About This Site

Announcements
Since this site has been getting a little bit of traffic lately (thanks Metafilter and Gothamist), I thought I'd take a second to explain it, just in case it needs explaining.

The site is supposed to be a fairly complete source of current information about Law & Order in all its flavors, but right now I'm focused on creating detailed summaries for each of the 320 (and counting) episodes of the original series. I started in late December 2003, and I've got 170 or so done, and hope to be nearly finished around the end of June. As a result of this enterprise, the site has a tendency to be, in my opinion, pretty boring. My summaries are often dispassionate, though my hatred of a couple characters and script writers seeps through once in a while. So, like I say, it might not be that exciting, but if you're into L&O, maybe you'll enjoy it.

Regardless, here are some highlights:

  • The episode with Mayor Bloomberg.
  • The episode with Mayor Giuliani.
  • The episode with Janeane Garofalo.
  • The episode with Claire Danes, when she was 13.
  • The 1991 episode with a very young Philip Seymour Hoffman, playing a teenaged rape suspect. Incredibly, Samuel L. Jackson plays his defense attorney.
  • And for old-timey L&O fans, the episode where McCoy goes to the US Supreme Court.
I write the summaries because there doesn't seem to be another unofficial source for detailed summaries of all the episodes elsewhere on the web. (If you know of someone else who has done this, please don't tell me, because I'm too far gone to quit now.)

Once I finish writing up all the eps, I think this site will be a little more concerned with recent off-screen developments related to the show...until I turn my attention to the 170 episodes of SVU and Criminal Intent I haven't written about yet.

ps. Comments are turned off temporarily as a spam-prevention measure, but you can email me if you want.
