Is there anything you miss about the old Olivia, or things you are glad are gone?
I was watching my season 1 DVD's the other day and ran across the episode where she sleeps with Cassidy....I hate watching that part and it is SO out of character with her now. Of course I didn't get addicted to the show until 2 seasons ago but ew.... everytime I watch that one I just hate that part...lol

I am glad that Cassidy is gone from the show, too. I didn't care for him. And him and Olivia. EWWW

yeah. that was out of character, but i think the way she handled it after the fact was totally olivia.
i sorta miss the way she used to be-- then, when she got emotional it was like almost a treat. lol, something had really really upset her and she was breaking down that wall that she had put up.
now, it's just like she's emotional all the time. (which i can relate to, lol i'm a teenage girl, but still). hopefully next season we'll get more of the old benson back--you know, with the new haircut and all.

I quess, I would like to see Liv and El like they were in Season 1. Dedicated partners. Not the way things have gotten in late Season 6 till now. I have nothing against anyone who ships etc but the emphasis on Liv and El as more than partners has detracted from what I loved about them. Oh well that's just my opinion of course.

If we could go back to season one, with the present cast, I would be very happy. As a couple of you mentioned, Elliot and Olivia worked so well together as partners, but without the emotional crap that seems to get in the way every three seconds now. Emotional every once and a while, professional the rest. And, of course, Butch!Benson is a plus. But at least we will see that this season.

In some ways I'll agree with that, I do think the cast flows better now. Cragen seemed much more of a hard ass in the earlier seasons, which I didn't like to see him like that.

I quess I was used to Cragen from The Mothership so his hard-ass ways weren't a surprise. I think the addition of ADA Cabot and Fin in Season 2 rounded out the cast well and I long for the Old Benson and Stabler..

I agree adding their own ADA rounded things out nicely. Some of the others I didn't like. Of course I love Fin, and not just because his arriving was Jeffries exit! lol I guess I wouldn't mind that about Cragen had I watched since the beginning

And I am so old that I have seen almost every TV show from the beginning. That's how I know about Cragen.
