I have watched SVU for years and have always been a fan of Olivia, but not so much of Stabler. In fact I have enjoyed the program so much more since he left as the show was focused on a strong woman who did a very difficult job with compassion and effectiveness. The rest of the SVU cast has been great. I never thought Olivia and Elliott would or should get together romantically. Nor get together at all on a show after he left. After seeing tonight's show with them back together and how old and haggard both of them now look, he dragging her down and she letting him, I probably won't be watching SVU much any more. I haven't liked Law and Order Int'l and don't watch it. I think It's probably time that both SVU and Int'l are retired. Sorry Mariska. I like you, but think Stabler and the writers are not doing you or SVU any favors!
