^ Now THAT I'd watch.
At some point, Stephen Amell said he considered both Arrow and The Flash to be one show. I feel that may be true about SVU and OC - they are so intertwined at this point, although in this case mostly because of the relationship between the two leads.
At this point, NBC might as well spin-off it's own Dick Wolf broadcast network.

It will literally be Law & Order Thursday
At the rate they're going, it'll be more like Law & Order: Olivia. 
(srsly, has there been ONE frickin' episode of OC without Benson in it?)

I'm honestly surprised that there isn't a Dick Wolf Universe channel on, like, Pluto TV or something like that. There are about 1,230 episodes across the Law & Order franchise, and another 450 episodes if you wrap in the four Chicago series, which are canonically in the Law & Order universe. (And another 40-some if you include the FBI series that airs on CBS, which is also in that universe, since Chicago PD's Hailey Upton spent several episodes on FBI.) That's a lot of programming, right there; it would take a while before they'd be going into repeats.
Not yet. Since there are only four episodes left, it'll be funny to see if they actually have her in it for the entire run. Given how abysmally the show is performing, ratings-wise, I'm sure they promote her appearances so strongly just to try and goose the numbers.
I do like OC, but really can’t say I buy Dylan McDermott as a convincing mobster.
SVU hasn't been doing the best lately either. Numbers seemed similar.
The ratings are very similar. Only the Chicago franchise does better. NBC is still way behind in the ratings compared to CBS.
The franchise has simply relied too much on Benson in the past few years to its own detriment.
OC is a mess in its own right. There are so many minor characters and storylines that its hard to keep track. If Stabler is supposed to be the draw, cut back the number of detectives and leave him with his partner and the computer girl and cut out the story about Dylan McDermott's child and his weird relationship with ex-wife. Streamline it. It also doesn't help that a detective whose career was hanging by a thread was somehow sent to Italy on a cultural exchange.

Agreed. I'm wondering how they'll move forward at this rate.
Definitely. And hopefully that'll be done with story wise by ep 8.
Stabler's teaming up with Jack Bauer?
For the Defense at 8, SVU at 9, OC at 10. It's been announced.
Thursday is Dick night. I'm in.
In the recent crossover event (last Thursday night), which episode comes first, SVU or OC?
And what exactly the hell does "Trick-Rolled At The Moulin" mean?

"Trick roll" is a play on "Rickroll"; a search online tells me it has come to mean when a prostitute steals money from the john. The Moulin, of course, was the hotel where things went down.And what exactly the hell does "Trick-Rolled At The Moulin" mean?

SVU comes first. Leads right into OC. The way they differentiated it when it aired was the after-the-title-guest-star-credits played at the beginning and then the show went into the OC title credits.

"Turning tricks" is a very old term for prostitution. "Getting rolled" is a very old term for being taken by a scam.
They literally had the hook to go from SVU to OC solved in the first ten seconds of OC.
I will never understand why they added Demore Barnes and Jamie Gray Hyder to SVU this year. I love their characters and their acting, but they are literally bit players. Kelli Giddish appears every third or fourth episode and Ice-T is there as Olivia's confidant for a scene or two an episode. They are paying more actors to sit on the sidelines while they write stories for Saint Olivia Benson.
