An amazing hour of television, 1 December 2007

Whilst some may think that this episode is based too much on the lives of the detectives...I, a loyal viewer, think this may be one of the best episodes in SVU- no,-television history.
The acting by Isabel (Kathy Stabler) and Mariska (Olivia Benson) in this episode was brilliant. Emotional scenes, dramatic scenes...all will leave the viewer on the edge of their seat.
And then, of course, there is the hug with the two lead detectives- Stabler and Benson- which will leave fans of the show- and the shipping- thrilled.
Definitely worth watching...and waiting through several mediocre episodes this season.

This is AMAZING, 28 November 2007

This was the best episode of SVU I have ever seen and possibly the best episode of any TV series I have EVER seen. It was amazing and thrilling. My heart was racing the entire time and the ending was perfect.I loved every bit of this episode especially the chemistry between Elliot and Olivia. I adored the fact that Cathy decided that she wanted to name the baby after Elliot and I'm really impressed with all of the acting. The writing was absolutely perfect and I loved the fact that Olivia actually helped with Cathy and the birth. I hope that the rest of SVU is as good as this episode. Anyone who didn't like SVU before watching this episode is probably in love with it now. It was AMAZING.

Superb!, 12 December 2007

I completely disagree with anyone who thought this was a bad episode. It was a terrific episode and one I wish I had recorded. The "Special Victims Unit" of Law and Order is my favorite of the Law and Order series, mostly because I find all the characters more interesting. I like the teaming of Hargitay and Meloni and find them both very human and very resilient. I also like Dann Florek's character. I have enjoyed every episode I've seen but especially this one. The acting, directing, and camera work was excellently done and I was moved in every moment. Like Night Heat in the 1980s, and The Practice, this Law and Order is one of the most interesting crime dramas. All-in-all, both this episode and this series is one of my favorites!

I LOVED THIS EPISODE!
Yeah some parts were stretching the truth, but that's why they call is drama not documentary. Overall it was favourite episode, so far.
I was fantastic to see the characters developed, and I loved the humanity that was brought to the show, in this episode.
I would be thrilled to see more episodes like this one. It was a good change of pace, yet it still retained the same flavour we love about SVU.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone.
Was I imagining it, or was there something more than a "Thanks" in the hug between Stabler & Benson?

Perhaps a little too personal, 1 April 2008
Author: xredgarnetx from Connecticut
PATERNITY takes SVU into soap opera territory, as the paranoid Stabler wonders if his pregnant wife's baby might be someone else's. They were separated for a time, after all, and both took up with others. Before the episode is over, the wife and Olivia are involved in a horrific car crash (which I could see coming a mile away, in fact as soon as Olivia volunteered to take Mrs. Stabler to her doctor's appointment while Elliot pursues a felon to upstate New York). The rest of the episode is pretty predictable. Not the worst episode, but too personal and chummy and not enough going on otherwise. Also, Olivia, God bless her, is starting to show her age.

Is this even Law and Order?, 27 November 2007
Author: yoshinorimike from United States
This was the most amateurishly produced, directed and written hour of television I think I have ever seen in my entire life. I know that might sound like blatant hyperbole, but I assure you, sadly it is NOT.
The parody of a television show that I just witnessed defies description. Literally, my wife and I spent the last hour alternating between hysterical laughter at each preposterous and implausible plot twist that unfolded, and complete disbelief at the utter crap that was coming out of the characters mouths.
I realize I've barely said anything about the actual plot or given some evidence as to why it was so bad. Watch the episode. You'll see. Anything I could say here would pale in comparison to what will play out on your TV screen. The details of the plot don't matter. What matters is the utter inanity that infuses *every* *detail* of this episode. It truly is staggering.
On a positive note, I am confident this episode will go down in history as a kitsch classic. It's a must-see for all the wrong reasons.
