- TriviaThis episode marks the crossover of three Law and Order franchises. Dick Wolf first proposed a cross-over for Law & Order (1990), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999), and Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001) which centered on a terrorist's plot and a ticking time-bomb scenario. It was nixed when terrorists hijacked the planes that brought down the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.

Featured review
Embarrassing
The criticism against the Law and Order franchise for glorifying the police while creating the illusion that criminals are doggedly pursued by a crack team of overachievers is alive and well with this season. And so is the pandering.
Once more, we get SuperBenson, champion of the downtrodden sex crimes victim (read: White women) against those evil men who are guilty without a trial (and in this case, "foreign"). It's the sort of ugly trope that makes us believe accusers never lie, you can "just tell" when someone is guilty, an accusation equals proof, and the police are judge and jury. SuperBenson is going to ride atop a golden stallion right after she gets a decent 'do.
Jeffrey "Derp Derp" Donovan is in full derp this episode, going toe to toe (or should we say no-chin to chin) with Stabler, who even after all these years likes to mix it up with other cops. A 15-year-old victim is involved, you see -- remember, she's White, which means they're giving 100% this time -- so it's really just a long SVU episode with some guests from the other shows. He's got a new partner whose name I didn't even bother to learn. He's a big, hulking guy with a voice like he's in a beer commercial, and of course, everybody immediately loves and respects him. Not me. You gotta do more than just show up.
The best part of this episode is Christopher Meloni, who never gives a bad performance despite some of the awful scripts he gets handed. If he wasn't in this, it would get no stars. He's helped by the cast from his own show, all of whom except the annoying ghostly computer geek are enjoyable. I wish Organized Crime had better scripts because it's really the only of these Law and Order shows worth watching anymore.
This is just the opening for a multi-part festival of disappointment, so we'll see how the others work.
