Profiling Criminal Minds

Criminal Minds 1809: CollateRal

If you're not interested in hearing Dan talk about Miami Vice, skip to the 6 minute mark!

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.
