Profiling Criminal Minds
An investigation into our obsession with the TV show "Criminal Minds"
Episodes
In which we attempt to figure out a convoluted plot point and somehow neglect to mention that Dan probably had a character named after him!
Doubly disappointed! One: little Jack. Two: the main plot cops out big time. And Sam is truly her father's daughter! Our best pick of the season? "Every Five Minutes"
A horror episode and a great cliffhanger! If you are afraid of spiders, skip the opening death - just saying!!
Three forgettable episodes that have moments of interest. We do a major rewrite of "Die Beautiful"! Warning: Don't buy a frigging piano!!
Great episode, solid killer of the week. However, Dr. Redmond is still not convinced that Voit is a changed man. The last episode will decide who is right.
The first one is Against Out Will as a TV episode. Almost as good at discussing rape as the soaps, which excel at understanding the impact and trauma of rape.
A. J. Cook needs an Emmy for this episode alone!
Writing malpractice, that's all we can say! Too many missing elements.
Another solid episode this week as we recover from last week's drama.
Two more powerful episodes. Get ready to cry if you actually manage to watch them. As the custody battle moves forward, the team seems to have forgotten about the existence of Jack.
A beautiful send-off for Will Lamontagne.
We learned a lot from these answers. And thanks to the fans who sent us questions. We will do this again in the future!
Despite our personal tragedy (which we explain at the beginning of the episode), we were blown away The Zookeeper. So many questions to be answered over the rest of the season. Unsurprisingly, we have mixed feelings about the upcoming episode 3.
Two tight episodes with compelling killers. Also, a custody battle, a disappointed Chloe, and Roma has a baby!
We're back and we are just thrilled with the new episode. We have questions but who cares!
One weird episode about corrupt Chicago judges, two episodes where we have no idea who the killer is, but we do get to meet Jack's Mom!!
Two Great episodes - who knew!
The plot of the first episode makes no sense; the second isn't much better. The most important thing is that Jack is now in the opening credits!!
Who could have seen that coming?
The roulette wheel makes the whole show work - at least, in creating a sense of unpredictability.
