Can't wait to read the reviews tomorrow!

I agree! I'd like for her to do more guest spots until she finds a good vehicle or film to attach herself to. She works hard and does good work, as indicated by tonight, and more people should see it. It sucks that TBL got canceled so quickly and that so many of her films didn't get released wide. I hate it when people say she doesn't work, when she's been putting in these good performances. It's just that no one's seen them.

Although I'll say that this appearance was a step up from TBL. Of course, the role was much meatier. Sonja had a lot of promise in the pilot and she only just started to live up to it in the last episode we got to see.

Awesome guest spot! My favorite scenes were the reveal of how she'd become a prostitute, the line up, and the court scene. I watched both eps, and honestly, Mischa's was better. It was a lot more emotional.

Mischa's ep did really well

9 million people got to see her be amazing.

Hooray!

The reception that I've read has been back and forth on her performance, but I really think that those who are hating were already planning to hate on her no matter what, so whatever. But for every "bad" review, I've read a good one.

Sam_MC

I'm over reviews, tbh. People can suck it, lol.

Cristofle

Most of the backlash I've seen is about the prior episode, which is something, lol.

Sam_MC

I wonder if there's any chance they'll have her come back. Do they do that on SVU?

I've never seen an episode before and now I regret it. Mariska and Chris are awesome.

Cristofle

I like, JUST started DVRing this on USA so I don't know, lol. It almost seems like she'd have to at some point, given the cliffhanger.

This show is apparently on Season ELEVEN. Dang. I know they sometimes use ideas from real NYC crimes though. So this show could potentially go on forever, lol.

Sam_MC

It is!! I was floored when I found out too, lol. Mischa's ep was 11x14.

BTW, I added caps last night:

Yeah, I've read a lot of negative things on the episode before it. Both for the cutting of the lesbian kiss and for Kathy Griffin's performance. But yeah, I'm over reviews too. So much of the entertainment media has it out for her. She could cure cancer and they'd say she did it wrong.

From the ones I've seen, they've brought back some recurring characters, but they've mostly been related to the courtroom or the force. I can't remember a big standout outside those areas. But you know, it's not unheard of for procedurals. One example coming to mind is Melinda Clarke as Lady Heather on CSI. And the cliffhanger has left more than enough room for a return. The executive producer seems to like her a lot, and Mariska had high praise for her.

There are a lot of seasons, and they do pull a lot from cases. I think a story similar to the one in Mischa's episode might've happened.

Thanks for the screencaps. Damn, that Craigslist ad. HOTTTTTT!

Sam_MC

It would be so awesome if they brought her back.

But I also hope Mischa continues guest starring on shows every now and then. I'd flip for a True Blood spot especially.

eatyourgreens

I really want her to guest more too. I'll follow her anywhere.

Of course, I wouldn't say no to a regular spot on a good TV show on a good network either.

Sam_MC

Amen!!

Well, the guy who gave "Jeers" to Mischa's guest appearance for TV Guide Magazine also gave "Jeers" to tonight's episode of "The Office." Clearly, he has no taste. Failfailfailfailfail.
