User blog comment:Banningk1979/Law and Order SVU: Slenderman Episode/@comment-4849011-20141113003128

I saw the episode (I guessed the content from the commercials and wanted to see what kind of job they did) and I have to say I thought it was fair. The creator of Glasgowman was shocked that his character was being used as an excuse/motivation for the crime and made it clear he was against it. I feel bad for the poor guy that they thought committed the crime at first. Ironically he was released because the girl lied that he was the one who attacked them, causing the police to suspect what had really happened.

Also, the episode wasn't a stretch, like the one Empy mentioned. My aunt was watching it in another room and I came in near the end. I watched for a couple minutes and asked my aunt, "Are they combining the Paula Deen scandal with the Trayvon Martin shooting?!" She explained the storyline and left it at that. She didn't seem at all thrilled at the concept. ~sighs and rubs temples~ I like the franchise in general, but please, let's stick to the Glasgowman episode and not get started on bad adaptations of real-life events in the L & O franchise. My head won't be able to take it.
