the two rape survivors on the show, one explicitly confirmed and one heavily as all fuck implied, are the alpha males
*nodnod* I know someone said in that discussion that she loves being in a fandom where she doesn't have to think, "Oh great, it's Sweeps Week, time for the writers to threaten one of the female leads with rape". I mean, the subject is there because considering their jobs, there's no way it can't be, but it's not treated as a showy or gimmicky thing. When they deal with survivors, they're believed. And the one time I remember where they brought in a "Oh, she's probably lying anyway!" character, that character ended up changing her mind and, I think, apologizing, and how often does that happen on crime shows??
She's back in college, and her friends all love her slightly geeky and TA-ish "special friend."
Aww, I like that personal canon. :-D I need to go back and rewatch all the episodes and do kindof a show-by-show review of some kind, because the first time through I just mainlined all of them to see what would happen next and I know a bunch of details blurred. Makes it kinda hard to get my own personal canon set up just yet. LOL
no subject

In the meantime, must go find good fanfic.
