I'm sure it's been addressed before, but I'm rewatching some episodes, and I REALLY hate the JJ loves Reid storyline. It's so ridiculous. She had every chance to be with him. She wasn't interested. In one episode she tells Prentiss about Reid asking her to a baseball game as a date, but she brings Garcia. They laugh at the idea it would be a date. So, why the love story later? It feels so forced.
I have two long haul flights coming up, each around 8 hours. I'm not a big film person so instead I want to compile a playlist of all of the best Criminal Minds episodes to get me through lol. I'd love to know: which episode(s) would you add and why??
My personal favourite episode is Minimal Loss! And Emily is my favourite character so I love the eps centred around her :) I've also seen all 19 seasons so your choices can be from the original series or from Evolution!
i’m rewatching criminal minds again and i’ve just saw the episode where they killed off phillip , alvez’s old partner and genuinely what was the reason introduce a nice likeable character to then kill then off same with stephen walker like killing off people in such a short amount of time makes me so upset lmfao
S7E8 Hope is absolutely insane. I feel so bad for Hope
:( and then what the unsub wanted her mother for?? wtf
i know there are earlier posts about it but i’m looking for material for writing fanfics and
just wondering - if the show was happening today, what would the BAU’s income be ?? and how much would they pay for rent/where would they live in the area ?
edit : i’m looking for spencer’s income in particular
one of the reasons i keep coming back to criminal minds is the way the team interacts. even when the cases are intense, the smaller conversations between the characters make the show work.
what part of the bau's dynamic do you enjoy the most?
Whether or not it may be intentional on the writers or actors' parts.
I personally love Reid's mispronunciation of certain words throughout the show (e.g., samhain, ASMR, etc) because it would make sense that Reid, a voracious reader, may not necessarily know how to pronounce the words he comes across from reading.
Whatever happened to Morgan’s dog?
Okay, I’ve been seeing a lot of people talk about their least favorite Criminal Minds characters and I genuinely wanna know 😭 Like, I’m not even trying to argue with anybody, I actually wanna understand people’s opinions because I LOVE this show and I’ve been dedicated to this show for years. Like this is literally my show 😭
So tell me who your LEAST favorite character is and please explain why. Like, I don’t just wanna see a name. I wanna know EVERYTHING.
Was it when they first came onto the show? Did you just immediately not like them? Or did you actually like them at first and then something happened that changed your opinion of them?
Like what was the specific point where you were like, “Yeah, I don’t like this person anymore”? 😭
And also, is it actual hatred for the character, or do you just dislike them? Like, did they do something that pissed you off? Is it their personality? The way they treated another character? Something the writers did with them? Or do you just not connect with them like that?
Because I feel like everybody has their favorites, and then you have those characters where you’re just kinda like… eh. Like I don’t hate them, but I don’t love them either. 😂
I really wanna hear people’s perspectives because I feel like I understand exactly why I love my favorite characters, but I wanna know what made YOU feel the opposite about yours.
And please don’t just say “Haley” or “Reid” or “JJ” and leave 😭😭😭 I need the BACKSTORY. Give me the episode, the season, the moment, the reason, ALL OF IT.
I wanna know where the frustration/hatred actually came from because that’s the interesting part to me.
What a dialogue.
Hi, I'm an undercover CIA agent kinda like jason bourne where they pay me through a fake company but I'm not officially in any system I just have a contact to report to. But I'm not allowed to disclose the contact to anyone. But I'm on probation and my PO said he needs a paystub. I told him this information and he said he'll violate me if I don't give him a paystub. What do I do? Anyone have experience with this?
i've just kinda been jumping around the series these past few days watching all the arcs (The Replicator is my fav). I wanna know what are the episodes you come back to the most? and what about them makes you wanna keep rewatching?
Even a single season was too long with this guy… honestly, if he had been on one episode that would've been one of the weaker episodes. But they have him on for years in a row… What are they thinking?
He was like some wimpy, Gen Z crybaby, not scary at all, and perhaps the worst sin of all for a TV villain… He was just boring.
Instead of just ditching an uncompelling character, they just added contrived details like the Sicarious network, the gold star program, govt conspiracies, a silly redemption arc, podcaster drama, etc.
sigh... none of it worked, because the audience did not find him interesting nor compelling. It was just adding layers of complicated plot that went nowhere all in an attempt to create something interesting in a boring performance. Was the fact that he was so bad because he's a bad actor or bad writing? That I don't know, but the audience from the very beginning, never was really into this unsub, I just wish the show's producers had cut bait and moved on instead of sticking with one of the most boring multi season storylines in TV history.
I mean, with him in a super max prison, can we finally just be done with this guy, ffs? Or will the producers find some way to bring him back, and torture us even more in future episodes?
