Watched the episode of SVU that's all nature vs nurture in regards to children of rape victims (though lol, that really doesn't narrow things down a whole lot, seeing as they tend to do those about once a season to whump on Olivia--3.08 "Inheritance") where Stabler asks Huang along to translate and George is all "You assume I speak Chinese?" and there's a pause before Elliot responds "I heard you order takeout". Such a suspicious pause, was all I kept thinking. Like the answer was really going to be "Oh, last night, you were pretty incoherent but I knew it wasn't based in English".

But later was the part that I really found funny. Something about B.D. Wong's delivery when he mentions how things at the house with his traditionalist Chinese parents wouldn't have been pleasant if his sister had dated a black man made it sound totally like the sister thing was a blatant coverup for the fact that Huang did bring a black man home once and it wasn't pretty. It's like the pronoun game, only substituting your opposite-sexed sibling in for anecdotes about your own romantic exploits.

And, erm, the defense lawyer? Who read the dictionary when she was little and had a PhD in what, biochem? I want her in fic. She seemed like a cool character.

Oh, and Julia Child? I knew she was cooler than she was letting on.
