I'm not quite sure where to put this, so I'll place it in the general discussion by default.
This weekend I went to pick up a book I had on hold at the library, and, as often, happens, I picked up a couple of other books. One was THE UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO LAW AND ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT. Not a bad basic guide to the series and one that acknowledged that this show can be uneven (sometimes terribly) and exploitive (again, sometimes terribly). The authors were awfully cozy with the cast and crew and production people for it to be an "Unofficial" guide, and I was disturbed by at at least one error (the sort of error that could've been easily checked and the sort that causes me to doubt a book).
But the book irked me. There's a guide to the mothership and now one for SVU. Where is the guide for LOCI? Once again, it's the red headed stepchild.
