Law & Order: LA: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

''Law & Order: LA'' (2010-2011), originally titled ''Law & Order: Los Angeles'', is a ''[[Law and Order]]'' spinoff [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|set in]] [[Los Angeles]]. It was intended to replace the original series, which ended its successful 20-season run in 2010. However, it suffered low ratings, despite attempts to move it around in the schedule and a mid-season [[Retool]] that killed off one character, moved another from the DA's office to the LAPD, and introduced a [[Transplant]] from the original series. It was canceled in May 2011, leaving several episodes from before the retool to be aired [[Out of Order]].

Line 25:

* [[Ironic Death]] / [[Dramatic Irony]]: {{spoiler|The golfer's son, who hates his father for being a serial philanderer, kills the one woman who is most definitely not sleeping with him due her to being in love with another woman. She was also ready to start a [[Humiliation Conga]] on her "romantic rival" (in her head; the girlfriend was essentially gay for pay) after he mocked her, something the son would've gladly gotten behind.}}

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: The tagline for an episode dealing with a [[Handsome Lech|philandering]] [[Jerk Jock|golfer]] and his [[Woman Scorned|justifiably angry wife]] was "Oh yeah -- we're going there".

* [[Off On a Technicality]]: {{spoiler|The serial killer (who appears to be based on the Grim Sleeper) from "Ballona Creek". He isn't free for long, though.}}

* [[Off on a Technicality]]: {{spoiler|The serial killer (who appears to be based on the Grim Sleeper) from "Ballona Creek". He isn't free for long, though.}}

* [[Oh Crap]]: The look on Moralez's face when {{spoiler|Jaruszalski is trying to hold very still after potentially triggering a bomb. However, Moralez gets bonus points for willing choosing to stay despite the risk.}}

* [[Pass the Popcorn]]: The main detectives, as they observe the killer from "Ballona Creek" being arrested by cops from another jurisdiction.

Line 38:

** "Hayden Tract" is a trifecta of headlines: a Tuscon shooting massacre-parallel occurs and the Elizabeth Smart kidnapping case are mentioned, as are [http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-01-07/bay-area/27015224_1_therapeutic-modules-mentally-ill-prisoners-prison-officials prison therapy cages], er, "modules".

* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: (most of) The Moon Bay Crew; undoubtedly many others.

* [[Screwed By the Network]]: Sure, the ratings weren't that great, but what with being constantly shuffled around, going through a mid-season [[Retool]] (after which ratings improved) and ''then'' showing the episodes out of order so that the end-of-season [[Cliff Hanger]] played ''right in the middle of the season'' made a lot of fans think that NBC never gave the show a chance.

* [[Shout-Out]]: I want to believe a computer-game obsessed guy named [[Mass Effect|Sheppard]] searching for someone named [[Half Life|Freeman]] is this...

* [[Socialite]]: It's set in [[Los Angeles]], so the cops and attorneys sometimes have to deal with very rich, very privileged suspects and witnesses.
