How "Rage" didn't win an Emmy, on any level, is beyond me.
The writing for this episode is superb. It's a stage play, for the most part. The opening narration and skewed camera angle sets the tone.
Matthew Modine and Christopher Meloni deserved, at the very least, Emmy nominations if not Emmy wins.
My only criticism, and I mean ONLY criticism, is Stabler's punching the lockers at the end. It too comedic. It made me laugh and I thought it was unfortunate. He should have shut the locker only to have the door bounce back. Then slamming it back again, which sets off the rage where he punches the door over and over. Maybe have him double over and throw up, getting the "poison" out of his system. Fade out.
But that's only a minor criticism. This episode is the best in the entire "Law & Order" family, and it deserved industry respect.
