New Seem Upwards Police Pull & Guild Svu “Intimidation Game” Recap & Review

Law & Order SVU “Intimidation Game” is “ripped from the headlines” of “Gamergate”.  An oversimplified explanation of Gamergate: it’s a polarizing tilt over what is perceived every bit widespread misogyny inward video games in addition to the video game culture, which morphed into an ethics in addition to civilization war. Last year, 3 game developers establish themselves beingness attacked inward Internet forums, where they were threatened -  anonymously - alongside diverse acts of violence including rape in addition to murder. There is a lot to a greater extent than to this number in addition to rather than explicate it here, my proposition is to cheque your Internet search engine of selection to larn all the details.

Full disclosure: I don’t play video games for a lot of reasons. I sympathize that many larn enjoyment from video games; I don’t. That’s merely me in addition to is inward no way meant to hold out a diss against those who taste video games.

The episode was activity packed, which kept my attention. The place scenes heightened the tension in addition to drama; this aspect of this episode was really good done.

There were times the episode was clichéd in addition to cringe-worthy, fifty-fifty for someone similar me who avoids video games similar the plague. The constant gamer slang got old, in addition to (like Benson) I started to experience similar I was beingness treated similar an idiot who couldn’t grasp the simplest gaming concepts. I also felt similar at that spot was a competitor going on to regard how much gamer slang someone could cram into the episode. I suspect that gamers watching this episode hated it for the negative way gaming was depicted. Not all manful someone gamers are violent, crazy, misogynistic lunatics. Yes, at that spot are many out at that spot who are really passionate virtually gaming. I heard from a lot of them in conclusion week, alongside many nasty comments beingness lobbed at me when I showtime posted the episode information, every bit if I wrote the damn thing. But I also heard from many who were marking headed virtually the issue.

Before the opening credits rolled, I said to myself, “bored already.” The opening scene inward the doctor’s piece of work felt shoehorned in. I suppose it was to laid the phase for Benson to afterwards vocalization her concern that every bit Noah grows up, she volition hold out faced alongside to a greater extent than complex behavioral issues. I did query the doctor’s comment during his verbalise alongside Benson that breaking things is inward a boy's DNA, which inward my hear translated to “boys volition hold out boys.” He may lead hold meant it inward a lighthearted way but the episode itself seem to imply that manful someone gamers lead hold fierce demeanour because it’s inward their deoxyribonucleic acid too.

The gaming topic was the perfect characteristic for Ice-T, in addition to I retrieve Fin was a expert illustration of how gamers tin hold out normal people. OK, he did kill ane of the gamers at the end, but Fin was dealing alongside reality in addition to non playing a game.

Rollins made an insensitive comment to Raina when she called them for assist spell using the kidnapper’s jail cellular telephone phone. Rollins says they volition hold out at that spot every bit before long every bit they can. Well, that wasn’t really reassuring.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 glaring error: This instance in addition to in conclusion week’s episode, "Decaying Morality,” overlapped dates, starting alongside Sunday, Jan 25. Amaro was nowhere to hold out establish inward this electrical flow episode, but on this same appointment inward in conclusion week’s episode, he was clearly inward the SVU squad that 24-hour interval in addition to fifty-fifty interviewed the dentist inward his piece of work alongside Carisi. I don’t regard how Carisi could piece of work both the gamer conference instance in addition to the other instance simultaneously. There is a similar conflict alongside those 2 cases on Jan 27. These kinds of errors are merely apparently sloppy in addition to it annoys me to no end.

Please note:  Everyone tin experience gratis to brand comments virtually this episode here;  all I enquire is to hold it civil, on topic, in addition to leave of absence out the vulgarity in addition to insults.  This is my spider web log in addition to my rules, in addition to if someone can’t play past times them, they shouldn’t hold out shocked when they expose their comment deleted.
