ok, this is probably way too telling that i remmeber this discussion and couldn't wait until tonight's law & order repeat was over to come post about it. if you rad this thread, a lot of folks were shocked by ada serena southerlyn's firing and the comment, "is this because i'm a lesbian?" at the time i was as shocked as anyone, but i admit i had not been watching this season that closely. well tonight i saw the writing on the wall after the fact.
tonight's repeat on nyc's channel 4 at 8pm was entitled "gove love" and dealt with a fictional governor of connecticut whose wife was murdered by a guy who held several fat gov't contracts. he also had a male lover who it seems was shared by the seemingly straight hubby of the deceased. in the course of the trial, serena became almost an advocate of the defense at one point refusing to even assist in the case. now granted, the only way they were able to get a conviction was to have the ny supreme court declare all of the new paltz same sex marriages null and void, so it was very dirty pool. however, she very clearly after being warned repeatedly by ada mccoy, allowed her personal feelings in the matter to influence her ability to perform her job.
this was not one of the more subtle episodes. voicing an opinion is one thing, but refusing, in front of the da, to do her job, seems like a fireable offense.
i know, i'm way too obsessive about this...
