Elle’s final episode! I can’t tell you how excided I was to watch this one. Sad that Hotch wasn’t with the team, but it made sense in the end.

In my opinion, one of Hotch’s best early episodes. There are hints of the storylines that are soon to come, and they are portrayed just right.

The UnSub freaked me out in this one, especially when he ( Read more... )

Max Ryan is a jerk. I don’t care if he’s famous. He’s still a jerk. He treats everyone like crap, because they aren’t doing what he did when he was in the BAU. Newsflash, things change.

This is one of those episodes that I only like certain scenes of. I don’t know why that would be. Reid and JJ have a couple of good scenes, as well as Gideon. Even Elle was tolerable.

Reid gets to prove himself.

Reid also gets his ass kicked by his boss.

Let’s just say that there are days when this is on repeat. At least, the last fifteen or so minutes anyway. I just love badass!Reid.

The first episode of Criminal Minds starts out with a bang. Kinda.
