise her character as she could be chief of Ds by now!
If we dont its because she said no. She's an actor whose character left a real imprint on me. She is, BEFORE SVU surpassed their date, the longest oldest lasting character and it would be cool if she made just one appearance to solidify that! Come on Dick Wolf you owe her!!! LOL I love this show. Its so long you can watch it to the last season 20yrs worth, then forget the first season's endings. I loved Ben Stone too. But they REALLY did well getting Sam Waterston and the many lovely ladies as his assistants who were GREAT actors who happened to be beautiful. I miss this show. I don't watch the rapey one, as it got SO soapy with Olivias character and she was becoming totally unrealstic.
Also too graphic. And though I love Who songs like the best of them, CSI was also too gross and far fetched. I liked the police story.... then the court story. So on that note, this episode was edited so well EVERYONE gets good lines and are imperative to the telling of the story. Plus SO MANY GREAT actors guest star I hadn't seen Debra Winger in years. There she was a few episodes back. I hope the new one will last. And give us those lovely reunions we all pray for. PS ANYONE know who played Hightop?.in this? Its NOT in the cast listings and he looks like my old neighbour a pot head with the hair exactly!
