i dig that they made his mom a central character

[JohnnyAFG]

With just one phrase she shook him to his core. Great writing!

[Melina-fisc]

I love their mother/ son relationship it seems so realistic. They are such great actors 😁

[raea]

These scenes with his mother are Emmy worthy and neither of them have to say anything to leave us in tears. Most actors would give anything to do just one scene with Ellen Burstyn but few can hold up their own talent while doing one!

[sarahjames]

That’s true of medals. Especially ones where you earn them in war or in service. Such simple pieces of metal that symbolize a cost that can be very steep in paying.

[catmom]

I've watched this show since forever & I'm now realising how great the acting is. Chris Maloney is a fine actor.

[fabisilva]

OC is a gem, Elliot and Bernie together rebuilding their relationship is so precious 💞💞💞💞💞

[nw]

The writers did justice to the second season. Such talented minds, I cannot wait for what they have in store for us in the 3rd season.

[TheBarilo]

Ellen Burstyn what another masterpiece performance, when she as Bernadette said to Elliott now you know the price of the medal, such an intense moment

[angelaholmes]

I love this scene with Elliott and his mother

[vtcejcr]

Man I started binge watching law and order from season 1 . I'm 18 years old.
How Elliot got old in Matter of weeks as I binge watch within weeks.
How great was 90s ...I wish I wasn't gen z

The Police Combat Cross is the second highest departmental award of the New York City Police Department.

The Police Combat Cross is awarded to police officers who, "having received Honorable Mention awards, successfully and intelligently perform an act of extraordinary heroism while engaged in personal combat with an armed adversary under circumstances of imminent personal hazard to life".

[mthivier]

Ellen Burstyn actually looks like she could be Chris Meloni's mother. They have the same eyes.

[spencer]

OK when is NBC gonna release the soundtrack for law and order: organize crime, special victims unit and the original

[tawnyschlienz]

I just love Ellen B. She's such a great actress. I'm happy she's El's mom on this series. And I'm happy that he's back on the show. But wish he would have kept the goatee. He was damn sexy with it. Lol. Love a bald man with facial hair. ❤
