Law & Order:SVU...Cynthia Nixon vs Sally Field?!
Question: Yikes! Last night I saw the rerun of the DID eppy with Cynthia Nixon doing a Sybil-type character. I found it riveting. When she had the knife at Elliott's house I was mesmerized. Granted, there was no purple crayon and Crazy Mama, but I thought CN did a fabulous job in the schizophrenic part. And I've never seen one episode of Sex in the City.
Anyone have comments or comparisons? I'm sure it wasn't a deliberate copy, but Man! It was good.
Thanks~

I have been a faithful SVU fan since it began and I've seen every episode at least twice (if not 100 times lol)
I think this episode was by far the best EVER....and I really think CN deserves an Emmy award for her performance. It was just superb. The first time this one aired, I was stunned at the ending - that the sisters had planned this all out - the whole thing went so fast, I didn't even complain once *I hate commercials* which I normally do.
I've only seen maybe one or two episodes of Sex in the City, so I'm not that familiar with CN....other than the episode of ER where she portrayed a woman who had a stroke - she could hear and see everything going on around her but she couldn't speak or move - her entire part was shown from her (the patients) perspective and she was phenomenal in that role as well.....
Yes, I too thought it was a great episode. They did mention at the end that the sisters had studied the book Sybil, which is basically textbook for multi-personalities. I thought CN did a fantastic job, too.
