If you’re as big a fan of SVU as I am, you can imagine my delight when I got a comment on last week’s blog — from the SVU writers room!
As you may recall, I took issue with the goats in the gypsy camp of the Lost Traveler episode. “In my 12 years as a prosecutor,” I said, “I never saw a goat.” Then I challenged the writers to work a dolphin into a future episode.
A couple days later I found this email in my inbox:
Dear Allison,
On behalf of the SVU writers room, we think your blog is very good. Our showrunner brought it to our attention recently, and we’ve all been enjoying it very much.
We have one bone to pick, however. RE: the dolphin. The ’08 writers room already went there. See the below link.
Keep up the good work!

After I finally stopped laughing and picked myself off the floor, I realized several things: First, there is nothing that SVU shies away from, and little that they haven’t covered. Second, dolphins are not sexy. (Actually, I already knew that one.) Third, and most importantly: don’t mess with the SVU writers room.
