Yeah, this episode was pretty horrible. None of the new characters were interesting. In fact, they all tried WAY too hard to be 'cool' and badass. It failed. BIG time.

Cooper annoyed me with his 'I'm gonna follow my gut and be a rebel. Screw the rules' attitude. By the end of it, I was almost wishing Strauss would fire him. In fact, with that attitude, I'm surprised he wasn't already.

Mike was just one big mess of epic fail. He was annoying with his flirting and his ego the size of Russia. I hated how he saved the day by sniping the unsub. That begs the question - WHY is a profiler running around with a snipergun? I know the man is an ex-sniper but seriously, WTF? Why would you need this if your job is profiling?

Prophet wasn't too bad but I still think his character is ridiculous. Ex-cons don't get into the FBI. Period. Also, the line 'And the Prophet speaks' made me freaking cringe.

Gina was pretty boring. She didn't have enough lines or screen time to annoy me. So I'll give her a little bit of slack.

So no, I wouldn't check out the spin-off.
