Im getting scared

Oh no, Law and order Los Angeles is on the brink of being cancelled. Anyways tonights episode was definitely not as brilliants as last weeks. Some weak acting spots and a plot that was all over the place made for a solid good on the richter scale. Last weeks Reseda was excellent at a 10/10. This week's Runyon Canyon lacked a bit with less character development and no mood swings from Morales. I like to see the anger a bit from Morales. This episode seemed to be based on the Amanda Knox case but there was no tension with the characters. I feel like Molina's character need to be more of a bad ass. Also De La Garza needs more lines, she sits back and just watches Terrence (Jonah Dekker) make all the decisions. I'd like to see less Terrence Howard and more De La Garza. Howard's character is part of the problem with the show, he reminds me of Skeet's character which is Very dry while lacking emotion. Give Joe Dekker some side missions, what i mean is give him a character, we don't know him he is dry and when he gets serious in the courtroom no one really cares. Also I must applaud Rachel Ticotin, her character is so well built so strong. We know who she is in this show, brilliant job with her. Also TJ needs character built who is he, is he a good cop cause now hes just a boring cop. I'd honestly say fire Terrence Howard and replace his weak ass or give him an edge, he has that somewhat whiny voice. Also stay away from these horrible actors, only SVU is allowed to do that they've been on the air for 12 years. Damn Criminal intent has been good. Figures McDonagh is a bad guy, he only plays bad guys. Anyways fire HOWARD!
