SVU - made me cry
September 19th 2006 00:25
Last night it was a double episode of SVU. I was exhausted and had found that I had become one with the couch so had no other option but to watch. Not so bad, some adult drama to take my mind of te real issues in the world and my life. Just click - turn off the brain.
The first episode was the usual SVU with a 'special victim', and youngg boy found dead in a dumpster. There were twists and turns and the viewers were presented with tricky moral issues when it was revealed the killer was a young boy who had been tortured at camp. The murdered boy's father was the kid's shrink and had infact sent him to the camp and was suitably emotional and confused.. But wait! Turns out the killer wasn't tortured at all and was just a nasty piece of work... But wait!.... you know - so on and so on... It was the usual SVU stuff that I was looking for to not really challenge me on my comfy couch in my comfy apartment with my kids asleep in their comfy beds.
It was the second episode that broke me. An episode that the advertising had otld me would shock me.... "yeah right" I thought. Ten minutes later I was bawling my eyes out. It was a waco-ish cult situation with 'Abraham' sleeping with all the women and children, and impregnanting everyone, even his own kids. When the SVU were sent to his porperty to investigate he orchestrated that one of his followers shoot everyone in the property (including herself) while he escaped. The images of little chubby hands holding dummys covered in blood, of little bear pajamas lying splayed out and still on the floor. It was horrific and makes me tear up even remembering it. I dn't know why it affected me so much - it didn't do it to my husband. But something about those images and that storyline made my heart break so many times over. Made me want to run into my daughter's bedroom and squeeze her and kiss her and tell her I'd protect her....
Hats off to SVU to a truly moving episode. And hats off to the fictional SVU characters for getting the bad guy in the end.
