The fourteenth season of ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' debuted with a two-part premiere episode on September 26, 2012, at 9:00 pm (Eastern) on NBC, which was the show's weekly time slot. The fourteenth season picked up storyline-wise where the last season left off, with Captain Cragen (Dann Florek) awaking to a dead prostitute in his bed with her throat slit. The two-part season premiere was watched by 7.19 million total viewers and received generally positive reviews. The series' landmark 300th episode fell this season and aired on October 24, 2012, watched by 6.77 million total viewers. This is the first season of ''SVU'' to have any kind of crossover with now ended ''Law & Order'' spinoff, ''Law & Order: Criminal Intent'', Kathryn Erbe guest starring in two episodes "Acceptable Loss" and ''Poisoned Motive'' as her ''LOCI'' character, Alexandra Eames, and Denis O'Hare guest starring in the episode "Presumed Guilty" as his ''LOCI'' character, Father Shea. ==Production== ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' was renewed for a fourteenth season on May 9, 2012. Prior to the season fourteen renewal, cast members Ice-T (Detective Fin Tutuola) and Mariska Hargitay (Detective Olivia Benson) had already renewed their contracts through the fourteenth season. Ice-T announced on Twitter that filming on the fourteenth season began on Monday, July 23, 2012. In May 2012, show runner/executive producer Warren Leight said that the story line for season fourteen will pick up where the thirteenth season finale left off, discussions of a two-part episode up at the time, "In fact, there were a number of scenes we shot that didn't make it into this cut that may make it into the next one. ... It's good to know who did it and why, and who's pulling the strings." On July 30, 2012, Leight confirmed the season premiere would be a two-part episode and Leight told TODAY, after talking about the returning guest stars from "Rhodium Nights", "We may want to do more of that this season," he said. The issue, he pointed out, is "how do you distinguish the 294th episode of 'SVU' from the others? I wanted to give people a reason to come back to season 14. The show deserves a good cliffhanger, and I loved reading people's responses after the finale ended -- 'Did they just do that?'" Leight continued, "People have us in a box," he said, "and I want them to see that the show is a little more adventurous than they might have remembered." In September, Leight said in an interview with ''TV Guide'' that this season's theme would revolve around "everybody having secrets". On September 17, 2012, both Mariska Hargitay & Danny Pino tweeted that filming on ''SVU'' episode 300 started. Mariska tweeted "Can't believe we started filming our 300 episode today! #svu" and Danny tweeted with, "Congrats on 300 SVU's. Proud 2 contribute 28 to the tally. #quality&quantity". Production on season 14 of ''Law & Order: SVU'' (along with other New York City based TV series) was halted by NBC starting October 29, 2012 in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Show runner/executive producer Warren Leight tweeted on October 30, "SVU cast and crew seem to be safe. Our stages, and many of us, in the dark. Our thoughts and prayers to all suffering in Sandy's wake" Ice-T tweeted on November 1, 2012, "SANDY Update: SVU production shut down all week. No power on set." ''Law & Order: SVU's'' home studio on Chelsea Piers has water damage and a loss of electrical power, according to a note on the complex's website, "The city has not issued any location permits this week, so probably the earliest we'll be able to shoot is this weekend," said Warren Leight to ''NECN'', "We are able to do some location scouting tomorrow (November 2, 2012) and we have our production meetings by phone, with people on their cells and calling from their cars. The main issue is going to be getting power restored." Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office said it will not issue permits for outdoor filming in the city's five boroughs until at least Friday, citing concerns about safety and the ongoing cleanup. Ice-T tweeted on November 2, 2012; "Just made it to the SVU set on location in Riverdale NY. My trailer has power, TV and heat. I need to take this MF home!" Leight made a tweet quoting Invictus earlier in the day, "#SVU cast and crew somehow resumed shooting this morning. We are muddied but unbowed." At the production blog on the official website, they note the storm hit while episodes "Lessons Learned", and "Dream Deferred" were being shot; they couldn't get back into the studio or production office for weeks due to flooding. On December 6, 2012, NBC ordered an additional two episodes for this season, bringing the total to 24. The two-hour season finale aired on May 22, 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 14)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
