SGALGG-Off: Stephanie March

Wow, since yesterday's Tank Top Tuesday-Off was such an unprecedented success (Note: the votes are still rolling in, so I'll talk to Don King later about that rematch), I thought we'd try another grudge match. But instead of tank tops, it's a Straight Gals Acting Like Gay Gals-Off today. Or, more accurately, Straight Gals Battling Like Gay Gals for a Straight Gal. You know, SGBLGGFSG. Fuck, that acronym just killed the alphabet.

Right, so if you aren't to bloodied from yesterday's battle, here it goes. In honor of Stephanie March's upcoming return to “Law & Order: SVU” as ADA Alex Cabot, I give you a bare-knuckles, no-holds barred brawl for her affections between...drum roll...Mariska Hargitay and Tina Fey. That's right, both women launched a thousands 'ships with their gay subtext (or maintext in the case of “30 Rock”) involving Stephanie. And both women look awfully pretty standing next to her. So, who takes it, ladies and discerning gentlemen? Also, your vote counts double if you can correctly pronounce SGBLGGFSG six-time in a row without breaking your tongue. I mean, we wouldn't want you to damage your tongue. It would make the drooling so much more unsightly.

Olivia Benson & Alex Cabot
Liz Lemon & Gretchen Thomas

So, who should Stephanie end up with? And feel to phrase your answer in the form of a fantasy sequence.

  1. What if Steph is a cylon? Then she could end up with both! With copies left over to destroy the rest of us :)

  2. I'm going with Mariska on this one (and honestly who wouldn't? ;))... only because I'd hate to see you and Tina fake-brake up and fight for fake-gaylimony...
    she's still your fake-wifey, right?? :P

    ReplyDelete
  3. Shut UP! She's headed back to SVU?? Oh happy day, happy day, happy day! :D And I'm giving all the points to Mariska. She's hot, so tough and... and... what... pseudo-gay with the short hair and butchness... and I get the feeling she'd be all over Stephanie (sorry, Alex *grin*) instead of Liz Lemon with her wary 'you can... do stuff to me' assertion. :)

  4. normally i would go with liv on this one, but that first picture of liz with thomas is the deal breaker. plus, i would pay money to see how liz's bi-curious sneaks got along with thomas's oh so out of the closet shoes...

    She will end up with both, no need to choose.
    Alex Cabot and Gretchen Thomas are two of the United States of Stephanie :-)

    Best.Post.EVER! And Mariska for shizzle. I mean, come on, Olivia is like She!Hulk! on that show. She's kicking doors and taking command... no question. They are eye-shagging each other every time they're on screen even if they're talking about their boyfriends or heck even accompanied by their dates, they still have more chemistry with each other. So yeah, Alex & Olivia forevah!

  7. Yeah, I'm going with Tina Fey. Look at the eyes in that first picture! Not to mention - she's totally wearing a tank top!

    Do you know how many times I've watched SVU and thought, "Please be gay. Please be gay. Please date me?"

    Well, it's a lot.

    I love Tina Fey, but it's gotta be Mariska. Short haired MariskaBenson.

    Although, if Mariska and Maria Bello hooked up, coz they are so totally SGALGG (or secretly gay girls acting like straight girls acting like gay girls - or SGGALSGALGG for short (hey a girl can dream)) Tina Fey would surely console Stephanie, which would lead to all sorts of stuff.. being done... if you catch my drift.

    I favor both couples, but I much prefer Stephanie as Alex. So, I'll go for Alex and Olivia. The thought of them- two smart, sexy, strong, and powerful women being together is mind-blowing.

    No clear winner here either, too close to call. I think a couple of bouts of turkish oil wrestling could determine the winners!

  15. Fans of SVU have been waiting so long for Alex and Liv to get together, its ridiculous. here is a pretty good fan fiction, just one piece of evidence that Mariska is the top pick!!

    GAHH! why do you make me choose?!?! ordinarily i'd go with Olivia b/c she just kicks butts and takes names on that show annd you threw in pic of here w/ her short hair :) however, those pics of liz are pretty cute, so i might just have to say liz lemon & gretchen thomas...

    ReplyDelete
  23. OMG MARISKA!!!!
    the subtext from SVU is TOO MUCH to bear. Hopefully her new episodes will not disappoint.
    ...Hmm, Can i have Gretchen Thomas? My birthday is in June.. that's close enough right? :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've got to say Mariska though she was so great with Tina on 30 Rock. It's really a win-win situation with either!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Why bother choosing? Sharing is caring. How can I (or anyone for that matter) choose? Stephanie could be shared between both lovely ladies...fantasy sequence commences...

    I think this might be my favorite post EVER! That includes GGALGG Gold Medal Edition! As much as I would like both Tina and Mariska to be blessed with the wonderful Stephanie March, I think the only chance of this happening is on SVU. Liz seemed pretty sure that she wasn't interested, but Det. Benson's sexuality is still VERY ambiguous. Well, to me anyway ;)

  37. I'm saying Mariska because a) when I picture Olivia and Alex together a big old amount of drool falls out, it's not pretty but it's good
    and b) this Olivia/Elliot subtext people are seeing, is gross, and needs to be corrected with Alex/Olivia subtext. : )

    ReplyDelete
  38. Wow, I'm really surprised of myself because of the two last posts. I mean I was so sure I would choose Bette over everyone and however yesterday I prefered Tasha. And yet today I find out that I would put Liz Lemon behind anyone else, especially behind MARISKA!!!
    Can't wait for the tomorrow surprise!

    Alex Cabot and Olvia Benson are meant to be together. I've made up stories about those two being together. I choose to believe Alex lived as Gretchen Thomas while in the WPP. It is just a matter of time before Alex returns to Olivia.

  42. Considering I wrote one of my honors theses about O/A, I have to go for Mariska...It's a shame they let her hair grow out after she had cut it again last season :/

    SVU Season 2-4 was Olivia/Alex greatness...sadly Cabot's return episodes have been nothing short of disappointing, and lets not even talk about the canon nightmare that is Conviction.

  50. Oops,that's hard to say, given the fact that being German and being deaf I do not know the show (depending on DVDs with GOOD English subtitles) and having an inborne adversary against Gretchen as a first name (Gretchen simply is a diminuitive of Grete and an ooooooold name for parlour maids [like my grandmother's]).

    Ok,ok, ranting over, it's number two Tina Fey I guess ;-)

    Has to be Mariska - Benson never looked at Cabot like letting 'her do stuff to her' would be much of a chore.

    While Gretchen found Liz mildly amusing, Cabot looks anything but amused by Benson, more like 'just shut and kiss me' or 'you're beautiful when you're angry'.

    Here’s one from left field: What about Alex and Serena Southerlyn, the blonde ADA from the original L&O who actually is a lesbian? They worked at the DA’s office at the same time (Alex came in 2000, Serena in 2001) so they would have had to have known each other. Who’s to say they didn’t go out for drinks one night after Trevor Langan stood Alex up or something, got drunk and ended up in bed together?
