Proof of their expertise (both the actors' and their characters') is always welcome. While I admit I've never hated a single CM episode, this season my favorite is Nelson's Sparrow. I'm looking foward to the spin off, and fervently hoping for a Season 11.

I liked this episode, and although I ...Good review. I liked this episode, and although I don't worship SLW as some do, i can rely on her to use the canon well, write for balance in the storyline, and have interesting unsubs/backstories. I found her Agent Lokar an interesting character, and a much more plausible potential love interest for Reid, and I hope, going forward, TPTB will bring her back (in an episode written by SLW, please), and forget the badly wrought (though nicely acted) Agent Einstein. Oy.<br />I don't think 10 has been a bust, but it sure has been a rocky road; several highs and a bunch of lows with some "hmmmmm…." interspersed. I hope they come back with eleven, but i would wish for the bottom 3 writers to take a break that lasts the rest of CM's tenure.

This episode was full of twists and turns right up to the end and it would be great to have more like this. For me, Sharon Lee Watson seems to be the only one of the current writers who really gets the show and the characters - except for that excellent collaborative effort of Kirsten Vangsness and Erica Messer. Season 10, while not a return to the glory days, has been a huge step up with at least half the episodes as mentioned above being very solid - only a few real stinkers such as Burn, The Forever People and The Boys of Sudworth Place.<br />Let us hope this upward trend continues if we do actually get a season 11. I hope we do get another CM season with most of the main cast intact because I have already checked out of the spin off I'm afraid.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17858868299991645521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-57676352575301159192015-04-01T03:23:55.479-04:002015-04-01T03:23:55.479-04:00Chaucer, I too echo CMRT's view that you touch...Chaucer, I too echo CMRT's view that you touched on all the high points of a great episode; most importantly, not knowing who the true unsub was until late in the episode. Sharon Lee Watson is truly talented at this and her gift, fairy dust, magic, whatever needs to be spiked in a LOT the of the rest of the CM writers.<br /><br />That said, I agree with SCMA; I don't see S10 as a total bust. Has it been as earlier seasons? No. But IMHO, Nelson's Sparrow alone could be the redeeming grace for the whole season as it is now in my Top Ten of CM episodes. Then add all the ones that SCMA has listed and I too can't throw S10 to the curb. In addition, I'm also looking very much forward to "Beyond Borders". Unlike the first spin-off, I have total buy-in. However, I'll be the first to admit that comes with a total Gary Sinise fan. However, given the promo pics posted here by the ever alert, wonderful CMRT staff, I'm getting more than anxious to see this episode.<br /><br />But to things that really matter at the moment.

You touched all the high points of this episode. and agree 100% with 'show and tell' that the writers have been doing, hopefully this will change next season and we will have more episodes like this one (and 'Boxed in', 'A Thousand suns', 'Amelia Porter', 'Lockdown', 'Nelson's Sparrow') in season 11.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766173897342994367.post-22657526680868612552015-03-31T17:15:57.801-04:002015-03-31T17:15:57.801-04:00Indeed, a respectable review; you highlighted all ...Indeed, a respectable review; you highlighted all the amazing features of this episode and Sharon Lee Watson's genius writing as well as Felix Alcala's suspenseful, experienced directing. I just feel, IMHO, that you might have been a bit too negative. I hardly feel that this season has been "lackluster." In fact, there have been many memorable episodes, such as "X," "Boxed In," "Hashtag," "Nelson's Sparrow" and "Lockdown" have all been extremely memorable episodes in addition to all three of Sharon's episodes which you noted: "A Thousand Suns," "Amelia Porter," and "Rock Creek Park." Also, this extremely creepy recurring unsub first introduced in "X," then given a really creepy agenda, presumably tied to the online trafficking ring in "The Boys of Sudworth Place" (not one of the better episodes but enough plot twists to make it good and the B plot was awesome). In fact, the only episode I would classify as lackluster would be "Burn." (the unsub's storyline, not Garcia's) <br /><br />This is only my opinion though, you are entitled to your opinion just as much as I'm entitled to mine; I'm sure there are people who disliked a lot more than one of this season's episodes... then again, some people view the show much differently and have much different expectations than me. That's a result of how extremely dynamic this show is. I guess I'm just trying to say that when reviewing an amazing episode like this, I would expect a lot more optimism. Rather than criticizing Sharon's previous episodes, I would've commended her for how much she has learned and highlight how well she has taken what she's learned and used it to gain such a grasp on this show. But nevertheless, you did this episode its well-deserved justice. For that, I commend you. Can't wait for "Beyond Borders"!!!<br />Long Live CM!!!!severeCMaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060975332293960750noreply@blogger.com
