I’d like to take a moment this morning to mourn the loss of one of my most favorite television characters ever.
The smoking hot SVU bad boy detective, Elliot Stabler.

(Sorry, Michael. You know I adore him.)
Actor Chris Meloni announced this will be his final season on the long-running Law & Order: SVU, and while I suppose 12 seasons is a good run, I think there are many women who will agree with me that we could have watched another 12 of Mr. Meloni. Preferably shirtless.

What?
Oh, Elliot. I will miss you so. Maybe throw us a bone and hook up with Olivia before you leave? I mean, come on. You two are perfect for each other.
*Could you tell the title was that noise they make between scenes on SVU? No? It wasn’t a reference to Chris Meloni’s bum, although…I’m sure that’s quite nice. (I never watched him in Oz, but I heard it’s quite…interesting!)

I know, I am soooo sad! With Olivia taking a smaller role and Elliot leaving, I really doubt I will watch next season at all. You’d think after 12 years you’d want to be in the last season…

Nooo! I read somewhere that Olivia (er, Mariska) will be leaving mid-season as well? Why must they torture us?

I thought you were going to say he passed away after I read “mourn the loss”–glad to know he’s still alive! Bummer about the show. He’s a fave of mine too.

I borrowed Oz from the library because I heard it was a good series. I watch the first disc and stopped because it was so disturbing. I hope I never have to go to prison. (And kind of want to ask people I know who have been to prison if it’s really that bad, but how do you pose that question politely?)

I know! I LOVE SVU! This is a complete bummer. The show won’t be the same without him or Mariska, for that matter.

Wha?!??!! But I LOVE Elliot/Meloni! And I actually got butterflies in my stomach from that second photo.
Come on, SVU, I need a big, handsome, strong, conflicted man to save me…er…I mean, to save the victims.
<–sucker for SVU

Noooooo! I love Eliot Stabler with such a passion. He is my all-time favorite Law & Order character.

I am so bummed about his departure! SVU is one of my favorite shows and I love Elliot to death. I’m glad the show will still be one, but it just won’t be the same…
