She is supposed to be a professional, and I don't believe that Hotch would cut her that much slack no matter how much he liked her. Maybe in the beginning, he would give her time to adjust, but after years(?), she should be used to seeing the pictures of dead bodies, and as Jonis said, her reactions are silly and childish. After all, presenting these cases to the team is a part of her job. It's time for her to grow up. They have toned her down quite a lot this season, but it's still too much for me to handle. Her quirky ways were cute in the beginning, but they grew tiresome after the first season or so. Now, they're just tiresome.<br /><br />And, I, for one, don't like her story arc and hope it's over very soon. I'm sorry to say I haven't found it interesting.SouthunLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09415872805161266951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-28764184448888161522015-12-12T14:13:32.974-05:002015-12-12T14:13:32.974-05:00I so agree on line delivery—it’s one of my pet pee...I so agree on line delivery—it’s one of my pet peeves. I honestly think the only one of the cast who was really skilled with inflection was Paget Brewster. The rest are as likely to get it wrong as to get it right, even JM and TG, at times. I suspect that some of it is an attempt at characterization. But it always makes me wonder if they understand the meaning of what they are saying. <br /><br />I agree that the broken up delivery of the profile feels artificial. But, as with the occasional ‘exposition dump’ of information, I accept it as part of the price of admission. If they were to go another way with it, I agree that it would be nice to have it largely delivered by one of the seniors, with the others expanding on the parts of it that fit with their areas of expertise. Sadly, said areas of expertise have largely disappeared, which is probably what makes the profile delivery seem so generic. <br /><br />Re: murders—it’s true that most singleton and many mass murders are committed by someone known to the victim(s), for the reasons you mention. But the BAU is involved with serial killings, which have a very different dynamic. Most of those perpetrators are psychopaths or sociopaths, or both----hence the bizarre behaviors and thinking patterns. As to how many of them are involved with medical experimentation----who knows? Probably fewer than the show portrays, but more than we’d like to think.<br />JustMyOpinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881251246731782720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-49886326424677853762015-12-12T01:14:36.532-05:002015-12-12T01:14:36.532-05:00It felt like a bad horror film to me. The only thi...It felt like a bad horror film to me. The only things I liked about it were that they mentioned Reid in a positive way and that Hotch had more to do than "wheels up in 30." I was afraid that after having significant screen time in last week's episode, he would be absent for much of this one. As for the unsub, while I believe that a young child would/could be freaked out by that kind of confrontation with a creepy old guy in a hospital, I think it's a stretch to say that caused him to experiment on people and end up killing some of them to use their blood on others. I think statistics will show that most murders are committed for reasons of greed, rage, revenge. Someone wants to move on but doesn't want to go through a divorce or custody battle. They just want out and not only do they not want to pay anything, they may hope to get life insurance payouts and/or inheritance to get them out of debt or help them to attract someone else. How many killers are out there, do you suppose, that want to do medical experiments on random victims? I get that the writers are looking for something different, they feel they've run out of ideas, but this is just nonsense. Better writing for the team, show how they come up with the profile instead of just roboticly stating one line per team member when they give the profile would be so much better. In the days when Gideon was still there, he held it together. He and Hotch had the lion's share of the lines and they were complete thoughts. The others would add points in between instead of now having it feel like each line is numbered with a number assigned to a particular agent and then they divvy them up equally. It becomes disjointed, robotic, boring. Reid used to do a good job delivering his lines in the profile. Often now he does the rush line delivery that has the opposite effect. In stead of making him more interesting, it just makes him more boring because the lines get thrown away when delivered at that pace with no emotion or inflection behind them. Prentiss always did a good job with her portion of the profile. She made it seem relevant and well thought out, not just stuck in there because it was her turn to say something. Lewis feels like she's thinking so much about her lines and trying to put pauses in them that it's not a natural delivery. <br /><br />Also, like some of the rest of you, I have no interest in this case about Garcia. She has become so annoying to me, that I'm ready to bump her off myself. She clearly can't handle the crime scene photos and details anymore, so either let the dirty dozen kill her or send her on a long vacation away from the BAU. Anybody that's that sensitive and childish does not belong in the FBI, especially not the BAU. I'm looking forward to getting Reid back. I hope his upcoming episode is not tainted by dwelling on Garcia and the dirty dozen. Could something please be about him for a change. Some of the best episodes in the early seasons 1-4 were episodes that featured him. Do they not get that ?

But it also begged the question of who's been taking care of it right along. Surely some of these sensational murders attract media attention. Hoping we'll see JJ use those skills more often---and, by 'see', I mean, actually on screen. She was always at her best when she was handling the press---professional, confident, and working in concert with her unit chief. I would welcome that JJ back with wide open arms.JustMyOpinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881251246731782720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-26245099201471570942015-12-10T13:35:32.933-05:002015-12-10T13:35:32.933-05:00Like your take, JMO.

