Agreed Goldwyn is great at both roles - he’s been a strong choice to replace Sam Waterston/Jack McCoy on the Mothership IMO, I really like Nick Baxter.
S8 is kind of jumbled and somewhat of a mess with the episode order plus the episode that’s never shown on reruns The Glory That Was because it pissed off some people involved with the Rio Olympics/Brazilian government. But it has some good episodes, my favorites are Family Values and Major Case
I like “Lady’s Man,” which is coming up tonight (11/6).
I wonder if he got chosen as Barba on SVU on the basis of this episode?
There’s a humorous fanfic on either Fanfiction net or AO3 that plays on the fact that Esparza played both roles and Barba gets arrested for a crime Mulrooney commits.
I like “Lady’s Man”, too! Always nice when Alex gets time in the spotlight. (Even if I love Bobby, too.)
Do you remember the name of that fanfic? Sounds like something that can make me laugh, and I could use a laugh right about now!
Lady’s Man is a pretty good episode and I also liked the focus on Eames, plus very minimal Ross in that episode which was nice - the less of that asshat the better!
But yeah it’s weird seeing Barba as this psychopath lawyer here, Barba is my favorite SVU ADA, at least until they made him a Benson Bot. It’s amazing how many actors have been used over and over on Dick Wolf shows.
By the way, welcome, @Kitsune !
Found it! “Black and White” Says I can’t put links here. It’s on AO3. The number is. 15971381.
Thank you.
Rita Moreno (Frances Goren) now has her very own Barbie doll. Yes, really! I guess being a renowned EGOT recipient has its perks.

Courtney B. Vance to replace the late Lance Reddick as Zeus in Season 2 of Percy Jackson and The Olympians on Disney+.
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving today in the US.
On another note, while this episode has been discussed a bunch, I never caught the sad irony until now when Charles Rocket’s Johnny or Donnie said at the end of “Pas De Deux” on Charge! tonight that he was not suicidal, since that is exactly how Charles Rocket died, around two years after filming this episode. Kind of made goosebumps rise on my arms.
