SVU runs on clichés, fighting the injustice of the day, and whatever little interaction may take place with the court. This episode showed a thing that saddeningly lacks from SVU: character development. Carisi is unarmed and softened by his time being at the DA's office and enjoying family life. He has to come to confront how he sees himself, his masculinity, and how his role relates to those around him. It is a powerful episode with a superb performance from an under-utilized actor. If you want to watch just one episode from this season, let it be this one. There was some exceptional television at play here.

Huge monsters duking it out, pyramids changing gravity, nonsensical plot, and fun special effects. There is nothing plausible or anything that makes sense in any way. What you will get is a fun monster movie. People who go to these films expecting Citizen Kane are the more ridiculous reviewers. This is a movie you go in with some soda and popcorn and just relax to. This movie exists to entertain you, so let it. The monster fights and effects are superb and that is all you need. The human characters simply subsist in the midst of the story. Godzilla x Kong is great fun so what are you waiting for? We don't just go to the movies for Oscar powerhouses, we go to have a good time. In that, this movie is what the doctor ordered.
