In two of the four episodes of this, SVU's 11th season, Stabler, Benson, and company have done some shoddy police work. In "Sugar", allowing a "familial hug" between a previously-handcuffed father and his obviously-loony daughter resulted in a tragic end. Now, "Hammered" had Elliott falling for the oldest trick in the book: the suspect (Chris Foley) had to go to the bathroom, unattended. Of course, he was going to fly out the nearest opening.
I don't want my SVU cops coming off like the Keystone ones from silent days.
Also, to allow Christine Lahti's character to go out in the manner that she did was an injustice to her and the show. Granted the character was a pain in the rear but for her to fall so quickly from grace, which allowed the "perp" to be set free, was disappointing.
In addition, one could see the "mix-up" in the viewing of the simulation a mile away. You have to see it to understand from where I'm coming.
The acting by Lahti and Foley, along with recurring performer John Cullum, was very good. It's just that the writers decided to take a few two many dramatic "liberties".
