did anyone just feel fecking horrible for Kevin in this?
There aren't enough words to describe how horrible I felt for him.
The first time I watched this, I was a lot younger and I will say that I've never been in a relationship, so maybe I don't have the full understanding, but they were together for about 4 to 5 years.
Firstly, how had the conversation never taken place? I feel like surprising someone with a proposal is so much that that's not the way to go come up with there at least needs to be a conversation before hand. In that regard, there is a miscommunication from both of them.
Secondly, it kind of felt like she was there to just play with Kevin. Like she only wanted them to stay boyfriend and girlfriend rather than exploring anything further which I feel like isn't fair either.
Thirdly, it did trick me out that Kevin went to Morgan instead of her asking opinions about what to do.
But I did feel horrible for Kevin especially, because he had clearly thought about the longevity about where they were going, but it didn't feel like she had given it much thought
Would like to hear some other's opinions, if people are interested in sharing

I'm not sure the team knew about Reid's problem
Ok so we talk about how the team didn't do anything for months about Reid's dilaudid addiction, but we're working under the assumption that the team had all the clues we have.
But I rewatched Revelations recently - and he's never given the drugs on camera. I checked the episode - Raphael is the only one who puts the camera on. Tobias gives him drugs before the first broadcast, the second time is after it's turned off, and the third time is right before Raphael takes him outside to dig his grave.
Which means that the team don't know about that. Surely the medics at a hospital would know, but that's also a thing I can easily see him asking them to keep private, which is his right.
And this explains why they never properly notice or do anything. They see his bad mood, they know "somethings going on with him" (Gideon E18), but while it might fit the symptoms of drug addiction, they also know he's suffering from PTSD (his flashbacks, which is essentially what he's self medicating for) and would assume that to be the cause of his odd behaviour.
Besides the existence of the drugs as what Tobias took, there is no reason for the team to assume that a drug addiction is the cause of his problems. They wouldn't jump to that, because they know Reid and have the unconscious bias that he would never do something like that
Additionally, every talk he gets from Morgan and Gideon are all about his ability to keep doing his job despite the trauma he went through, not about anything else. Which is one of the things Reid is going through, with his flashbacks and missing the plane just to see if he could, but despite Gideon stating he knows something is going on, he clearly doesn't know anything about the drugs, which are Reid's second problem in this case.
Of course they do eventually work it out, since it's an open secret in later seasons. But I'm not sure they knew during it.
(Also worth noting that dilaudid can be taken in pill form, and with the many risks of injecting stuff into his veins, it's lively that Reid would have switched to that. Which means he doesn't even have to hide away for too long to take it, he can just swallow a pill every so often, and there's no physical signs like track marks)

What's the point of even delivering the profile?
Every single time they give the profile to the police department, I'm always eyeing who it's gonna be that will come up with an off-screen development that gives them their suspect, but they never do anything. It's always the main team that comes up with the suspects and looks at the evidence and makes the formal arrest.

Seven Seconds.....
Currently watching s3 e5. I've seen this episode so many times but completely forgot about the moment when mom goes on the intercom and talks about her daughter and starts crying. The camera pans to the aunt and she's sitting there like she's bored. Whole time, she's the one "kidnapped" the girl (her niece). I know it's TV and not real but I seriously get mad. Just wanted to vent a little lol!!

[Matt Mitovich] CBS’ #Einstein is the most Matthew Gray Gublerest of Matthew Gray Gubler roles. Lots of fun. #NYCC

WOW 🤯
I don't see many people talking about S4 E21 "A Shade of Gray" often. I just watched it and my mind was blown. So many layers to the story but the ending was wild! That poor family and also the detective/friend who tried to help. Great acting all the way around, you could feel the anguish from the parents and the lack of empathy from the son.

Cast intros
So I been watching criminal since it came out in 2005 and watching the cast intros one thing I never noticed is how alex blake got done dirty in season 8 cast photos at the end of the intros cause she just looked off it like the editing team forgot to fully finish editing her and just left it there but in season 9 she looks much better and I had wondered if anyone else had noticed it

Seven Seconds
On my umpteenth rewatch and just finishing "Seven Seconds." We hear Jeremy ask what's going to happen to him and Spencer say that they will make sure he's all right. Am I the only one who wonders what does happen to him? Do his aunt and uncle take him in or is he too much of a reminder of the destruction his parents did?

The lesson. Criminal Minds has had many bizarre episodes, but this episode 10 of season 8 was just too bizarre, it's even scary at the end. 😳🫣

The Blind Kid in Season 4…
I’ve literally just watched it and I’ve forgotten what number it is. Season 4 ep 22 I think?
There’s a little blind boy, anyway. I’m blind, and I just wanted to flag that he’s not a very good portrayal. This isn’t meant to be a big offended rant, it was like 15 years ago or more, we weren’t good with disability rep.
But this kid is a face toucher, and he uses echo location because… His mother didn’t want him to use a cane? Echo location is a thing, but very few of us use it, it’s just one of those things the media likes to show. Bats and all that. But also it is not nearly that reliable, kid would need a cane. The audio description wasn’t great at describing him, but I think it said he had glasses, which is also not that common. If you can’t see, and light doesn’t affect you, why would you cover your eyes? But honestly the worst bit is the face touching. No one does that, it’s creepy, and I have never understood why the media insists on showing us doing it.
I found it a little funny, because when I watch something with a blind character I have like a mental bingo card, and this one ticked a lot of them. One day I’ll make a drinking game of it.
Anyway, thanks for reading if you got to the end. I hope it doesn’t sound confrontational, I’m not here to cancel anyone or whatever. I just thought it might be of interest to someone.
Edit: ok no glasses on the kid, thanks for clarifying, the description was not phrased well. So I didn’t do as well with my bingo as I thought.
