"Law And Order: SVU" We Need To Talk About Bringing Back Elliot Stabler

DADDY STABLER. (This may or may not contain spoilers, I guess.)

Law & Order: SVU is easily the best of the Law & Order branch, which is probably why it's going 17 seasons strong.

NBC

But we need to talk about one very important thing that could be done to improve the show.

NBC

WE NEED ELLIOT STABLER BACK!

NBC

Let's be real, the show hasn't been the same since he left back in Season 12.

NBC

For one, Benson and Stabler were the dream team.

Secondly, the SVU department has been a revolving door of men since his departure.

Amaro may have shared the same anger issues, but he didn't have the same presence as Elliot. And Dodds, well. RIP Dodds.

Thirdly, Elliot was just damn fine to look at.

SVU

He's just the best, OK?

Yeah, Fin and Carisi are cool...

NBC

And, yes, we definitely love that Olivia is a kickass woman leading a team, and that should NEVER EVER change.

NBC

She deserves to be in charge.

But that doesn't mean we wouldn't love our OTP, our dream team, our fearless detectives back at it again, solving one crime after another.

NBC

Your move for Season 18, SVU.
