CM recap for "Into The Woods" - In which a guest makes an appearance.

It's about time I posted this.

I'm such a horrible procrastinator. Still, I couldn't just let this recap fall by the wayside, because it marks the first new CM episode that I actually watched on VHS!!! Honest to God. Wait, let me back up for a second ( Read more... )

cm episode recaps, criminal minds, spammy goodness, general silliness

I just laughed so hard.
I wish your mom HAD said those things, and I wish your mom was my friend if she did.

HAHAHAH.
Hilarious, you are.

Hehe!

Watching this episode with my mom was... surreal. She REALLY gets into it, especially when children are involved. I feel like I could've written all of her quotes in all-caps, because she literally shouted at the TV the entire time. It was kind of awesome. :P

Thanks for reading!! :D

Detour! I love that episode. I used to love the conspiracy ones more when the show was airing, but the standalones have held up much better over time. JEREMIAH WAS A BULLFROG, WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE. And Mulder's little face!eeeee!

Sorry, off to read the rest now. I just. Mulder. Scully. That song!

Joy to the world... all the boys and girls...

I remember the first time I watched that episode (I think I was 15 or 16 years old) I squeed so hard at that moment that I'm sure the astronauts in the space stations heard me. Lol.

You deserve a mega high-five for your Detour love. :D

Thank thank thank you! You made one of the creepiest and most heart-breaking episodes of this series funny and stuff.

(I feel I should briefly put on my Counselor Cap and explain that traumatized people rarely do what they "should," and I never found it unrealistic that a little boy who had been abducted and raped didn't scream when given the chance - which is why this is the most heart-breaking episode to me)

Also, Stephen Colbert would highly approve of this post and its completely rational fear of BEARS.

It's funny, I wouldn't have found it unrealistic that he didn't scream if it wasn't for my mother sitting next to me shouting it every five seconds. Lol. I think little kids especially will do what they're told (i.e. keep quiet) in situations like that, simply because they're too afraid to employ logic.

And yes, this was one of the most heart-breaking episodes... because he gets away. And you KNOW he's not going to stop. :(

LOL! And yes, I am very much on Mr. Colbert's side when it comes to bears. People need to take them more seriously.

Also, I think you should recap "25 to Life" as if Hotch had been there. What would have been different? Who would have gotten The Stare?

Or not.

It's an idea, anyway.

midnight_jo February 4 2011, 00:16:18 UTC

That's actually a pretty awesome idea. Now I want to do it. Maybe I'll still try and get caught up with all the eps. Maybe. I really want to do "Corazon" and the most recent one, "13th Step". I actually kinda want to do "What Happens @ Home" too, because there's so much to pick on in that episode. So maybe I'll just do all of them. It'll just take a while. :)

This is AMAZING. Yes, yes, yes. You need to review every CM episode ever.

I totally got the "Detour" vibes, too. LOVE that episode.

"... and then steers himself almost magnetically over to the Map Table, where I'm sure he'll spend 90% of his time this episode."

LOL! SO true. Can we please give Reid something else to do?

Where the heck does Reid get all these stats from? The FBI should have him writing multiple-choice questions for the Academy tests: If 2 children and a serial killer with a limp leave Pennsylvania at 9pm traveling 2mph, and one of the children is discarded at 10pm, how big should the diameter of your red-sharpie compass circle be on this map of the Appalachian Trail?
a)8 inches
b)25 centimetres
c)marshmallow
d)infinity
e)all of the above

You are a GENIUS. This is so spot-on.

Reid identifies some dried-up flowers in a ziploc bag as natural painkillers based on THIS cell phone photo:

YES. THIS. I had the exact same thought.

Basically, this review is spot on and brilliant. Beautiful job! <3

Hai! And thank you, my dear!

I'm hopefully going to get a chance in the near future to recap all of the season 6 eps that have aired so far. This is the sixth one (I think) that I've done, and each time I do another recap they keep getting longer, and longer, and more convoluted... so it takes me a while to write them. Still, it's fun.

Glad you enjoyed! And I'm also glad I'm not the only one who questioned Reid's ability to decipher that photo text message. LOL! I mean, sure he's a genius, but...
