Profiling Criminal Minds

Criminal Minds 1808: Tara

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!

Profiler: 219 (The Root of All Evil)

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"

Criminal Minds 1807: ...And All The Devils Are Here

A horror episode and a great cliffhanger! If you are afraid of spiders, skip the opening death - just saying!!

Profiler: 216 (Lethal Obsession); 217 (Cycle of Violence); 218 (Die Beautiful)

Three forgettable episodes that have moments of interest. We do a major rewrite of "Die Beautiful"!  Warning: Don't buy a frigging piano!!

Criminal Minds 1806: Hell is Empty...

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.

Profiler: 214 (Every Five Minutes); 215 (Breaking Point)

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.

Profiling Criminal Minds 1805: The Brutal Man

A. J. Cook needs an Emmy for this episode alone!

Profiler: 212 (Shoot to Kill); 213 (Bloodlust)

Writing malpractice, that's all we can say! Too many missing elements.

Criminal Minds 1804: I'm Fine; It's Fine; Everything is Fine

Another solid episode this week as we recover from last week's drama.

Profiler: 210 (Dying to Live); 211 (Ties That Bind)

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.