Remember, Breen's most recent work was arguably the best episode of the season; my hopes are high.<br /><br />That being said, I'm only going to point out the good parts of this episode, since my plan to leave the negatives of the episode to be pointed out by the happy-go-lucky optimists has proven successful. Bruce Zimmerman is a cerebral writer. This episode did not stray from that, but it did stray from the greatness that was his last two episodes (A Place at the Table, then The Night Watch). Every writer has their hiccups. We all talk about the good 'ol days but what about "Honor Among Thieves", "Parasite," "The Big Wheel", or the trainwreck called "The Fight"? To all of which I've seen criticism. The best thing about Bruce is his unpredictability, (which I admit was lacking), his grip on Reid (much better than most of the other writers, besides Sharon and Breen and Jim). Reid not being in this episode did hurt it, but I thought the episode was entertaining overall.<br /><br />THE POSITIVES:<br />Seeing the unsub early did not hurt the episode, Hotch, Rossi, and Reid are the ones who solved the case, it wasn't Morgan and JJ to the rescue. The shout-out to Reid, and the concept that you cannot have life without death, and the emotional weight of that brought out in this episode. The dirty dozen arc is still interesting to me, but I am glad it is ending mid-season to give us some new stuff. Garcia didn't bust out the "magic computer" as so coined by the happy-go-lucky's. And, finally, the ending, the bittersweet ending to go compliment the unsub's departure from reality, followed by what I thought to be the best cliffhanger since To Hell and Back (only MY opinion; please don't shoot!) Also, the fact that this episode reminded me of "God Complex" and, for only one scene, "Legacy", did not hurt the episode either. I enjoyed it.<br /><br />I loved Garcia in this episode. This situation, to me, is quite realistic. These hitmen are not only smart assassins, but smart hackers. If Garcia is living in say the FBI academy dorms, or ...basically anywhere else but where she currently is, she'll be that much further away from Hotch and Morgan and the people she trusts the most who will protect her at any cost. Anywhere else, something can go wrong. As we've seen before, sometimes the bad-guys hide behind the guise of FBI. She's there because they don't know who they can trust, and desperate times call for desperate measures. I think its kinda cool.<br />Hope Bruce's next episode pleases the masses better, and I CANNOT wait to see Entropy.<br />I give it a B+, and 7.25/10 (would've been 7 without the 2 different Reid shout-outs)<br />LONG LIVE CM!!!!!!!!!!!!severeCMaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060975332293960750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-78161247780131006872015-12-10T11:40:45.909-05:002015-12-10T11:40:45.909-05:00I'd like to say, Rockie, that you are the ligh...I'd like to say, Rockie, that you are the light at the end of this dark tunnel of commentary and perception. I, too, am the eternal CM optimist. Bruce wrote two consecutive amazing episodes; "A Place at the Table" followed by (next season, of course) "The Night Watch" ... I think you and I understand Bruce's writing in a unique way. I definitely agree that Matthew is not going ANYWHERE and although I think it is still likely that someone will be leaving in his episode (1118) since it will be co-written by Kirsten Vansgness and Erica. However, your proposal that NO ONE is going anywhere is quite the head-scratcher!

To me, it came across as a script that might have been written to include the character, and then re-written to accommodate his absence. I did appreciate Rossi’s non-snarky allusions to Reid and his genius. <br /><br />This show is never good with its medical science, and this episode was emblematic of that. But, as a ‘medical fantasy’, it was a reasonably intriguing plot. Had there been substantially more team (with Reid) and substantially less unsub/victims, I would have given it a pass. <br /><br />I am not finding the ‘Dirty Dozen’ arc to be either suspenseful or interesting so far. It feels like they made it so convoluted at the beginning that even the writers don't understand what it’s about any more. So we just get scenes of Garcia wandering around the BAU in her pajamas. Speaking of which----they made a point of giving us a screen shot of the ‘FBI Academy’ sign. The FBI Academy has dorms. Why is Garcia living in an office?<br /><br />I found the final scene to be bizarre. But kudos to TG for keeping a straight face.<br /><br />Looking forward to January, and the return of Spencer Reid. Hopefully it will also mark the return of intrigue, suspense, and continuity.<br />JustMyOpinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881251246731782720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-54074525843228716152015-12-10T05:11:04.160-05:002015-12-10T05:11:04.160-05:00I found the episode to be boring, with too much un...I found the episode to be boring, with too much unsub too soon and additionally I found some of the acting on the part of the guest stars to be lacking.
