After only seeing Barba for five minutes he's a bulldog compared to carisi. No offense to carisi, I like him and he's a sweet guy but they really said let's put the nicest guy as the ADA.

hi here's a rambling of my thoughts, warning this is kind of long.

so I'm just sitting here thinking about law & order SVU as always, and I'm thinking about how seasons 1-12, and Season 13 onward are two totally different shows. the show premiered only two months after I was born but I watched it my whole childhood, probably not great for my development probably not a great thing for me, but I remember watching episodes of the show as early as when I was 6 years old. but then in like 7th grade I fell in love with the show so I've seen every single episode, and they're just 2 different shows to me. the big reason is because seasons 1-12 had a fiercely established cast. the only thing that really changed was when Jeffries left after only one season and Ice T came on, and when Cabot was replaced with Novak, and then the big big change was when Elliot left after season 12, but that's not all that changed.

cause in seasons 1-12, there was an extra element of the show that i kinda miss; the medical examiner was a main character, as was a psychologist, and a forensics guy that we saw consistently, we even saw the taru guy Morales on a regular basis. the forensics, psychology, and autopsy element of the show was a big part of it, sort of similar to NCIS. but then in season 13 and onward we don't really see any of that stuff, and it's a treat when we do. and also in the seasons following 13, there was a lot of consistent cast changes, meaning you could break down those seasons even further.

seasons 13, 14, and up to the halfway point of 15 is an established cast. we have Nick and Amanda join the crew to replace Stabler, no one leaves and during that time frame we also get Barba. but then in season 15, Munch and Cragen both leave and this is when Olivia is placed in a leadership position. now this is a significant change in the show cuz her role is completely different after that point.

and then season 16? new character. Sonny Carisi is here everybody. but then at the end of 16? Nick is gone. so then 17? another new character, Sergeant Dodds is here but then he dies, but no one replaces him, so season 18 is pretty chill. but then what happens halfway through season 19? Barba leaves, nother new character, Peter Stone is here and he stays on through season 20, so season 20 is chill like season 18. but then guess what? Peter Stone is leaving, so season 21 you would think the new character would be an ADA but instead ooh let's give Carisi a career change so now he's the ADA, so that's a structural change and then a few episodes in what happens? nother new character, Kat's here now. now it's season 22 guess what? nother new character, Chief Garland is a main character now.

so when you rewatch the newer seasons, you can actually pick a character to base your rewatch around like oh I'm going to watch the Nick Amaro years and watch Seasons 13 to 16 or oh I'm going to watch the Barba years or the Carisi years, hell you could even watch the detective Carisi years or the ADA Carisi years.

I'm not saying this as a bad thing i think it's neat. i don't feel like svu 1.0 is better or worse than 13 onward, i actually have what feels like the unpopular opinion bc I really love Carisi, Amanda, and Barba so I watch those episodes more than I do early seasons, but it feels like two completely different shows to me.

the only complaint I do have is the fact that we never got to see Carisi and Munch interact because I think they would be a good duo.

that's all thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
