"I tried to break up with him so he shot me and killed my husband, that's why I'm clearly still sleeping with him, instead of telling the police that he's the one that did it so an innocent man wouldn't go to prison." - Because that totally makes sense.

[@kadindarklord]

Here's another leap of logic: If it was broken off, why were they meeting? Or was it really a coincidence?

[@martinwyke]

Doh, she thinks they don't know she just met him, so not as smart or Greevey suggests.

[@fialee8]

Pretty much every single criminal who get's caught will make self serving statements to distance themselves from the incident. The cops know this, the DA knows this, the defense knows this, the judge knows this... the only people who don't know is the jury. If you are up for a severe penalty, and they don't offer you a great deal... take it to jury.

I love Cragan so much in the early L&O. He's supportive of his boys, but he's level-headed enough to be a good, fair captain...and occasionally bust their asses, lol ("Reopen the case?! I love this! I *really* love this!") He and Max Greevey were a great duo.

[@AndrewBarsky]

SylverMage He’s one hell of an actor. Mad respect.

[@MrMojo23100]

He knows that it's his ass on the line if it doesn't work out. You don't often get to see what he has to put up with from those higher on the food chain, so he can only risk his career on a hunch and flimsy evidence to a point.

[@draco84oz]

Its weird - you watch these early episodes and then compare them to his time as the captain of SVU, its almost as if he's two different people in terms of personality.

[@jonesey251]

at first he was a real 80's bad tempered ball buster "police sarge" type, but he mellows as the series goes on

0:39-0:41 The absence of the iconic *dun dun* during the scene transition that time stood out like the proverbial sore thumb to me.

the bit players/character actors in this series were always superb.

Absolutely. The perfect casting, excellent acting and creative choices of bit characters in my opinion made the original L&O one of the best dramas ever.

That's not really factually accurate. They're called work horses for a reason. I'm sure a guy like Officer Max tops out at 250lbs and that's being generous. That's hardly going to break a sweat for the horse.

@@jdrancho1864 Thanks, jd. Most of these were new to me. If I may suggest what might be an improvement on one: "How many alcoholics does it ...?'\ Two. One to screw in the light bulb, one to drink until the room starts spinning." This kind of misses the point that the light bulb doesn't have to be turned because the room will turn (spin) instead. So the response might be better worded this way: "Two. One to hold the light bulb in the socket, one to drink until the room starts spinning."

I love how Greevey always had some long personal story that is only vaguely relevant to explain how he reached his opinion on the case.

[@chaisepomme4070]

I was an early watcher of Law and Order. It seems such a long time ago... and also just yesterday that this procedural was the one with the plot grabbed from the headlines. First season was amazing. I know Briscoe (jerry Orbach) was great but my sentimental favourite duo is always Greevey and Logan. Plus, I always liked Michael Moriarty as senior ADA better than the others who followed. Same with Richard Brooks.
